CC - Item 3C - Staff Report – Proposed Vacation of a Public Alley Between Hellman and Hershey M stat eport TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER ✓ DATE: APRIL 14, 1998 RE: VAC 98-01: PROPOSED VACATION OF A PUBLIC ALLEY BETWEEN HELLMAN AND HERSHEY, EAST OF DEL MAR APPLICANT: NORMAN WONG The City has received a request for the vacation of an existing public alley from Norman Wong(Chinese for Christ church). The proposal calls for the existing public alley to be blocked off and utilized for expansion of the church parking lot. The Planning Commission considered the request and determined (PC Resolution 98-7, attached)that the request was not in conformity with the City's General Plan Circulation Element and recommended that the City Council not approve the vacation. If the Council wishes to proceed, the next step is to adopt the attached Resolution of Intention. This Resolution merely sets the public hearing to consider the request. If the Council wishes to follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission, it may summarily reject the vacation proposal without going forward to a public hearing. The alternatives the Council has are: 1. Move to abandon vacation proceedings based upon the Planning Commission's determination that the vacation is not in conformity with City's General Plan Circulation Element; or 2. Adopt Resolution No. 98-11, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD EXPRESSING THE CITY COUNCIL'S INTENTION TO VACATE A PUBLIC ALLEY (between Hellman and Hershey). This would set a public hearing on the matter for May 12, 1998.

WHEREAS, Mr. Norman Wong, P.O. Box 1888, Monterey Park, CA 91754, submitted an application to vacate a public right-of-way on November 10, 1997; and WHEREAS, The proposed vacation is generally located 140 feet north of Hershey Street between Hellman Avenue and Hershey Street, east of Del Mar Avenue; and WHEREAS, Section 8313 of the Streets and Highway Code of California requires the local planning commission to report on a proposed vacation; and WHEREAS, Section 65402 of the Government Code of California authorizes the Planning Commission to review and report on actions as they pertain to the goals and objectives of the city's general plan; and WHEREAS, Section 65302 of the Government Code of California requires all local jurisdictions to include a circulation element as part of the city's general plan; and WHEREAS, Rosemead City Council adopted Resolution 87-48 on November 24, 1987 adopting the City of Rosemead General Plan which includes a Circulation Element; and WHEREAS, Rosemead's Planning Commission is responsible for reporting its findings on a recommendation for the overall layout of the circulation system in the City of Rosemead; and WHEREAS, on February 2, 1998, the Planning Commission reviewed this request and sufficiently considered all testimony presented in order to make the following determination. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead as follows: SECTION 1.

The request is for an assessor), structure, a small parking lot. Section 15311 of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) exempts such projects from environmental review under a Class 11 exemption. Case VAC 98-01 is Categorically exempt pursuant to Section 15311 of CEQA. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that the proposed vacation of a portion of an existing public alley for public street purposes, is not in conformity with the Circulation Element of the Rosemead General Plan as required by Section 65402 of the Government Code of California. Hellman Avenue is designated as a collector street on Figure CIR-1 of the Circulation Element. This right-of-way located off of Hellman Avenue is currently used as a public alley for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This specific alley is not addressed in the Circulation Element, however, the proposed vacation is not in conformance with any of the goals or policies set out in Section 3.0 of the Circulation Element. Goal No. 1 of the Circulation Element is to "Insure the free movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic throughout the City." Vacating this alley would hinder the free movement of both pedestrians and vehicles. SECTION A. The Planning Commission HEREBY RECOMMENDS that the City Council DENY any further vacation proceedings in the manner prescribed in the Street Vacation Act of 1941 for property shown on Exhibit "B", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and described as follows: • PC Resolution No.98-7 Street Vacation 98-01 Page 2 of 3 LEGAL DESCRIPTION: Parcel 1: THE WESTERLY 10 FEET OF THAT PORTION OF THE ALLEY ADJACENT TO LOTS 6 THROUGH 11, INCLUSIVE OF TRACT NO, 7353, IN THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA,AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 99 PAGES 27 AND 28 OF MAPS,IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY;BOUNDED NORTHERLY BY THE EASTERLY PROLONGATION OF THE NORTHERLY LINE OF LOT 6 OF SAID TRACT AND BOUNDED SOUTHERLY BY THE EASTERLY PROLONGATION OF THE SOUTHERLY6 LINE OF LOT 11 OF SAID TRACT, Parcel 2: THE EASTERLY 10 FEET OF THAT PORTION OF THE ALLEY ADJACENT TO LOT 77 OF 1RACT NO 7353,IN THE CITY OFROSEMEA,COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES,STATE OF CALIFORNIA,AS PER MAP RECORDED IN BOOK 99 PAGES 27 AND 28 OF MAPS,IN TITS OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF SAID COUNTY; BOUNDED NORTI-IERLY BY THE WESTERLY PROLONGATION OF THE NORTHERLY LINE OF SAID LOT AND BOUNDED SOUTHERLY BY THE WESTERLY PROLONGATION OF THE SOUTHERLY LINE OF SAID LOT SECTION 4.

