4. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Appeal of Design Review 17-02: 3940 Rosemead Boulevard
Recommendation: That the City Council uphold the Planning Commission's
decision to deny Design Review 17-02 and adopt Resolution No. 2017-37
(Attachment A).
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, DENYING DESIGN REVIEW 17-02, A
REQUEST TO RE-IMAGE AN EXISTING 15-FOOT TALL
FREESTANDING SIGN FROM TWO INDIVIDUAL DOUBLE-
FACE CABINENT SIGNS TO A DOUBLE-SIDED SINGLE
PANEL ELECTRONIC LED MESSAGE BOARD. THE
SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT 3940 ROSEMEAD
BOULEVARD IN THE CENTAL BUSINESS DISTRICT WITH
DESIGN OVERLAY(CBD/D-O)ZONE(APN: 8594-008-039).
Assistant Planner Lao reported the Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing for Design Review 17-02 for a request to re-image an existing 15-foot tall
freestanding sign from two individual double-face cabinet signs, to a double-sided
single panel electronic Light Emitting Diode(LED)message board. Staff requested
the City Council to uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny the
applicant's Design Review 17-02.
Mayor Low opened the public hearing at 7:26 p.m.
Michael Ehrenberger, representative of Leader USA explained there were two
reasons the request was denied from the Planning Commission. First was
illumination brightness,then the flashing and changing of images. He continued to
explain other cities have adopted dimming capabilities of the signs which addresses
illumination concerns. As for the flashing concerns,the City codes allow for a time
and temp LED digital board similar to the requested LED digital board of the
Rosemead City Council and the Successor Agency to
the Rosemead Community Development Commission Joint Meeting
Minutes of August 8, 2017

applicant. He requested a continuance of the public hearing to allow for a
presentation of the boards before the City Council.
Adrian Castafieda, applicant, spoke about neon sign illumination and clarified
concerns expressed by the Planning Commission. He demonstrated with a letter
signage the light illumination and the type of flashing being requested.
Council Member Armenta asked what the municipal code stated regarding digital
signs.
Assistant Planner Lao replied the municipal code did not have a definition for a
sign flashing.
Brian Lewin,objected to the applicant's signage request and supported the Planning
Commission's denial. He stated the applicant had periodically used a patronizing
and inappropriate tone in reference to staff and the commission in their submitted
documents and in their letter of appeal. Including, the implication that staff must
prove their case for recommending the denial, rather than the applicant justifying
why staff should grant exceptions to the code. The scientific backup information
provided to the commission was given during their meeting,and the appeal claimed
the commission's decision was based on opinion. He also suggested the items
presented to the City Council could be useful in researching the potential regulation
to incorporate into an updated sign code. In conclusion,he advised the City Council --.
to accept both staffs and Planning Commission recommendation to deny the
signage application.
Mayor Low closed the public hearing at 7:35 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tem Ly asked staff when the Planning Division was going to update the
zoning relating to digital signs.
Interim Community Development Director Valenzuela replied staff was currently
working with the City Attorney to create a revised ordinance to update the code by
next year.
Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated the reason staff recommended a denial of the project was
due to the land use interpretation of the code by the City Attorney. He asked City
Attorney Richman what the rationale of the interpretation of the code was.
City Attorney Richman explained the project was received by her office with staff s
interpretation of the code. Cities are given the discretion to interpret their own codes
in a reasonable way. She reiterated that flashing interpreted by staff was based on
the city's code and it was defined as something changing, or changing that is
moving or flashing.
Interim Community Development Director Valenzuela added the applicant was
proposing to change a slide every 10 seconds.

Mayor Pro Tern Ly clarified, flashing was interpreted by staff as something that
changed in general, such as a school sign displaying informational updates.
Furthermore, agreed with Mr. Lewin's statements with the exception on the
applicant asking staff to justify their opinions. Regardless of whom the applicant is
or the position,they should be able to request explanations from staff, Council,and
or a Commission regarding city policies and interpretations.
Council Member Armenta stated the applicant's letter of appeal stated the denial
was based on staffs opinion, which was inaccurate by the applicant.
Council Member Clark expressed concerns there was no mitigation plan with a
flashing signs affecting residents near the business.
Mayor Low agreed and added the sign could affect nearby residents and pedestrians
walking by.
Mayor Pro Tern Ly stated the Planning Commission did not fail on their initial vote.
They conducted their due diligence with all the research, took testimonials and
came to a conclusion the sign did not fit the fabric of the City. He added the sign
code should be updated,there should be a way to have digital signs where it's safe.
ACTION: Moved by Council Member Clark and seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Ly
to uphold the Planning Commission's decision to deny Design Review 17-02 and
adopt Resolution No. 2017-37. Motion was carried by the following vote: AYES:

