A. On October 14, 2008, the City Council of the City of Rosemead adopted a comprehensive update to the Rosemead General Plan, by Resolution No. 2008 -66, and B. On April 13, 2010, the City Council adopted an amendment to Rosemead General Plan, by Resolution No. 2010 -23, and C. The General Plan provides a vision that will guide the future development in the City of Rosemead through a set of goals, objectives, and policies, and D.

The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public convenience, health, safety, or general welfare of the City, and J. The City staff has prepared an initial study pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This initial study determined that the proposed municipal code amendment will not have any adverse impact on the environment, and accordingly prepared and recommended the adoption of a Negative Declaration. NOW, THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Rosemead, County of Los Angeles, State of California, does hereby find, determine, and ordain as follows: Section 2. On October 8, 2013, the City Council adopted the Negative Declaration that was prepared and distributed for public review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines for Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 by City Council Resolution No. 2013 -45 as the environmental clearance for the project. Section 3. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 is in the best interest of the public necessity and general welfare, and good city planning practice dictates and supports the proposed amendment, in that the change to the Rosemead Municipal Code will provide a superior level of planning and protection to the quality and character of the City. Section 4 . The City Council FURTHER FINDS AND DETERMINES that Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 is consistent with the Rosemead General Plan as follows: A. Land Use The Land Use Element provides goals and policies related to the physical development of land within the City. The Element contains a Land Use Map that shows the permitted land uses on different parcels in the City, along with standards of development density and intensity. Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 is a comprehensive update of the City's Zoning Code (Title 17 of the Rosemead Municipal Code) that is pursued to implement General Plan policy and to add provisions mandated by California State law. Amendments to the City's existing Home Occupation business license regulations (Title 5 of the Municipal Code, Chapter 5.41 — Home Occupations) are included in the project for the purpose of allowing Cottage Food Operations (CFOs) as home occupations in residential zoning districts in accordance with State law. The following list includes, but is not limited to, several of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Code that will implement the goals and policies of the City's General Plan. Ordinance No. 931 2 1. The General Plan Update established a mixed -use industrial /commercial land use category to accommodate light industry, research and development, and office uses. The emphasis is on businesses that provide career oriented and trade jobs. The Zoning Code Update proposes the CI -MU (Commercial - Industrial Mixed -Use) zone to implement the General Plan land use policy. The CI -MU zone is intended to provide heavy commercial and quasi - industrial uses that are consistent with the General Plan Mixed -Use Industrial /Commercial land use designation. 2. In accordance with the General Plan Land Use Element - Residential Land Use Categories, the Zoning Code Update proposes to allow a variety of housing types, including single - family dwellings, duplexes, and apartment houses in the R -3 (Medium Multiple Residential) zone. 3. To implement 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 the project proposes to eliminate the possibility of constructing multi - family housing in the P -O (Professional Office) zone. This proposed municipal code amendment -is intended to eliminate the possibility of incompatible land uses (i.e. residential units) from being built within an established commercial office neighborhood. 4. General Plan Land Use Action 3.4 requires encouraging the grouping of certain types of commercial activities that would benefit from similar type of development. To further this goal, Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 proposes to restrict land uses to light manufacturing and industrial business activities in the M -1 (Light Manufacturing and Industrial) zone. Currently, the M -1 (Light Manufacturing and Industrial) zone allows any land use that is also permitted in the C -1 (Neighborhood Commercial) and C -3 (Medium Commercial) zones in addition to light industrial uses. 5. Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 proposes the adoption of a voluntary Green Building Program to encourage green building practices and materials in accordance with General Plan Land Use Action 5.13. 6. Several amendments are proposed to expand architectural design review and application procedures to implement General Plan Land Use Policy 2.7 and Land Use Action 3.7. These amendments include, but are not limited to, the expansion of discretionary design review procedures including large commercial and industrial additions, remodels, and new development. New Zoning Code standards are also proposed to improve the aesthetic quality of future developments. Examples of such revisions include standards for the screening of mechanical equipment, new limitations on the use of fence materials, standards for the design of exterior lighting facilities, as well as the addition of development standards for lot area, minimum lot width and depth, and setbacks for improved site planning. 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. The Circulation Element contains a Circulation Map that designates roadways in the City. Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 would not affect the transportation network in the City and no Ordinance No. 931 3 change to roadway designations are proposed. Potential impacts to traffic and transportation related to future projects would depend on the extent of a proposed project and local conditions. All potential development projects proposed in the future will be required to provide efficient vehicular access to the site and satisfy the parking requirements proposed in Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07. 