Upon further investigation, and with concerns from the County of Los Angeles Sheriffs Department, the vacation of said alley would effect emergency capabilities of the County of Los Angeles Fire Department. If public alley is vacated, the impact could eliminate the ability to turn fire apparatus around if the thoroughfare is blocked, creating a dead end without a turn around area. Existing structures to the north of 3342 Del Mar Avenue, have limited access due to the close proximity to the side lot lines, making front and rear access more desirable. This letter supersedes letter dated December 22, 1997, the vacation of thoroghfare/ alley.

Sergeant Wallace has indicated that the granting of this request might possibly effect the abilities of public safety services to respond to the businesses and apartments that surround the alley in question. Although there is adequate access to the building in question from other directions, creating a narrow cul-de-sac will impinge upon the abilities of law enforcement personnel to appropriately deploy around the buildings in the event of a law enforcement emergency. I also believe that emergency fire response would be similarly effected. Narrow cul-de-sacs, such as what would be created, are always officer safety concerns for law enforcement personnel. Based on the above concerns I would recommend denial of the subject vacation. If you have any questions you may contact Sergeant Wallace at(626) 292-3341. Sincerely, SHERMAN BLOCK, SHERIFF' t � Jon Engebretsen, Captain Commander, Temple Station Urad'Ir'on f(Service PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 2 of 13 1998, Planning Commission meeting, to allow sufficient time for additional background information on the applicant. There being no objection, this item was deferred to the February 17, 1998 meeting. B. VACATION 9R-01 - Alley Vacation - Mr. Norman Wong of Chinese For Christ, Inc., Rosemead, requests to vacate and abandon for public street purposes a portion of an alley right of way located approximately 140 feet north of Hershey Street between Hellman Avenue and Hershey Street. Mr. Lyons presented the Staff Memorandum. The site consists of two (2) parcels that are separated by a 20 foot wide public alley. There are currently four (4) additional separate parcels that are adjacent to this alley. The first parcel fronts on Del Mar Avenue and consists of a parking lot and a sanctuary. The second lot fronts on Hershey Street and contains a two-story seminary building and library. Conditional Use Permit No. 12 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 18, 1967. This permit allowed the expansion of an existing church, and the construction of a new Sunday School building for the Church of the Nazarene. Chinese for Christ Church purchased the two (2) parcels in 1984, and has operated a church facility at this location since that time. Conditional Use Permit 87-369 was initially approved by the Planning Commission on April 20, 1987. This granted approval for a two-story library addition to the existing social/Sunday school room. This addition was never constructed and the permit has since expired. Staff site inspection revealed that the church needed cleaning up of both the sanctuary and the parking lot area. The parking lot needed repair, resurfacing and restriping. Staff suggested for the applicant to submit a restriping plan so as not to allow vehicles to back out onto a public sidewalk, as what exists now. It was at this point that the church showed interest in the alley vacation. Their request is to be able to fence off their property to create a better parking lot circulation pattern and to keep neighboring residents from dumping trash and debris onto their property. The current alley is 20 feet wide by 270 feet long and runs between Hellman Avenue and Hershey Street. The request is to vacate the southern half of this alley to Chinese for Christ Church. The Church is requesting this vacatiion to easily secure their property and provide better on-site circulation and parking. A vacation of the alley raises questions of blockage and inadequate turning radius for large trucks. In addition, the Sheriffs Department has indicated that public safety could be hindered because of access limitations created by a dead end alley. If implemented, it would benefit the church but would not be in the best interest of the public nor the neighboring property and business owners. Staff feels that putting up wrought iron fences with sliding gates would be better in securing the premises. In addition, staff requests that the applicant adhere to their original conditions of approval requiring that the parking lot be re-striped and re-paved, with plans to be submitted to the Planning Department. Staff therefore recommended that the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that Vacation 98-01 be denied, and that a finding of consistency with the Geneal Plan cannot be found in the affirmative at this time. It was ascertained that the applicant for this item was in the audience. Questions from the Commissioners to Staff: None. Verbatim dialogue begins: Chairman Loi: Public Hearing is opened. Anyone wish to speak in support of this agenda, please come forward to the microphone. Please spell your first name, last name and address. Norman Wong: I reside at 565 Jade Tree Drive, Monterey Park. Chairman Loi, Members of the Commission, City Attorney and Director Lyons. My name is Norman Wong, I am