The project consists of the demolition of all existing structures for the construction of a mixed-use development which includes 12 commercial condominiums that total 18,646 square feet and consists of a community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment), cafe, retail, and office units on the first and a portion of the second floor, and 42 residential condominium units on a portion of the second through fourth floors. Parking is proposed as a combination of surface, mezzanine, and one level of subterranean parking. The project also includes a density bonus application under Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill (SB) 1818, which permits density bonuses up to 35%. The property is located at 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue and 8589 Garvey Avenue in the Medium Commercial (C-3) zone. The City of Rosemead acting as a Lead Agency has completed an Initial Study to determine if the proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Initial Study was prepared and completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. On the basis of the Initial Study, the City of Rosemead has concluded that the project would have significant impacts unless mitigated; therefore, an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was prepared. The MND reflects the independent judgment of the City as a lead agency per CEQA Guidelines. The project site is not on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5. A Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project was distributed for a 30 -day public review and comment period from May 7, 2021, to June 7, 2021.

The City Council has made a finding of adequacy with the Initial 2 Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project by a separate Resolution (Resolution No. 2021-34) and adopted the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, as the environmental clearance for General Plan Amendment 19-02, Tentative Tract Map 82870, Design Review 19-08, and Conditional Use Permit 20-08. SECTION 2. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving General Plan Amendment 19-02 in accordance with Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.152.060(A) as follows: A. The amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. FINDING: The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Commercial to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac). The subject site is currently zoned C-3 on the Zoning Map. The applicant is proposing a zone change to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D-O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) zone. According to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table in the General Plan, the Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D-O) are corresponding zone districts to the Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation. B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. FINDING: The existing land use designation of the subject site is Commercial. The subject site consists of four parcels totaling approximately 1.06 acres of land developed with existing commercial buildings, a duplex, and a single-family detached residence with a three-car garage. The proposed amendment would change the land use designation to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) for the construction of residential/commercial mixed-use development. The subject site is located in an established commercial corridor, and therefore, will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The City has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. C. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise 3 constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. FINDING: The subject site is located in an established commercial corridor, therefore, the amendment to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation for the construction of mixed-use development will be physically suitable for the subject site. The subject site is currently designated as Commercial and is currently utilized as assembly, office, and residential use. The site would be physically suited for provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities, as the applicant has obtained clearance from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department and will-serve letters from the San Gabriel Valley Water Company and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. In addition, a Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for the project to assess project- related traffic impacts. Based on the traffic analysis provided in the study, the project would not fic Engineering Consultant has reviewed the traffic study and finds it acceptable with the recommended mitigations measures and conditions of approval and the study has been applied in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program.

That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 82870 will consolidate four existing parcels totaling 1.06 acres for the creation of 54 legal condominium parcels for the development of 42 residential condominium units and 12 commercial condominium units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan. The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Commercial to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac). The Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation allows a density of 30 units per acre. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. There is no applicable specific plan. B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 82870 will consolidate four existing parcels totaling 1.06 acres for the creation of 54 legal condominium parcels for the development of 42 residential condominium units and 12 commercial condominium units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan. The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Commercial to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac).

The minimum lot area for a mixed-use development is 30,000 square feet. The subject site consists of four parcels totaling approximately 46,075 square feet. The proposed development would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code and is located in an established commercial corridor. In addition, the recommended conditions of approval and mitigation measures that have been incorporated make the site physically suitable for a mixed-use development. D. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 82870 will consolidate four existing parcels totaling 1.06 acres for the creation of 54 legal condominium parcels for the development of 42 residential condominium units and 12 commercial condominium units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan, which will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Commercial to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac). The Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation allows a density of 30 units per acre. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. With the recommended conditions of approval and mitigation measures, the site is physically suitable for 42 residential condominium units and 12 commercial condominium units. E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. FINDING: There are no fish or wildlife occurring on the project site or in the vicinity of the project site. The City has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. In addition, the General Plan does not identify any biological resources within the City. There are no species identified as endangered, candidate, sensitive, or special status species within the limits of either the site or in the immediate area. Consequently, no significant impact would occur to any sensitive species designated by the resources agencies as a result of project implementation. 5 F. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. FINDING: The project has been reviewed by the Community Development Department and Public Works Department to determine if the proposed development will be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. With implementation of the recommended conditions of approval and mitigation measures, the proposed development is not anticipated to cause public health problems. G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. FINDING: The City Engineer has reviewed this proposed subdivision and design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. Based on this review, it is determined that the design and construction of the project would preserve public safety and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, the also incorporated conditions of approval to ensure that any potential traffic related issue is mitigated. SECTION 4. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Design Review 19-08, in accordance with Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: 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. FINDING: The configuration of the residential/commercial mixed-use development, as indicated on the plans, demonstrates proper consideration for the existing and approved site developments in the general neighborhood. The placement of commercial units and pedestrian access to the commercial portions of the project along Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue further reinforces its location in an established commercial corridor in the City of Rosemead. A 28-foot fire lane and five-foot landscape strip will create a buffer between the mixed-use development and the residential uses along the north property line. In addition, a decorative split- face block wall with vines and an array of plants and trees will be incorporated. B. The plan for the proposed building 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 environment, and the manner of 6 screening mechanical equipment, trash, storage and loading areas. FINDING: The project is located within an established commercial corridor in the City of Rosemead. The commercial units are located along Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Ave, which is aligned with existing commercial uses. A 28-foot fire lane and five-foot landscape strip will create a buffer between the mixed-use development and the residential uses along the north property line. In addition, a decorative split-face block wall with vines and an array of plants and trees will be incorporated. All mechanical equipment will be located on top of the roof and will be screened by a four-foot parapet, while trash, storage, and loading areas are strategically placed throughout the development and screened from view. All construction work will be required to Ordinance. Conditions of approval and mitigation measures will be imposed on the project to protect surrounding properties against potential adverse effects. The City has also completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. 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. FINDING: The overall design of the project takes a decidedly balanced, restrained approach in terms of massing, colors and materials, and architectural features, and does not utilize excessive or exaggerated design cues that may not be compatible with the commercial corridor. The architectural style of the proposed mixed-use development is modern and enhanced with design elements that include balconies, glass decks, recessed exterior windows and doors, high quality exterior finishes such as smooth stucco, wood, stone, and metal details, and the utilization of contrasting earth-tone colors. The development design is consistent with developments in the vicinity that are currently under construction. D. The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments on land in the general area, especially in 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. FINDING: The project site is not located in or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part of the Civic Center or in public or education use, or land in any precise plan which indicates building shape, size, or style. Furthermore, the placement of commercial units and pedestrian access to the commercial portions of the project along Walnut Grove Avenue and 7 Garvey Avenue further reinforces its location in an established commercial corridor in the City of Rosemead and is in harmony with developments on land in the general area. In addition, the development design is consistent with developments in the vicinity that are currently under construction. E. The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. FINDING: A proposed Zone Change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D- O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) Zone. The proposed development would be in compliance with most of the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. The applicant has also requested a density bonus, under Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. The density proposed is within the allowed density as permitted by Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.84 and Senate Bill 1818. With the recommended conditions of approval and mitigation measures, the proposed use will be a well-designed mixed-use development that satisfies all applicable development standards and will be consistent with the provisions of the Zoning Code. F. The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaires 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 when viewed from the public streets. FINDING: The commercial units are located along Walnut Grove and Garvey Avenue, which is aligned with existing commercial uses. In doing so, the commercial-oriented pedestrian foot traffic is concentrated along the established commercial corridor. The commercial off-street parking areas are located on surface, mezzanine, and subterranean levels for ease of access to the commercial development and are screened from the public streets as the mixed-use development was designed to encompass the surface and mezzanine parking areas. The residential off-street parking area is located in the subterranean level with a secured entry gate to prevent public access. The driveway for vehicles to access the development is located on Walnut Grove Avenue. To ensure the orderly design and placement of signage, a condition of approval has been incorporated, which requires that a master sign program shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Division.

SECTION 5. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Conditional Use Permit 20-08, in accordance with Section 17.132.040 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: 8 A. Approval of the application will not be or incompatible or injurious to other properties or land uses in the vicinity or create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. FINDING: The proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use will not be incompatible or injurious to the injurious to other properties or land uses in the vicinity as the property is located in an established commercial corridor. The City has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. Conditions of approval for the limited hours of operation, lighting, and construction will protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. In addition, conditions of approval and mitigation measures have incorporated to ensure the use will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare. B. The use is consistent with the General Plan. FINDING: A proposed General Plan Amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Commercial to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac). The proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use is integrated into the residential/commercial mixed-use development. In addition, the mixed-use development is located in an established commercial corridor and is consistent with the General Plan. C. The use is consistent with the provisions of this Zoning Code. FINDING: A proposed Zone Change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D- O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) Zone. The proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use is integrated into the residential/commercial mixed-use development. Commercial recreation and entertainment use is permitted in the RC-MUDO and will satisfy all applicable development standards of the Zoning Code. D. Processing and approval of the permit application are in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. FINDING: The proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use is integrated into the residential/commercial mixed-use development and was accounted for in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use which is a part of the mixed-use development will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and 9 has therefore prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. E. If development is provided for under the Conditional Use Permit, the project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the applicable standards and Design Guidelines in the overlying district. FINDING: A proposed Zone Change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D- O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) Zone. Staff has worked closely with the applicant to ensure that the proposed community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment) use will satisfy all goals and objectives of the applicable standards and Design Guidelines in the RC- MUDO/D-O zone. The overall design of the project takes a decidedly balanced, restrained approach in terms of massing, colors and materials, and architectural features, and does not utilize excessive or exaggerated design cues that may not be compatible with the commercial corridor. SECTION 6. The City Council adopted the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project by a separate Resolution (Resolution No. 2021-34) and approved it as the environmental clearance for General Plan Amendment 19-02, Tentative Tract Map 82870, Design Review 19-08, and Conditional Use Permit 20-08, in addition to a Density Bonus application, for the construction of a Mixed-use development with 12 commercial condominium units totaling 18,646 square feet of commercial floor area and 42 residential condominium units (seven out of the 42 units will be lower-income), which includes a community hall (commercial recreation and entertainment), café, retail, and office units, subject to the Conditions of Approval.

