dedication and coordination of Ms. Mandy Wong, the program has grown into an
annual community tradition. She added that Ms. Wong has been instrumental in
coordinating with vendors and local school districts, who provide names of children

Vietnamese, and Spanish. Families unable to attend may contact Ms. Wong to make
alternate arrangements. If backpacks remain unclaimed, they are distributed on

in the fight against crime by supporting and participating in the Neighborhood Watch
and Community Area Watch programs. These efforts are a vital part of keeping our
City safe. She commended Ms. Wong for her leadership in emergency preparedness.
With so many tragedies we see daily such as flooding and other disasters, it is critical
for residents to be prepared with essentials like medications, flashlights, and
emergency contact information. Ms. Wong continually reminds us of the importance
of being ready, and I encourage everyone to follow her example and involve your
neighbors as well. Preparation is key, because we never know when an emergency
may occur.
B. Proclamation Declaring the Month of July 2025 as "Parks Make Life Better Month"
in the City of Rosemead
Director of Parks and Recreation Boecking announced that July is "Parks Make Life
Better" Month, highlighting the Parks and Recreation Department's role in making
Rosemead a great place to live, work, and play. The Department provides quality
programs, services, special events, and safe parks and facilities for community use,
working in close collaboration with the Public Works Department. The proclamation
emphasized that these efforts are only possible through the collective support of the
City Council, city staff, volunteers, and residents. Parks not only provide open space
and recreation opportunities but also represent the community spirit and enrichment
that takes place daily through city programs and events.
Mr. Boecking acknowledged the Parks and Recreation team for their dedication and
service: Recreation Supervisors: Tam Chu, Jacqueline Guerrero, and Roman
Rodriguez. Recreation Coordinators: Bernadette Galindo, Serena Guerrero, and
Jeanette Vicario.
Mayor Clark expressed passion for parks as a way to encourage children to spend

appreciation for the City's efforts to provide parks and activities that gave kids

Recreation Department, noting personal experience beginning as a recreation
participant, later serving as a recreation leader and interim recreation supervisor in
the City. The skills and opportunities gained through involvement in Parks and
Recreation were identified as a key reason for her current service on the dais. She
emphasized the importance of programs and activities that encourage youth to be
active and engaged, highlighting the value of providing alternatives to excessive
screen time.
Council Member Dang added remarks in support of the proclamation recognizing
"Parks Make Life Better" Month. He noted the importance of parks in providing
green space, opportunities to decompress, and a place of escape from daily routines.

maintaining and protecting these areas for the community. Mr. Dang commended

HOUSEHOLDS. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED
AT 7741-7745 HELLMAN AVE (APN: 5286-036-016), IN THE
MEDIUM MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL (R-3) ZONE
3. Approve the Density Bonus Application with the three requested concessions and
one waiver/reduction and direct City staff to execute and record the Affordable
Housing Agreement; and
4. Determine that Design Review 24-02, Tentative Tract Map 84327, and Density
Bonus Application 25-01 are exempt pursuant to Class 32, Section 15332 of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines.
Associate Planner Lao presented a report regarding entitlement applications
submitted by Mr. Chaplain Mu for the development of a 10-lot small subdivision.
The project includes a density bonus application pursuant to State Density Bonus
Law, permitting up to a 50% increase in density for a total of 15 dwelling units. Two
of these units will be deed -restricted affordable housing for very low-income
households. As part of the density bonus application, the applicant is requesting three
concessions and one waiver/reduction.
Project details include: Ten small lots developed with four-story structures, each with
a three -car garage at ground level. Five lots developed as vertically stacked duplexes;
five lots developed as single-family dwellings. Six floor plan variations ranging from
631 sq. ft. to 1,446 sq. ft. Design inspired by mid-century modern architecture,
incorporating recessed windows, composite wood siding, and large glass balconies.
Site improvements include landscaping, lighting, fencing, perimeter walls, and a rear
trash enclosure.
Staff noted receipt of a public comment from the California Housing Defense Fund
in support of the project, recognizing the inclusion of two very low-income affordable
units as a positive step toward addressing housing needs. Based on the analysis
contained in the staff report, it is recommended that the City Council conduct a public
hearing and receive public testimony; adopt City Council Resolution No. 2025-29;
approve the density bonus application, including three concessions and one
waiver/reduction, and direct staff to execute and record the Affordable Housing
Agreement; and determine that the project is categorically exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Class 32, Section 15332.
Mayor Clark opened the public hearing for comment. There being no comments,
closed the public hearing.
Council Member Dang expressed appreciation to the ownership and design team for
their work on this challenging infill project. He noted the difficulty of designing an
infill project on a neighborhood site. The achievement of a modern architectural style,
including design features such as rounded corners, which added complexity and cost
but resulted in a sleek, contemporary appearance. He expressed support for the small
lot subdivision concept, noting that it promotes homeownership rather than rental

housing, aligning with his longstanding advocacy for small lot development. Lastly,
recognized that small lot subdivisions incur higher costs than traditional single -unit
construction due to requirements such as seismic gaps and overlapping trades, yet the
owner and design team successfully delivered a quality project for the community.
Mayor Pro Tern Armenta expressed appreciation to the project designers and team
for including two affordable housing units in the proposed development. She
referenced a previous development near the mayor's residence in which a request for
even one affordable unit was denied, noting that many state -level affordable housing
bills offer incentives but do not require developers to include affordable units.
Mrs. Armenta emphasized the importance of providing opportunities for Rosemead
residents who grew up in the City and wish to return but may not be able to afford
market -rate housing. The inclusion of these two affordable units was recognized as a
positive step toward increasing attainable housing and as an example that may
encourage additional projects to incorporate affordable housing in the future.
Mayor Clark stated she reviewed the Planning Commission minutes and raised a
question regarding Vice Chair Ung's concerns about the shared stairwells in the
stacked -unit design. Vice Chair Ung noted that while the design assumes each unit
would be occupied by a single family, leaving doors between units open could
compromise the fire -rated walls. Mrs. Clark asked whether it would be possible to
require or recommend self -closing doors to enhance fire safety, noting that closed
doors can help prevent the spread of fire.
Council Member Dang explained that doors at stairwells are required by the building
and fire codes to have self -closing mechanisms at the top hinge, ensuring they remain
closed. These safety measures are already mandated and enforced by the applicable
agencies.
Mayor Clark referenced the Planning Commission minutes noting a resident's
concern regarding traffic and parking congestion in a high -density apartment area. In
addition, Vice Chair Ung acknowledged the resident, Mr. Godoy's, concerns and
suggested the City consider implementing permitted street parking to ensure vehicles
in the neighborhood belong to residents. Mrs. Clark also expressed support for the
idea and recommended that staff evaluate the situation to determine if parking
restrictions are necessary, noting that this concept has been discussed previously.
City Manager Kim stated that the topic of permitted parking had been discussed at
previous Council meetings but was placed on hold. The discussion will resume when
a full City Council is present, as it will affect city-wide.
ACTION: Move by Council Member Dang, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Armenta
to approved staff recommendations:
1. Conduct a public hearing and receive public testimony;
2. Adopt City Council Resolution No. 2025-29,
