Administrative Analysis
As illustrated in Exhibit "B", the applicant is proposing to construct a 1,868 square feet
addition to an existing legal, nonconforming single-family dwelling unit. The proposed
total floor area is 3,724 square feet. Additionally, the applicants are proposing to
construct a detached three-car garage towards the rear of the property. The single-
family dwelling unit is nonconforming due to an existing substandard side yard setback
along the northern property line.
According to Building and Safety Division records, on January 22, 2004, the City of
Rosemead requested that the State of California Department of Social Services
reinstate the family day care license for 14 children. As such, the City of Rosemead
recognizes the large family child care use as an existing legal nonconforming use. It is
recommended that the Planning Commission impose a condition of approval to require
the applicant to obtain a business license for the operation of the large family child care
use.
Development Standards
Staff has verified that the proposed single-family dwelling unit addition would be in
compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code,

Parking and Circulation
Per Rosemead Muncipal Code, Section 17.112.040, single-family dwellings with five (5)
or more bedrooms and over 2,000 square feet of floor area require three (3) parking

the property.
Per Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.112.090(B)(1)(a), driveways used to serve
not more than two (2) dwelling units shall be a minimum of twelve (12) feet wide. The
applicants are proposing a driveway with a minimum width of twelve (12) feet.
Fencing
The applicant is proposing to maintain the existing four (4) feet high block wall with
wrought iron along the front property line. In addition, the applicant is proposing to
remove the existing six (6) feet high chain link fence along the north, south, and east
property line and replace it with a six (6) feet high slump stone concrete block wall.
Landscaping
Per Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.12.030(B)(1)(f), a minimum of one (1) tree
shall be planted in new or remodeled residential front yards for every fifty (50) feet of
street frontage. The applicants are proposing to plant one (1) new 15 gallon tree in the
front yard.
Per Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.12.030(B)(1)(a), a minimum of twenty (20)
percent of the entire parcel shall be fully landscaped with plant materials. The proposed
site plan indicates that 29 percent of the subject property would be landscaped.
Municipal Code Requirements
Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.120.030, requires for concurrent processing of
multiple permit applications: multiple applications for the same project shall be
processed concurrently, and shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the highest
review authority designated by [the] Zoning Code for any of the applications. The
highest review authority designated by the Zoning Code for any of the applications for
the proposed project is the Planning Commission. As such, Design Review 15-09 and
Minor Exception 15-10 shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the Planning
Commission.
According to Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.12.030(B)(1)(j), any addition to a
dwelling unit in which the total floor area with the addition equals or exceeds two
thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet of developed living area shall be subject to a
discretionary Site Plan and Design Review application. Rosemead Municipal Code,
Section 17.28.020(C), provides the criteria by which the Planning Commission may

A. The plans indicate proper consideration for the relationship between the
proposed building and site developments that exist or have been approved for
the general neighborhood.
The subject property is located within an established residential area of the City.
The proposed project will maintain the existing single-family dwelling use. The
proposed project will not disrupt the single-family dwelling characteristic of the
surrounding neighborhood. Also, in order to minimize the impacts of adding bulk
and mass to existing residential neighborhood, the proposed addition will be
located in the rear half of the lot.
B. 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.
The proposed project is designed with front and rear setbacks that exceed the
minimum requirements of the R-1 zone, which creates a large buffer between the
subject residence and the surrounding residences to protect against noise,
vibrations, and other factors, which may have an adverse effect on the
environment and neighborhood. This development will not generate any
foreseeable permanent negative impacts to the noise levels of the surrounding
area. All construction work would be required to comply with the timeframe and
decibel levels indicated in the City of Rosemead Noise Ordinance. Conditions of
Approval will specifically address factors such as construction hours,
landscaping, and the overall maintenance of the property.
C. The proposed building or site development is not, in its exterior design and
appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing buildings 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 would not depreciate the appearance and value of the local
environment. The proposed addition will essentially match the existing single
family dwelling in exterior appearance. Such exterior appearance will
complement the surrounding neighborhood, as the colors and materials are
similar to those found within the vicinity of the subject site.
D. The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed
developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where
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.
Planning Commission Meeting
March 7,2016
Page 6 of 16
The subject property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan, or land
reserved for public or educational use. The applicant is proposing to maintain the
existing single-family dwelling use, which is the prominent use permitted in the R-
1 zone.
E. 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.
The proposed development would require the granting of a Minor Exception due
to the substandard side yard setback along the northern property line as
permitted by the Rosemead Zoning Code. The proposed development conforms
with all other standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code and any other applicable
referenced ordinances.
F. 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 subject site would continue to be from Muscatel Avenue. The
design and construction of this project would preserve and provide adequate
access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The proposed
development will not significantly change the visual effect of the site from the
view of the public street.
According to Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.72.O4O(A)(2), a structure that is
legal nonconforming due to setbacks, height, or other similar development standard, but
not including floor area, may be enlarged or extended provided that the enlargement
shall not increase the degree of nonconformity nor shall it extend into any conforming
setback area. Such enlargement shall be processed pursuant to the standards set forth
in Chapter 17.142 (Minor Exceptions).
The proposed addition will not increase the degree of nonconformity and will not extend
into any conforming setback area. The standard minimum side yard setback for the
subject property is six (6) feet. The proposed addition will provide a six (6) feet side yard
setback along the northern property line and a sixteen (16) feet and six (6) inch side
yard setback along the southern property line. The proposed addition will significantly
exceed the standard minimum rear yard setback. The existing dwelling structure is
proposed to remain.

WHEREAS, the Rosemead Planning Commission has sufficiently considered all
testimony presented to them in order to make the following determination.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City

SECTION 2. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES
that facts do exist to justify approving Design Review 15-09 and Minor Exception 15-10,
in accordance with Sections 17.28.020(C), 17.72.040(A)(2), and 17.142.020(A)(2) of the

FINDING: The proposed project is designed with front and rear setbacks that
exceed the minimum requirements of the R-1 zone, which creates a large buffer
between the subject residence and the surrounding residences to protect against noise,
vibrations, and other factors, which may have an adverse effect on the environment and
neighborhood. This development will not generate any foreseeable permanent negative
impacts to the noise levels of the surrounding area. All construction work would be

C. The proposed building or site development is not, in its exterior design and
appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing buildings or site
developments in the neighborhood as to cause the nature of the local environment to

FINDING: The proposed project would not depreciate the appearance and value
of the local environment. The proposed addition will essentially match the existing single
family dwelling in exterior appearance. Such exterior appearance will complement the
surrounding neighborhood, as the colors and materials are similar to those found within
the vicinity of the subject site.
D. The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed
developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where 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.
FINDING: The subject property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan,
or land reserved for public or educational use. The applicant is proposing to maintain
the existing single-family dwelling use, which is the prominent use permitted in the R-1
zone.
E. 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.
FINDING: The proposed development would require the granting of a Minor
Exception due to the substandard side yard setback along the northern property line as

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
