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

Page 5 of 17
Mechanical Equipment
The applicant is proposing a ground-mounted air conditioning unit towards the north
side of the property. The water heater will be located inside the attached two-car
garage. The proposed air conditioning unit would be adequately screened by the
existing landscaping and chimney, and will not be seen from the public right-of-way. A
Condition of Approval has been incorporated to ensure that the proposed air
conditioning unit shall be screened from view.
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 15-08 and
Minor Exception 16-08 shall be reviewed, and approved or denied by the Planning
Commission.
According to Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.12.030(B)(1)(j)(2), 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
approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove [a Design Review] application:
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 applicant has provided an aesthetically complementary design, which
consists of a modern two-story single-family dwelling unit. The development
would improve the overall aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood.
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 structure is designed with front, side, and rear setbacks that meet
or exceed the minimum requirements of the R-1 zone, which creates a buffer
between the proposed residence and the surrounding residences to protect
against noise, vibrations, and other factors that may have an adverse effect on
the environment and neighborhood. This development would not generate any
foreseeable permanent negative impacts to the noise levels of the surrounding
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16.2016
Page 6 of 17
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 noise, 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. Staff has worked closely with the applicant to achieve a residential
design that would complement the neighborhood character. The applicant has
proposed a modern architectural design, which incorporates some aesthetic
characteristics found in surrounding residences currently built in the San Gabriel
Valley. The dwelling unit has been designed to create visual interest at the street
level. The proposed design elements are similar to many homes in the
surrounding area.
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.
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 driveway width 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.
Planning Commission Meeting
May 16,2016
Page 7 of 17
Access to the subject site would continue to be from Claudia 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.