On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City, acting as the lead agency, has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared an Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program; and WHEREAS, a Notice of Intent to Adopt an Initial Study/ Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project was distributed for a 30-day public review and comment period from May 7, 2021 to June 7, 2021; and 1 WHEREAS, on June 7, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed and advertised public hearing to receive oral and written testimony relative to Zone Change 19-02; and WHEREAS, on July 1, 2021, forty-six (46) notices were sent to property owners within a 300-feet radius from the subject property, in addition to notices posted in six (6) public locations, on-site, and published in the Rosemead Reader, specifying the availability of the application, plus the date, time, and location of the public hearing for Zone Change 19-02, pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091(a)(3); and WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on July 13, 2021, to consider the approval of Zone Change 19-02; and WHEREAS, the City Council fully studied the proposed Zone Change 19-02 and considered all public comments; and WHEREAS, the City Council, having final approval authority over this project, has reviewed and considered all comments received during the public review period prior to the approval of this project. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council has made a finding of adequacy with the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project by a separate Resolution (Resolution No. 2021-34) and adopted the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program, as the environmental clearance for Zone Change 19-02. SECTION 2. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Zone Change 19-02 in accordance with Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.152.060(B) as follows: A. The amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. FINDING: The proposed zone change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D- O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) zone. According to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table in the General Plan, the Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D-O) are corresponding zone districts to the Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation. For this reason, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, the subject site is not located in a specific plan area. B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. 2 FINDING: The existing land use designation of the subject site is Commercial. The subject site consists of four parcels totaling approximately 1.06 acres of land developed with existing commercial buildings, a duplex, and a single-family detached residence with a three-car garage. The proposed amendment would change the land use designation to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) for the construction of residential/commercial mixed-use development. The subject site is located in an establish commercial corridor, and therefore, will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The City has completed an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for the proposed project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program. C. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code. FINDING: The proposed zone change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site to include Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlays (RC-MUDO/D- O) to the existing Medium Commercial (C-3) Zone. The RC-MUDO Overlay zone is intended to provide opportunities for well-designed development projects that combine residential with commercial uses. The D-O Overlay Zone is intended to promote orderly development so that buildings, structures, signs and landscaping will be harmonious within a specified area; to prevent the development of structures or uses which are not of acceptable exterior design or appearance or are of inferior quality or likely to have a depreciating or negative effect on the local environment or surrounding area by reasons of use, design, appearance or other criteria affecting value. The minimum lot area for a mixed-use development in the RC-MUDO Overlay zone is 30,000 square feet. The subject site consists of four parcels totaling approximately 46,075 square feet. In addition, the proposed development would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. D. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. FINDING: The subject site is located in an established commercial corridor, therefore, the amendment to Mixed-Use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac) land use designation for the construction of mixed-use development will be physically suitable for the subject site. The subject site is currently designated as Commercial and is currently utilized as an assembly, office, and residential use. The site would be physically suited for provision of public and emergency vehicle access, 3 and public services and utilities as the applicant has obtained clearance from the County of Los Angeles Fire Department and will-serve letters from the San Gabriel Valley Water Company and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. In addition, a Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for the project to assess project- related traffic impacts. Based on the traffic analysis provided in the study, the project would not hav reviewed the traffic study and finds it acceptable with the recommended mitigations measures and conditions of approval and the study has been applied in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program.

The training session shall include a handout and will focus on how to identify archaeological resources that may be encountered during earthmoving activities and the procedures to be followed in such an event, the duties of archaeological monitors, and the general steps a qualified professional archaeologist would follow in conducting a salvage investigation if one is necessary. 99. In the event that archaeological resources are unearthed during ground disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet shall be established around the find where construction activities shall not be allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist has examined the newly discovered artifact(s) and has evaluated the area of the find. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities shall be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interi Qualifications and Standards. Should the newly discovered artifacts be determined to be prehistoric, Native American Tribes/Individuals shall be contacted and consulted, and Native American construction monitoring shall be initiated. The project developer and the 17 City shall coordinate with the archaeologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. 100. The project developer shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Archaeological Spot C excavations have exposed or have a high probability to expose archaeological resources. After the initial Archaeological Spot Check, further periodic checks shall be conducted at the discretion of the qualified archaeologist.

The archaeological monitor shall be present during all construction excavations (e.g., grading, trenching, or clearing/grubbing) into non-fill younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments. Multiple earth-moving construction activities may require multiple archaeological monitors. The frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading activities, proximity to known archaeological resources, the materials being excavated (native versus artificial fill soils), and the depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of archaeological resources encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time inspections if determined adequate by the project archaeologist. 101. The archaeological monitor, under the direction of a qualified professional archaeologist shall prepare a final report at the conclusion of archaeological monitoring. The report shall be submitted to the project developer, the South Central Costal Information Center, the City, and representatives of other appropriate or concerned agencies to signify the satisfactory completion of the project and required mitigation measures.

The Tribal Monitor including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The 19 on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities on the project site are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and Tribal Monitor have indicated that all upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the project site have little to no potential to impact Tribal Cultural Resources. 113. Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, construction activities shall cease in the immediate vicinity of the find (not less than the surrounding 100 feet) until the find can be assessed. All Tribal Cultural Resources unearthed by project activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor approved by the Consulting Tribe. If the resources are Native American in origin, the Consulting Tribe shall retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes. If human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized at the project site, all ground disturbance shall immediately cease, and the county coroner shall be notified per Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). Work may continue on other parts of the project site while evaluation and, if necessary, mitigation takes place (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5\[f\]). If a non-Native American resource is determined by the qualified archaeologist to constitute a allotment and funding sufficient to allow for implementation of avoidance measures, or appropriate mitigation, must be available. The treatment plan established for the resources shall be in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f) for historical resources and PRC Sections 21083.2(b) for unique archaeological resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum, if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes. 20 Attachment C Density Bonus Application, Dated April 12, 2021 X X X X X DENSITY BONUS APPLICATION TAIWAN CENTER - 3001 WALNUT GROVE AVENUE, ROSEMEAD PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project is a four-story mixed-use building with2.5 stories of residential units over 1.5 story of commercial/office spaces, comprising of approximately 18,646 square foot of commercial and office spaces and 42 residential units. 1.UNIT MIX: Description, total number and size of units: om units13 862sq. ft. a.1-bedro b.2-bedroom units29 1,04 sq. ft. 2.BUILDING AREA SIZE: Gross building area65,598 sq. ft.

Colorado Blvd., Suite 200 Pasadena, CA 91101 626-345-5041 April 9, 2021 Annie Lao Associate Planner City of Rosemead 8838East Valley Boulevard Rosemead, California 91770 Re:Taiwan Center,3001 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead Density Bonus Application Statement of Concessions Dear Annie: This letter is submitted on behalf of Taiwan Center Foundation of Greater Los Angeles in support of its Density Bonus Application for the above-referenced property and details theAprequested concessions, how each concession relates to the affordability of theproperty and how each concession changes the project description under the base case. The Applicant is proposing to construct a four-story mixed-use building with three stories of residential units over one-story of commercial/retail space, comprising of approximately 18,646 square footofcommercial and office usesand 42 residential condominium units . The Applicant is requesting two (2) incentives/concessions in connection with this project, in exchange for which the Applicant would agree to make 7residential units availablefor-rent at an affordable cost by eligible lowerincome households for a period of fifty-five(55) years. Requested Concession#1: The Applicant is requesting an increase in the maximum number of floors in order to construct a four-story, mixed-use building with a height of approximately 5to the top of flat roof, a height of approximately 6to the top of parapet, and 7totop ofroof stairs, ina zone where development standards (Section 17.28.030.D.13.a.1 of the Municipal Code) otherwise restrict development to 3 stories and amaximum building height of 45 feet to top of flat roof, with a maximum height of 50 feet to the top of a decorative roof structure. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 17.84.070.A.1, Applicants may seek reduction of development standards, including an increase in maximum building height and floors, if that results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. City of Rosemead April 9,2021 Page 2 How requested Concession #1 will affect affordability: The additional story constructed by increasing the maximum building height and number of floors from 3 to 4 in this zone will allow the Applicant to include additional residential units which will increase the financial feasibility of providing affordable housing on-site. The inclusion of an additional residential floor will resultin actual cost reductions as follows: Spreading the cost of construction over greater floor area results in a significant reduction in average cost per square foot;and The increase in building height andnumber of floorswill increase thecommercial square footagesand increase the number of residential units from a total of 25 units to a total of 42 units(a net increase of 10 market rate and 7affordable units), which willresult insignificantlyhigher revenue; thus, making the Project more financially feasible. These identifiable cost reductions and added revenue allow the Applicanttoconstructthe additionalaffordable housing units, which otherwise would not be financially feasible. Requested Concession #2: The Applicant is requesting a regulatory incentive/concessionin order to construct a mixed-use building with a proposed mix of 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial uses in a zone where development standards (Section 17.28.030.D.12.d.2) restrict developmentsto a mix of 67% residential and 33% commercial.Pursuant to Municipal CodeSection17.84.070.A.5, Applicants may seek regulatory incentives or concessions that result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. How requested Concession #2will affect affordability and project description: The proposed mix of 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial uses results from the inclusion of an additional story of residential units, in a zone that otherwise requires twostories of residential (67%) over 1 story of commercial retail (33%).Allowingthecommercial useto be at alowerproportion than as set forth in the zoning requirementwill result in cost reductions as follows: The reduction in commercial square footage percentage would reduce the number ofrequired underground parking spaces,and resultsin significant construction cost savings. Thiscost reductionwill assistthe Applicantto finance and construct the Project with additional affordable housing units, which otherwise would not be financially feasible.

