Principal Planner Bermejo presented staff report.
Chairman Alarcon questioned staff if they had a definition for fair share.
2
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the fair share is calculated by the total amount of trips
generated from a project that contributes to a traffic impact. She also stated in this case, the hotel
expansion consists of 1.4 percent of the total traffic impact and that the remaining 98.6 percent is
coming from the regional growth in the area.
Chairman Alarcon asked the Commissioners if they had any questions for staff.
Commissioner Ruiz stated his concern regarding the downhill curve on Montebello Boulevard and
how he believes that the addition of 52 rooms and expanded lobby would bring in additional traffic
into that particular area. He also stated there will be a left and right turn into that southern
driveway and he feels it will be dangerous. He also stated he feels4is',should be brought to the
attention of the traffic commission for their recommendation .',and an analysis and total
review should be done to see what the striping will look like, and thel:type of signage that will be
used before we approve this item.
Joanne Itagaki, Traffic Consultant replied that the Traffc.Commission generally looks into general
request from residents, stop sign request, and etc: hii also stated that items to-af have to do with
development review go directly the Planning Commission. She:'blso stated that:Commissioner
Ruiz does have some valid concerns and she believes thered already no parking allowed on this
street and when the design for that south access `point'comes through the Planning and
Engineering staff, we can look at the need for some additional.,signage and depending on where
exactly that location access point may bo,it may noteffect visibility,, She also stated that she does
not recommend taking it to the Traffic Commission,"-as by.,working, With the Planning staff we can
address the Planning Commission, concerns directly
Vice-Chairwoman Eng asked staff what is the minimum required parking for the room addition that
is being proposed andlhe added ballroom square,footage on the side. She also asked, what the
actual number of room.additions.tftat-are: permitted` to add.
Principal- Planner- Bermejo"replied the Rosemead Municipal Code for hotels requires that the
hotel,provide one parking'space per room that they have on site. She also stated the Rosemead
Munici _ Code is does iiotJequir(~6dditional parking for ballroom area. She also said with respect
to the numbers in the reporf",,tonight;=staff is aware of some number discrepancies and we've
brought these number discrepancies to the attention of the applicant as well. She said in 2008
when the staff report was prepared, there was a clerical error made by staff. The conditions of
approval permitted'`°54 hotel` rooms and a larger lobby expansion. She stated the actual
environmental docu)rnent.quoted 52 hotel rooms. She stated this discrepancy should be addressed
tonight.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned staff if the CEQA documents provided for 52 rooms.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied yes.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned staff if the CEQA document or the conditions of approval control
the size of the hotel expansion.
3
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the conditions of approval and adopted resolution control the
size of the expansion. She also stated but given this is a modification of that application and there
were discrepancies in those approvals, we can address those discrepancies and now is the time
we can clean it up.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned staff what is the minimum required parking for the expansion.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the expansion of the hotel for Phase was approved with 204
spaces. She also stated that the 204 spaces was for 54 additional rooms and that if we condition it
back to 52 rooms then they will need 202 parking spaces.
Commissioner Hunter questioned staff if one parking space is required per hotel room and they are
putting in 204 or 202 parking spaces, then don't they already meet, the requirement.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied yes, the hotel exceeds the requirement:
Principal Planner Bermejo stated that because the'project was approved in the'pastand there is a
discrepancy of numbers of what the environmental, looked at and what the City actually approved,
and because we are bringing the project back to thePlanning,Commission tonight, the Planning
Commission could clean this up to be consistent.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned Chairman Alarcon if we want,to clean up this issue right now.
Greg Murphy, City Attorney,stated that he recommends that'we. take in all the testimony tonight
and we can clean up at,the end„after public' comment is finished. He also stated that staff has
recommended additional conditions to'.the resolution you will be adopting tonight and we can read
those into the record,if the entire Commission decides to go that way.
Vice-Chairwoman.Eng questionedstaff if thete'arekany plans to address the signal at the north end
entrance now or wait until the year 2020.
Principal.Planner Bermejo;replied th6'City is on notice that a signal is warranted in the year 2020,
but they would not automatically install=a traffic signal in 2020. is the City would first re-analyze the
situation and if it is warranted the monies that were deposited by the applicant would be put toward
the improvement. She als16 stated the remaining funds would come from a possible future
development impact fee"-and any other City funding that typically covers the regional
growth impacts on city streets.