the Vice- PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 3 of 13 Chairman on the Board of Directors for the Chinese for Christ organization. We have a number of people that are present here today but in the interest of time, I have asked them not to speak but I would like to acknowledge that they are here in support of our proposal. May I ask them to stand and just acknowledge that they are here. (There were about fifteen people who stood up.) Thank you. Our organization was incorporated in 1959, and we have been in existence for forty years. Our primary work is to help service local churches, help them to grow and once they are able to financially stand on their own, then we allow them to go independent. That's one of our work. The second one is that we have a seminary which is a post graduate school in teaching and educating ministers and ministers to be. We're approved by the State Board of Education in post seminary education work to allow us to confer master's degree and doctor's degree, as well as, PH.D. By the way, our chief executive officer is here with us also and I would like to introduce her as well. Her name is Dr. Sophie Wong. I would like to ask her to stand. (Dr. Wong stood up to be recognized.) By the way. Sophie is also a member elected to the Board of Alhambra School Board of Education. I understand that that also covers part of the Rosemead, as well. Our property was purchased in 1984 and for all these years that we have been using it we are very concerned with the safety. We have a burglar alarm installed in the property. And there's nuisance a month ago without the alarms being set on and with several calls made to the police department. But what is even more stressful to us is that we have not received any kind of response from the police department to indicate that they have ever responded to any of these calls. We have a record of number of calls from the alarm company. We are also very concerned about the children who attend church they come out of the social hall which is directly adjacent to this alley. And we have many occassions they have to scramble out of the way because the cars were speeding right through in the middle of the crowd. We are very concerned about their safety. Our parking lot has been used for clandestine meetings. One of the examples was that last week, I met with Sgt. Wallace, I was there early and there was two cars waiting with two men sitting waiting for something in the car. And as soon as Sgt. Wallace approaches in his police car, they just sped off immediately. And also one of our problems is that it's also being used for parking lot. We have all the time large big trucks that park in our property and many occasions, fleet of taxis are parked in our lot. And our lot is being used for the neighborhoods' dump. On a regular basis, we have to clean up old refrigerators, old sofas, and about six months ago, we had fifty two old tires dumped in our lot. And in addition to having to pay for moving it out, we have to pay the dump $3.00 each because it is a hazardous waste. And this has been a regular problem to clean up the yard. For all these years, we have pretty much suffered in silence. We really need some relief. And we feel that these problems are not caused by us. We really need some help from the City to see if we can resolve this. We would really like to have the alley closed. If we are able to close the alley we're able to put a fence all the way around the property which would prevent all these problems from happening. At this time, I would like to ask our architect and also engineer who are also here to make that presentation as to what we would do if we had the alley closed. I ask that they would come and present that and ask Chairman to allow me to come back and finish my comment. Chairman Loi: Go ahead. Please state your first name, last name and address. Daphne Fan: Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Daphne Fan, address is 13501 Tracy Street, Baldwin Park. We know an open area really create a lot of security problems for the church. This project will not only to solve the security problem for the children but also help to improve the safety for the neighborhood. (Ms. Fan distributed copies of the parking layout.) We also submit the new parking layout, electric and landscaping layout to the Planning Department to improve the neighborhood. We request the Commissioners to consider and approve the project. Thank you. Norman Wong: The architect and the engineer will be here to answer any questions if you have any questions later. In response to the staff report, I think you have in your packet, I have seven signatures of our immediate neighbors around our church. These are the people who live there, these are the people who see the conditions from day to day and they are aware of our problems, and they are aware that this is not just the church problem. They feel that if we enclose the property that this will help in preventing the drug dealers from dealing over there which is not only affects the church which also affects the whole community. And they feel that they see and they hear the cars PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 4 of 13 going speeding through the alley and they feel the safety of the pea*who is also a public concern not just for our church. They also would like very much for us to kale to complete our plans and this to them, would improve the neighborhood. And I think the