GARVEY AVE., ROSEMEAD, CA 91770 Lot Size: 46,075 SF (1.06 AC) April 9, 2021 Base Case + Concession 1 (Increased Height) Analysis: The increase in number of floors and building height allow for a mezzanine parking level and less subterranean parking, which will result in a decrease in average construction cost per square foot. Pursuant to the "Approximate Cost per Square Foot' information above, the proforma shows that the 'Base Case" will result in a $381.00/sf average construction cost. The Base Case with Concession #1 (increased floor levels and height) will have a $336.06/sf average construction cost. Thus, the Concession #1 will result in a $44.94/sf average cost saving. Thus, the Base Case project with Concession #1 will provide11.8% cost saving. In a new construction project where construction cost is over $16 million dollars, a 11.8% reduction in average cost per square foot is a very significant cost saving. The added number of floors allows for additional residential units and an increase in rental revenue. The increase in rental revenue with Concession #1 is projected to be approximately $223,183. The reduced cost and increase in revenue will result in an increase of 0.89% in the return ratio for the overall project. Base Case + Concession 2 (Adjustment in Commercial/Residential Percentage) Analysis: The proposed mix of 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial uses allow for a reduction in parking requirements and less subterranean parking, which will result in a decrease in average construction cost per square foot. Pursuant to the "Approximate Cost per Square Foot' information above, the proforma shows that the 'Base Case" will result in a $381.00/sf average construction cost. The Base Case with Concession #2 (71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial) will have a $362.24/sf average construction costs. Thus, the Concession #2 will result in a $18.76/sf average cost saving. Thus, the Base Case project with Concession #2 will provide 4.92% cost saving. The cost saving with just Concession #2 is not as significant as the cost savings with Concession #1. The Base Case with only Concession #2 will result in a decrease in revenue. However, in combination with the average construction cost savings, the overall project will still result in an increase of 0.19% in the return ratio. 3of4 Base Case Base Case Base case with Base Case with Only with proposed proposed Density Bonus Concession #1 Concession #2 only with all only (Adjustment in proposed (increased residential/commerc concessions building ial use percentage) height) $984,305/ $1,207,488 / $903,650/ $1,449,111 / Return Ratio $16,783,469 $17,890,684 $14,931,835 $21,176,171 5.86% 6.75% 6.05% 6.84% Base Case + Concession 1 (Increased Height) Analysis: The increase in number of floors and building height allow for a mezzanine parking level and less subterranean parking, which will result in a decrease in average construction cost per square foot.

GARVEY AVE., ROSEMEAD, CA 91770 Lot Size: 46,075 SF (1.06 AC) April 9, 2021 Base Case + Density Bonus & all Concessions Analysis: The density bonus and requested concessions allow for a less subterranean parking and additional residential units, which will result in a significant decrease in average construction cost per square foot and increase in rental revenue. Pursuant to t81.00/sf average construction cost. The project with density bonus and all concessions will have a $322.82/sf average construction costs. Thus, the density bonus and concessions will result in a $58.18/sf average cost saving (the cost saving with only incentive #1 is $44.94/sf, and cost savings with only incentive #2 is $18.76/sf) . Thus, the project with density bonus and all incentives provides the best cost savings possible (the $58.18/sf average cost reduction is a 15.27% cost savings). The proposed project will have approximately 65,598 sf; an average cost saving of $58.18/sf will correlate to a cost saving of over $3.8 million dollars for the project. This significant cost saving would make the overall project and the proposed low income units much more affordable to construct and therefore, more financially feasible. The proforma revenue information further shows is approximately $984,305. The revenue for base case with incentive #1 is $1,207,488, and revenue for base case with incentive #2 is $903,650. However, revenue for the proposed project with density bonus and all incentives is approximately $1,449,111. The revenue with density bonus and incentives is $464,806. That is a 47.22% revenue increase. Such a significant revenue increase provides a significantly greater rate of return and will make the project much more financeable and the development of the 7 affordable units more financially feasible. Notes: Construction Period is anticipated to be approximately12 months, with an outside completion date of 18 months. Projections are made with a 12 months construction period. The Taiwan Center Foundation of Greater Los Angeles, a non-profit organization, is developing the project for itself. Thus, there will not be any developer fee for the project. Applicant currently plans to lease all units within the proposed development. All units in the development are anticipated to be pre-leased prior to completion of construction. Thus, there will not be any absorption period following completion of construction. The projection is for rental of all the units in the development; hence, sales related costs are not applicable. THIS PRO FORMA BUDGET IS ONLY AN ESTIMATED FORECAST OF THE EXPENSES, REVENUES AND PROFITS, AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CHANGES IN COSTS AND AVAILABILITY, CHANGES IN THE LABOR MARKET, CHANGES IN THE INDUSTRY, CHANGES IN THE ECONOMY, UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, AND MANY OTHER FACTORS. 4 of 4 Taiwan Center, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead Statement of Findings for Incentives/Concessions The requested incentive/concessions are required to make the units affordable. The Applicant is proposing to construct a 4-story mixed-use building with 2.5 stories of residential units over 1.5 story of commercial/office spaces, comprising of approximately 18,646 square foot of commercial and office spaces and 42 residential units. The Applicant is requesting two incentives/concessions in connection with this project, in exchange for which the Applicant would agree to make 7 residential units available for rent at an affordable cost by eligible lower income households for a period of fifty-five (55) years: The Applicant is requesting an increase in the maximum number of floors and building height in order to construct a four-story, mixed-use building with a height of approximately 5 to thetop of flat roof, a height of approximately 6to the top of parapet, and 7to top of roof stairs, in a zone where development standards (in Section 17.28.030.D.13.a.1) otherwise restrict development to three stories and maximum building height of 45 feet to top of flat roof, and a maximum height of 50 feet to the top of a decorative roof structure. Pursuant to Rosemead Code of Ordinances Section 17.84.070.A.1, the Applicant may seek reduction of development standards, including an increase in maximum building height and floors, if it results in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. The additional floor constructed by increasing the number of floors in this zone will allow the developer to include additional residential units which will increase the financial feasibility of providing affordable housing on-site. The inclusion of an additional residential floor results in actual cost reduction as follows: The increase in total building area for the development will allow the construction costs to be spread over a greater floor area, which will result in a significant reduction in average cost per square foot; The increase in building height and maximum number of floors will allow the Applicant to increase the number of residential units from a total of 25 units to a total of 42 units, which will result in a net increase of 10 market rate residential units that will provide the added income needed to support development of the 7 below market rate units; and The added floor level and building height will also result in a net increase in the commercial square footages, and result in higher revenue. Thus, making the Project more financially feasible. These identifiable cost reductions and added revenue allow the project to construct the additional affordable housing units, which otherwise would not be financially feasible. 2.The Applicant is requesting a regulatory incentive/concession in order to construct a mixed-use building with a proposed mix of 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial uses in a zone where development standards (in Section 17.28.030.D.12.d.2) otherwise restrict development to a mix of 67% residential and 33% commercial. Statement of Findings for Incentives/Concessions 1 Taiwan Center, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead Pursuant to Section 17.84.070.A.5, Applicants may seek regulatory incentives or concessions that result in identifiable, financially sufficient, and actual cost reductions. The proposed mix of 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial uses results from the inclusion of an additional story of residential units, in a zone that otherwise requires 2 stories of residential (67%) over 1 story of commercial retail (33%). Allowing the commercial use to be at a lesser proportion than otherwise required results in actual cost reductions as follows: The reduction in commercial square footage would reduce the required number of underground parking spaces, and result in significant cost savings. Thus, making the Project and development of the affordable units more financially feasible. This identifiable cost reduction allows the project to be financed and constructed with the additional affordable housing units, which otherwise would not be financially feasible.

