environmental clearance for General Plan Amendment 16-01, Tentative Tract Map 74095,
Planned Development Review 16-01, and Zone Variance 16-02.
SECTION 2. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving General Plan Amendment 16-01 in accordance with Rosemead
Municipal Code Section 17.152.060 as follows:
A. The amendment is consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan;
FINDING: The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject
parcel from Public Facilities to Medium Density Residential. The subject site is currently zoned
P-D on the Zoning Map. According to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency
Table, the P-D zone is a corresponding zone district to the Medium Density Residential land use
designation.
2
B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and
FINDING: The existing land use designation of the subject site is Public Facilities. The
subject site is currently designated as Public Facilities as it was a former sports field belonging to
Don Bosco Technical Institute. The proposed amendment would change the land use
designation to Medium Density residential for the construction of 21 single-family residential
units. The subject site is adjacent to single-family residences, therefore will not be detrimental to
the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The City has completed an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
proposed project pursuant to Section 15070(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The document is intended to be used by the City to evaluate the project's
environmental impacts, if any, to less than a significant level. To ensure that the surrounding
properties are protected against noise, vibrations, and other factors, the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program (MMRP) specifically addresses mitigation measures.
C. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating
characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle
access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width
and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate,
to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or
otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the
property is located.
FINDING: The subject site is adjacent to single-family residences, therefore, the
amendment to the Medium Density Residential land use designation for the construction of 21
single-family dwelling units will be physically suitable for the subject site. The subject site is
currently designated as Public Facilities as it was a former sports field belonging to Don Bosco
Technical Institute.
In addition, a traffic impact study was completed for the project to assess project-related
traffic impacts. The Study concluded that the portion of Lawrence Avenue utilized by the project
is projected to provide adequate capacity for existing plus project traffic conditions, and the
future traffic volumes are considered acceptable for a street that fronts residential land use. The
City Engineer and City's Traffic Consultant has reviewed the traffic study and finds it acceptable
and the study has been relied on in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
SECTION 3. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Tentative Tract Map 74095 in accordance with Section 66474 et
seq of the Subdivision Map Act and Rosemead Municipal Code Section 16.08.130 as follows:
A. The map will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to

condo parcels for the development of 21 single-family dwelling units. The proposed planned
development conforms with the area and dimension to the City codes.
D. All streets, alleys, and driveways proposed to serve the property have been
dedicated and that such streets, alleys, and driveways are of sufficient design to provide adequate
access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
FINDING: The City Engineer has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the
adjacent right-of-way. Vehicular access to the project site will be provided from via an
extension of Orange Street., which will be privately maintained. Based on this review, it is
determined that the design and construction of the project would preserve public safety and

SECTION 4. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Planned Development Review 16-01 in accordance with Rosemead
Municipal Code Section 17.24.040(E) and 17.152.060 as follows:
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan;
FINDING: The subject site is currently zoned P-D on the Zoning Map. According to
the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table, the P-D zone is a corresponding
zone district to the Medium Density Residential land use designation. For this reason, the
proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. The subject site is not located in a
specific plan area.
B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City; and
FINDING: The subject site is zoned P-D. The P-D zone is designated to accommodate
various types of development such as single-family residential developments. The subject site
was a part of a larger planned development for the Don Bosco Technical Institute, however, was
parceled off in 2016. The subject site is adjacent to single-family residences, therefore, the
development of 21 single-family residential units will not be detrimental to the public interest,
health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
The City has completed an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the
proposed project pursuant to Section 15070(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). The document is intended to be used by the City to evaluate the project's
environmental impacts, if any, to less than a significant level. To ensure that the surrounding
properties are protected against noise, vibrations, and other factors, the Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Program(MMRP) specifically addresses mitigation measures.
C. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating
characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle
access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width
and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely
generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize,
or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the
property is located.
FINDING: The existing site is zoned P-D. The P-D zone is designated to accommodate
various types of development such as single-family residential developments. The subject site
was a part of a larger planned development for the Don Bosco Technical Institute, however, was
parceled off in 2016. The subject site is physically suitable for a residential planned development
as it is adjacent to single-family residences.
In addition, a traffic impact study was completed for the project to assess project-related
traffic impacts. The Study concluded that the portion of Lawrence Avenue utilized by the
5
project is projected to provide adequate capacity for existing plus project traffic conditions, and
the future traffic volumes are considered acceptable for a street that fronts residential land use.
