NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD
HEREBY FINDS,DECLARES,AND RECOMMENDS AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby makes a finding of adequacy with the Mitigated
Negative Declaration and HEREBY ADOPTS the Mitigated Negative Declaration, as the
environmental clearance for Design Review 16-02 and Conditional Use Permit 16-01.
SECTION 2. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Design Review 16-02 in accordance with Section 17.28.020(C) 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 development is located within a Commercial land use
designation. The applicant has provided a design of high aesthetic quality, which in Staff's
determination will improve the aesthetics of the intersection. The proposed project is consistent
with the Goal 2, Policy 2.7 of the Land Use Element of the City's General Plan in that the goal
and policy call for establishing and applying architectural design review to new commercial
development.
B. The plan for the proposed building 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: To ensure that the surrounding properties are protected against noise,
2
vibrations, and other factors, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
specifically addresses mitigation measures. All new lighting will be fully shielded and directed
downwards to mitigate glare on adjacent properties. Conditions of approval have been
incorporated to eliminate adverse effects on the environment as a result of the proposed project.
This development will not generate any permanent impacts to noise levels for the surrounding
area. All construction work will be required to comply with the timeframe, and decibel levels
indicated in the City's Noise Ordinance. Conditions of approval will specifically address factors
such as noise, construction hours, screening of mechanical equipment, landscaping, lighting, 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 project will improve the aesthetics of the corner by
establishing a new hotel development of high architectural quality. The improvements to the site
will provide a marked improvement over the existing appearance of the intersection of Ivar
Avenue and Glendon Way.
The proposed design of the hotel is consistent with the contemporary design of the
Hampton Inn and Suites. The applicant proposes to apply various types of materials to the
exterior walls of the commercial building to break-up the building's profile. According to the
colored renderings, the applicant is proposing a mixture of earth toned exterior smooth stucco
finish throughout all building elevations. The building cornice will be smoothly finished in an
off-white color. Shades of brown colored stone veneer will be incorporated into the entry
treatment and porte cochere. In addition, the applicant is proposing to incorporate 'h" horizontal
reveals along all elevations. As proposed, the project will not negatively change the appearance
of the surrounding built environment.
Notwithstanding this, the approved design will create a development that is an aesthetic
upgrade over the surrounding area and that has the potential to enhance land values in the general
area. This is due to the proposed new building facade with higher quality materials, a design that
blends better with the area, and greatly improved landscaping and parking lot area.
D. The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments
on land in the general area, especially in 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 property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan or land
reserved for public or educational use, so there is no special need to create harmony with the
general area. Notwithstanding this, the approved design will create a development that is an
aesthetic upgrade over the surrounding area and that has the potential to enhance land values in
the general area. This is due to the proposed new building facade with higher quality materials,a
3
design that blends better with the area, and greatly improved landscaping and parking lot area.
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; and
FINDING: This proposed development meets all of the code requirements for the C-
3/D-0 zone, hotel specific requirements, and all applicable referenced code sections of the
Rosemead Municipal Code.
F. The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping,
luminaires 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: Access to the site will be provided via two driveways along Glendon Way
and Ivar Avenue. The subject site will have a total of 125 surface parking spaces, which
includes 95 standard parking spaces, 20 compact spaces, five RV parking spaces, and five
handicapped parking spaces.
New exterior lighting is proposed for the property. New wall mounted fixtures will be
placed along the front, side, and rear of the building. New light standards will be installed in the
parking lot area. All new lighting will be fully shielded and directed downwards to mitigate
glare on adjacent properties.
The proposed design of the hotel is consistent with the contemporary design of the
Hampton Inn and Suites. The applicant proposes to apply various types of materials to the
exterior walls of the commercial building to break-up the building's profile. According to the
colored renderings, which will be available to view at the Planning Commission meeting, the
applicant is proposing a mixture of earth toned exterior smooth stucco finish throughout all
building elevations. The building cornice will be smoothly finished in an off-white color.
Shades of brown colored stone veneer will be incorporated into the entry treatment and porte
cocherc. In addition, the applicant is proposing to incorporate '/" horizontal reveals along all
elevations. As proposed, the project will not negatively change the appearance of the
surrounding built environment.