Chapter 1 Introduction and List of Commenters 1.0 - 2 2.0 RESPONSE TO COMMENTS Letter 1: Metro, Shine Ling, AICP, Manager, Transit Oriented Communities, June 7, 2021. Comment 1-1: ctions 15082(b) and 15086(a) of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA: Cal. Code of Regulations, Title 14, Ch. 3), the purpose of this letter is to provide the City with specific detail on the scope and content of environmental information that should be included in the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Project. In particular, this letter outlines topics regarding the potential impacts on the Metro bus facilities and services which should be analyzed in the MND, and provides recommendations for mitigation measures as appropriate. Metro had also submitted a letter, dated January 9, 2019, outlining these concerns during the Application Initial Review. Effects of a project on transit systems and infrastructure are within the scope of transportation impacts to be evaluated under CEQA. Response: The City acknowledges receipt of the noted January 9, 2019 letter and is essentially the same letter that was submitted to the City and dated June 7, 2021. The statement sections 15082(b) and 15086(a) of the Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA: Cal. Code of Regulations, Title 14, Ch. 3) relates to a Notice of Preparation (NOP) for an environmental impact report (EIR). The CEQA document for the proposed Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use project is a Mitigated Negative Declaration pursuant to California Public Resources Code Division 13, Environmental Quality Statues, section 21064.5 Mitigated Negative Declaration and CEQA Guidelines section 15070. Therefore, a NOP was not required to be prepared per CEQA Guidelines sections 15070 to 15075. Comment 1-2: In addition to the specific comments outlined below, Metro would like to provide the Applicant with the Metro Adjacent Development Handbook (attached), which provides an overview of common concerns for development adjacent to Metro-owned right-of-way (ROW). The document and additional resources are available at www.metro.net/projects/devreview. Response: The comment is noted and the applicant has received and reviewed the Metro Adjacent Development Handbook. Comment 1-3: Service: Metro Bus Lines 70 and 770, operate on Garvey Avenue, adjacent to the proposed Project. One Metro Bus stop is directly adjacent to the proposed Project at Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove. Response: As noted by the comment, there is an existing bus stop that is located adjacent to and south of the project site on the north side of Garvey Avenue. This existing bus stop will not be temporarily or permanently relocated or moved due to the project. The bus stop will remain in place during both project construction and after the project is constructed. The bus stop will not be impacted by the project. Comment 1-4: Bus Stop Condition: The Project should identify all bus stops on all streets adjacent to the Project site. During construction, the Applicant may either maintain the stop in its current condition and location, or temporarily relocate the stop consistent with the needs of Metro Bus operations. Temporary or permanent modifications to any bus stop as part of the Project, including any surrounding sidewalk area, must be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)- compliant and allow passengers with disabilities a clear path of travel between the bus stop and the Project. Once the Project is completed, the Applicant must ensure any existing Metro bus stop affected by the Project is returned to its pre-Project location and condition, unless otherwise directed by Metro Response: As stated in the Response to Comment 1-3, there is an existing bus stop on the north side of Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the project site. The existing bus stop will remain in place and will not have to be removed or relocated during and after project construction. The project will not change, alter or impact access to the bus stop by bus riders. The existing bus stop will not be impacted by the project. Comment 1-5: Driveways: Driveways accessing parking and loading at the Project site should be located away from transit stops, and be designed and configured to avoid potential conflicts with on-street transit services and pedestrian traffic to the greatest degree possible. Vehicular driveways should not be located in or directly adjacent to areas that are likely to be used as waiting areas for transit. Response: The project driveway that provides ingress and egress to the project site is located approximately 170 feet north of Garvey Avenue on the west side of Walnut Grove Avenue. As noted in the comment, the project driveway avoids any potential conflict with transit services and pedestrian traffic on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the project site. Furthermore, the project driveway is not located in or directly adjacent to any areas that are likely to be used as waiting areas for the existing bus stop on Garvey Avenue adjacent to the project site. Comment 1-6: Bus Stop Enhancements: Metro encourages the installation of enhancements and other amenities that improve safety and comfort for transit riders. These include benches, bus Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 3 shelters, wayfinding signage, enhanced crosswalks and ADA-compliant ramps, pedestrian lighting, and shade trees in paths of travel to bus stops. Trees should be set back from the curb and adequately maintained to prevent visual and physical impediments for buses when trees reach maturity. Consider tree species height, and canopy shape (higher avoid vehicle conflicts at bus stops. The City should consider requesting the installation of such amenities as part of the Project. Response: Because the existing bus stop on Garvey Avenue that is adjacent to and south of the project will remain in place and not have to be relocated or removed during either project construction or the life of the project, the City has not required any improvements or enhancements to the bus stop. The existing bus stop is sheltered, has benches and is aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, no bus stop improvements are necessary. Comment 1-7: Bus Operations Coordination: The Applicant shall coordinate with Metro Bus Operations Control Special Events Coordinator at 213-922- and Zones Department at 213- 922-5190 not later than 30 days before the start of Project construction. Other municipal bus services may also be impacted and shall be included in construction outreach efforts. Response: As noted in the response to Comment 1-3, the existing bus stop on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the project site will remain in place and will not have to be removed or relocated during and after project construction. The existing bus stop will not be impacted by the project. Comment 1-8: Land Use: Metro supports development of commercial and residential properties near transit stations and understands that increasing development near stations represents a mutually beneficial opportunity to increase ridership and enhance transportation options for the users of developments. proximity to the Metro Bus stop including orienting pedestrian pathways towards the station. Response: As noted in the comment, the project will encourage the use of the Metro bus line on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the project due to the close proximity of the bus stop to the project site. In addition, as required by Rosemead Municipal Code 12.32.030(B)(1)(a), the project developer will be required to provide a bulletin board, display case or kiosk displaying transportation information located where the greatest number of employees are likely to see it. Information shall include, but is not limited to the following: i. Current maps, routes and schedules for public transit routes serving the site; ii. Telephone numbers for referrals on transportation information including numbers for the regional ridesharing agency and local transit operators; iii. Ridesharing promotional material supplied by commuter-oriented organizations; Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 4 iv. Bicycle route and facility information, including regional/local bicycle maps and bicycle safety information; v. A listing of facilities available for carpoolers, vanpoolers, bicyclists, transit riders and pedestrians at the site. The existing pedestrian pathways to the bus stop will be maintained by the project to encourage use of bus transit by both the residents and commercial employees of the project. Comment 1-9: Bicycle Use and Micromobility Devices: The Applicant should consider the provision of adequate short-term bicycle parking, such as ground-level bicycle racks, and secure, access- controlled, enclosed long-term bicycle parking for residents, employees, and guests. Bicycle parking facilities should be designed with best practices in mind, including highly visible siting, effective surveillance, ease to locate, and equipment installation with preferred spacing dimensions, so bicycle parking can be safely and conveniently accessed. Similar provisions for micro-mobility devices are also encouraged. Response: The project applicant proposes to provide 21 on-site bicycles spaces, which is 3 more spaces than required by Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 12.32. All bicycle parking spaces are located on-site, indoors and within easy access of all primary pedestrian entrances. The 21 bicycle spaces includes 7 spaces on the ground floor and 14 spaces on the mezzanine level in close proximity to the residential units to encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation. Comment 1-10: First & Last Mile Access: The Project should address first-last mile connections to and is encouraged to support these connections with wayfinding signage inclusive of all modes of transportation. For reference, please review the First Last Mile Strategic Plan, authored by Metro and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), available on-line at: http://media.metro.net/docs/sustainability_path_design_guidelines.pdf Response: The project applicant has reviewed the First Last Mile Strategic Plan as noted and will incorporate any First and Last Mile strategies that can be economically incorporated into the project to improve bus transit options for project residents and employees. Comment 1-11: Parking: Metro encourages the incorporation of transit-oriented, pedestrian-oriented parking provision strategies such as the reduction or removal of minimum parking requirements and the exploration of shared parking opportunities. These strategies could be pursued to reduce automobile-orientation in design and travel demand. Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 5 Response: As stated on page 8 of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the project proposes 204 parking spacesOf the 204 parking spaces, 45 parking spaces are proposed for the ground floor, 62 parking spaces are proposed for the mezzanine level and 97 parking spaces are proposed for the basement(subterranean).Although the project proposes six more parking spaces than required by the Rosemead Municipal Code, the project proposes the number of parking spaces that would be required to efficiently park the project based on the proposed mixed-use.

