THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council HEREBY DETERMINES that Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 are classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. Class 32, Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act exempts projects characterized as in -fill development if the project meets the following conditions: 1) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies. In addition, the project is generally consistent with all applicable zoning designations and regulations as small lot subdivisions are permitted in the R-3 zone with the approval of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review. The increase in density and modifications to development standards are achieved through concessions and waivers/reductions are permitted under California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). 2) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; The project site is approximately 0.368 acres and is located within the City of Rosemead's municipal boundaries. The project site is surrounded by urban uses and bounded by residential use to the north, west, south, and east of the project site. One block extending east along Hellman Avenue is generally characterized by multi -family residential developments, a beauty salon, offices, retail stores, a gasoline station, and a religious institution. 3) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; The project site, located within a fully urbanized residential neighborhood, is disturbed and has been developed with two residential units, a paved surface driveway, and other site improvements for many decades. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 4) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and; Traffic A Trip Generation and VMT Screening Assessment was reviewed and accepted by the City's contract traffic engineer. Small projects generating fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less -than -significant transportation impact. As depicted in the project trip generation table, the project trips associated with the project is 82 vehicle trips per day. The screening threshold for Small Projects is met and the project can be assumed to have a less -than -significant transportation impact and project specific VMT analysis is not required. Noise Both the construction and operation of the project will comply with all requirements of the Rosemead Noise Ordinance, per Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 8.36. Therefore, the project will not cause significant noise impacts. Air Quality Vehicle trips will be the primary source of emissions associated with the project's operations. Given the nature of the proposed use, net emissions from operation of the project will be well below South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds. During project construction, the development team will comply with all applicable SCAQMD and City standards regarding construction equipment and fugitive dust to minimize any air quality impacts. Water Quality Preparation and compliance with a Low Impact Development (LID) Plan will ensure that the project meets all applicable water quality and water discharge requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and has no significant water quality impacts. 5) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The urbanized project site is already served by Southern California Edison (electricity), the Southern California Gas Company (gas), and Golden State Water Company (water). Sanitary sewer service is provided by the City of Rosemead in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. Recycling and waste collection are provided by Republic Services, Inc. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (Temple Station) and Los Angeles County Fire Department (Station 4) provide emergency response services. The project site will continue to be adequately served by all agencies going forward. Accordingly, Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 are classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of CEQA guidelines. SECTION 2. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Design Review 24-02 in accordance with Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: FINDING 1: The plans indicate proper consideration for the relationship between the proposed building and site developments that exist or have been approved for the general neighborhood. FACT: The subject property is located within an established multi -family residential area along Hellman Avenue. The multi -story design of the small lot development is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood as the subject property is located directly adjacent to multi -story, multi- family residential developments to the east and west of the subject property. The applicant has provided an aesthetically complementary mid-century modern inspired design, which incorporates wood siding and paneling, cool earth toned colors, contrasting black doors and light fixtures, and can be found on existing residential developments in the general neighborhood. In addition, the use of decorative hardscape materials for driveways and new landscaping would create visual interest from the public right-of-way and improve the overall aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood. FINDING 2: The plan for the proposed structure and site development indicates the manner in which the proposed development and surrounding properties are protected against noise, vibrations, and other factors which may have an adverse effect on the environment, and the manner of screening mechanical equipment, trash, storage and loading areas. FACT: The project is located within an established multi -family residential area along Hellman Avenue. New split -face CMU block walls with vines will be constructed along the north, south, east, and west property lines. All mechanical equipment will be located on the rooftop and will be screened by a three-foot parapet, while the trash enclosure is located in the rear of the development and screened from the public view. All construction work will be required to comply with the timeframe and decibel levels indicated in the City of Rosemead's Noise Ordinance. Conditions of approval relating to the submittal of a construction management plan, noise, landscaping, and the screening of mechanical equipment will be imposed on the project to protect surrounding properties against potential adverse effects. FINDING 3: The proposed building or site development is not, in its exterior design and appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing buildings or site developments in the neighborhood as to cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. FACT: The proposed project would not depreciate the appearance and value of the local environment. Staff has worked closely with the applicant to achieve a residential design that would complement the neighborhood character. The applicant has proposed a mid-century modern inspired design, which incorporates some aesthetic characteristics found in other residential developments directly adjacent to the east and west of the project site and in the surrounding vicinity. To complement the architectural style of the adjacent properties and surrounding neighborhood, the project incorporates design elements that include composite wood siding, wood panels, recessed windows, modern balconies, and contrasting trims. The project also incorporates interlocking pavers and stamped concrete for the driveways and perimeter landscaping to improve the overall aesthetics of the property which would only appreciate the property in appearance and value. FINDING 4: The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where buildings are within or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part of the Civic Center or in public or educational use, or are within or immediately adjacent to land included within any precise plan which indicates building shape, size, or style. FACT: The subject property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan, or land reserved for public or educational use.