Brian Lewin, resident, expressed concerns with appropriating additional funds to
the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan, considering the time spent on the specific plan
and cost. Furthermore, he expressed reservations on the proposed changes to the
buildings frontage percentage requirement from 75 percent to an optional 25 to 75
percent for mix use projects larger than one acre. He added, a core principal of the
specific plan was keeping cars and parking lots away from the public view and
creating a beautified frontage. He suggested the revised plan include verbiage to
require decorative elements to completely shield any parking from public view for
a minimum of 75 percent when combined with the structures and any project opting
for such approach would be subject to design review.
Mayor Pro Tern Ly explained an architect expressed last minute concerns while
going through a pre application process for a key project.
Mayor Low interjected the City Manager suggested trying out the Garvey Specific
Plan with a real project, therefore prompting the architect to express some issues.
Mayor Pro Tem Ly stated when architect Simon Lee submitted the project, he
realized there were significant issues which conflicted with the Garvey Avenue
Specific Plan proposal. After consulting with staff, the Garvey Avenue Specific
Plan Ad Hoc Committee decided to incorporate some of Mr. Lee's concerns. In
addition, there was frontage of building concerns brought by Mr. Lee that would
decrease ingress and egress on his building site. As a result, ingress and egress
would go on the residential side of the street which would bottle neck traffic. By
reducing the frontage percentage, many issues were addressed in the specific plan.
Staff would continue to work with MIG Inc. to incorporate revisions.
Mayor Low reiterated a long section of Garvey Avenue would have projects pushed
towards the street, creating a tunnel err- There should be a mixture of different
designs with decorative frontage.
Council Member Armenta asked staff if the concerns shared by the architect had
been brought before to the Ad-Hoc Committee initially, would there have been an
increase in cost.
interim Community Development Director Valenzuela explained it was not until
Mr. Lee submitted his plans that MIG Inc. conducted a consistency check which
resulted in unforeseen issues. The consistency check assisted staff in seeing some
changes were needed to help future architects.
Council Member Armenta reiterated that if the concerns brought up by the architect
were ever brought up at the committee meetings,they could have been addressed.
City Manager Manis explained it was best to address issues during the initial
process rather than at the final stages of the specific plan. Staff was able to observe
how each element of the specific plan worked with the plans the architect
submitted, prompting staff to make observations.

National Night Out event. In addition, recognized Public Safety Supervisor Wong

Mayor Pro Tern Ly stated the flag at Garvey Center needed replacement and should
not be flown until a new flag is installed. Also, he spoke about bulky item issues
recurring and requested that a new program be put in place that could eliminate the

park to present to the Parks Commission at their first meeting.
Council Member Armenta asked for the shopping cart issues to also be included in
the program.
City Manager Manis clarified there had been a substantial increase in bulky item
issues in the City and staff was working on addressing ongoing issues. In addition,
a formal program could address specific bulky items concerns. Lastly, staff had
identified two sites for a potential dog park and would determine if a budget would
be required.
Mayor Pro Tem Ly suggested if funding is needed, the new lobbying firm could
search for money for open space.
Council Member Clark shared Congresswoman Judy Chu recently honored her
collaborative group with a building bridges award for working with the San Gabriel
Mountains National Monument. Former President Obama declared the area a
national monument and the current President is proposing to eliminate that
designation. Council Member Clark stated she had opposed the monument due its
potential effect on our water supply from the San Gabriel River. But due to their
opposition, she and others were asked to serve on a collaborative. We have
representatives from many points of view and have worked together as a
collaborative group along with the national forest for 2 Vs years regarding the
monument. The collaborative group is determined to keep the monument and hopes
Congress does not close the monument.
Council Member Armenta reported the traffic left hand turn signal light westbound
side of Valley Boulevard and Temple City Boulevard was dim and asked staff to
inspect the signal. She also expressed concerns with the esthetics of the area
between the City of Rosemead and El Monte. She explained you can see the
difference when leaving the City of El Monte and entering Rosemead. She
requested staff to look in to finding ways to assist local businesses in beautifying
their properties. Lastly, she asked staff to speak to Target about their shopping cart
locking mechanism.
City Manager Manis stated he had spoken to the Target store manager regarding
the shopping cart issue.