All site access and water system requirements required by building and fire codes will be required to be incorporated into the project prior to the issuance of a building permit. Comment 3-3 FORESTRY DIVISION - OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS: The statutory responsibilities of the County of Los Angeles Fire Department's Forestry Division include erosion control, watershed management, rare and endangered species, vegetation, fuel modification for Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, archeological and cultural resources, and the County Oak Tree Ordinance. Potential impacts in these areas should be addressed. Under the Los Angeles County Oak tree Ordinance, a permit is required to cut, destroy, remove, relocate, inflict damage or encroach into the protected zone of any tree of the Oak genus which is 25 inches or more in circumference (eight inches in diameter), as measured 4 1/2 feet above mean natural grade. If Oak trees are known to exist in the proposed project area further field studies should be conducted to determine the presence of this species on the project site. The County of Los Angeles Fire Department's Forestry Division has no further comments regarding this project. Response: There are no oak trees on the project site. Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 10 Comment 3-4 HEALTH HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DIVISION: The Health Hazardous Materials Division of the Los Angeles County Fire Department has no comments or requirements for the project at this time. Response: The comment is noted and no further response is required. Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 11 Letter 4 California State Transportation Agency, Department of Transportation District 7, Frances Duong, Acting IGR/CEQA Branch Chief, June 1, 2021. Comment 4-1: Caltrans acknowledges and supports infill development that provides a mix of land uses which allow a neighborhood to meet their needs for housing, work, and services, like the proposed Project aims to facilitate. However, Caltrans recommends reducing the amount of car parking to the fewest number of spaces possible. Research looking at the relationship between land-use, parking, and transportation indicates that car parking prioritizes driving above all other travel active modes of transportation. If the car parking must be built, it should: 1) Be unbundled from the cost to rent or buy any residential unit to reduce car dependency and lower Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT). 2) Be designed in a way that is conducive to adaptive reuse. They should contain flat floors with ramps on the exterior edge, so that they can be more easily converted to beneficial uses in the future. Response: As stated on page 8 of the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the project proposes a total of 204 parking spaces. Of the 204 parking spaces, 45 parking spaces are proposed for ground floor, 62 parking spaces are proposed for the mezzanine level and 97 parking spaces are proposed for the basement (subterranean). Although the project proposes six more parking spaces than required by the Rosemead Municipal Code, the project proposes the number of parking spaces that would be required to efficiently park the project based on the proposed mixed-uses. At this time it is not economically feasible for the project applicant to unbundle the cost of the parking structure from the proposed residential use. The cost of the parking structure must be shared by all of the proposed residential units to allow the project to be economically feasible to be developed. The project is designed to be used as mixed-use for the long-term (30+ years) and it is not economically feasible for the project applicant to design the parking structure for any type of adaptive reuse. Comment 4-2 Additionally, Caltrans recommends that at least one long-term bicycle parking space be provided per resid location and choose the bicycle as their mode of travel more easily. Long-term bicycle parking should be located onsite, indoors, on the ground floor, and within 200 feet of primary pedestrian entrances. Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 12 Response: The project proposes 21 bicycles spaces for the project, which is 3 more spaces than required by Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 12.32. All bicycle parking spaces are located on-site, indoors and within 200 feet of all primary pedestrian entrances. The 21 bicycle spaces includes 7 spaces on the ground floor and 14 spaces on the mezzanine level in close proximity to the residential units. The combination of more bicycle spaces than required by the Rosemead Municipal Code and the fact that an existing bus stop is located adjacent to and south of the project site will encourage the use of alternative modes of transportation for both project residents and employees. Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 13 Letter 5: Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts, Adriana Raza, June 7, 2021. Comment 5-1: The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts) received a Notice of Intent to Adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (NOI) for the subject project on May 10, 2021. The proposed project is located within the jurisdictional boundary of District No. 15. We offer the following comments regarding sewerage service: 1. The wastewater flow originating from the proposed project will discharge to a local sewer line, which i -inch diameter trunk sewer has a capacity of 41.7 million gallons per day (mgd) and conveyed a peak flow of 14.2 mgd when last measured in 2018. 2. The wastewater generated by the proposed project will be treated at the Whittier Narrows Water Reclamation Plant located in the City of South El Monte, which has a capacity of 15 mgd and currently processes an average flow of 9.9 mgd. 3. The expected increase in average wastewater flow from the project site, described in the notice as 42 residential condominiums, a total of 6,491 square feet of office space, a combined total of 5,383 square feet of retail/café area, a combined total of 9,520 square feet of community hall, board room and library space, and 1,272 square feet of storage area, is 9,823 gallons per day, after the structures on the project site are demolished. For a copy of the Distric then Wastewater Program and Permits, select Will Serve Program, and scroll down to click on the Table 1, Loadings for Each Class of Land Use link. 4. The Districts are empowered by the California Health and Safety Code to charge a fee to strength or quantity of wastewater discharged from connected facilities. This connection fee is a capital facilities fee that is used by the Districts to upgrade or expand the Sewerage System. Payment of a connection fee may be required before this project is permitted to discharge to the Connection Fee Information Sheet, go to www.lacsd.org, under Services, then Wastewater (Sewage) and select Rates & Fees. In determining the impact to the Sewerage System and applicable connection fees, the Districts will determine the user category (e.g. Condominium, Single Family home, etc.) that best represents the actual or anticipated use of the parcel(s) or facilities on the parcel(s) in the development. For more specific information regarding the connection fee application procedure and fees, the developer -4288, extension 2727. 5. In order for the Districts to conform to the requirements of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the capac growth forecast adopted by the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). Specific policies included in the development of the SCAG regional growth forecast are incorporated into clean air plans, which are prepared by the South Coast and Antelope Valley Air Quality Management Districts in order to improve air quality in the South Coast Chapter 2 Response to Comments 2.0 - 14 and Mojave Desert Air Basins as mandated by the CCA. All expansions of Districts must be sized and service phased in a manner that will be consistent with the SCAG regional growth forecast for the counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside, Ventura, and Imperial. The available capacitatment facilities will, therefore, be limited to levels associated with the approved growth identified by SCAG. As such, this letter does not constitute a guarantee of wastewater service, but is to advise the developer that the Districts intend to provide this service up to the levels that are legally permitted and to inform the developer of the currently existing capacity and any proposed Response: The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (Districts) comments are the same comments that were submitted in their June 25, 2020 letter to the Citys environmental consultant in response to a service letter that was submitted to the Districts on May 19, 2020. The information provided in both their June 25, 2020 and June 7, 2021 letters is included in the MND. The Districts did not identify any significant wastewater treatment impacts on their facilities with the project.

General Plan Designation: The project site is designated Commercial use by the Rosemead General Plan as shown in Figure 5. The project is requesting a general plan amendment to Mixed-Use, Residential/Commercial (30 DU/AC). 7. Zoning: The project site is zoned Medium Commercial (C-3) as shown in Figure 6. The project is requesting a zone change to Medium Commercial with a Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlay (C-3/RC-MUDO/D-O (30 DU/AC, 3 stories)). The project would also require a Conditional Use Permit for the proposed Assembly use and a Tentative Tract Map for the Residential Condominiums 8. Description of Project: The project site totals approximately 1.06 gross acres (46,075 square feet) and includes four parcels (APN 5288-001-040, 041, 042, and 043). The site is developed with the existing 15,585 square foot Taiwan Center building, 2,292 square foot office building, and a duplex and a single-family detached residence that total 1,628 square feet and a three-car garage. The Taiwan Center, office building, and residential units total 19,505 square feet and would be demolished to allow for the construction of the proposed project. The project proposes a four-story, mixed-use development with commercial use on the first and second floors and residential use (condominiums) on the second, third and fourth floors. The first floor includes 4,253 square feet of retail/sales/service use, 1,130 square feet of cafe/food service, a 1,021 square foot manager office, 1,272 square feet of storage and a 5,500 square foot community hall. The second floor includes five office units that total 5,470 square feet, 4,020 square feet for a library, recreation area, and boardroom and eight condominiums. The third and fourth floors would each have seventeen condominiums. The project proposes 42 condominiums and 18,646 square feet of commercial space. Of the 42 proposed condominiums, 29 would be two-bedrooms with 2.5 bathrooms and 13 would be one-bedroom with 1.5 bathrooms. The project includes a density bonus application under Senate Bill (SB) 1818, which allows density bonuses up to 35% for low-income housing. As a result, 7 of the units would be available for low-income households for a minimum of 55 years and 35 market rate Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 1 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 =Phil Martin&Associates, In c.

DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant impact on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant impact on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 13 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 unless malyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on an earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but must analyze only the effects that remain to beaddressed. I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. 5/4/21 Signature:Date Evaluation of Environmental Impacts: 1. supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. As adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault where it is based onproject-specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2.All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site aswell as on-site, cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3.Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, ppropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If the the determination is made, an EIR is required. 4. incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced a -than- explain how they r Ad in (5) below may be cross-referenced). 5.Earlier analyses may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In thiscase, a brief discussion should identify the following: a)Earlier Analysis Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b)Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 14 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than Significant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6)Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g., general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7)Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8)This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9)The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significance. 14.

EXPLANATION OF ISSUES: I. AESTHETICS: Would the project: a)Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? No Impact. The project site and the surrounding properties in the City of Rosemead are not designated as a scenic vista by the City of Rosemead General Plan. The most predominant scenic vista open to the Rosemead community is the San Gabriel Valley mountain range approximately 8 miles north of the city. There are no existing residences adjacent to the project that look across the project site to view the San Gabriel mountains. Therefore, the project would not block or interrupted any existing views of the San Gabriel mountains by any residents. The closest residents that look across the site to the San Gabriel mountains to the north are residents are south of Garvey Avenue and more 250 feet south of the project. While direct views of the San Gabriel mountains of the residents south of the site would be partially interrupted by the project, their views would not be completely blocked. Therefore, the south of the project would continue to have some distant views of the San Gabriel mountains to the north. There are no other scenic vistas or Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 23 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 views that would be significantly impacted by the project. Therefore, the project would not have a significant scenic vista impact. b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including but not limited to trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? No Impact. There are no Officially 1 Designated or Eligible State Scenic Highways and no scenic resources such as trees, rock outcroppings, or historic buildings within a state scenic highway either adjacent to or in direct view from the site that would be removed or altered by the project. The closest State Scenic Highway to the project is Route 2 near La Canada Flintridge and approximately 16 miles north of the project site. The project would not impact a state scenic resource. c)In non-urbanized areas, substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of public views of the site and its surroundings? (Public views are those that are experienced from publicly accessible vantage point). If the project is in an urbanized area, would the project conflict with applicable zoning and other regulations governing scenic quality? Less Than 2 Significant Impact. The project is located within an urbanized area. The project would require the demolition of the existing commercial building and the three residential units on the site to develop the proposed four-story mixed-use building and other site improvements. The architecture of the proposed building is Contemporary Style. New landscaping would be installed within the street set-back along the north side of Garvey Avenue, along the west side of Walnut Grove Avenue, along the north project boundary as well as within the second-floor courtyard. The proposed landscaping plan for the project is shown in Figure 11. The architectural design and character of the proposed mixed-use building includes building elevations that are detailed and articulated with projections and recesses to avoid long and plain surfaces. Building massing would be further minimized through the use of differentiated building materials, and colors and the incorporation of architectural features such as extended balconies with glass panels. Renderings of the proposed mixed-use building are shown in Figure 12. The design and Contemporary Style architecture of the proposed building along with landscaped private open space would improve the aesthetics of the site for the existing residents north and east of the site as well as commercial businesses adjacent to the site. The project would also improve the street views of motorists and pedestrians on Walnut Grove and Garvey Avenue by replacing the older commercial building and residential units on the site with a new Contemporary Style architectural mixed-use building as shown above in Figure 12. The Resource Management Element of the City of Rosemead General Plan Update provides goals and policies for open space in Rosemead. The goal and policies that are applicable to the project include: Goal 2 Increase greenspace throughout Rosemead to improve community aesthetics, encourage pedestrian activity, and provide passive cooling benefits. Policy 2.1 Increase landscaping and tree planting along all major arterials, including Valley Boulevard, Garvey Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard and Del Mar Avenue. Policy 2.2 Continue to require all commercial and industrial property owners to maintain landscaping on their property. 1 State of California Officially Designated State Scenic Highways, http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/LandArch/scenichighways/ 2 CEQA Guidelines §15387.