The project aligns with development within the surrounding multi -residential neighborhood. FINDING 5: The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. FACT: The proposed development with the approval of California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) concessions and waivers/reductions would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. FINDING 6: The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries, and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effect of the development from the view of public streets. FACT: The design and construction of this project would preserve and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic as access would continue on Hellman Avenue. In addition, a three -car parking garage is provided on each of the ten small lots and all proposed luminaries would comply with Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.88. Furthermore, the incorporation of design elements such as recessed windows, wood siding, and wood panels in combination with decorative hardscape on the proposed driveway and new landscaping will significantly improve the visual effect of the site from the view of the public street. SECTION 3. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Tentative Tract Map 84327 in accordance with Chapter 16.04 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: FINDING 1: That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. FACT: Tentative Tract Map 84327 will create ten small lots. The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designations and regulations as small lot subdivisions are permitted in the R-3 zone with the approval of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law. There is no applicable specific plan. FINDING 2: That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. FACT: Tentative Tract Map 84327 will create ten small lots. The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designations as the applicant is proposing an aesthetically pleasing small lot development that will create visual interest from the public right-of-way with the use of architectural design elements, decorative hardscape, and new landscaping. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law. There is no applicable specific plan. FINDING 3: That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. FACT: The R-3 zone is intended to provide opportunities for well-designed multi -family housing and small lot developments. The minimum lot area for a small lot subdivision is 10,000 square feet (excluding existing legal nonconforming lots). The subject site exceeds the lot minimum and consists of two parcels totaling approximately 16,018 square feet. The proposed development with the approval of California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) concessions and waivers/reductions would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code and is located in an established multi -family residential neighborhood. In addition, conditions of approval relating to the submittal of a reciprocal access and/or maintenance easement, construction management plan, noise, landscaping, and the screening of mechanical equipment will be imposed to ensure the site is physically suitable for a small lot subdivision. FINDING 4: That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. FACT: The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. The subject site allows for a total of ten dwelling units, however, the applicant has requested for a density bonus, under Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) which permits density bonuses up to 50% for a total of 15, four-story dwelling units, two of which would be deed -restricted affordable units for very low- income households. In addition, concessions and waivers/reductions would ensure that the development is able to achieve the density granted by State Density Bonus Law. The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law and the site is physically suitable for the proposed density. FINDING 5: That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. FACT: The project site, located within a fully urbanized residential neighborhood, is disturbed and has been completely developed with two residential units, a paved surface driveway, and other site improvements for many decades. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Furthermore, the General Plan does not identify any biological resources within the City. There are no species identified as endangered, candidate, sensitive, or special status species within the limits of either the site or in the immediate area. Consequently, no significant impact would occur to any sensitive species designated by the resources agencies as a result of project implementation. FINDING 6: That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. FACT: The proposed small lot subdivision is located within an established multi -family residential neighborhood. The project has been reviewed by all applicable City Departments, as well as outside agencies that include the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company and Los Angeles Sanitation Districts to determine if the proposed development will be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. With implementation of conditions of approval related to construction operations, noise, drainage, fire safety, etc., the proposed development is not anticipated to cause public health problems. FINDING 7: That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. FACT: The Public Works Department has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the adjacent right-of-way and there are no easements that would conflict with the proposed project. Vehicular access to the project site will be provided from Hellman Avenue and will be privately maintained. Based on this review, it is determined that the design and construction of the project would preserve public safety and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, the City Engineer has deemed the trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) screening analysis acceptable and has also incorporated conditions of approval to ensure that any potential traffic related issues are mitigated. SECTION 4. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that approving Density Bonus Application 25-01 would comply with Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). State Government Code Section 65915(d)(1) requires that the requested concessions be granted unless one of the following findings can be made: (A) The concession or incentive is not required in order to provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in subdivision (c).

Attachment B Planning Commission Staff Report (Dated June 2, 2025) ROSEMEAD PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: PLANNING DIVISION DATE: JUNE 2, 2025 SUBJECT: DESIGN REVIEW 24-02, TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 84327, AND DENSITY BONUS APPLICATION 25-01 7741-7745 HELLMAN AVE SUMMARY Chaplon Mu has submitted a Tentative Tract Map and a Design Review application, requesting to utilize the City's Small Lot Ordinance for the creation of ten small lots. The project also includes a Density Bonus application pursuant to California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law), which permits density bonuses up to 50% for a total of 15, four-story dwelling units, two of which would be deed -restricted affordable units for very low-income households. The granting of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review is required for small lot subdivisions, while the granting of a Density Bonus application by the City Council is required in order to exceed standard density requirements. Per Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.120.030(B), multiple applications for the same project shall be processed concurrently, and shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the highest review authority designated by this Zoning Code for any of the applications. The Planning Commission would still hear each application and forward recommendations to the City Council. The subject site is located at 7741- 7745 Hellman Avenue (APN: 5286-036-016 and 5286-036-017) in the Medium Multiple Residential (R-3) zone. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION Class 32, Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act exempts projects characterized as in -fill development if the project meets the following conditions: 1) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; Planning Commission Meeting June 2, 2025 Page 2 of 42 The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies. In addition, the project is generally consistent with all applicable zoning designations and regulations as small lot subdivisions are permitted in the R-3 zone with the approval of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review. The increase in density and modifications to development standards are achieved through concessions and waivers/reductions under California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). 2) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; The project site is approximately 0.368 acres and is located within the City of Rosemead's municipal boundaries. The project site is surrounded by urban uses and bounded by residential use to the north, west, south, and east of the project site. One block extending east along Hellman Avenue is generally characterized by multi -family residential developments, a beauty salon, offices, retail stores, a gasoline station, and a religious institution. 3) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; The project site, located within a fully urbanized residential neighborhood, is disturbed and has been developed with two residential units, a paved surface driveway, and other site improvements for many decades. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 4) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and; Traffic A Trip Generation and VMT Screening Assessment (Exhibit "D") was reviewed and accepted by the City's contract traffic engineer. Small projects generating fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less -than - significant transportation impact. As depicted in the project trip generation table, the project trips associated with the project is 82 vehicle trips per day. The screening threshold for Small Projects is met and the project can be assumed to have a less -than -significant transportation impact and project specific VMT analysis is not required. Planning Commission Meeting June 2, 2025 Page 3 of 42 Noise Both the construction and operation of the project will comply with all requirements of the Rosemead Noise Ordinance, per Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 8.36. Therefore, the project will not cause significant noise impacts. Air Quality Vehicle trips will be the primary source of emissions associated with the project's operations. Given the nature of the proposed use, net emissions from operation of the project will be well below South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds. During project construction, the development team will comply with all applicable SCAQMD and City standards regarding construction equipment and fugitive dust to minimize any air quality impacts. Water Quality Preparation and compliance with a Low Impact Development (LID) Plan will ensure that the project meets all applicable water quality and water discharge requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and has no significant water quality impacts. 5) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The urbanized project site is already served by Southern California Edison (electricity), the Southern California Gas Company (gas), and Golden State Water Company (water). Sanitary sewer service is provided by the City of Rosemead in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. Recycling and waste collection are provided by Republic Services, Inc. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (Temple Station) and Los Angeles County Fire Department (Station 4) provide emergency response services. The project site will continue to be adequately served by all agencies going forward. Accordingly, Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 are classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of CEQA guidelines. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission: 1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public testimony; and Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-07 with findings (Exhibit "A"), a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt City Council Resolution No. 2025-29 (Exhibit "B") for the approval of Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 (Exhibit "E"); and 3. Find that the project is exempt from CEQA review pursuant to Class 32, Section Planning Commission Meeting June 2, 2025 Page 4 of 42 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.