neijborhood pride is also a matter of public concern. So I ask the Commission to please consider all base facts very carefully. We ask that you consider all our problems and consider that this is not onlyour problem, I think the City also has some responsibility in giving all the property owners somekind of protection, reasonable protection. So I ask that you make this decision and allow us to clue the alley that we will solve our problems and this is very important to us and its great impact tithe survival of our church. I thank you for listening and I thank you for your patience. Commissioner Breen: Mr. Wong. Norman Wong: Yes. Commissioner Breen: One quick question. You mentioned you called the Sheriff's office many times or several times and they have never responded? They norm.by have good response. Norman Wong: What happens is that the alarm company calk tern directly and the alarm company would call me. They say they call them (meaning the Sheriffs Dept.) twice, they say they call them three times but I never had any response from the Sheriffs Dept. Commissioner Breen: You have never called them yourself? Norman Wong: I really don't know whom to call. Commissioner Breen: 911 usually gets through. Norman Wong: Anyway. I have not had any contact with the poli dept. as to whether they had any indication, whether they had even been aware of the problems. !did talk to Sgt. Wallace just last week he said he'll put some patrol checks but I have not heard Isom him. Chairman Loi: I'd like very much to step in. Can you answer lhegsestion about the response to this service or problem? What is the turn around time when one nik for service? Peter Lyons: The average turn around time for request for the Sheriff's Department? Chairman Loi: Yes. Peter Lyons: It depends on what part of town it is. Jeff Stewart: Yes, we can check the dates. If you have the dates, you an call me and we can check the tapes and find out what the response was. They tape all the conventions that are coming to the Sheriffs Department. Norman Wong: Yes, Sgt.Wallace also told me that. Jeff Stewart: Yes, if you have specific dates that you called if you don't know if you receive a response or whatever. Norman Wong: I can not recall it myself but I'm sure the alarm =patty will have that. Peter Lyons: Norman, if you would want to give me those dates,■e can give it to the Sheriffs Department and find out. Chairman Loi: Commissioners, any question to the applicant? • PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 5 of 13 Vice-Chairman Ruiz: Mr. Chairman. Chairman Loi: Vice-Chairman Ruiz. Vice-Chairman Ruiz: As Commissioner Breen has stated, or you stated Mr. Wong that you had indication to discuss whatever the situation with Sgt. Wallace. What was the reason that he was there in the first place. Was he responding to an issue? Norman Wong: No, this was included in the staff report that Sgt. Wallace is the only one who objected to our closure of the alley and I was meeting him to discuss our problem and not to respond to anything. Vice-Chairman Ruiz: In other words, he was just looking at the alley. Mr. Wong, another question, there's a school on the next street is that alley being used exclusively by the children going back and forth to the school? Norman Wong: I don't believe so. I seldom see any children walking, are you saying walking trying to cross Hershey to Hellman? I have seldom seen any pedestrians going through the alley except for the people who may be living in the area I have not seen any pedestrians as a group to go through there. Vice-Chairman Ruiz: That's all I have to ask. Chairman Loi: Any more questions Commissioners to the applicant? Thank you very much, Mr. Wong. Anyone else wish to speak in support of this agenda, please come forward. None. Anyone wish to speak in opposition of this item, please come forward. Please state your first name, last name, address please. Jon Yates: My name is Jon Yates, address is 3358 N. Del Mar Avenue, Rosemead. I am the owner of a grocery store almost on the corner there near Del Mar and Hellman. We came to object by blocking off the alley as it's going to make it quite a lot of a problem for my business. We have trash trucks using the alley, I have large delivery trucks that use the alley. If he blocks off the alley, that means they're going to have to back out onto Hellman which is a bad area as it is right now, probably one of unsafest areas because you come up a hill and you can't see anybody coming out of that street as it is. To do this would create quite a lot of a problems. Quite a few of my customers and quite a few of the children who go to school use that alley, I see them everyday because I'm there everyday. I would say 25 to 30 kids use that alley back and forth, as well as, 100 to 150 of my customers who use that alley to come to my store because it's so unsafe out on Del Mar Avenue because the traffic is moving so fast and the sidewalk is not that large. Go ahead and close off the alley, but I think, it would really be detrimental to the area there. It would really upset everything there. Thank you. Chairman Loi: Any question for Mr. Yates? None, thank you. Anyone else would like to speak in opposition to this item? Please state your first name, last name and address. Bill Scruggs: Yes, my name is Bill Scruggs, I live at 7821 Hellman Avenue on north of his store. I look at that parking lot everyday. I've been there for approximately 14 years. I've been through the