The City Engineer and City's Traffic Consultant has reviewed the traffic study and finds it
acceptable and the study has been relied on in the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
SECTION 5. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Zone Variance 16-02 in accordance with Rosemead Municipal
Code Section 17.140.040 as follows:
A. There are special circumstances or conditions applicable to the subject property
(such as location, shape, size, surroundings, topography, or other physical features, etc.) that do
not apply generally to other properties in the vicinity under an identical zoning district;
FINDING: The subject site was a former sports field belonging to Don Bosco Technical
Institute. There are special circumstances and conditions applicable to the subject property that
would not apply generally to other residential planned developments in the vicinity under the P-
D zone. Single-family residential lots in the vicinity that would require front yard setbacks abut
and/or face public streets. The subject site is not bounded by any public street and is accessed
only through the existing terminus of Orange Street. In addition, when developed, the front yard
setback of subject site will become the side yard of the three single-family residential lots.
B. Strict compliance with Zoning Code requirements would deprive the subject
property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under an identical zoning
district;
FINDING: Strict compliance with the Zoning Code requirements would deprive the
subject property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under an identical
zoning district as the development is not bounded by any public street. The front yard line is
adjacent to the rear yards of the adjoining residential properties. When developed, the front yard
setback will become the side yard of the three affected single-family residential lots. This would
deprive the subject property of parking and open space privileges that typically would be enjoyed
by other condominium communities serviced by private streets within the P-D zone.
C. Approving the Variance would not constitute a grant of special privilege
inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same vicinity and zone in which the
subject property is situated; and
FINDING: Since the subject site is not bounded by any public street and will be
serviced by private streets, approving the Variance would not constitute a grant of special
privilege inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the same vicinity and zone in
which the subject property is located.
D. The requested Variance would not allow a use or activity that is not otherwise
expressly authorized by the regulations governing the subject parcel.

Cultural Resources
71. Conduct Archaeological Sensitivity Training for Construction Personnel. The Applicant
shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist who meets U.S. Secretary of the
Interior's Professional Qualifications and Standards, to conduct an Archaeological
Sensitivity Training for construction personnel prior to commencement of excavation
activities.The training session shall be carried out by a cultural resources professional with
expertise in archaeology, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional
Qualifications and Standards. The training session will include a handout and will focus on
how to identify archaeological resources that may be encountered during earthmoving
activities and the procedures to be followed in such an event, the duties of archaeological
monitors, and, the general steps a qualified professional archaeologist would follow in
conducting a salvage investigation if one is necessary.
72. Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Implement Treatment Plan if Archaeological
Resources Are Encountered. In the event that archaeological resources are unearthed
during ground-disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted
away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least
50 feet shall be established around the find where construction activities shall not be
allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist has examined the newly discovered
artifact(s) and has evaluated the arca of the find. Work shall be allowed to continue outside
of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities
shall he evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary
of the Interior's Professional Qualifications and Standards. Should the newly discovered
artifacts be determined to be prehistoric, Native American Tribes/Individuals should be
contacted and consulted and Native American construction monitoring should be initiated.
The Applicant and City shall coordinate with the archaeologist to develop an appropriate
treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological
data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource along with subsequent
laboratory processing and analysis.
73. Conduct Periodic Archeological Resources Spot Checks during grading and earth-moving
activities in Younger Alluvial Sediments. The Applicant shall retain a qualified
professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Professional
Qualifications and Standards to conduct periodic Archaeological Spot Checks beginning
at depths below two (2)feet to determine if construction excavations have exposed or have
a high probability to expose archaeological resources. After the initial Archaeological Spot
Check, further periodic checks will be conducted at the discretion of the qualified
16
archaeologist. If the qualified archaeologist determines that construction excavations have
exposed or have a high probability to expose archaeological artifacts construction
monitoring for Archaeological Resources will be required. The Applicant shall retain a
qualified archaeological monitor, who will work under the guidance and direction of a
professional archaeologist, who meets the qualifications set forth by the U.S. Secretary of
the Interior's Professional Qualifications and Standards. The archaeological monitor shall
be present during all construction excavations (e.g., grading, trenching, or
clearing/grubbing) into non-fill younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments. Multiple earth-
moving construction activities may require multiple archaeological monitors. The
frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading activities,
proximity to known archaeological resources,the materials being excavated (native versus
artificial fill soils), and the depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of
archaeological resources encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time
inspections if determined adequate by the project archaeologist.
74. Prepare Report Upon Completion of Monitoring Services. The archaeological monitor,
under the direction of a qualified professional archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary
of the Interior's Professional Qualifications and Standards, shall prepare a final report at
the conclusion of archaeological monitoring. The report shall be submitted to the
Applicant, the South Central Costal Information Center, the City, and representatives of
other appropriate or concerned agencies to signify the satisfactory completion of the project
and required mitigation measures. The report shall include a description of resources
unearthed, if any, evaluation of the resources with respect to the California Register and
CEQA, and treatment of the resources.