Proposed Site Plan Desian Review 24-02 Per Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.12.030(2)(g), the granting of a Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review is required for a small lot subdivision. The project is proposed with ten small lots. Tentative Tract Map 84327 Section 66474 et seq of the Subdivision Map Act describes the grounds for approving a subdivision map. In addition, Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 16.04 provides subdivision regulations, which adopt Los Angeles County subdivision regulations by reference. The project includes the consolidation of two existing parcels into ten small lots. Planning Commission Meeting June 2, 2025 Page 6 of 42 State Density Bonus Law State Density Bonus Law allows developers to build more housing units than permitted by local zoning regulations if they include a certain percentage of affordable housing units for very low-income, low-income, moderate -income, or other qualifying groups, such as seniors. In return, developers may request both concessions and waivers/reductions from development standards such as reduced parking requirements, setbacks, open space requirements, or increased height limits to improve project feasibility. To be eligible for a density bonus, the project must include at least five units and reserve a percentage of them for affordable housing. Accordingly, the requested Density Bonus Application is summarized in the table on page 6.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION - Adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 25-07 with findings (Exhibit "A"), a resolution recommending that the City Council adopt City Council Resolution No. 2025-29 (Exhibit "B") for the approval of Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 (Exhibit "E"). Senior Planner Lao presented the staff report. Chair Escobar opened the Public Hearing. Vice -Chair Ung asked if there is a minimum requirement square footage for affordable housing units Senior Planner Lao replied that there is not minimum requirement Vice -Chair Ung questioned if the small lots could be sold separately or together. She further asked how affordability would be enforced. Senior Planner Lao responded that the units are sold together because they are on a single parcel. Vice -Chair Ung further questioned whether the buyer of the lot would be required to rent it out in an affordable manner and how affordability would be enforced. City Attorney Gutierrez responded that since the units are all on one parcel, whether they are purchased outright or rented, the two affordable units must be occupied by members of very low-income families. She added there are established processes to determine eligibility, and a state requirement mandates annual follow-up to ensure continued affordability. Vice -Chair Ung commented that anyone purchasing the lot would be made aware that they must comply with the affordability requirement. City Attorney Gutierrez replied that a covenant would be recorded on the property to ensure enforcement. Commissioner Tang requested that Senior Planner Lao briefly explain the Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance for public awareness. Senior Planner Lao explained that the Small Lot Subdivision Ordinance is similar to that of the City of Los Angeles. The City adopted this ordinance to promote homeownership. It allows for fee simple ownership, meaning there is no Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 1, 2025 2of9 need for Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs). She added, for example, in a condominium subdivision, there is a ten-year liability period. In contrast, a small lot subdivision has detached units, which eliminates that liability. This makes it easier for individuals to purchase homes. Additionally, a reciprocal access agreement is required, which is less stringent than the requirements in a condominium subdivision. Commissioner Tang then questioned how developments with multiple units would coordinate the cost of trash services and manage shared maintenance responsibilities. Senior Planner Lao explained a maintenance agreement is formed and executed by all property owners and will be recorded. When the property owners receive the property, they automatically become members of that maintenance agreement, and it is made known to them. Commissioner Tang further commented that it is similar to an HOA agreement that the property owners would contribute to. Senior Planner Lao confirmed that this is correct but clarified that it would not be an HOA, it would be a maintenance agreement. Commissioner Tang asked who would execute the agreement. Senior Planner Lao responded that all of the property owners. Commissioner Tang then asked how the agreement functions in practice. City Attorney Gutierrez explained that similar to an HOA or CC&Rs, the property owners hold each other accountable. In addition, the City includes provisions that allow it to intervene at the Code Enforcement level if the maintenance agreement is not being upheld. Director of Community Development Valenzuela added that there are Conditions of Approval requiring property owners to abide by the maintenance agreement. If the property owners fail to comply with the terms of the agreement, they would be in violation of those Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Tang commented that he wanted to ensure the City was thorough in its process and had covered all bases. He further noted that while this is not the City's first small lot subdivision, it is the largest to date. Senior Planner Lao confirmed that this is the third small lot subdivision in the City. Director of Community Development Valenzuela also confirmed that it is the largest subdivision in the City. Commissioner Tang then asked for clarification on the line -of -sight ordinance and whether it impacts this development. Senior Planner Lao responded that there are no variable height requirements in the R-3 zone, so the line -of -sight ordinance does not apply. Chair Escobar opened the floor for public comment on Item 3A. She announced that the City had received a written public comment from Mike Godoy and invited Mr. Godoy to speak and to state his name and address for the record. Mr. Godoy stated his name and address for the record. He is a Rosemead resident who lives adjacent to the proposed development. He expressed concerns about existing traffic congestion in the area, particularly during peak hours, and Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of lune 2, 2025 3of9 noted that the addition of a new 15 -unit development would likely worsen the situation. He emphasized that this could lead to increased delays and posed safety hazards for both residents and commuters. Mr. Godoy urged the Planning Commission to conduct a comprehensive traffic impact study to evaluate the potential effects of the development. He also recommended implementation of traffic calming measures, such as