GARVEY/WALNUT GROVE PLAZA I CITY OF ROSEMEAD Source: SLA Architects Figure 12 Building Renderings Policy 2.3 Require new developments to incorporate creative and effective landscaping into the overall site plan of proposed projects. Policy 2.7 Encourage public art projects through the development of impact fees, in-lieu fees, and policies. The project meets the intent of the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan Resource Management Element that addresses landscaping. The project proposes landscaping along the southern project boundary along Garvey Avenue and improves the existing landscaping along the east project boundary adjacent to Walnut Grove Avenue consistent with Policy 2.1. Consistent with Policy 2.2 and 2.3 the project proposes landscaping along the project boundary and within the second-floor mezzanine as required by Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.16.030 to buffer the project from the surrounding land uses. The project meets the above applicable goals and policies and would provide aesthetic enhancements to the area with enhanced landscaping including trees, shrubs, and groundcover to buffer and minimize the visual effects of the project to motorists on Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. Based on the site plan, building elevations and landscape plan, the project meets the intent of the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan. The project would not have any significant aesthetic impacts. d)Create a new source of substantial light or glare that would adversely affect day or nighttime views in the area? Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The existing commercial and residential units on the project currently generate light and glare both on and off the project site. The project would introduce new sources of light and glare on the site compared to the existing uses. While there is light and glare generated from the site associated with the existing on-site uses, the project would increase the amount of light and glare currently generated due to the increased development proposed for the site. Light The project would generate new sources of light from the mixed-use building compared to the existing commercial building and two residential units. Sources of light generated by the project include City required streetlights, interior and exterior lighting of the four-story mixed-use building, landscape lighting, lighting in the parking areas and car headlights. Private street lighting fixtures would include shielding devices and direct or reflect light downward and away from land uses adjacent to the site. Because the proposed four-story mixed-use building is taller and covers more the site than the existing one-story commercial building, the light generated by the proposed four-story, mixed-use building would be more visible from the areas closest to and surrounding the project compared to the light generated by the existing on-site uses. Due to its height, the light generated by the mixed-uses would be more visible to the existing residents north and east of the site. The existing residents north and east of the site would see and experience increased light from the site during the evening and nighttime hours compared to the existing condition. While the additional light generated by the project compared to the existing condition would be more visible to the residents north and east of the site, due to existing lighting in the immediate project area from existing commercial and residential uses, the increased lighting on the site is not anticipated to significantly impact the residents closest to and north and east of the project. The light from the four-story mixed-use building would be visible to the motorists on Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue, but the intensity of the lighting would be similar to and not more intense than the lighting of other commercial uses in the immediate project area. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 27 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 While the headlights of the cars that would drive in and out of the site would increase the amount of light and glare on Walnut Grove Avenue, the headlights of the cars that travel on Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue and that enter and exit the project site generate light in the immediate project vicinity. There is also light that is generated by the Circle K gas station and store at the northeast corner of Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue located adjacent to and east of the project along with other commercial uses in the project area. While the headlights of the cars generated by the project would increase the amount of nighttime light in the immediate project vicinity, the light would not be new or unique to the area due to existing development and would not significantly impact existing commercial or residential uses adjacent to the project. The wall along the north side of the proposed building as shown in Figure 12 and the proposed six-foot wall along the north project boundary would prevent automobile lights from shining directly onto the residential units adjacent to and north of the site. Thus, the headlights of the cars within the ground level and mezzanine parking areas would not shine directly onto the residential units north of the site. The headlights of cars exiting the site at the project driveway would shine directly onto the house and the west facing windows directly east of the project. However, cars currently exiting the site also shine lights directly onto the same residence east of the site. Therefore, the headlights of the cars exiting the project site that would shine on the house directly east of the site would be similar to and not unique or significantly greater than the existing condition. City required parking lot lights, exterior safety and security lighting along with interior lighting of the residential units would be visible to adjacent residents north and east of the site. The headlights of the residents and their guests that enter and leave the site would be new sources of nighttime light and could extend to the existing residences east of the site as cars exit the site from the project ingress/egress driveway at Walnut Grove Avenue. The wall along the north side of the mixed-use building along with would eliminate headlights from the cars in the ground level parking lot from shinning onto the yards and residences of the residents adjacent to and north of the project. The nighttime safety, security and aesthetic lighting associated with the project would be visible to the surrounding land uses, including the light sensitive residents adjacent to and north and east of the site. The single-family detached residences east of the site and east of Walnut Grove Avenue would be impacted mostly by cars leaving the site and their headlights shining onto the residential units directly east of the project driveway. While the interior and exterior lights of the proposed four-story mixed-use building would be greater than the lighting that exists on the site currently, there is lighting in the immediate project vicinity that is generated by the existing commercial development. Therefore, the project would not new sources of lighting that do not already occur in the project area. Although the lighting generated by the project would be greater than exists on the site currently, the increased lighting would not be significantly greater than the intensity of the light of other existing commercial development in the area. In compliance with RMC 17.28.030D.10a, a photometric study was prepared for the project based on the proposed outdoor lighting fixtures and interior parking structure lighting to illuminate the site. The results of the photometric study are shown in Figure 13. The photometric analysis shows that the project would generate minimal off-site light to the residences north of the site. As shown, the foot candles of the light generated by the proposed lighting fixtures for the project to the residence adjacent to and north of the site is a maximum of 0.3. The measured foot candles of light from the project on Walnut Grove Avenue is 1.3 foot-candles. The lighting on Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to the site takes into account lighting from the proposed project along with the street lights along the west side of Walnut Grove Avenue, adjacent to the site. The measured foot candles of light from the project on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the site ranges from a low Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 28 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Qijm!Nbsujo!'!Bttpdjbuft-!Jod/ HBSWFZ0XBMOVU!HSPWF!QMB\[B!}!DJUZ!PG!SPTFNFBE Tpvsdf;!HNFQ!Fohjoffst Gjhvsf!24 Qipupnfusjd!Tuvez of 0.1 to a maximum of 1.6. Again, the measured lighting on Garvey Avenue adjacent to the site takes into account the lighting from the project and the street lights along the north side of Garvey Avenue adjacent to the site. The measured lighting to the commercial use adjacent to and west of the project site ranges from 0.0 to a maximum of 1.3 foot-candles immediately adjacent to the site. The highest measured light of 1.3 foot-candles immediately west of the site is due to the proposed lighting for the mezzanine on the second level of the project along with the exterior safety and security lighting along the west side of the building. The intensity of the light west of the project is less as one moves further west of the site. The lighting industry recognizes a maintenance horizontal luminance of 0.2 foot-candles. For comparison purposes, a medium to bright moon light is approximately 0.3 foot-candles. Based on the photometric study, the lighting plan, as currently proposed, would generate light hotspots ranging from a low of 0.0 up to 0.3 foot-candle to the residences adjacent to and north of the site and 0.0 up to 1.3 foot-candles to the commercial use adjacent to and west of the site. The lighting on the streets adjacent to the site would range from 0.3 foot-candles up to a maximum of 1.8 foot-candles, which includes the street lights along both Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue. While the proposed building exterior wall-mounted lighting fixtures would have light hotspots closest to the building and gradually reduce as the light travels off-site, the photometric study shows that the project lighting that would extend off-site would not be greater than 0.3 foot-candles to the residents adjacent to and north of the project, which is similar to the light from a full moon. The light generated by the project to the commercial use adjacent to and west of the project would generally be less than 0.1 foot-candles, except for the area immediately west of the site where the measured light would be up to 1.3 foot- candles due to the lighting associated with the second-floor mezzanine. The following measure is recommended to reduce on- and off-site lighting impact to 0.1 foot-candles and less than significant. Mitigation Measure No. 1 Prior to the issuance of a building permit the project applicant shall submit a lighting plan for approval by the Planning Division that incorporates the following light reducing measures as applicable: Select lighting fixtures with more-precise optical control and/or different lighting distribution. Relocate and/or change the height and/or orientation of proposed lighting fixtures. Add external shielding and/or internal reflectors to fixtures. Select lower-output lamp/lamp technologies A combination of the above. Glare Glare from the windows and metal surfaces of the proposed mixed-use building could impact adjacent land uses that are glare-sensitive, especially the existing residences north and east of the project site. A 6-foot wall is proposed along the length of the north project boundary. In addition, eight trees are proposed to be planted along the north project boundary within the 5-foot landscape set-back. The 6- foot wall and the trees, once mature, would serve to block and eliminate ground level glare impacts to the residents adjacent to and north of the project. Glare from the apartment windows and metal building materials abo None of the proposed project improvements would reduce or prevent glare from extending to the existing residences east of the site. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 30 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 For the most part, the windows on the second, third and fourth floors that could generate glare are recessed into the building. Because the windows are recessed and somewhat set-back into the building to minimize the angle of the sun shining on the windows, glare from the windows to the residences east of the site would be minimal. Similarly, the glass of the store-fronts on the ground level along Walnut Grove Avenue could also generate glare to the residents east of the site. However, due to the design of the building, including recessed store-fronts and awnings along the top of the storefronts, the glare from the stores on the ground level is not anticipated to significantly impact pedestrians, motorists, and residents east of the site. Similarly, the ground level glass store fronts on the south side of the building, adjacent to Garvey Boulevard, and the windows of the residential units on the second, third and fourth levels, could impact existing commercial uses south of the project. Again, due to the design of the building, including recessed windows of the residential units along the south side of the building and the recessed store-fronts and awnings along the top of the storefronts, the glare from the residential units and the stores on the ground level is not anticipated to significantly impact pedestrians, motorists and commercial land uses south of the site. Overall, the light and glare impacts to the existing residents north of the site, the pedestrians, motorists and residents east of the site and the pedestrians, motorists and commercial land uses south of the site would be less than significant. II.AGRICULTURE AND FORESTRY RESOURCES: Would the project: a)Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (Farmland) as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources Agency, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. The project site is developed with a commercial building, a duplex and a single-family detached residence. There are no agricultural uses either on or adjacent to the site. Area Not Mapped State of 3 California Department of Conservation as of 2016, which means the site has not been mapped for agricultural purposes by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). Therefore, the project would not convert prime, unique, or farmland of statewide importance to non-agricultural use and impact farmland. b)Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act contract? No Impact. The project site is not in a Williamson Act contact. The existing C-3 zoning for the site and the adjacent surrounding properties does not allow agricultural use. The project would not conflict with any existing agricultural use in the immediate vicinity of the project an existing Williamson Act contract since there are no agricultural uses adjacent to the site. c)Conflict with existing zoning for, or cause rezoning of, forest land (as defined in Public Resources Code section 12220(g)), timberland (as defined by Public Resources Code section 4526), or timberland zoned Timberland Production (as defined by Government Code section 51104(g))? No Impact. There are no timber or forests in the City of Rosemead. The existing C-3 zoning does not allow timber or forest production and the project is not proposing timberland production on the site. The project would not impact any forest or timber production since none existing and is not allowed in the city. d)Result in the loss of forest land or conversion of forest land to non-forest use? No Impact. See Response to Sc e)Involve other changes in the existing environment, which due to their location or nature, could individually or cumulatively result in the loss of Farmland, to non-agricultural use? No Impact. 