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. Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 proposes several amendments to implement the City's Housing Element. Amendments are proposed to include development standards for Emergency Shelters in the M -1 (Light Manufacturing and Industrial) zone, Large and Small Family Day Care Facilities in the R -1 (Single - Family Residential), R -2 (Light Multiple Residential), and R -3 (Medium Multiple Residential) zones, Transitional and Supportive Housing in the R -1 (Single - Family Residential), R -2 (Light Multiple Residential), and R -3 (Medium Multiple Residential) zones, and provisions for Reasonable Accommodation requests. The proposed amendments would be consistent with State and Federal law and implement the City's Housing Element. 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. Any proposed development resulting from Municipal Code Amendment 10- 07 would be located in a developed urban area, and as such, will not result in any impact upon natural resources. In line with the goals and policies of the Resource Management Element, Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07 proposes revised development standards for the City's Open Space zoning district. The revised standards are intended to provide urban relief, recreation, and environmental preservation standards that are consistent with polices of the Resource Management Element. E. Noise: The Noise Element characterizes the existing noise environment, identifies existing noise sources, projects the noise environment at General Plan build out, 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 Comprehensive Zoning Code Update proposes development performance standards in Article 2 that state that no land use may violate the City's noise standards. 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. Ordinance No. 931 4 Section 5. CODE AMENDMENT. The City Council HEREBY APPROVES Municipal Code Amendment 10 -07, repealing Title 17 in its entirety and replacing it with the changes indicated in Exhibit "A, and amending Chapter 5.41 (Home Occupations) of Title 5 by incorporating the changes shown in Exhibit "B ", where changes to existing code in both Title 17 and Title 5 are shown in green text to be added, strikethrough (black) for text to be deleted, and black text for existing to remain. Section 6.

Findings. The following findings are adopted in support of Zone Change 13 -01 to implement General Plan Policy as part of the Comprehensive Zoning Code Update. A. On October 14, 2008, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the Rosemead General Plan, by Resolution No. 2008 -66, and B. On April 13, 2010, the City Council adopted an amendment to Rosemead General Plan, by Resolution No. 2010 -23, and C. The General Plan provides a vision that will guide the future development in the City of Rosemead through a set of goals, objectives, and policies, and D. Pursuant to Government Code Section 65860, local jurisdictions, with newly adopted general plans, are required to amend their zoning ordinances and zoning maps to ensure consistency with the newly adopted general plan, and E. The amendment to the City's existing Zoning Map is proposed as part of the City's Comprehensive Zoning Code Update project to ensure that this document is consistent with the proposed municipal code amendments, and F. The proposed amendment would not be detrimental to the public convenience, health, safety, or general welfare of the City, and G. The City staff prepared an initial study pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This initial study determined that the proposed zone change will not have any adverse impact on the environment, and accordingly prepared and recommended the adoption of a Negative Declaration. NOW, THEREFORE the City Council of the City of Rosemead, County of Los Angeles, State of California, does hereby find, determine, and ordain as follows: Section 2. On October 8, 2013, the City Council adopted the Negative Declaration that was prepared and distributed for public review in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines for Zone Change 13 -01 by City Council Resolution No. 2013 -45 as the environmental clearance for the project. Ordinance No. 932 Section 3. The City Council 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 proposed zone change, in that the change to the Rosemead Zoning Map will provide a superior level of planning and protection to the quality and character of the City. Section 4 . The City Council 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 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. Housin : 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) Ordinance No. 932 2 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 -0 (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 El 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 5. The City Council APPROVES 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. Section 6. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or word of this ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rosemead HEREBY DECLARES that it would have passed and adopted Ordinance No. 932 and each and all provisions thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said provisions may be declared to be invalid. Section 7. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its adoption. Ordinance No. 932 3 Section 8. ADOPTION. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall publish a summary of this ordinance and post a certified copy of the full ordinance in the office of the City Clerk at least five days prior to the adoption and within 15 days after adoption of the ordinance, the City Clerk shall publish a summary of the ordinance with the names of the council members voting for and against the ordinance. This ordinance shall take effect thirty days after the date of its adoption. Section 9 . The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.