improved signage, traffic signals, and enhanced pedestrian crosswalks, to mitigate the impact on the surrounding community. He shared that he moved to Rosemead about a year ago with his family from South Los Angeles and has witnessed similar developments that negatively impacted neighborhoods, particularly regarding insufficient parking and overcrowding. While he acknowledged and appreciated efforts to provide affordable housing, he expressed concern that this development is located on an already busy street. He mentioned that he often parks across the street and finds it dangerous to cross with his children due to the high traffic volume. He concluded by again urging the Planning Commission to seriously consider his concerns and to investigate potential safety measures if the project is approved. Chair Escobar then asked if anyone else in the audience would like to speak on Item 3A or if the applicant wished to address the Commission. The applicant, Chaplon Mu, stated his name for the record. He is the developer, The Connected Companies, a local multi -family and mixed-use development firm focused on connecting communities through real estate. Mr. Mu shared that he was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley and has firsthand experience with the challenges immigrant families face in pursuing the American Dream of homeownership. He noted that achieving that dream has become increasingly difficult, stating that homeownership is no longer attainable within just half a generation. With average home prices in Rosemead exceeding $900,000 and rental rates for older homes above $2,500 per month, many residents find it nearly impossible to afford housing. Mr. Mu emphasized that The Connected Companies' mission is to combat the housing crisis by developing high-quality housing that is accessible to the average citizen. For over a year and a half, he has worked closely with City staff to develop a solution aligned with the City's vision for affordable housing while being sensitive to the character of surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed project, known as the Wilmar Residences consists of 15 small -lot units, including two affordable units reserved for families earning 30% of the area median income. Mr. Mu highlighted that this affordability component is a central element of the company's mission. Located at the major intersection of Hellman Avenue and Del Mar Avenue, the workforce housing project features five one -bedroom units targeted at young professionals entering the workforce, but also suitable for empty nesters transitioning out of the workforce. The remaining units are four-bedroom, four -bath homes ranging from 1,300 to 2,100 square feet across two floors, designed to offer privacy and accommodate multigenerational households who often must consolidate due to high housing costs. Mr. Mu acknowledged existing street parking challenges in the area but noted that they completed the parking analysis, showing the project falls below the daily minimum traffic trip threshold, which supported the 15 -unit configuration. He also shared current market comparisons, stating that nearby new construction one -bedroom units are leasing for approximately $2,600, and four-bedroom units for over $4,800. In contrast, the workforce units are expected to lease at a more affordable range at approximately $2,200 to $2,300 for the one -bedroom units and $3,900 to $4,300 for the four-bedroom units. The design allows for the four-bedroom units to be split between floors, providing privacy and flexibility for shared living arrangements. Mr. Mu stated that with the Planning Commission's support, The Connected Companies is prepared to help alleviate the housing shortage in Rosemead while elevating the community through thoughtful, well-planned development that reflects the values and needs of the small town America. Vice -Chair Ung commented that she appreciated both the increased quantity and improved quality of housing, noting the replacement of two older structures with 15 new units. However, she raised concerns about the functionality of the shared stairwells. She assumed that the design presumes that each stacked unit would be owned by a single family, but expressed concern that families might prop open the doors between units, which would compromise the integrity of the fire -rated walls. She suggested this issue may warrant further consideration, such as incorporating internal stairwells. While she acknowledged that this could reduce usable space or require changes to construction types, she believed it was important to evaluate from a safety and practical use standpoint. Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 4of9 Mr. Mu responded that in the units where the one -bedroom is located on the second floor, each stairwell is separated by doors within the units, which supports compliance with fire rating standards. Vice -Chair Ung reiterated her concern, emphasizing that families may still prop open the doors, defeating the purpose of the fire protection measures. Mr. Mu acknowledged her concerns and stated that he would take them into consideration. Chair Escobar commented that, after reviewing the staff report, she believes the proposed project aligns with the City's objectives to promote diverse housing options and increase homeownership. She expressed her appreciation for the project. Commissioner Tang remarked that the Small Lot Ordinance is one he was pleased to be involved with during his short time on the City Council. He credited Council Member Sean Dang for introducing the idea of small lot subdivisions to the City. Commissioner Tang noted that the ordinance has made positive progress and represents an innovative approach to development in a densely built city like Rosemead. He further explained that since the City is essentially built out, such innovations are necessary to increase housing and redevelop older homes. He expressed his belief that this project is a great way to increase housing within the community. Chair Escobar added that the City is currently facing a housing crisis, and that adding 15 new units will help meet the RHNA (Regional Housing Needs Allocation) targets. She emphasized that the project supports the City's broader goals and the Housing Element of the General Plan. Vice -Chair Ung acknowledged Mr. Godoy's concerns regarding parking congestion, noting the high density of apartments in the area. She suggested that the City consider implementing permitted street parking to ensure that vehicles parked in the neighborhood belong to residents. Director of Community Development Valenzuela responded that the City is exploring the option of preferential parking, although it has not yet been presented to the City Council. She added that a VMT analysis was conducted for the project, and it met the required standards. Commissioner Tang kindly asked staff to clarify what "VMT" stands for the benefit of viewers watching from home. Director Valenzuela explained that VMT stands for Vehicle Miles Traveled. There being no additional questions or public comments, Chair Escobar closed the hearing period and requested a motion and a second motion. ACTION: Vice -Chair Ung motioned to approve the project and PC Resolution 25-05 and seconded by Commissioner Tang. Vote resulted in: Ayes: Tang, Escobar and Escobar Noes: None Abstain: None Absent: Berry and Lopez Vote resulted in 3 Ayes, 0 Noes, and 0 Abstain, 2 Absent. Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 5of9 City Attorney Gutierrez commented that the Planning Commission's decision is a recommendation, and there will be another opportunity to address the project at an upcoming City Council meeting. Chair Escobar addressed Mr. Godoy, noting that a recommendation to consider traffic calming measures at the development site has been recorded. Commissioner Tang expressed his hope that Mr. Godoy will remain engaged throughout the process. Regardless of whether the project is approved, he encouraged Mr. Godoy to report any ongoing or new issues in the area, such as traffic or parking concerns. B. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 24.03— Mohsen Pournazari, on behalf of 360 Collision and Repair Center has submitted a Conditional Use Permit application, requesting to add automobile body services (painting and body work) to an existing, legal -nonconforming automative repair shop. The project would consist of the installation of a 303 square foot, prefabricated paint spray booth within the 1,988 square foot automative repair shop, rehabilitation of the existing building, and site improvements pertaining to off- street parking, landscaping, lighting, fencing, and solid waste and recyclable material collection. No additional square footage is proposed. Per Rosemead Municipal Code 17.72.030 F(2), a use lawfully existing without the approval of a discretionary permit that would be required by this Zoning Code shall be deemed conforming only to the extent of its previous lawful use (e.g., maintaining the same site area boundaries, hours of operation, etc.). Any change in use would require the approval of the appropriate discretionary permit in accordance with the provisions of the current Zoning Code. Accordingly, the applicant is proposing to intensify the existing use, which would require the approval of a Conditional Use Permit per Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.132. The subject site is located at 8735 Garvey Avenue in the Light Industrial (M-1) zone and consists of one parcel (APN: 5289-010-028) that totals 20,889 square feet. PC RESOLUTION 2506 - A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 24-03, FOR THE OPERATION OF AN AUTOMOBILE REPAIR AND BODY SHOP (PAINTING AND BODY WORD, LOCATED AT 8735 GARVEY AVENUE (APN: 5289-010-028), IN A LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL (M-1) ZONE. CEQA- Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines exempts projects consisting of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. Accordingly, CUP 24-03 is classified as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. STAFF RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that the Planning Commission ADOPT Resolution No. 25-06 with findings (Exhibit "A"). and APPROVE Conditional Use Permit 24-03, subject to the 43 conditions outlined in Attachment "A" attached hereto. Senior Planner Lao presented the staff report. Chair Escobar opened the Public Hearing. Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 6of9 Vice -Chair Ung directed her question to the applicant, asking for clarification on how the paint booth operates Commissioner Tang asked if the spray booth is fully enclosed. Senior Planner Lao confirmed that it is a fully enclosed, prefabricated spray booth that will be installed inside the building. Commissioner Tang then asked if the booth includes ventilation that filters out fumes. Senior Planner Lao confirmed this, noting that it is a requirement by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Vice -Chair Ung suggested that the applicant speak to provide further explanation about the spray booth. Chair Escobar invited the applicant to speak. The applicant, Mohsen Pournazari, along with his son Matt Pournazari, explained that the prefabricated spray booth comes pre -built, but requires assembly onsite. All filters and ventilation systems are included and must be replaced periodically depending on usage. Mr. Matt Poumazari asked the Commissioners what the additional question was. Commissioner Tang asked if the spray booth would be installed inside an enclosed building. Mr. Matt Pournazari confirmed that the spray booth would be placed inside an existing enclosed building and would not require any remodeling. Vice -Chair Ung asked whether they would be painting parts or whole vehicles. Mr. Matt Pournazari replied that they will be painting both parts and whole vehicles. He explained that sometimes they receive smaller jobs, while other times they work on complete cars, including restoration projects. He emphasized that all operations comply with SCAQMD codes and guidelines, noting that they obtained approval from SCAQMD before proceeding. He added that he shares the concern for safety and does not want to endanger his employees or nearby residents. Mr. Mohsen Pournazari shared his background, stating that he has been in the industry since 1983 and possesses extensive knowledge about the field. He explained that in 2010, a German company developed a water-based paint, eliminating the use of petroleum products. He described the spray booth's ventilation system, noting that fumes are directed upward and filtered, with the waste collected in a water reservoir that is periodically removed along with oil waste. Mr. Pournazari added that he has been operating at the current location for about one to one and a half years and has maintained the space well, receiving compliments from customers. He emphasized his commitment to safety and stated that he does not want to endanger anyone. He shared a personal story about having to sell his Temple City shop in 2019, which he had owned for approximately twenty-five years, due to his son Matt's battle with cancer. Mr. Pournazari expressed that his current efforts are focused on helping his son build a career and keeping him on a positive path. He expressed gratitude to Senior Planner Lao and City staff for their assistance with this project. Chair Escobar commented that the applicant has committed to rehabilitating the existing building, enhancing the site, and completing offsite improvements, demonstrating good faith on their part. Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 2, 2025 7of9 There being no additional questions or public comments, Chair Escobar closed the hearing period and requested a motion and a second motion. Commissioner Tang stated that he feels very comfortable with the staff report and the testimony provided by the applicant.

Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of lune 2, 2025 8of9 Director Valenzuela added that the public is very enthusiastic. While Da Vien Coffee had a successful grand opening in Cerritos, she believes the City's grand opening will be even more successful. Chair Escobar asked if this will be Da Vien's first location in Los Angeles. Director Valenzuela confirmed that it is the first location in Los Angeles County and in the San Gabriel Valley. 6.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead as follows: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission HEREBY DETERMINES that Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 are classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. Class 32, Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act exempts projects characterized as in -fill development if the project meets the following conditions: 1) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies. In addition, the project is generally consistent with all applicable zoning designations and regulations as small lot subdivisions are permitted in the R-3 zone with the approval of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review. The increase in density and modifications to development standards are achieved through concessions and waivers/reductions are permitted under California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). 2) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; The project site is approximately 0.368 acres and is located within the City of Rosemead's municipal boundaries. The project site is surrounded by urban uses and bounded by residential use to the north, west, south, and east of the project site. One block extending east along Hellman Avenue is generally characterized by multi -family residential developments, a beauty salon, offices, retail stores, a gasoline station, and a religious institution. 3) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; The project site, located within a fully urbanized residential neighborhood, is disturbed and has been developed with two residential units, a paved surface driveway, and other site improvements for many decades. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 4) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and; Traffic A Trip Generation and VMT Screening Assessment was reviewed and accepted by the City's contract traffic engineer. Small projects generating fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less -than -significant transportation impact. As depicted in the project trip generation table, the project trips associated with the project is 82 vehicle trips per day. The screening threshold for Small Projects is met and the project can be assumed to have a less -than - significant transportation impact and project specific VMT analysis is not required. Noise Both the construction and operation of the project will comply with all requirements of the Rosemead Noise Ordinance, per Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 8.36. Therefore, the project will not cause significant noise impacts. Air Quali Vehicle trips will be the primary source of emissions associated with the project's operations. Given the nature of the proposed use, net emissions from operation of the project will be well below South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds. During project construction, the development team will comply with all applicable SCAQMD and City standards regarding construction equipment and fugitive dust to minimize any air quality impacts. Water Quality Preparation and compliance with a Low Impact Development (LID) Plan will ensure that the project meets all applicable water quality and water discharge requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and has no significant water quality impacts. 5) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The urbanized project site is already served by Southern California Edison (electricity), the Southern California Gas Company (gas), and Golden State Water Company (water). Sanitary sewer service is provided by the City of Rosemead in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. Recycling and waste collection are provided by Republic Services, Inc. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (Temple Station) and Los Angeles County Fire Department (Station 4) provide emergency response services. The project site will continue to be adequately served by all agencies going forward. Accordingly, Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 are classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15332 of CEQA guidelines. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Design Review 24-02 in accordance with Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: FINDING 1: The plans indicate proper consideration for the relationship between the proposed building and site developments that exist or have been approved for the general neighborhood. FACT: The subject property is located within an established multi -family residential area along Hellman Avenue. The multi -story design of the small lot development is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood as the subject property is located directly adjacent to multi -story, multi -family residential developments to the east and west of the subject property. The applicant has provided an aesthetically complementary mid-century modern inspired design, which incorporates wood siding and paneling, cool earth toned colors, contrasting black doors and light fixtures, and can be found on existing residential developments in the general neighborhood. In addition, the use of decorative hardscape materials for driveways and new landscaping would create visual interest from the public right-of-way and improve the overall aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood. FINDING 2: The plan for the proposed structure and site development indicates the manner in which the proposed development and surrounding properties are protected against noise, vibrations, and other factors which may have an adverse effect on the environment, and the manner of screening mechanical equipment, trash, storage and loading areas. FACT: The project is located within an established multi -family residential area along Hellman Avenue. New split -face CMU block walls with vines will be constructed along the north, south, east, and west property lines. All mechanical equipment will be located on the rooftop and will be screened by a three-foot parapet, while the trash enclosure is located in the rear of the development and screened from the public view. All construction work will be required to comply with the timeframe and decibel levels indicated in the City of Rosemead's Noise Ordinance. Conditions of approval relating to the submittal of a construction management plan, noise, landscaping, and the screening of mechanical equipment will be imposed on the project to protect surrounding properties against potential adverse effects. FINDING 3: The proposed building or site development is not, in its exterior design and appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing buildings or site developments in the neighborhood as to cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. FACT: The proposed project would not depreciate the appearance and value of the local environment. Staff has worked closely with the applicant to achieve a residential design that would complement the neighborhood character. The applicant has proposed a mid-century modem inspired design, which incorporates some aesthetic characteristics found in other residential developments directly adjacent to the east and west of the project site and in the surrounding vicinity. To complement the architectural style of the adjacent properties and surrounding neighborhood, the project incorporates design elements that include composite wood siding, wood panels, recessed windows, modern balconies, and contrasting trims. The project also incorporates interlocking pavers and stamped concrete for the driveways and perimeter landscaping to improve the overall aesthetics of the property which would only appreciate the property in appearance and value. FINDING 4: The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where buildings are within or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part of the Civic Center or in public or educational use, or are within