SECTION 4. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that
facts do exist to justify approving DR 16-07 in accordance with Section 17.28.020 of the
Rosemead Municipal Code as follows:
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.
FINDING: The proposed project consists of remodeling the exterior façade of an
existing commercial building, an interior commercial tenant improvement to establish two
separate units, expanding the existing parking lot, and installing new landscaping. The
proposed exterior façade design would be of a modern design and would be
complementary to the existing developments in the vicinity.
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.
FINDING: The existing structure is designed with front, side, and rear setbacks
that meet or exceed the minimum requirements of the C-3 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 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.
FINDING: The proposed modern exterior facade of the existing building would
complement the existing commercial site developments within the vicinity of the project
site. The proposed project utilizes colors and materials that would not be at variance with
the appearance of existing neighboring buildings. As such, approval of the proposed
project would not cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in
appearance and value.
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 proposed modern exterior facade of the existing building would be
in harmony with the proposed developments on land in the general area. The use of
natural and modern materials, warm colors, and style of the building would complement
buildings that are part of the Civic center, in public of educational use, or are within or
immediately adjacent to land included within any precise plan which indicates building
shape, size, or style.
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 modern exterior façade of the existing building would
complement the existing commercial site developments within the vicinity of the project
site. The existing structure meets all the development standards in Table 17.16.030.1 of
the Rosemead Municipal Code. As such, the proposed project would be in conformity
with the standards of the Zoning Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the
location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved.
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.
FINDING: The project consists of a proposed modern exterior façade of the
existing building, the expansion of the existing parking lot, and new landscaping. The site
plan and design of the parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries, and other site
features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the functional aspects
of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation. The proposed
modern exterior façade of the existing building would produce a visually pleasing effect
of the development from the view of public streets.
SECTION 5. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that
facts do exist to justify approving TPM 74334, in accordance with Section 16.08.130 of
the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows:
A. The proposed division will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor
injurious to the property or improvements in the immediate vicinity;
FINDING: The proposed map to consolidate five (5) parcels into one (1) parcel will
improve the alignment of the subject property lines and prevent parcels within the
development from being sold separately without adequate parking and access facilities
in the future. The proposed map is designed within the parameters of the Subdivision
Map Act and the Rosemead Municipal Code. The map will not be detrimental to public
welfare or injurious to the property improvements in the immediate vicinity.
B. The proposed division will not be contrary to any official plan adopted by the
City Council; or to any official policies or standards adopted by the City Planning
Commission or the City Council and on file in the office of the City Clerk at or prior to the
time of filing of the application hereunder;
FINDING: The subject site is designated C-3/D-O (Medium Commercial with a
Design Overlay) on the Zoning Map and Commercial in the General Plan. Planning
Division staff, as well as the Public Works staff, have checked the map for accuracy and
have verified that the application is not contrary to any adopted policy or plans.
C. Each proposed parcel conforms in area and dimension to the provisions of
zoning and subdivision requirements of the city;
FINDING: Table 17.16.030.1 of the Rosemead Municipal Code requires a
minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet with a minimum lot width/depth of 50 feet for any
proposed parcel of land in a C-3 zone. The proposed parcel of land will have a total lot
area of 26,418 square feet and a lot width/depth that exceeds the minimum requirement
of 50 feet. Therefore, the proposed map will conform to Table 17.16.030.1 of the
Rosemead Municipal Code and will be processed in compliance with the Subdivision Map
Act.
D. All streets, alleys and driveways proposed to serve the property have been
dedicated or such dedication is not required for the protection of public safety, health and
welfare and that such streets, alleys and driveways are of sufficient width, design and
construction to preserve the public safety and to provide adequate access and circulation
for vehicular and pedestrian traffic; and
FINDING: Access to the new parcel of land is via Valley Boulevard. No additional
streets, alleys, or driveways are proposed with this map. The City Engineer has checked
the tentative map for its accuracy and is satisfied with the proposed parcel map request.
The City Engineer's conditions of approval have been included in Conditions of Approval
and will be complied with at the time of filing the final map and at the implementation
phase. In addition, the applicant is not proposing any new development on the site.
E. All easements and covenants required for the approval of the tentative map or
plot plan have been duly executed and recorded.
FINDING: Prior to recordation of the Final Parcel Map, and where applicable, the
applicant shall dedicate necessary easements to be executed as required by the City
Engineer and such dedicated easements shall be recorded with the Final Parcel Map.
SECTION 6. The Planning Commission HEREBY APPROVES CUP 16-05, CUP
16-06, DR 16-07, and TPM 74334 to consolidate five (5) parcels of land into one (1) parcel
of land; improve the facade of the existing commercial building; perform interior tenant
