STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ROSEMEAD
PLANNING COMMISSION
FROM: PLANNING DIVISION
DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2010
SUBJECT: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 10 -10
2139 SAN GABRIEL BOULEVARD
Summary
Melissa Chen Lu, representing Unity Auto Service, Inc., has submitted a Conditional
Use Permit application proposing to operate an automobile repair facility at a location
that was previously used for automobile repair and sales. The project includes minor
alterations to the parking lot and landscaping. The site is located at 2139 San Gabriel
Boulevard in.the C -3 (Medium Commercial) zone.
Environmental Determination:
Section 15301 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines exempts
projects that consist of the minor alteration of existing structures involving negligible
expansion of the previous use. The proposed project will re- establish automobile repair
use on the site that has been used for automotive service uses for almost fifty (50)
years with no change in the on -site structures. Accordingly, Conditional Use Permit 10-
10 is classified as a Class 1 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of CEQA
guidelines,
Staff Recommendation
Based on the analysis and findings contained in this report, staff recommends that the
Planning Commission APPROVE Conditional Use Permit 10 -10 and ADOPT Resolution
No. 10 -36 with findings (Exhibit "A "), and subject to the forty -three (43) conditions
outlined in Exhibit "B" attached hereto.
Property History and Description
The subject site is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of San Gabriel
Boulevard and La Merced Road. The property is developed with a 1,198 square foot
commercial building that was most recently used as an automobile sales and repair
facility. Because the property has been unoccupied for more than a year, the site had
lost its previous nonconforming rights to be used as an automobile repair facility, and
Planning Commission Meeting
December 20, 2010
Page 2 of 16
thus a new Conditional Use Permit is required. The site was also used as a gasoline
service station from 1962 to approximately 1977. Based on a geophysical investigation
performed on the property in 2009, it appears that the underground storage tanks
associated with the previous service station use have been removed. The site includes
a small commercial building with a two -car automobile service bay, a service office,
storage, and restrooms. The site was recently improved with new concrete pavement,
new perimeter walls, and the building was repainted. The site consists of one (1) parcel,
totaling approximately 0.32 acres.
Planning Division records indicate that no entitlements have been approved for this
property.

Administrative Analysis
The proposed project includes a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of an
automobile repair facility. According to the applicant, the site will be used for automobile
repair, maintenance, and minor service (oil changes, tune -ups, brakes, tires, etc.). Unity
Auto Service, Inc. is proposing to operate Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00
p.m. and employ two (2) persons.
Section 17.112.030.28 of the Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) requires approval of a
Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair uses in the C -3 Zone. Additionally, even
though the site was previously used for automobile repair (along with auto sales) the
previous use was considered legal non - conforming because it was established before
the Zoning Code required a Conditional Use Permit for automobile repair facilities. Legal
nonconforming uses are permitted to remain but, pursuant to Section 17.12.060 of the
RMC, if a legal nonconforming use ceases operation for a period of one year any future
use of the site must meet the current requirements of the Zoning Code. In this case, the
previous automobile repair tenant vacated the property more than one year ago. Thus,
a Conditional Use Permit is required for Unity Auto Service, Inc. to re- establish an
automobile repair facility on the subject property.
No spray painting or auto body repairs are proposed. To ensure that no auto repair is
performed outside of the repair bay, staff has included specific conditions as to where
the work shall be performed and the location where vehicles are to be stored during
business hours.
Site Plan
As illustrated in "Exhibit C," there is an existing 1,198 square foot building on the subject
property. As described above, the existing building in the center of the site has two (2)
service bays, an office, storage and restrooms. Access to the site is from existing
driveways on San Gabriel Boulevard and La Merced Road.
