The project site currently consists of a one-story, 1,721 square foot single-family dwelling
unit with an attached two -car garage, which was built in 1939. According to Planning and
Building and Safety Division records, in 2019, the applicant was approved for interior and
exterior renovations along with a 400 square -foot attached patio for the existing single-
family dwelling unit. The interior renovation included converting an existing family room
into two bedrooms. The exterior renovation consisted of replacing the existing brick
veneer along the base of the single-family dwelling unit and the chimney to stone veneer,
replacing the wood siding to stucco, replacing the lattice windows with modern vinyl
windows, and adding trims and molding to the windows and doors. The color and
materials from the renovation have also been selected to match the proposed single-
family dwelling unit in the rear. The improvements were finaled by the Building and Safety
Division on September 30, 2019.

dwelling unit.

MUNICIPAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
Per Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.12.030(B)(1)(j), any new dwelling unit to be
constructed that equals or exceeds two thousand five hundred (2,500) square feet of
developed living area shall be subject to a Discretionary Site Plan and Design Review.
Rosemead Municipal Code, Section 17.28.020(C), provides the criteria by which the
Planning Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove an
application:
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.
The subject property is located within an established residential area of the City.
The proposed single-family dwelling unit proposed at the rear of the lot and behind
an existing single-family dwelling unit. The applicant has proposed a contemporary
design for the new single-family dwelling unit and will utilize a warm, earth -tone
color scheme.
B. The plan for the proposed structure 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
Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 2021
Page 7 of 17
environment, and the manner of screening mechanical equipment, trash, storage
and loading areas.
The proposed single-family dwelling unit is designed with side and rear setbacks
and building separation that meet the minimum requirements of the R-1 zone,
which creates a sufficient buffer between the single-family dwelling unit and the
surrounding properties to protect against noise, vibrations, and other factors, which
may have an adverse effect on the environment and neighborhood. This
development would not generate any foreseeable permanent negative impacts to
the noise levels of the surrounding area. In addition, the proposed mechanical
equipment would not be visible from the street and fully screened from public view.
All construction work would be required to comply with the timeframe and decibel
levels indicated in the City of Rosemead Noise Ordinance. Conditions of Approval
will address factors such as construction hours, noise, and landscaping.
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.
The proposed project would not depreciate the appearance and value of the local
environment. Staff has worked closely with the applicant to achieve a residential
design that would complement the neighborhood character. The applicant has
proposed a contemporary -style design, which incorporates some aesthetic
characteristics found in residences currently built in the immediate neighborhood.
In addition, the proposed project would match the design of the existing single-
family dwelling unit in the front. Furthermore, the project incorporates design
elements such as the use of interlocking pavers, stone veneer, and precast
concrete molding trims around the windows.
D. The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments
on land in the general area, especially 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.
The subject property is not part of the Civic Center Plan, precise plan, or land
reserved for public or educational use. The applicant has proposed an aesthetically
pleasing design that is complementary to the surrounding area. There are similar
two-story, single-family dwelling units in the general area with square footages that
range from 2,100 to 3,086 square feet. In addition, there were two similar separate
residential developments located within the vicinity of the project site that were
approved in 2016: one for a two-story addition to a single-family dwelling unit
totaling 3,010 square feet; and another two-story addition to an existing single-
family dwelling unit totaling 3,086 square feet.
E. The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this Code and
Planning Commission Meeting
May 17, 2021
Page 8 of 17
oaer�
other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the
buildings and structures are involved.
The proposed development satisfies all of the minimum zoning code requirements
for the R-1 zone, 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,
luminaries, 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.
Access to the project site would continue from Encinita Avenue. The design and
construction of this project would preserve and provide adequate access and
circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The applicant is proposing to extend
the existing driveway to the rear of the property. The continuation of the driveway
would provide ingress and egress for the new single-family dwelling unit. In
addition, the applicant has proposed decorative brick pavers within the driveway
in front of the new single-family dwelling unit.