SECTION 3. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Conditional Use Permit 16-01 in accordance with Rosemead
Municipal Code Section 17.132.040 as follows
A. Approval of the application will not be incompatible or injurious to other
properties or land uses in the vicinity or create conditions materially detrimental to the public
health, safety, and general welfare;
FINDING: The proposed use will not be incompatible or injurious to the other properties
as a hotel is a use that may be conditionally permitted within the C-3 zone. The City has
completed an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed mixed use
4
project pursuant to Section 15070(6) 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.
The applicant has provided a design of high aesthetic quality, which in Staffs
determination will improve the aesthetics of the intersection. All new lighting will be fully
shielded and directed downwards to mitigate glare on adjacent properties. Conditions of
approval have been incorporated to eliminate adverse effects on the environment as a result of
the proposed project. This development will not generate any permanent impacts to noise levels
for the surrounding area. All construction work will be required to comply with the timeframe,
and decibel levels indicated in the City's Noise Ordinance. Conditions of approval will
specifically address factors such as traffic, noise, construction hours, screening of mechanical
equipment, landscaping, lighting, and the overall maintenance of the property.
B. The use is consistent with the General Plan;
FINDING: The proposed development is located within a Commercial land use
designation. Per the Land Use Element of the Genera] plan, businesses in Rosemead's
commercial districts contribute substantially to the City's tax revenue. For this reason, a hotel
may be developed up to a maximum permitted FAR of 1.0:1 if their projects include higher
design standards. In addition, Goal 2 of the Land Use Element aims to expand opportunities for
concentrated commercial and industrial uses that contribute jobs and tax revenues to the
community.
C. The use is consistent with the provisions of this Zoning Code;
FINDING: This proposed development meets all of the code requirements for the C-3/D-
0 zone, hotel specific requirements, and all applicable referenced code sections of the Rosemead
Municipal Code.
D. Processing and approval of the permit application are in compliance with the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act; and
The City of Rosemead acting as a Lead Agency, 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 Initial Study has been undertaken to
dstermine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial
Study was prepared and completed by Phil Martin & Associates, Inc., acting as a consultant to
the City, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines. On
the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project would have
significant impact, unless mitigated, therefore a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND)
was prepared. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per
CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code
section 65962.5. The proposed project is not considered a project of statewide, regional or area-
5
wide significance and would not affect highways or other facilities under the jurisdiction of the
State of California Department of Transportation.
E. If development is provided for under the Conditional Use Permit, the project is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the applicable standards and Design Guidelines in
the overlying district.
FINDING: The subject site is not located in an overlying district with Design
Guidelines. However, the proposed design of the hotel is consistent with the contemporary
design of the Hampton Inn and Suites. The applicant proposes to apply various types of
materials to the exterior walls of the commercial building to break-up the building's profile.
According to the colored renderings, which will be available to view at the Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant is proposing a mixture of earth toned exterior smooth stucco
finish throughout all building elevations. The building cornice will be smoothly finished in an
off-white color. Shades of brown colored stone veneer will be incorporated into the entry
treatment and parte cochere. In addition, the applicant is proposing to incorporate '/" horizontal
reveals along all elevations.
In addition, the proposed project is consistent with the Goal 2, Policy 2.7 of the Land
Use Element of the City's General Plan in that the goal and policy call for establishing and
applying architectural design review to new commercial development.
SECTION 4. The City Council HEREBY APPROVES Design Review 16-02 and
Conditional Use Permit 16-01 for the construction of a new Hampton Inn & Suites with 123
guest rooms, subject to the Conditions of Approval.
SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and hereafter

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.
61. 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 project developer, 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.
62. The project developer shall retain a professional paleontologist, who meets the
qualifications set forth by the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, to 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.
63. The project developer 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 project developer shall retain a qualified
paleontological monitor, who will work under the guidance and direction of a professional
paleontologist, who meets the 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
15
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.
64. 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 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 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 project developer and the 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.
65. 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 project developer, 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.
66. If human remains are unearthed during implementation of the project, the City of
Rosemead and the project developer shall comply with State Health and Safety Code
Section 7050.5. The City of Rosemead and the project developer 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
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.
