3.PUBLIC HEARINGS
A.MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT (MCA) 21-01 –The proposed Residential Small Lot Ordinance (“Small
Lot Ordinance”) amends various sections of the Rosemead Municipal Code Title 17 (“Zoning”) by defining
and establishing standards to allow the construction of homes on small lots with fee-simple ownership in the
R-3 (“Medium Multiple Residential”) zone.The Small Lot Ordinance creates incentives for infill residential
development in areas zoned for multi-family to spur more fee-simple housing production and will not
increase the allowed density permitted in the R-3 zone.The goal is to create new homeownership
opportunities compared to that of traditional single-family homes or condominiums.
