NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of

SECTION 1 . The Planning Commission HEREBY DETERMINES that this activity is
exempt from further CEQA review under section 15315 of CEQA, which exempts projects
limited to the subdivision of certain properties in urban areas into four or fewer parcels.
SECTION 2 . The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that
facts do exist to justify approving Tentative Parcel Map 27139 according to the criteria of
Section 16.08.130 and Section 17.16.060, respectively, of the Rosemead Municipal Code as
follows:
A. The map will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the
property or improvements in the immediate vicinity.
FINDING: Property in the immediate vicinity will not be detrimentally affected by the
proposed subdivision since the surrounding area consists of single - family homes such as the
proposed project. The implementation of this project will incorporate the construction of one
new home in respect to adjacent residences. The residential design complies with the setback
requirements for its zoning district and the proposed lot sizes exceed the minimum requirements
of the City's flag lot ordinance.
B. The map will not be contrary to any official plan adopted by the City Council of the
City of Rosemead; or to any official policies or standards adopted by the City Council and on file
in the office of the City Clerk at or prior to the time of filing of the application hereunder.
FINDING: This proposed project complies with the zoning district and general plan
designation for this area of the City. The site is designated as low density single - family
residential in both of these maps and the proposed development complies with the minimum lot
dimension and size requirements of the R -1 zoning district. Accordingly, this development will
not be contrary to any official plan, policies, or standards adopted by the city.
C. Each proposed parcel conforms in area and dimension to the provisions of zoning and
subdivision requirements of the City of Rosemead.
FINDING: The proposed parcel map will split one existing parcel into two parcels.
Each parcel and the proposed residence have been designed to meet the minimum parcel size and
property dimension requirements as required in the R -1; Single Family Residential Zone.
D. All streets, alleys and driveways proposed to serve the property have been dedicated
or such dedication is not required for the protection of public safety, health and welfare and that
such streets, alleys and driveways are of sufficient width, design and construction to preserve the
public safety and to provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
FINDING: The City Engineer has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the
adjacent right -of -way. Access to the proposed parcels is off Guess Street, which is a fully
improved local street. The private common driveway has been reviewed by the Los Angeles
County Fire Department for meeting their subdivision requirements. Based on these reviews, it
is detennined that the design and construction of this project would preserve the public safety
and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
E. Alley easements and covenants required for the approval of the tentative map or plot
plan have been duly executed and recorded.
FINDING: Prior to recordation of the final parcel map, the applicant is required to
record a covenant for ingress and egress, utility and drainage easement, fire lane, and the
installation of parkway area, as required by the City Engineer.

27139 for the subdivision of one residential lot into two (2) parcels with the development of one