75. Conduct Paleontological Sensitivity Training for Construction Personnel. The Applicant
shall retain a professional paleontologist, who meets the qualifications set forth by the
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, shall conduct a Paleontological Sensitivity Training
for construction personnel prior to commencement of excavation activities. The training
will include a handout and will focus on how to identify paleontological resources that may
be encountered during earthmoving activities, and the procedures to be followed in such
an event;the duties of paleontological monitors;notification and other procedures to follow
upon discovery of resources; and, the general steps a qualified professional paleontologist
would follow in conducting a salvage investigation if one is necessary.
76. Conduct Periodic Paleontological Spot Checks during grading and earth-moving activities.
The Applicant shall retain a professional paleontologist, who meets the qualifications set
forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, shall conduct periodic Paleontological
Spot Checks beginning at depths below six(6)feet to determine if construction excavations
have extended into the Miocene Puente Formation or into Pleistocene older alluvial
deposits. After the initial Paleontological Spot Check, further periodic checks will be
conducted at the discretion of the qualified paleontologist. If the qualified paleontologist
determines that construction excavations have extended into the Puente Formation or into
older Pleistocene alluvial deposits, construction monitoring for Paleontological Resources
will be required. The Applicant shall retain a qualified paleontological monitor, who will
work under the guidance and direction of a professional paleontologist, who meets the
17
qualifications set forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. The paleontological
monitor shall be present during all construction excavations (e.g., grading, trenching, or
clearing/grubbing) into the Puente Formation or into older Pleistocene alluvial deposits.
Multiple earth-moving construction activities may require multiple paleontological
monitors. The frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading
activities,proximity to known paleontological resources and/or unique geological features,
the materials being excavated (native versus artificial fill soils), and the depth of
excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of paleontological resources and/or
unique geological features encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time
inspections if determined adequate by the qualified professional paleontologist.
77. Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Implement Treatment Plan if Paleontological
Resources Are Encountered. In the event that paleontological resources and or unique
geological features are unearthed during ground-disturbing activities, ground-disturbing
activities shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can
he evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet shall be established around the find where
construction activities shall not be allowed to continue until appropriate paleontological
treatment plan has been approved by the Applicant and the City. Work shall be allowed to
continue outside of the buffer area. The Applicant and City shall coordinate with a
professional paleontologist, who meets the qualifications set forth by the Society of
Vertebrate Paleontology, to develop an appropriate treatment plan for the resources.
Treatment may include implementation of paleontological salvage excavations to remove
the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis or preservation in
place. At the paleontologist's discretion and to reduce construction delay, the grading and
excavation contractor shall assist in removing rock samples for initial processing.
78. Prepare Report Upon Completion of Monitoring Services. Upon completion of the above
activities, the professional paleontologist shall prepare a report summarizing the results of
the monitoring and salvaging efforts, the methodology used in these efforts, as well as a
description of the fossils collected and their significance. The report shall be submitted to
the Applicant, the City, the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County, and
representatives of other appropriate or concerned agencies to signify the satisfactory
completion of the project and required mitigation measures.
79. Cease Ground-Disturbing Activities and Notify County Coroner If Human Remains Are
Encountered. If human remains are unearthed during implementation of the Proposed
Project,the City of Rosemead and the Applicant shall comply with State Health and Safety
Code Section 7050.5. The City of Rosemead and the Applicant shall immediately notify
the County Coroner and no further disturbance shall occur until the County Coroner has
made the necessary findings as to origin and disposition pursuant to PRC Section 5097.98.
If the remains are determined to be of Native American descent, the coroner has 24 hours
to notify the Native American Heritage Commission (NAHC). The NAHC shall then
identify the person(s) thought to be the Most Likely Descendent (MLD). After the MLD
has inspected the remains and the site, they have 48 hours to recommend to the landowner
the treatment and/or disposal, with appropriate dignity, the human remains and any
associated funerary objects. Upon the reburial of the human remains, the MLD shall file a
18
record of the reburial with the NAHC and the project archaeologist shall file a record of
the reburial with the CHRIS-SCCIC. If the NAHC is unable to identify a MLD, or the
MLD identified fails to make a recommendation, or the landowner rejects the
recommendation of the MLD and the mediation provided for in Subdivision (k) of Section
5097.94, if invoked, fails to provide measures acceptable to the landowner, the landowner
or his or her authorized representative shall inter the human remains and items associated
with Native American human remains with appropriate dignity on the property in a location
not subject to further and future subsurface disturbance.
Noise
80. The following measures are required to ensure that project-related short-term construction
noise levels are reduced to less-than-significant levels. Prior to issuance of demolition
permits, a noise mitigation plan verifying that compliance with the following measures
would reduce construction noise to within the allowable levels of 65 dBA for residential
uses. Should construction noise exceed allowable levels after implementation of the
following measures,the use of sound curtains or other noise barriers shall be required. The
noise mitigation plan shall identify the type and location of sound curtains or other noise
barriers to be utilized to reduce construction noise to within allowable levels.
• Stationary construction noise sources such as generators or pumps must be located