or immediately adjacent to land included within any precise plan which indicates building shape, size, or style. FACT: The subject property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan, or land reserved for public or educational use. The applicant has proposed an aesthetically pleasing design with complementary architectural features and design elements that is in harmony with the surrounding residential neighborhood. The project aligns with development within the surrounding multi -residential neighborhood. FINDING 5: The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. FACT: The proposed development with the approval of California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) concessions and waivers/reductions would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. FINDING 6: The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries, and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effect of the development from the view of public streets. FACT: The design and construction of this project would preserve and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic as access would continue on Hellman Avenue. In addition, a three -car parking garage is provided on each of the ten small lots and all proposed luminaries would comply with Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.88. Furthermore, the incorporation of design elements such as recessed windows, wood siding, and wood panels in combination with decorative hardscape on the proposed driveway and new landscaping will significantly improve the visual effect of the site from the view of the public street. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Tentative Tract Map 84327 in accordance with Chapter 16.04 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: FINDING 1: That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. FACT: Tentative Tract Map 84327 will create ten small lots. The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designations and regulations as small lot subdivisions are permitted in the R-3 zone with the approval of a Tract Map and Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law. There is no applicable specific plan. FINDING 2: That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. FACT: Tentative Tract Map 84327 will create ten small lots. The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. Per Rosemead General Plan, Table 2-5 (General Pian and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table), the project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designations and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designations as the applicant is proposing an aesthetically pleasing small lot development that will create visual interest from the public right-of-way with the use of architectural design elements, decorative hardscape, and new landscaping. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law. There is no applicable specific plan. FINDING 3: That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. FACT: The R-3 zone is intended to provide opportunities for well-designed multi- family housing and small lot developments. The minimum lot area for a small lot subdivision is 10,000 square feet (excluding existing legal nonconforming lots). The subject site exceeds the lot minimum and consists of two parcels totaling approximately 16,018 square feet. The proposed development with the approval of California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) concessions and waivers/reductions would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code and is located in an established multi -family residential neighborhood. In addition, conditions of approval relating to the submittal of a reciprocal access and/or maintenance easement, construction management plan, noise, landscaping, and the screening of mechanical equipment will be imposed to ensure the site is physically suitable for a small lot subdivision. FINDING 4: That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. FACT: The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is High Density Residential and the project site is zoned R-3. The subject site allows for a total of ten dwelling units, however, the applicant has requested for a density bonus, under Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law) which permits density bonuses up to 50% for a total of 15, four-story dwelling units, two of which would be deed -restricted affordable units for very low-income households. In addition, concessions and waivers/reductions would ensure that the development is able to achieve the density granted by State Density Bonus Law. The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law and the site is physically suitable for the proposed density. FINDING 5: That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. FACT: The project site, located within a fully urbanized residential neighborhood, is disturbed and has been completely developed with two residential units, a paved surface driveway, and other site improvements for many decades. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Furthermore, the General Plan does not identify any biological resources within the City. There are no species identified as endangered, candidate, sensitive, or special status species within the limits of either the site or in the immediate area. Consequently, no significant impact would occur to any sensitive species designated by the resources agencies as a result of project implementation. FINDING 6: That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. FACT: The proposed small lot subdivision is located within an established multi- family residential neighborhood. The project has been reviewed by all applicable City Departments, as well as outside agencies that include the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas Company and Los Angeles Sanitation Districts to determine if the proposed development will be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. With implementation of conditions of approval related to construction operations, noise, drainage, fire safety, etc., the proposed development is not anticipated to cause public health problems. FINDING 7: That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. FACT: The Public Works Department has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the adjacent right-of-way and there are no easements that would conflict with the proposed project. Vehicular access to the project site will be provided from Hellman Avenue and will be privately maintained. Based on this review, it is determined that the design and construction of the project would preserve public safety and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, the City Engineer has deemed the trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) screening analysis acceptable and has also incorporated conditions of approval to ensure that any potential traffic related issues are mitigated. SECTION 4. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that approving Density Bonus Application 25-01 would comply with Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law). State Government Code Section 65915(d)(1) requires that the requested concessions be granted unless one of the following findings can be made: (A) The concession or incentive is not required in order to provide for affordable housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units to be set as specified in subdivision (c). (B) The concession or incentive would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 65589.5, upon public health and safety or the physical environment or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the development unaffordable to low- and moderate -income households. (C)The concession or incentive would be contrary to state or federal law. None of the above findings can be made. SECTION 5. The Planning Commission HEREBY RECOMMENDS CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL of Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density Bonus Application 25-01 for the ten small lot subdivision project with a density bonus pursuant to California Government Code §65915 (State Density Bonus Law), which permits density bonuses up to 50% for a total of 15, four-story dwelling units, two of which would be deed -restricted affordable units for very low-income households, and is subject to the conditions of approval.