3 https://maps.conservation.ca.gov/DLRP/CIFF/ Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 31 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 As discussed in Sve, the project would not result in the loss of any farmland, either individually or cumulatively and would not have any impact to farmland. III. AIR QUALITY: Would the project: a)Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? Less Than Significant Impact. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is the primary federal agency for regulating air quality. The EPA implements the provisions of the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA). This Act establishes National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that are applicable nationwide. The EPA designates areas with pollutant concentrations that do not meet the NAAQS as non-attainment areas for each criteria pollutant. States are required by the FCAA to prepare State Implementation Plans (SIP) for designated non-attainment areas. The SIP is required to demonstrate how the areas would attain the NAAQS by the prescribed deadlines and what measures would be required to attain the standards. The EPA also oversees implementation of the prescribed measures. Areas that achieve the NAAQS after a non-attainment designation are redesignated as maintenance areas and must have approved Maintenance Plans to ensure continued attainment of the NAAQS. The California Clean Air Act (CCAA) required all air pollution control districts in the state to prepare plans to reduce pollutant concentrations exceeding the California Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS) and ultimately achieve the CAAQS. The districts are required to review and revise these plans every three years. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), in which the project is located, satisfies this requirement through the publication of an Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). The AQMP is developed by SCAQMD and the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) in coordination with local governments and the private sector. The AQMP is incorporated into the SIP by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to satisfy FCAA requirements discussed above. The CCAA requires plans to demonstrate attainment of the NAAQS for which an area is designated as nonattainment. Further, the CCAA requires SCAQMD to revise its plan to reduce pollutant concentrations exceeding the CAAQS every three years. In the South Coast Air Basin (SCAB), SCAQMD and SCAG, in coordination with local governments and the private sector, develop the AQMP for the air basin to satisfy these requirements. The AQMP is the most important air management document for the basin because it provides the blueprint for meeting state and federal ambient air quality standards. On December 7, 2012, the 2012 AQMP was adopted by the SCAQMD Governing Board. The primary task of the 2012 AQMP is to bring the basin into attainment with federal health-based standards for unhealthful fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by 2014. The document states that to have any reasonable expectation of meeting the 2023 ozone deadline, the scope and pace of continued air quality improvement must greatly intensify. AQMPs are required to be updated every three years. The 2016 AQMP was adopted by the SCAQMD Board on March 3, 2017, and has been submitted to the California Air Resources Board for forwarding to the EPA. The 2016 AQMP acknowledges that motor vehicle emissions have been effectively controlled and that reductions in NOx, the continuing ozone problem pollutant, may need to come from major stationary sources (power plants, refineries, landfill flares, etc.). The current attainment deadlines for all federal non-attainment pollutants are now as follows: 8-hour ozone (70 ppb) 2032 3 Annual PM-2.5 (12 g/m) 2025 8-hour ozone (75 ppb) 2024 (old standard) 1-hour ozone (120 ppb) 2023 (rescinded standard) 3 24-hour PM-2.5 (35 g/m) 2019 Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 32 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 The proposed project does not directly relate to the AQMP in that there are no specific air quality programs or regulations governing mixed-use development projects. The conformity of a proposed project with adopted plans, forecasts and programs relative to population, housing, employment and land use is the primary yardstick by which the significance of a project impact of planned growth is determined. The SCAQMD, however, while acknowledging that the AQMP is a growth-accommodating document, does not favor designating regional impacts as less than significant just because a proposed development is consistent with regional growth projections. The potential air quality impact significance of the proposed project is therefore analyzed on a project-specific basis. As shown in the analysis below, the specific project construction and operational emissions are less than significant and as a result, would not obstruct implementation of the SCAB 2016 Air Quality Management Plan. b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutants for which the project region is non-attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard? Less Than Significant Impact. Cumulative projects include local development as well as general growth within the project area. However, as with most development, the greatest source of emissions is from mobile sources, which travel well out of the local area. Therefore, from an air quality standpoint, the cumulative analysis would extend beyond any local projects and when wind patterns are considered, would cover an even larger area. The project is located within the SCAB and non-attainment for ozone and PM particulate matter. 10 Construction and operation of cumulative projects would further degrade the local air quality, as well as the air quality of the South Coast Air Basin. The greatest cumulative impact on the regional air quality is the incremental addition of pollutants mainly from increased traffic from residential, commercial, and industrial development and the use of heavy equipment and trucks associated with the construction of these projects. Air quality would be temporarily degraded during construction activities that occur separately or simultaneously. However, in accordance with the SCAQMD methodology, projects that do not exceed the SCAQMD criteria or can be mitigated to less than criteria levels are not significant and do not add to the overall cumulative impact. As stated in sectihe project would not generate any short- or long-term air emissions that exceed SCAQMD emission thresholds. Therefore, the project would not have any significant cumulative criteria pollutant impacts. c)Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? Potentially Significant 4 Unless Mitigation Incorporated. An air quality and greenhouse gas report was prepared for the project and a copy is included in Appendix A of this MND. A sensitive receptor is a person in the population who is particularly susceptible to health effects due to exposure to an air contaminant. The following are land uses (sensitive sites) where sensitive receptors are typically located: Schools, playgrounds and childcare centers Long-term health care facilities Rehabilitation centers Convalescent centers Hospitals Retirement homes 5 Residences 4 Air Quality and GHG Analysis, Garvey Walnut Mixed Use Project, City of Rosemead, Ca, Giroux & Associates, November 23, 2020. 5South Coast Air Quality Management District, Guidance Document for Addressing Air Quality Issues in General Plans and Local Planning, Chapter 2, page 2-1. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 33 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 The closest sensitive receptors to the project site are the residents adjacent to and north of the site and the residents that are approximately 100 feet east of the site, east of Walnut Grove Avenue. Criteria Pollutants, Health Effects, and Standards Under the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA), the U.S. EPA has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for six major pollutants; ozone (O), respirable particulatematter (PM), fine 310 particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO), and 2.522 lead. These six air pollutants are referred to as the criteria pollutants. The NAAQS are two tiered: primary, to protect public health, and secondary, to prevent degradation to the environment (i.e., impairment of visibility, damage to vegetation and property). Under the California Clean Air Act (CCAA), the California Air Resources Board has established California Ambient Air QualityStandards (CAAQS) toprotect the health and welfare of Californians. State standards have been established for the six criteria pollutants as well as four additional pollutants; visibility reducing particles, sulfates, hydrogen sulfide, and vinyl chloride. Table 1 presents the state and national ambient air quality standards. Table 2 shows the health effects of the various pollutants. Monitored Air Quality Air quality at any site is dependent on the regional air quality and local pollutant sources. Regional air quality is determined by the release of pollutants throughout the air basin. Long term air quality monitoring is carried out by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) at 38 air- monitoring areas with a designated ambient air monitoring station in most areas. Existing and probable future levels of air quality in Pomona can be best inferred from the ambient air quality measurements conducted bySCAQMD at its Pomona, Upland and Ontario (near Route 60) air monitoring stations. These stations measure both regional pollution levels such as ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and PM-2.5 dust (particulates). Table 3 summarizes the last four years of monitoring data from a composite of these data resources. The following conclusions can be drawn from this data: Photochemical smog (ozone) levels occasionally exceed air quality standards. The 8-hour state ozone standard has been exceeded on ninepercent of all days. The 1-hour state standard as well as the 8-hour federal standard have been exceeded approximately five percent of all days in the past four years. While ozone levels are still high, they are lower than 10 to 20 years ago. Attainmentof all clean air standards in the project vicinity is not likely to occur soon, but the severity and frequency of violations is expected to continue to slowly decline during the current decade. Measurements of carbon monoxide have shown low baseline levels in comparison to the most stringent one-and eight-hour standards. Respirable dust (PM-10) levels exceed the state standard on approximately four percent of measurement days, but the less stringent federal PM-10 standard has not been violated once for the same time period. Year to year fluctuations of overall maximum 24-hour PM-10 levels seem to follow no discernable trend, though 2016 had the lowest maximum 24-hour concentration in recent history. A substantial fraction of PM-10 is comprised of ultra-small diameter particulates capable of being inhaled into deep lung tissue (PM-2.5). Both the frequencyof violations of particulate standards, as well as high percentage of PM-2.5, are occasional air quality concerns in the Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 34 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 Table 1 Ambient Air Quality Standards Ambient Air Quality Standards Averaging California Standards' National Standards' Pollutant Time Concentration' Method' Primary" Secondary'" Method' 1 Har 0.09 ppmpg/m) pg/m Ozone (O,)s UxreviaMl same as Ultraviolet 9 Har 0.070 ppm (137 pym') 0.070 ppm 1137 pg'm'1 Photometry Pnnwy Standard Photometry Respirable 24 Hour 50 Pryor' 150 Vgm' Inert41 Separation Particulate GraBets tten icio Same as and Giar,mstrc Annual q 9Ma Attenwfion Pnmary SterMard Analsis Matter (PM10) Antnmeac Meen � wmr — y Fine Particulate 24 tierce 35 k9rn Sane as Primary Standard Inertial Separeeorl Matter Annwl 12 Win' Gra meaito pym' IS V91n retnc end Gavlm MNyvs e (PM2.5) Anthmenc Mean Bete Attenuation12.0 1 Hour 20 ppm (23 ng'.') 35 ppm 140 mp'm' I — Carbon Non-Dmpararn Nom Dtsperv,a Monoxide 9 Har 9.0 ppm 110 mym' 1 Inhered Photon" 9 ppm 110 mgm'1 — Inhered Photomeor, (C O) INDIRI NDIR• 8 Hour Bppm f7 mym'I — — Lake Tahoe Nitrogen 1Hour 0.18 Ppm 1339"wrn'1 100 ppb (188 p9'm') Dioxide Gets Phase Gas Phase AnnArMrtaoc Mean 0 030 Porn 157 pym'I 0.053 ppn (100 i gi (NOx)o Cha niumneiounce CllerrlixrrninncerKe pmywSWX*d 1 Hour 0.25 ppm 1655 1,V.') 75 ppb (196 pglm') — 111trevialM 3 Hour — _ 0.5 ppm Sulfur Dioxide utva ioht (1800 pgfm') F(01 ti p SWcaapebmwy x " (SO) Fluorescence 24 Hour 0 04 ppm (105 Vym')ft (for rw)n — I ( Method) Annwl_ 0.030 ppm Antheoc kwan m (tor certain antes " _ 30 Day Average 1.5 Pymm' — — ans 1.5 Pg�m' tx.n Lead Calendar Quarter — Atomic Aeaorpom sea aiw Ab Ito chain areas)" Same as Atempl an PnmarY Standard pr01t Rolling 3-Molih — 0.15 pg'm' Average Visibility seta Attenuation and Reducing 8 How See footnote 14 Teens trance No Particles" through FFlter Tape National Sulfates 24 Har 25 pym' len axomatogr.pny Hydrogen t 11ocr 0.03 ppm N2 V9'n' 1 Ulee.0101 Sulfide Fluorescance Standards Vinyl 24 Hour 0ppm (28 pyrnl 01 ' We ChloriChloride"- C aPM See footnotes on next page ... f.. mol. more m.non plc... r.9 ABB-PIO at (916) 322-2990 ('alifornin Air Resources Board (511/16) Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed -Use Project Page 35 Mitigated Negative Declaration — May 4, 2021 Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 36 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Table 2 Health Effects of Major Criteria Pollutants Pollutants Sources Primary Effects Carbon Monoxide Incomplete combustion of fuels and other Reduced tolerance for exercise.

