NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead as follows: SECTION 1 . The Planning Commission HEREBY DETERMINES that Tentative Tract ]/lap 53377 and Planned Development 00 -01 are limited to projects that consist of infill development projects of less than 5 acres in size that will not have a significant effect on traffic, noise, or air quality. Such projects are listed as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act and local environmental guidelines. Therefore, this project is exempt from environmental review. SECTION 2 . The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify recommending approval of Tentative Tract Map 53377 and Planned Development 00 -01 according to the Criteria of Chapter 17.116.010 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: A. That the proceedings to alter the development plan for this Planned Development Zoned property is justified in that it is in the public's necessity, convenience, general welfare or good zoning practices for such action. FINDING: The subject site consists of two sites, one which falls within the General Plan land use designation of low density and the second that is placed in the high density land use category. The land use element in the General Plan indicates that the policies call for a strip of high - density residential housing along Mission Drive extending from an area just west of Muscatel 0 0 Avenue to Rosemead Boulevard. Such high - density areas serve as buffers between the arterial roads and the single - family neighborhoods located northwest of Rosemead Boulevard and Mission Drive. Due to the split designations, the project would work well as either a low or high density project. Although the current design (7.2 units per acre) is not considered "high density ", the lots have been designed with an average lot size (5,076 so smaller than allowed in the low density areas of the City (6,000 sf min.). B. A planned development zone may be established to provide diversification in the location of structures and other land uses while insuring compliance with the General Plan and compatibility with existing and future developments in surrounding areas. FINDING: The project is in compliance with the general plan in-that one half of the site is designated as "low density residential' and the developer is proposing a "low density" design with setbacks that are similar to those for R -I single family residential development standards. Surrounding areas to the north and west of the site are either developed with low density single family homes or are planned to be developed as low density housing in the near future. SECTION 3 . The Planning Commission HEREBY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL of Tentative Tract Map 53377 and Planned Development 00 -01, for a 12 -lot single - family residential development, subject to conditions listed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. SECTION 4 . This resolution is the result of an action taken by the Planning Commission on December 17, 2002, by the following vote: YES: ALARCON, ORTIZ, BREEN, LOI, RL IZ NO: NONE ABSENT: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE SECTION 5 .