CERTIFICATE OF APPLICANT: '7 certify that all statements in this application and attachments are true and correct and complete to the best of my knowledge. " Applicant Signature: Date: January 25, 2024 Density Bonus Application Project Description & Statement of Findings for Concessions and Waiver or Reduction of Development Standards 7741-7745 Hellman Avenue, Rosemead, CA. 91770 April 30, 2025 Dear City Council, This letter is submitted on behalf of property owner Mr. Chaplon Mu, managing principal of 7741 Hellman LLC, in support of the Density Bonus Application for the above -referenced property. This letter provides a project description and details Scales Lab Architects' requested concessions for this project, and how each concession will increase this project's viability. Project Summary: General Plan/Zoning Designation: R-3 (Medium Multiple Residential) Proposed Project: Proposed subdivision under Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.12.030.2.g (Small Lot Subdivision) to allow the creation of 10 lots. Density Bonus Request By applying California Government Code Section 65915 (State Density Bonus Law) and providing affordable housing, the base density is 10 units. In conformity with Municipal Code section 17.84.030 and State Density Bonus Law, the Applicant is proposing to provide two (2) very low-income units (15%) to qualify for a 50% density bonus (5 units). The resulting development mix will consist of single-family dwelling and duplexes totaling 15 units. All designated very low-income units will be subject to a recorded affordability restriction per City and State Density Bonus Law. As part of the Density Bonus Application, the application also requests three (3) concessions in order to increase this development's viability. The requested concessions are listed below: Requested Concession #1 The Applicant requests a reduction of the side yard setback by the garages, on both the East and West sides, to five feet instead of the standard 10 feet. This will increase the garage backup width to a comfortable and more functional 26 feet (shared common driveway) to enhance vehicular circulation for residents and public service vehicles. In addition, this concession will differentiate building separation and massing on both the side yards and driveway to allow more solar access and create privacy. This modulation will also increase light and shade which will permeate through the indoor and outdoor spaces. Requested Concession #2 The applicant is requesting a building height modification of 4 stories (40 feet) in lieu of 3 stories (35 feet). The resulting overall height increase of 5 ft. The proposed height increase is justified based on efficient land use, housing demand, economic benefits, sustainability, and urban regeneration. This modification supports the project's goals and benefits the community by providing needed housing. Requested Concession #3 The applicant is requesting modification of standard parking spaces to a combination of standard and compact spaces. The provided parking spaces shall consist of 1 standard space (10'x20') and 2 compact spaces (8'x16') instead of 3 standard parking spaces (10'x20') per lot. The proposed modification is justified based on efficient space utilization, increased parking availability, cost- effectiveness, encouragement of smaller vehicles, and flexibility for alternate uses. This configuration supports the project's goals and benefits the community. All of the listed incentives provide good design elements and water conservation methods. The applicant respectfully requests that the City Council approve this Density Bonus Application with the three (3) requested concessions. These concessions will have no major impact on the affordability of this project. Instead, they will greatly enhance the development by providing comfortable and functional spaces for future occupants. Waiver/Reduction of Development Standards #1: Reduction of Open Space Requirements The requirement for open space in the proposed development will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the project. Given the constraints of the site and the density requirements specified in Gov. Code §65915(e)(1), adhering to the open space standards would significantly limit the buildable area, thereby making it impossible to achieve the desired density and the concessions or incentives permitted under this section. The reduction of open space requirements is essential to ensure that the development can proceed without compromising the project's feasibility. Sincerely, 4" Roland Lo, AIA Principal, Scales Lab Architects 2 RECORDING REQUESTED BY AND WHEN RECORDED, MAIL City of Rosemead 8838 East Valley Boulevard Rosemead, California 91770 Attention: Community Development Department/Planning Division Space above for Recorder's Use This Agreement is recorded at the request and for the benefit of the City of Rosemead and is exempt from recording fee pursuant to Government Code Section 27383 AFFORDABLE HOUSING AGREEMENT Dated as of 20 By and Between THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, a California general law city ("City"), =4 7745 HELLMAN LLC ("Covenantor") The land referred to in this Affordable Housing Agreement is situated in the City of Rosemead, County of Los Angeles, State of California on a parcel located at 7715-7745 Hellman Avenue, more particularly described in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated by reference.

Gladstone St Azusa, CA 91702 Re: Trip Generation Memo and VMT Screening Assessment 15-Unit Multi-family Residence 7741-7745 Hellman Ave, Rosemead Dear Chaplon, Per your request, we have completed a trip generation memorandum for the proposed residential development. This letter presents our findings and recommendations. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT The site development of APNs #5286-036-016, 017 is located at 7741-7745 Hellman Avenue in the City of Rosemead. The site currently consists of two single- family homes that will be demolished by the project. The proposed development includes constructing four multifamily residential buildings with 15 dwelling units. Each building includes ground-floor parking and three levels of multifamily residence. Proposed site plan is shown in Exhibit 1. TRIP GENERATION Passenger vehicle trips were estimated using the rates and methodologies outlined in “Trip Generation, 11th Edition”, published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The applicable trip generation rates are shown in Table 1.

Los Angeles County Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines dated July 2020 has provided the screening criteria to eliminate the requirement for a full VMT analysis. Trip Generation Memo and VMT Screening Assessment Proposed 15-Unit Multi-family Residence September 6, 2024 7741-7745 Hellman Ave, Rosemead Page 3 of 3 K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc. 1442 Irvine Blvd, Suite 210, Tustin, CA 92780 T.714-832-2116 Email: kay@k2traffic.com Non-Retail Project Trip Generation Screening Criteria Small projects generating fewer than 110 vehicle trips per day generally may be assumed to cause a less-than-significant transportation impact. As shown in the paragraphs above, project trip generation is expected to be less than 110 daily trips. The screening threshold for Small Projects is MET. Proximity to Transit Based Screening Criteria If a project is located within a one-half mile radius of a major transit stop or an existing stop along a high-quality transit corridor may be presumed to have a less than significant impact absent substantial evidence to the contrary. As shown in Exhibit 2, the project site is not located in the High Quality Transit Area (HQTA) according to Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) screening tools. This screening criterion is NOT MET. Residential Land Use Based Screening Criteria If 100% of the residential units, excluding manager’s units, are set aside for lower income households, further VMT analysis is not required and a less than significant determination can be made. This screening criterion is NOT MET. VMT Screening Summary The subject residential development meets the screening criteria for “small project” set forth by the Los Angeles County Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines. The project can be assumed to have a less-than-significant transportation impact and project specific VMT analysis is NOT required. Regards, K2 Traffic Engineering, Inc. Jende Kay Hsu, T.E.
