A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD GRANTING
APPROVAL OF ZONE VARIANCE 82-103, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3154 MUSCATEL
AVENUE, ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES HEREBY RESOLVE.AS
3. That the proposed subdivision exceeds both minimum code and policy
criteria for building lot area requirement and that, in this case, an
approval of a variance for lot width (street frontage) is in keeping
with such criteria.
4. That the granting of a variance will allow for the development of two
new single-family homes and will not create an adverse effect on
surrounding properties because of the limited scope of the proposal;
however, the Commission is committed to reviewing such developments
for potential cumulative effects.
5. That the variance was subject to conditions of approval (reference
Parcel Map 15448), assuring that the zoning adjustment was not the
granting of a special privilege inconsistent with the limitations
placed upon other properties within the vicinity and zone.

condition that the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance would
deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties
in the vicinity.
7. That the granting of such variance will not adversely effect the
comprehensive General Plan.
8. Based on an initial study, a Negative Declaration has been prepared
for this project in accordance with the California Environmental
Quality Act and Rosemead Resolution 79-77, (the City's local
environmental guidelines).
