NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead as follows: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that Zone Change 13 -01 is in the best interest of the public necessity and general welfare, and good city planning practice dictates and supports the approval of Zone Change 13 -01 in that the proposed will provide a superior level of planning and protection to the quality and character of the City. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission FURTHER FINDS AND DETERMINES that Zone Change 13 -01 is consistent with the Rosemead General Plan as follows: A. Land Use: The General Plan is a set of long -term goals and policies that are used to guide development decisions. The Zoning Map, along with the Zoning Code, is a tool that is used to implement the goals and policies of the general plan. Zone Change 13 -01 is part of a Comprehensive Zoning Code Update project that is pursued to implement General Plan policy. The following list supports the amendments to the Zoning Map that will implement the goals and policies of the City's General Plan: 1. The General Plan Update established a Mixed -Use Industrial /Commercial land use category to accommodate light industry, research and development, and office uses in the City. The emphasis is on businesses that provide career oriented and trade jobs. Zone Change 13 -01 proposes a new CI -MU (Commercial - Industrial Mixed -Use) zone which corresponds to the General Plan Mixed -Use Industrial /Commercial land use designation on the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table (Table 2 -5). 2. To implement General Plan Land Use Policy 1.7, which calls for fostering housing stock and neighborhood revitalization, renovation, and good site /architectural design, the Zone Change 13 -01 proposes rezone approximately ten (10) acres of existing P -O (Professional Office) zone to the R -3 (Medium Multiple Residential) zone, where existing development is entirely residential. B. Circulation: The Circulation Element provides goals and policies related to the development of a transportation network that would support the existing and planned development in the City, as provided in the Land Use Element. Zone Change 13 -01 will bring City zoning designations into compliance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. Potential impacts to traffic and transportation depend on Planning Commission Resolution No. 13 -12 2 the extent of a proposed project and local conditions. Each new proposed project will be required to provide efficient vehicular access to the site. Furthermore, all developments will be required to satisfy the parking requirements outlined in the municipal code. C. Housing: The Housing Element identifies the City's goals, policies, and programs relating to the provision of adequate housing to existing and future residents in the of the City of Rosemead, by identifying the needs of existing households and projected increase in population. The proposed zone change will not induce substantial new population growth nor displace existing housing units or people. The zoning map update will bring City zoning designations into compliance with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. The new CI -MU (Commercial Industrial Mixed -Use) zone is proposing maximum Floor Area Ratios (FAR) consistent with what is already established in the City's General Plan. The rezoning of existing P -O (Professional Office) zoned property to R -3 (Medium Multiple Residential) will further Goal 5 which calls for targeted land use changes that improve housing and economic opportunities for residents and businesses and achieve fiscal and environmental objectives. D. Resource Management: The Resource Management Element open space component is to guide and set policy framework for existing and future open spaces for use by residents. The conservation component focuses on protecting and maintaining available natural resources and discouraging wasteful consumption practices. No land is being re- designated to allow development that was formally targeted for some conservation or resource management or extraction purpose E. Noise: The Noise Element characterizes the existing noise environment, identifies existing noise sources, projects the noise environment at build out of the City, and provides goals, policies, and programs for maintaining acceptable noise levels. The Rosemead Municipal Code contains an existing Noise Ordinance in Chapter 8.36 of Title 8 of the Rosemead Municipal Code. The associated development standards to the zones identified and established in this update will require new developments to comply with the City's noise standards. Noise impacts resulting from Zone Change 13- 01 would be similar to and possibly less than, the level of impacts identified in the 2008 General Plan EIR and 2010 Addendum. F. Public Safety: Impacts to law or fire enforcement, parks, and public facilities are area or community specific. The proposed municipal code amendment would not impact police, fire, or school services, and there would be no change in demand for or use of public parks. The entire City of Rosemead is located in Flood Zone C (flood insurance is not mandatory) and is free from any flood hazard designations. SECTION 4. The Planning Commission HEREBY RECOMMENDS TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL of Zone Change 13 -01, amending the City of Rosemead zoning map with the changes indicated in Exhibit "A," to implement the City's General Plan and ensure consistency with the Zoning Code. Planning Commission Resolution No. 13 -12 3 SECTION 5. This Resolution shall take effect immediately. SECTION 6.