Commissioner Ruiz stated on page 487 of the CD disk, the traffic study did not consider the
Montebello Hills specific plan project in Montebello, which consists of 1,200 residential units. He
questioned staff on why it wasn't considered, this is 1,200 homes getting built, and it will be a lot of
traffic. He also asked if the 1,200 homes are still going to be built.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied she does not know the status of the homes being built. She also
mentioned that the revised focus traffic study took the existing traffic counts that were taken in
2008 and they applied them to a revised traffic distribution analysis-
4
Commissioner Ruiz questioned staff if we took those numbers and tweaked them and do not
consider the number of developments that will be bringing in more traffic within that area, what will
happen.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the traffic consultant who prepared the traffic analysis is
here tonight and could address the question.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng stated for clarification on the Resolution 10-18 on the third recital, the date
states November 3, 2010, should it be 2009.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied yes it should be 2009.
Chairman Alarcon opened the Public Hearing and invited pro 1e cti'applicant to podium.
Chairman Alarcon asked the applicant if there were any questions on comments stated so far and
asked if he can answer any questions pertaining to the traffic report.
Mike Thomas, General Manager of the Double Tree, Hotel, replied that he does fiot have any
questions on any comments and that he has not seen'.the traffic report and he handles just the
operations of the hotel.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned the applicanfif-he -knew the'date of when Phase 1 and Phase 2
will be completed or the opening day.
Mike Thomas, General Manager replied it deorids on when it gets approved and it is a year from
approval date for the firstphase andthen they will move to the second phase after that. He also
stated we were lookingat the year 2012 and if it gets;approved this year to complete Phase 1 by
t
the beginning of 2012:";'.'
Chairman Alarconcalled the Traffic Consultant to`the podium if present.
Brian~Crawford from Kurtzman Associates addressed Commissioner Ruiz's previous question on
why the-,traffic study did not consider'the project of 1,200 homes being built in the Montebello Hills
specific plan in,Montebello. He`,stated that this focus traffic analysis study that was done this past
January of 2010+and was actually a supplemental analysis to the original traffic impact analysis
which analyzed everything; that was conducted and approved in April of 2008. He also stated the
one point of this analysis;s"to redistribute the traffic at two access points with different geometric
points at these access points to see if traffic signal lights are warranted at these two access points.
He also stated that all the information that was used was from the original document which was
approved and all the information was used and the only thing that was changed was the
distribution of traffic. He also stated the development project was not part of the assessment in the
original report and was not updated in this supplement.
Commissioner Ruiz stated this is one of his concerns that this was done in 2008 and all that was
done was re-tweaking the numbers and they did not consider this particular development and he
feels it should be included in this particular report.
5
Commissioner Hunter questioned the applicant on the applicant's fair share of 1.4% which equals
to $5,712.00, as to whether this has to be paid now or in 20 years.
Chairman Alarcon stated lets direct that question to staff.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied the condition is recommending that payment be received prior of
issuance of the building permits for Phase I.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned Mr. Crawford why the distribution of traffic was not looked at
when the original report was done in 2008.
Brian Crawford stated that when the initial report for the access pdi6ts was done, the northern
intersection was suppose to be a full access intersection, it currentli'restricts east west left turn
movements out of the body sight, and the mall, and they were originally going to turn into a
full access intersections and that would warrant a signal:; He also stated the reason it was not
initially done was because they were not told they needed to show alternatives and were told to
look for full access only.
Commissioner Ruiz questioned Mr. Crawford if the sbuttiern access had been looked at to see if it
was a downward slope or curve and the,speed of that sfree"L"
Brian Crawford replied that the southerri'access.;did.not have.a site distance analysis conducted
but it is recommended with any project 'access point;' He also said that one with a curve like
that would have a site distance analysis.
Commissioner Ruiz confirmed that Mr:.Crawford agrees that a site distance analysis should be
done at the southern access.
Brian Crawford replied yes, helloes rec`ommen'd irand with a curve like that it should be done.
Chairman Alarcon askeolf there was anyone wishing to speak in favor of this project.
None
Chairman Alarcon asked if there was anyone against this project.
None
Chairman Alarcon closed the Public Hearing
Vice-Chairwoman Eng stated that she agrees with staff and we should take this opportunity to
clean up some of the inconsistencies that have come up. She also stated with staff's help maybe
we can do this now so the applicant may move forward with the project.
Principal Planner Bermejo stated that there are two conditions of approval that staff has drafted for
recommendation for the Planning Commission to consider. Condition of Approval 13 is that Phase
1 expansion shall consist of not more of than the construction of a four story building for 52 guest
rooms and a hotel lobby totaling 52,620 square feet. Phase 11 expansions shall consist of not
6
more than the construction of a one story 12,440 square feet ballroom that will seat 500 guests and
a four story parking structure. She also stated that Condition of Approval 14 will be that, Phase 1
shall provide an improved surface parking lot providing a minimum of 204 spaces and Phase II
expansion shall provide a minimum of 338 parking spaces and a combination of a surface parking
lot in a four story parking structure.