area when it was bad, and I've been through the area when it's good, that alley way there is a thorough fare for trucks, traffic and also the police use it to transfer whatever they're going to be doing. Also, as far as drugs are concerned, other things if you could sense there, if you could go over there and take a look at it yourself, if you look at it you'll see that it's kind of dark because one light is covered because of a tree. And I think you'd have more drug traffic more than anything else. Also if the police would like to go and patrol that area, there's no way for them to go through there. Also, as far as fire hazard, I would really, really, please excuse me I'm sorry I'm not use to speaking in front of you. I would say a fire lane would be necessary for all businesses there. If you would look at the map, the map is kind of distorted because it really doesn't show you what's PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 6 of 13 going on Hellman Avenue is basically a race track. And I really hate to see a truck back out of there during day time hours. It would really be detrimental to the traffic. Like I said, I live right acrosss the street, I have problems myself with the traffic all the time. I go over his store and I go through that area to stay away from Hellman Avenue as much as I possibly can. I see kids go through there and all the time as well I never sat down and count them. I just found out about this proposal this very recently. My suggestion is as far as hot rodders going through that area I would put up some speed bumps. That would slow them down. I also would put up some signs and I would put up some more lights. I think that would probably cut down on people hanging around there. It would make it more visible, get rid of maybe a tree or two. If you have nothing to hide behind, those people aren't going to hang around and do what they're not supposed to be doing. Other than that, I really do not have too much to say about it. Thank you for your time. Chairman Loi: Thank you. Any one else who wish to speak in opposition to this agenda, please come forward. Peter Wong: My name is Peter Wong. address is 1507 So. Marguerita Avenue, #C in Alhambra. Ladies and gentlemen, I am the property owner on the corner of Del Mar and Hellman. I would say the southeast corner. We are here to oppose the closing off of the alley, I just have a simple diagram here (showing the diagram to the Commissioners), the property exits to my property, next to it is a store for air-conditioning. and beside that is an apartment building. So it's nice and dandy for the church they own a whole piece of property and they close it off and secure the property, but what about me? I have a parking lot there also. I share the same problem as he does. Occasionally people do dump sofas and I have even at one time had a boat dumped on my parking lot, too. You know. So we all get the same problem, so he can close it off and be secure and nice. Traffic now comes through this way as you can see there's only 150 ft from the corner of Del Mar to the alley way and during many occassions, cars would be lining up on Hellman stopped by the signal light and if all the traffic come out this way, they will have a difficult time in making a left turn and wait and also there are many screeching halts that come to this intersection here with many cars trying to make a left turn onto Del Mar so if this is the only way to come out through the alley to serve my other people or the other residents or patrons of the store, it will terribly hinder the flow of traffic where as they can take a safe route going down to Hershey and come around. And I believe, that's the purpose of the alley when it was first designed, was to alleviate the turning in and out because there's no access on Del Mar. So I sympathize with him on his problem with the trash or whatsoever on the parking lot because I experience the same situation, as well. But if he closes it off, I have no control like he does. And addressing some of the other issue that he mentions, the car speeding down, yes, there could be a problem. But like the other gentleman recommended putting speed bumps would control the speed of the traffic going down the alley way. And when he mentions drug dealers, I don't know if there is any substantiated police report in terms of those activities in the area. And like Mr. Yates that operates a store and the other gentleman that lives across the street, they do know this street and the other people that walk down the alley, I don't know how many hours Mr. Norman Wong spend at church over there observing pedestrians going through the alley. Also another fundamental issue is that when they purchased the property in 1984, that alley was already in existence. So that would be something they should have considered when they purchased the property rather than now they want to take away a public right of way that is designed for the benefit of all the property owners on that street facing Del Mar Avenue. So I think the City should be more responsible to the general public rather than the self-interest of a single property owner in the area. He also mention about the beautification and aesthetic value so he can control this property whereas mine is just right next to it where I can not fence it off. Does that mean the problem is just going to jump from his property to my property? So that does not remove the eyesore or whatever he was mentioning, if