THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
Section 1. The Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead does hereby
find and determine that an application was filed by Caaifornia Federal Savings and
Loan Association, application, and attachments dated February 18, 1981, to request zone
variances to Section 9122.9 A, D, and E, Parking Requirements and specifically des-
cribed within said application; and a project review under Design Review provisions,
for property located at:
1515 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead, California;

Council Chambers of Rosemead City Hall, 8838 Valley Boulevard, Rosemead, California and
that notice of the time, date, place, and purpose of the aforesaid hearing was duly
given; and that a hearing was duly held at the aforementioned time and place.
Section 2. The Planning Commission further finds that facts do exist as re-
quired by Section 9171., et. seq., of the Rosemead Zoning Code, justifying the granting
of a zone variance, and supporting the design concept which includes a co-generating
facility.
Section 3. The Planning Commission further finds:
1. That the granting of the application for variances would not constitute
the granting of a special privlege inconsistent with the limitations
upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property
is situated.
2. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental
to the public health or welfare, or injurious to the property or im-
provements in such zone or vicinity in which the property is located.
3. There are special circumstances applicable to the subject property in-
cluding size, shape, topography, location or surroundings which would
justify a variance from the strict application of the zoning ordinance.
4. That the granting of such application will not adversely effect the
comprehensive General Plan.
Section 4. Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Commission
hereby grants the zone variance with respect to the property described in Section 1,
subject to the following conditions:
1. That after Phase No. I is constructed and employee trip origins are known,
that car pooling policies and/or programs be adopted.
2. That a letter verifying the approximate anticipated employee numbers,
(by shift), for Phase I and II be submitted to the Planning Department.
3. That prior to application for building permits of Phase No. IT con-
struction, a random survey be conducted over a 3-month period to estab-
lish the small/large car ratio of Cal Fed parking facility users, and
that certification of the approximate (within 5%) 55% ratio be verified
by the Director of Planning.
4. Small car parking spaces shall be a minimum of 8 feet by 14 feet.
Section 5. Based on a design review of the project concept plans dated
February 26, 1981, the Planning Commission hereby approves the design concept for
Phase No. I and II.
Section 6. This action shall become final and effective ten (10) days
after this decision by the Planning Commission unless within such time, a written
appeal is filed with the City Clerk for consideration by the City Council, as provided
in the Zoning Ordinance.