Commissioner Herrera questioned staff if it was 204 or 202 parking spaces.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the project is being broken into two Phases, and Phase I is
the expansion of the rooms and lobby, so they have to comply with municipal code and they would
have to have 204 parking spaces for Phase 1.
Commissioner Herrera questioned staff if that is based on 52 additional rooms.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that the municipal code,would allow us to`lower it to 202.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng questioned staff if that would'mean the condition of approvall "Would be 52
rooms.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied Phase,l expansion shall'provide an improved parking lot with a
minimum of 202 parking spaces and':Pnase, II expansion `shall provide a minimum of 338
parking spaces and a combination of a surface.parking lot and.64our story parking structure and
this is Condition of Approval Number 14',.She alk,stated Condition of Approval Number 13 is
Phase I expansion shall consist of not more'than a,constructicn of.a four story building for 52 guest
rooms and a hotel lobby,°totaling452,820 square feet and Phase II expansion will consist of not
more than a construction'of one story 12,440\sq6are feet ballroom that will seat 500 guest and
a four story parking structure. r
Vice-Chairwoman,Eng askedlstaff:to clarify how many parking spaces will be needed.
Principal- Planner Berniejo.,and City;Attorney Murphy clarified that the total sum of.parking spaces
will be 338 after all the workhas been. completed, and it will not be 338 plus 202.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng confirmed that is after the expansion has been completed.
Principal Planner'replied th,atIs correct.
Chairman Alarcon questioned staff if the Conditional Use Permit is passed as is would the parking
issues be automatically addressed and do we have this specifically spelled out.
Principal Planner Bermejo replied that this was originally going to be this traffic mitigation issue and
this discrepancy of numbers was brought to our attention and we should clean this up.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng stated she agrees with Commissioner Ruiz's concerns to have the site
study distance analysis done because of the downhill slope and requested clarification from staff
on what the cost and time line will be to have this done, if it is feasible.
Joanne Itagaki, Traffic Consultant, stated that when the developer brings in their plans for
engineering review, we can make it a requirement of theirs to do the site distance review and
staff would review it and make sure that appropriate measures are taken to make sure we do the
appropriate site distance.
Commissioner Ruiz questioned staff if we could make that a condition of approval, so that it will be
on record and that it should be recommended by and approved by the Traffic Commission.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng stated that she was not sure if we should direct this to the Traffic
Commission but maybe it should be suggested to City Council that it should be directed to the
Traffic Commission.
Principal Planner Bermejo stated in the past 5 years that,-she-'K as been here, the Planning
Commission has done it on one occasion for a matter. She also stated,'typically when there is a
development project and if it has an associated traffic analysis it has been-solely reviewed by the
Planning Commission. She also stated in instances when a project has already been approved
and a citizen sees an issue with something that has already occurred after the:project has been
installed, such as a red curb striping, them ;those issues are directed to the Traffic
Commission. She also stated that she is not aware of anything in the municipal code that prohibits
having the Traffic Commission look at something. She also stated that is something we can look
into if the Planning Commission would like:;,.
Commissioner Ruiz stated that we can eliminate'the review bythe, Traffic Commission but he
would still like site distance analysis report ,included in-the conditionsof approval and to go forward
to the City's Traffic Engineer.,
Principal Planner Bermejo stated that right now we•have Condition of Approval Number 3 and it
read it to the Planning. Commission. She also stated\we can add a sentence which states, "this
includes completing a site::djsfance analysis :and making the intersection at Montebello
Boulevard .at project south access a full access intersection.
Vice-Chairwoman Eng "stated that', because the condition calls that they are to make the
improvement maybe we can clarify to include that the improvements shall also address concerns
from the site distance analysis.'
Commissioner Ruiz°stated'that the downward slope is his concern and the Planning Commission
agreed it was important. ,
City Attorney, Greg Murphy stated that he would like to propose that the second sentence of
Condition of Approval Number 3 to read as follows, "This includes completing a site distance
analysis and submitting improvement plans consistent with the analysis for making the intersection
at Montebello Boulevard a project stop access a full access intersection."
Vice-Chairwoman Eng made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Ruiz, to ADOPT
Resolution No. 10.18 findings and subject to twelve (12) conditions outlined in, considering