anything the problems will comer over to mine. So the other neighbors would still see that unless the City would have a better way of securing both properties. Thank you very much. Chairman Loi: Thank you. Anything else? Mr. Wong: Yes, any questions, I'm sorry. Thank you. PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 7 of 13 Chairman Loi: Anyone else wants to speak in opposition to this agenda item, please come forward? Seeing none, Public Hearing is closed. Atty. Price: The applicant can rebut[ the opposition. Chairman Loi: Mr. Wong, would you like to rebutt the question this gentleman bring up? Norman Wong: Yes,just a couple of comments that Mr. Yates had mentioned about trucks going through that alley, I don't believe that the alley was ever designed for the trucks to go thru. And the other thing about the children using the alley, as they say, I really do not believe it's safer to go through the alley rather than to go on the sidewalk on Del Mar which is just about 100 ft away with a crosswalk properly marked. And I think it will be safer for the children to cross at the intersection with a crosswalk mark and going on the sidewalk of Del Mar. Perhaps I can ask Mr. Lyons how many of the, what you call, when you send it to departments to get their response? Mr. Lyons: The service provider list? We send about 12 or 13. If I may Chairman, these type of requests are sent out to various utilities and public service providers. Norman Wong: Yes, the mason I 'm asking is that apparently Mr. Lyons received one (I) negative back and all the others did not object. Mr. Lyons: If I may, Mr. Chairman, several did not respond whatsoever. Some simply said they had no objection, however, they did not voice opinion for or against. And then yes. we did receive the one from the Sheriffs Department which was against it. Norman Wong: And also Mr. Peter Wong mentioned that apparently he feels that all the property owners feel the same way he does. I just want to remind the Commission that I just submitted the seven (7) signatures of seven people directly adjacent to our property and they thought that it is for public good and not just for the church. I thank you all. Chairman Loi: Okay, thank you. Public Hearing is closed, discussion of the matter,Commissioners. Commissioner Ortiz: Mr. Chairman. Chairman Loi: Commissioner Ortiz. Commissioner Ortiz: I think we have quite a few issues here, but the main issue, is of course the traffic. And regarding the easement, the alley is necessary and essential to the community and area basically on Del Mar, we have no parking in front of those stores there. But basically, we are in service not only for just one business but for all the businesses in that section right there. It will be detrimental to block it off because it will hinder the traffic flow on Hellman. Commissioners, it is important to see what's the benefit for the community and what's in the best interest for everybody. And I'd like to give my point to the rest of the Commissioners. I feel that we should look at it in regards to peace in the alley, is it possible to have control on the two buildings and facilities, and look at their supervision of children. It's important to go out there and see if it would be detrimental to the community and residents and businesses in that corner, in that particular lot. I've lived here many years and have seen many types of disturbances there and get my groceries right across the street, I pick up my groceries sometimes and I stop by the store sometimes where I get some meat and see the traffic flow, see how things are going in our community. I know you'd like to have a project that would not be detrimental to the rest of the community in regards to the traffic flow on Del Mar. It will be detrimental to the traffic. You'll be creating problems, at this point, to the community like the trash trucks that go in there. Here's the opportunity for the other Commissioners to give their views before I give my recommendation to approve or deny this. Vice-Chairman Ruiz: Mr. Chairman. PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 8 of 13 Chairman Loi: Commissioner Ruiz. Vice-Chairman Ruiz: I'm going to ask and concur with Commissioner Ortiz. Mr. Norman Wong had presented the use that was basically about the benefits to the church itself and not necessarily requesting what is in the best interest of the community. There were some indications that perhaps they may keep drug dealers out of that area but there will be a public nuisance on somebody else's property. I think as Commissioner Ortiz mentioned that we have to look at the overall picture on what's in the best interest of the community what we are here for, what's in the best interest of the general plan. We should consider that and not the interest of the individual applicant. Those are my view points. Commissioner Breen: Mr. Chairman. Chairman Loi: Mr. Breen. Commissioner Breen: We heard several things pertaining to the circulation of traffic and I have to concur. We're merely making a recommendation to the City Council and based on what I heard tonight, since we would be cutting off the circulation on Hershey to Hellman it would be an impact to traffic onto Hellman, I would like to suggest that we take a vote to recommend to the City Council that we deny the request to vacate. Chairman Loi: We have the motion to deny. Mr. Lyons: If I may Chairman, before a motion is made, we look at the alternative of creating