Administrative Analysis
Site Plan
As illustrated in "Exhibit C and D ", the applicant is proposing to improve the site by
remodeling the exterior fagade of the building, installing a monument sign and wall
signage, improving the landscaping throughout the site, and constructing a new trash
enclosure. The site is accessed from Valley Boulevard. A total of twenty -seven (27)
parking spaces are shown on the site plan for this property.
The subject site currently does not have a trash enclosure. The construction of a new
trash enclosure located on this site would eliminate existing parking spaces. As the
subject property owner also owns the adjacent property (8772 Valley Boulevard), a new,
larger trash enclosure is proposed to be constructed on the adjacent property. This new
trash enclosure is proposed to be utilized by both properties. Conditions of approval
have been added, requiring that a covenant be recorded with the Los Angeles County
Recorders Office ensuring that the subject property will have continued use of the trash
enclosure for as long as the office building is in use. Staff has also added a condition of
approval requiring that the trash enclosure doors be self - closing and self - latching, and
that the trash area be routinely, maintained free of trash and debris.
Floor Plan
The office building consists of two stories, with eight (8) separate suites on the first floor
and eleven (11) separate suites on the second floor. No interior improvements are
proposed under this project.
Elevations
New building colors and materials are proposed to modernize an existing building and
add visual architectural interest. The renovation of the building includes the application
of stucco over the existing brick veneer, new stone veneer, the construction of new
tower elements with columns and new parapet walls. All exterior walls will painted a tan
color (Sierra Tan 580). The tower elements and columns will be stucco finished in a off-
white color (Mown Hay ECC- 53 -1). Brown, earth tone colored stone veneer
(Chardonnay Alpine Ledgestone) will be applied to the base of each column. Stone
veneer "Golden Sand" will be installed on the entire front elevation building wall as an
added design element. New entry doors are also proposed on the front and both side
elevations.
Parking and Circulation
The site is accessed directly from Valley Boulevard via a one way drive aisle. The
private alley, located to the south of the site, provides vehicular exiting onto Muscatel
Avenue. No changes to the circulation of the site are proposed with this project.
A total of twenty -seven (27) parking spaces are provided on site. Rosemead Municipal
Code (RMC) Section 17.84 states that office use must provide one parking space for
every 250 square feet of floor area. The building totals 7,752 square feet of floor area
Planning Commission Meeting
September 19, 2011
Page 4 of 16
for office use. A total of thirty -one (31) parking spaces are required in order to comply
with RMC Section 17.84 Off - Street Parking Regulations. The site plan illustrates that
the subject site does not meet this requirement, as only twenty -seven (27) parking stalls
are provided.
This property is considered legal non - conforming due to the lack of required parking
spaces on site and the building's construction prior to the institution of the City's current
parking requirements. RMC Section 17.12.060(E) provides a list of permitted uses for
properties with less than the required number of parking spaces, including office uses.
Landscaping and Fencing
The applicant is proposing to add landscaping throughout the site. The proposed
landscape plan illustrates the addition of "Lily of the Nile ", "Star Jasmine', "Pink Lady
India Hawthorn ", and "New Zealand Flax" ground cover and shrubs and "Pindo Palm"
trees. Staff will add a condition of approval requiring additional plant material and trees
to be incorporated into the landscape plan to provide adequate landscape coverage
throughout the site. The landscape and irrigation plan shall include a wide variety of
plant materials which are drought tolerant and an irrigation plan that includes moisture
sensors.
A three (3) foot tall, concrete block wall will be constructed along the front property line
to screen the existing parking stalls. A condition of approval will be added requiring this
wall to be decorative in nature by incorporating colors and materials proposed on the
main building on site.
Lighting
New modern light fixtures are proposed throughout the site. A condition of approval has
been added to ensure that all lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to
mitigate glare on adjacent properties.
Signage
The applicant is proposing to remove the existing wall mounted sign located adjacent to
driveway. A new monument sign is proposed located adjacent to the driveway along
Valley Boulevard. The monument sign exterior finish will match the building wall color
and stone veneer. All letters will feature a "pushed through" design with a back -lit "halo"
effect.
Building identification signage is also proposed on the front and side elevations of the
building. The wall signs will be located centered on the new tower walls and will feature
two (2) foot tall silver, channel letters, illuminated with a back -lit "halo" effect. A
condition of approval will require that all trim caps and returns shall be painted to match
the metallic silver color of the letter face.
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 a design review 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 building site proposed for renovation is located within an established
commercial district of the City. The applicant has provided an aesthetically
complementary design for the building, which includes new building wall colors
and materials and new tower element and columns, 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 lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to mitigate glare on
adjacent properties. This fagade remodel will not generate any permanent
impacts to noise levels for the surrounding area. All construction work will be
required to comply with the timeframe, and decibel levels indicated in the City's
Noise Ordinance (Ordinance 478 and 541). Conditions of approval specifically
address factors such as noise, construction hours, screening of mechanical
equipment, landscaping, lighting, and the overall maintenance of the property.
The proposed structure or site development is not, in its exterior design and
appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing building or site
developments in the neighborhood as to cause the nature of the local
environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value.
The proposed project will not only not depreciate the area, it will improve the
physical appearance of the existing office building and the overall site. These
improvements to the site in terms of fagade remodel and new landscaping will
provide a marked improvement over the appearance of other neighboring
buildings along Valley Boulevard.
• The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed
developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where
Planning Commission Meeting

Page 6 of 16
buildings are within or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part
of the Civic Center or in public or educational use, or are within or immediately
adjacent to land included within any precise plan which indicates building shape,
size, or style.
The property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan or land reserved
for public or educational use. However, the site is directly adjacent to the Civic
Center. The applicant has proposed a good architectural design with the
proposed modifications to the building exterior, which will create an improved site
that is aesthetically complementary to the surrounding area. The proposed
upgrade of the existing building fagade with higher quality materials, a modern
design that blends better with the area, and greatly improved landscaping will
potentially enhance land values in the general area.
• The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this code and
other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the
buildings and structures are involved; and
This proposed development meets all of the minimum code requirements for the
C -31D (Medium Commercial with Design Overlay) zone, and all applicable
referenced code sections of the Rosemead Municipal Code.
• The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping,
luminaries, and other site features indicates that proper consideration has been
given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile
and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effect of the development from the view
of public streets.
Access to the site is located on Valley Boulevard via a one way drive aisle for
ingress. The site is exited via the adjacent alley on to Muscatel Avenue. The
parking lot is conveniently located along the side and rear of the office 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.
