WHEREAS, on December 17, 2001 the Planning Commission held a duly noticed and advertised public

WHEREAS, the Rosemead Planning Commission has adopted PC Resolution No. 02-01 recommending
City Council approval of Planned Development Review 00-01 and Tentative Tract Map 53377; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rosemead as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council HEREBY DETERMINES that Tentative Tract Map 53377 and
Planned Development 00-01 are limited to projects that consist of infill development projects of less than 5
acres in size that will not have a significant effect on traffic, noise, or air quality. Such projects are listed as
a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act and
local environmental guidelines. Therefore, this project is exempt from environmental review.
SECTION 2. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to
justify approving Tentative Tract Map 53377 and Planned Development 00-01 according to the Criteria of
Chapter 17.116.010 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows:
A. That the proceedings to alter the development plan for this Planned Development Zoned
property is justified in that it is in the public's necessity, convenience, general welfare or good
zoning practices for such action.
. FINDING: The subject site consists of two sites, one which falls within the General Plan
land use designation of low density and the second that is placed in the high density land use
category. The land use element in the General Plan indicates that the policies call for a strip of high-
density residential housing along Mission Drive extending from an area just west of Muscatel
Avenue to Rosemead Boulevard. Such high-density areas serve as buffers between the arterial roads
and the single-family neighborhoods located northwest of Rosemead Boulevard and Mission Drive.
Due to the split designations, the project would work well as either a low or high density project.
Although the current design (7.2 units per acre) is not considered "high density", the lots have been
designed with an average lot size (5,076 sf) smaller than allowed in the low density areas of the City
(6,000 sf min.).
B. A planned development zone may be established to provide diversification in the location
of structures and other land uses while insuring compliance with the General Plan and compatibility
with existing and future developments in surrounding areas.
FINDING: The project is in compliance with the general plan in that one half of the site is
designated as "low density residential" and the developer is proposing a "low density" design with
setbacks that are similar to those for R-1 single family residential development standards.