sonic sort of a hammer head or turning radius at the end of this alley. This still does not allow for thru traffic, but it does allow for trucks and other traffic to turn-around and then drive back out north bound on Hellman. You'll solve one of the problems, however, you don't solve all the others that were mentioned. So we could investigate that as an alternative if you instruct me to prior to presentation to the City Council. Commissioner Breen: That would be wise. You could check that and see if it would work out and see if our maintenance department could cut back on some of the branches of the trees. Chairman Loi: Commissioner Ortiz. Commissioner Ortiz: For your information, just the containers of the trash vehicles are about 40 feet long and that does not include the cab, that's another 13 feet approximately. We're talking about 50 feet, 53 feet. There is no way to make a cul-de-sac to service a emergency vehicle. There's no way to get a trash truck in there at all. Chairman Loi: Commissioner Alarcon. Commissioner Alarcon: Mr. Chairman. I only would like to add that when we make our decision, we ought to think of the City as a whole. But I personally like to give a lot of credence to the people who are directly affected by this proposal. But what is critical to me is the people who come before us and in my mind what the Sheriffs feel is the best for the area. Chairman Loi: Thank you. I'd like to comment since this is a public alley, the vacation of alley will not be a benefit for the City as well. As for me, as far as the safety is concerned, I strongly support this speed bump on both sides of the alley and middle of the alley so as to slow down the speed of vehicle that pass through the alley and to stop those drug dealers there or anyone that use the parking lot. I strongly support staff's suggestion that he can put up an iron gate or sliding gate at the parking lot. We have a motion, and we need a second. Commissioner Alarcon: I second. PC Minutes 02-02-98 Page 9 of 13 Chairman Loi: We have a motion and a second, please vote to approve the denial. Staffs suggestion is to vote for denial for Vacation 98-01. Please vote. Atty. Price: Yes vote is for denial. Vote was taken as follows: YES: ALARCON, ORTIZ, LOI, BREEN, RUIZ NO: NONE ABSTAIN: NONE ABSENT: NONE Chairman Loi: Mr. Wong. you still have a chance to request a hearing. Atty. Price: An appeal is not necessary. The City Council will automatically take this without any appeal being necessary on your part. Mr. Lyons: If I may, Mr. Chairman. All those who were notified for the hearing two weeks ago, you will be notified again for the City Council meeting. In addition to that all those who spoke or wrote to us, we will also notify you by mail of the City Council meeting. If you have any questions about being notified, please sign a piece of paper and request to be notified. We need your name and address and we'll mail you a notice. Commissioner Ortiz: Mr. Chairman. Chairman Loi: Commissioner Ortiz. Commissioner Ortiz: I'd like the Council to look at the issues that we're concerned with, the rationalities we have for the community. Chairman Loi: Thank you. Atty. Price: Mr. Lyons, would you write a recommendation for the City Council about this cul-de- sac? Mr. Lyons: I'm going to investigate this idea to see if it's at all possible. We'll do our best to investigate that. End of Verbatim dialogue. C.

STAFF REPORT Planning Commission Agenda Report February 2, 1998 CASE NO: VACATION 98-01 APPLICANT REQUEST: Vacation of a portion of an existing public alley LOCATION: 3342 Del Mar Avenue (see attached legal description) APPLICANT Chinese for Christ, Inc. 3342 N.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Vacation 98-01 consists of the vacation of a public alley for the purposes of a private parking lot. The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and local environmental guidelines exempt assessory structures including small parking lots. These projects are Categorically Exempt under Section 15311 of CEQA. Therefore, Vacation 98-01 is classified as a Class 11 Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15311(b) of CEQA. II. CODE RF,OUTREMENTS Government Code Section 65402, Planning & Zoning Law, requires the Planning Commission to find any public vacation of property to be in conformity with the General Plan. HI. PROPERTY HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION The site consists of two parcels that are separated by a 20 foot wide public alley. There are currently four additional separate parcels that are adjacent to this alley. The first parcel fronts on Del Mar Avenue and consists of a parking lot and a sanctuary. The second lot fronts on Hershey Street and contains a two story seminary building and library. Conditional Use Permit No. 12 was approved by the Planning Commission on July 18, 1967. This permit allowed the expansion of an existing church and the construction of a new Sunday School building for the Church of the Nazarene. Chinese for Christ Church purchased the two parcels in 1984 and has operated a church facility at this location since that time. Since 1984 a seminary was also introduced to the site which occupies the two-story Sunday School Classroom Building. ROSEMEAD PLANNING DEPARTMENT Vacation 98-01 Planning Commission Report-22/98 Page 2 of 3 Conditional Use Permit No. 87-369 was approved by the Planning Commission on April 20, 1987. This granted approval for a two-story