The site is also encumbered by a 25' triangular shaped easement at the northeast
corner of the property. This recorded easement served a common driveway between
Planning Commission Meeting
December 20, 2010
Page 4 of 16
the subject property and the restaurant to the north. However, the common driveway
was eliminated at some time in the past so the recorded easement is no longer
necessary to serve either the subject property o'r the property to the north. However,
since the easement is still a recorded encumbrance on the property, staff has added a
condition of approval to either have access restored to the easement (recent perimeter
wall construction has blocked access to the easement) or the applicant shall officially
terminate the easement. I
The site currently includes a 20' -0" dedication of land along La Merced Road that was
previously granted to the City. This dedication was to facilitate the future widening of La
Merced Road. The applicant has constructed block walls and other non - permitted
encroachments in the City's right -of -way. Staff has included a condition of approval to
require the encroachments to be removed from the right -of -way as they present liability
issues for the City if they were to remain. The ICity Engineer has also reviewed the
street plans and determined that the dedication is no longer needed and he would
support a request by the applicant to vacate of this land. Vacation would allow the return
of the land to the ownership of the property lowner and allow for perimeter wall
improvements that were constructed in the current public right -of -way to remain since
the land where the walls are would become private property.
The City Engineer has also recommended that the applicant dedicate approximately
four (4) feet of land along the San Gabriel Boulevard right -of -way to facilitate the
widening of the public parkway from eight (8) feet l to twelve (12) feet.
The applicant is also proposing to install a new trash enclosure with a decorative trellis
in the northwest corner of the property. 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.
Elevations
The applicant is proposing no changes to the exterior of the building. The build_ ing has
recently been painted and is now white with grey trim.
Parking and Circulation
Access to the site would be via existing driveways on San Gabriel Boulevard and La
Merced Road. Surface parking will be provided t on the south side of the building and
along the north property line. A total of eight (8) parking spaces will be provided on site,
which includes seven (7) standard spaces and one (1) handicapped parking space.
Per Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC) Section 17.84.100 the combined parking
requirement for the proposed use is three (3) spaces. The site plan indicates that the
subject site exceeds this requirement by providing eight (8) stalls.
Planning Commission Meeting

Landscaping and Fencing
The site currently has no on -site landscaping. The applicant is proposing approximately
550 square feet of new landscaping for the site. The landscaping requirements comply
with the standards in the RMC.
Signage
The applicant is proposing to continue to use the existing, approximately 16 foot tall,
pole sign along San Gabriel Boulevard. A condition of approval has been added,
requiring that the applicant submit a master sign program to the Planning Division for
review and approval prior to Planning Division final inspection.
Municipal Code Requirements
Section 17.112.030.27 of the RMC allows the development of automobile repair projects
in the C -3 zone upon the granting of a Conditional Use Permit by the Planning
Commission. RMC Section 17.112.010 sets the following criteria that must be met:
• The granting of such conditional use permit will be in harmony with the elements or
objectives of the General Plan; and
The site is designated in the General Plan as Mixed Use: Industrial /Commercial and
is developed with a small commercial building most recently used as an automobile
sales and repair facility. The proposed use is in conformity with the General Plan, in
that C -3 (Medium Commercial) zoning is a corresponding zone district with the
Mixed Use: Industrial /Commercial General Plan land use category. Section
17.112.030.27 of the RMC allows . "automobile repair" in the C -3 zone upon the
granting of a Conditional Use Permit.
• The establishment, maintenance or conduct of the use for which the conditional use
permit is sought will not, under the particular case, be detrimental to the health,
safety, morals, comfort, convenience or welfare of persons residing or working in the
neighborhood; and
The proposed automobile repair facility will re- establish a use on the subject
property that had been operating on the site for more than thirty (30) years. From
1962 until approximately 1977, the site had been used as a gasoline service station
and then from 1977 until a little more than one year ago the site was used for
automobile repair and sales. For almost fifty (50) years automotive service uses on
the site have operated without any known adverse impacts on the community: An
automobile repair facility provides a valuable neighborhood serving commercial use
in the southern portion of the City. The proposed development is consistent with
existing land uses in the neighborhood and conditions of approval have been
included with the project to protect the welfare of persons working and residing in the
neighborhood including the location of the trash enclosure, adequate. parking, and
storm water treatment.
