Administrative Analysis
Site Plan
As illustrated in "Exhibit C," the applicant is proposing to renovate the existing 1,116
square foot building at the north end of the property. This building was used as a retail
store for the previous gasoline station on the site. The applicant proposes to remodel
the exterior of the building and reoccupy the building with a commercial uses consistent
with the permitted uses in the C -3 Zone. The applicant has not determined who would
be the tenant in the building. The renovation of the property also includes the removal
of the canopy over the fuel dispenser island, the redesign of the parking lot to provide
11 parking spaces, the closure of one driveway on Valley Boulevard, and the creation of
new landscape areas at the southwest corner of the property at the intersection of
Valley and Temple City Boulevards.
The applicant is also proposing to install a new trash enclosure with a decorative trellis
top along the southeast corner of the lot. The trash enclosure has been designed to
compliment the building architecture. Staff has added conditions of approval requiring
that trash enclosure doors be self - closing and self - latching, and that the trash area be
routinely maintained free of trash and debris.
Floor Plan
Since the applicant has not yet determined who the tenant will be for the remodeled
building, the exact interior floor plans has not yet been developed. At the request of
Planning Division Staff, the applicant submitted a floor plan that shows how a retail
establishment might typically be organized with a space for a cashier, restroom, and
retail shelving.
Elevations
The applicant is proposing to modernize the fagade of the existing commercial building.
The purpose of the proposed improvement is to update the look of the building, as well
as provide much needed maintenance to the entire property. The building is
constructed of concrete block with brick trim on the lower third of the building around the
Planning Commission Meeting
October 4, 2010
Page 4 of 16
front and two sides of the building. The exposbd concrete block will be covered in
stucco and the brick will be patched and painted! The upper two thirds of the front and
two sides are covered in metal siding and thesel surfaces will be patched and painted
with a textured paint. A new storefront windows system will be installed on the front side
of the building facing the parking lot. According to the colored renderings, which will be
available to view at the Planning Commission meeting, the specific colors and materials
proposed for the commercial building utilize a tan and muted yellow palette. The stucco
and painted metal siding areas will be a yellowish tan color (ICI Paint - Indian Corn).
The brick trim will be a contrasting tan color (ICI Paint = Onionskin Tan). The roof trim
will be painted with a light earth tone color (ICI Paint — Indian Legend).
Parking and Circulation
Access to the site would be via existing driveways on Valley Boulevard and Temple City
Boulevard. The existing driveway along Valley Boulevard is 26.35' wide and the
existing driveway along Temple City Boulevard `is 28.19' wide. A second 28.36' wide
driveway on Valley Boulevard that was used for the gasoline service station will be
permanently removed and replaced with curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
A redesigned surface parking lot will be provided south of the commercial building. A
total of eleven (11) parking spaces will be provided on site, which includes thirteen (10)
standard spaces and one (1) handicapped parking space. A loading space will also be
provided along the eastern edge of the property.
Per Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) Section 17.84.100 (A), any retail or office land
use must provide one parking space for every 250 square feet of floor area. Since the
commercial building has a combined floor area'of 1,116 square feet, five (5) parking
spaces are required. The site plan indicates that the subject site meets this requirement
by providing seventeen (11) stalls. It is important to note that while there are more
parking spaces provide than required for retail, office or other commercial use of the
building, there is also sufficient parking provided for the building to be used as a
restaurant as well. A restaurant would require one parking space for every 100 square
feet. This would result in eleven (11) parking spaces being required for the building,
which is how many are being provided.
Landscaping and Fencing
The applicant is proposing approximately 2,932 square feet of landscaping for the entire
site. The landscape plan indicates the use of a wide variety of plant materials, which
include: Crapemyrtle, Yankee Point Lilac, Wheelers Pittosporum, Lily of the Nile, Dwarf
Japanese Garden Juniper, and prostate rosemary. The. project will also be subject to
the City's Water Efficient Landscape regulations, which encourages the use of low
water usage plant materials. t
The applicant is proposing to construct a new three (3) foot tall decorative block wall
along the front property line which abuts the par stalls. The wall will separate the
parking stalls from the pedestrian walkway at the front property line. A new six (6) foot
tall decorative block wall is also proposed along the north and east property lines.

Lighting
According to the site plan, a total of three (3) light pole fixtures are proposed throughout
the site. These light poles will be 22 feet tall. The proposed buildings will also
incorporate decorative wall mounted light fixtures. A condition of approval has been
added to ensure that all new lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to
mitigate glare on adjacent properties.
Signage
The applicant is proposing to replace an existing pole sign at the southwest corner of
the site with a new six (6) foot tall monument sign that will be constructed with a circular
bench wall around it. A new 21.25 square foot wall sign area is also proposed for the
south elevation of the building.
Municipal Code Requirements
Section 17.72.030 of the Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) states that design review
procedures shall be followed for all improvements requiring a building permit or visible
changes in form, texture, color, exterior fagade or landscaping.
Section 17.72.050 provides the criteria by which the Planning Commission may
approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application:
The plans indicate proper consideration for the relationship between the
proposed structure and site developments that exist or have been approved for
the general neighborhood;
The proposed building and site renovation is located within an established
commercial district of the City. The applicant has provided an aesthetically
complementary design and the proposed improvements will vastly improve the
existing commercial building and.its relationship to the commercial district. The
proposed project is consistent with the Goal 2, Policy 2.5 of the Land Use
Element of the City's General Plan in that it calls for the upgrading of commercial
uses by implementing architectural and design reviews of proposals for remodel
of existing buildings.
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.
All new lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to mitigate glare on
adjacent properties. Conditions of approval have been incorporated to eliminate
any adverse effects on the environment as a result of the proposed project. This
development will not generate any permanent impacts to noise levels for the
surrounding area. All construction work will be required to comply with the

Access to the site is located on Valley Boulevard via a 26.35' wide driveway and

closure of a second existing driveway on Valley Boulevard, will improve traffic
circulation be removing a driveway that is too close to the intersection. The
parking lot is conveniently located to the south of the commercial building. All
parking lot lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to mitigate glare
on adjacent properties. Lastly, this building renovation will greatly improve the
visual effect of the site from the view of the public streets, primarily Valley
Boulevard.