library addition to the existing social / Sunday school room. This addition was never constructed and the permit has since expired. In an effort to clean up some of the church sites in the City, staff investigated this site in August of 1996 for compliance with the original conditions of approval for both CUP cases. The site inspection revealed that the church needed cleaning up of both the sanctuary and the parking lot area. In addition the inspection revealed that the parking lot was in need of repair, resurfacing and restriping. Also, staff suggested to the applicant that if they were going to restripe the lot, the City would like to see a restriping plan that did not allow vehicles to back out onto a public sidewalk, as exists now. It was at this point that the church showed interest in the alley vacation. Their request is to be able to fence off their property to create a better parking lot circulation pattern and to keep neighboring residents from dumping trash and debris onto their property. IV. ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS A. LAND USE This site as well as the surrounding sites are all designated for mixed use; Residential/Commercial use in the general plan and in the zoning map the surrounding properties are zoned for medium commercial uses. The site is surrounded by the following land uses: North: General Plan: Mixed Use; Residential/Commercial Zoning: C-3; Medium Commercial Land Use: Two-Story Apartment Bldg., Two Story Commercial Bldg. South: (Across Hershey) General Plan: Mixed Use; Residential/Commercial Zoning: C-3; Medium Commercial Land Use: Commercial Bldg. East: General Plan: Medium Density Residential Zoning: R-2; Light Multiple Residential Land Use: Residential Homes West: (Across Del Mar) General Plan: Mixed Use; Residential/Commercial Zoning: C-3; Medium Commercial Land Use: El Torito Market B. GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY In accordance with State law, the Planning Commission is to review any request for public street vacation and determine if the consideration is consistent with the City's General Plan. In this case the City's General Plan does not identify any significance to this alley. This block is surrounded by Del Mar Avenue, Hellman Avenue, and Hershey Street. Del Mar Avenue is classified in the Circulation Element of the General Plan as a Secondary Arterial Street, Hellman Avenue is classified as a Collector Street and Hershey Street is classified as a local street. Although the alley is not identified or discussed within the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan, the vacation request does not serve a public purpose as offered - the contrary exists. Vacation 98-01 Planning Commission Report-2/2/98 Page 3 of3 B. PARKING/CIRCULATION The current alley is 20 feet wide by 270 feet long and runs between Hellman Avenue and Hershey Street. This alley continues south approximately 1 and 'h blocks and dead ends into a vacant parcel of land adjacent to Duff Elementary School. The request is to vacate the southern half of this alley to Chinese for Christ Church. The Church is requesting this vacation to easily secure their property and provide better on-site circulation and parking. This vacation would not make good planning sense for public circulation purposes because a dead end alley hinders circulation rather than improving it. Future re-development of the lots north of the church, abutting the alley, could create a narrow alley requiring vehicles to back out onto Hellman Avenue which is a busy collector street. A vacation of the alley raises questions of blockage, inadequate turning radius for large trucks. In addition, the Sheriffs department has indicated in their response (attached), that public safety could be hindered because of access limitations created by a dead end alley. If implemented, this vacation would improve the circulation and security of the church property, however, the benefit for the individual property owner would not be in the best interest of the public, nor the neighboring property owners and business owners. Staff feels that the site would be better served by having the church put up a system of wrought iron fences with sliding gates to better secure the premises. In addition, staff requests that the applicant adhere to their conditions of approval under their Conditional Use Permit which requires that the parking lot striping & repaving plan be submitted to the Planning Department. V. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council that the vacation be denied, that a finding of consistency with the General Plan cannot be found in the affirmative at this time.

Sergeant Wallace has indicated that the granting of this request might possibly effect the abilities of public safety services to respond to the businesses and apartments that surround the alley in question. Although there is adequate access to the building in question from other directions, creating a narrow cul-de-sac will impinge upon the abilities of law enforcement personnel to appropriately deploy around the buildings in the event of a law enforcement emergency. I also believe that emergency fire response would be similarly effected. Narrow cul-de-sacs, such as what would be created, are always officer safety concerns for law enforcement personnel. Based on the above concerns I would recommend denial of the subject vacation. If you have any questions you may contact Sergeant Wallace at (626) 292-3341.