Air Emission Thresholds ds to assess the impact of project related air pollutant emissions. These emissions are shown in Table 4. As shown, there are separate thresholds for short-term construction and long-term operational emissions. A project with daily emission rates below these thresholds is considered to have a less than significant effect on air quality. The thresholds shown below are used to evaluate the potential project air emission impacts of the project.

Because such emissions are not amenable to collection and discharge through a controlled source they are called "fugitive on rates vary as a function of many parameters (soil silt, soil moisture, wind speed, area disturbed, number of vehicles, depth of disturbance or excavation, etc.). Because of the inherent uncertainty in the predictive factors for estimating fugitive dust generation, regulatory agencies typically use one universal "default" factor based on the area disturbed assuming that all other input parameters into emission rate prediction fall into midrange average values.

CalEEMod was developed by the SCAQMD to provide a model to calculate both construction and operational emissions from a variety of land use projects. It calculates both the daily maximum and annual average emissions for criteria pollutants as well as total or annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Estimated construction emissions were modeled using CalEEMod2016.3.2 to identify maximum daily emissions for each pollutant during project construction are shown in Table 5 using default construction equipment and a construction schedule for a project of the size proposed. Utilizing the equipment fleet in Table 5, the worst-case daily construction emissions were calculated and are shown in Table 6.

The only model-based mitigation measure that was applied to the project was watering exposed dirt surfaces at least three times per day during grading to minimize the generation of fugitive dust as required by SCAQMD Rule 403. The project would be required to comply with SCAQMD rules to reduce fugitive dust emissions during project construction and the life of the project. Project compliance with Rule 403 is achieved through the application of standard best management practices during construction and operation activities, which include the application of water or chemical stabilizers to disturbed soils, manage haul road dust by the use of water, cover haul vehicles, restrict vehicle speeds on on-site unpaved roads to 15 mph, sweep loose dirt from paved site access roadways, stop construction activity when wind speeds exceed 25 mph and establish a permanent ground cover on finished areas. While construction activities are not anticipated to cause dust emissions to exceed SCAQMD CEQA thresholds, especially with compliance with Rule 403, the following mitigation measure is recommended for enhanced dust control because the air basin is non-attainment. Mitigation Measure No. 2 Prior to the start and throughout project construction, the contractor shall implement and maintain the following fugitive dust control measures: Apply soil stabilizers or moisten inactive areas. Water exposed surfaces as needed to avoid visible dust leaving the construction site (typically 2-3 times/day). Cover all stockpiles with tarps at the end of each day or as needed. Provide water spray during loading and unloading of earthen materials. Minimize in-out traffic from construction zone. Cover all trucks hauling dirt, sand, or loose material and require all trucks to maintain at least two feet of freeboard. Sweep streets daily if visible soil material is carried out from the construction site. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 40 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Similarly, ozone precursor emissions (ROG and NOx) are calculated to be below SCAQMD thresholds. However, because of the regional non-attainment for photochemical smog, the use of reasonably available control measures to control diesel exhaust emissions is recommended. The following mitigation measure is recommended to control combustion emissions: Mitigation Measure No. 3 Throughout project construction the contractor shall: Utilize well-tuned off-road construction equipment. Establish a preference for contractors using Tier 3 or better heavy equipment. Enforce 5-minute idling limits for both on-road trucks and off-road equipment. Construction-Related Toxic Air Contaminant Impacts The greatest potential for toxic air contaminant emissions from the project would be due to diesel particulate emissions due to the operation of heavy equipment operations during construction of the project. According to SCAQMD methodology, health effects from carcinogenic air toxics are described concentrations of toxic air contaminants over a 30-year lifetime would contract cancer, based on the use of standard risk-assessment methodology. Given the relatively limited number of heavy-duty construction equipment and the short-term construction schedule, the project would not result in a long- term (i.e., 30 years) substantial source of toxic air contaminant emissions and corresponding individual cancer risk. Furthermore, construction-based particulate matter (PM) emissions (including diesel exhaust emissions) do not exceed local or regional thresholds. Therefore, no significant short-term toxic air contaminant impacts would occur during project construction. Localized Significance Thresholds The SCAQMD developed analysis parameters to evaluate ambient air quality on a local level in addition to the more regional emissions-based thresholds of significance. These analysis elements are called Environmental Justice Enhancement Initiative 1-4 and the LST methodology was provisionally adopted in October 2003 and formally aobile Source Committee in February 2005. LST screening tables are available for 25, 50, 100, 200- and 500-meter source-receptor distances. For the proposed project, there are residential uses adjacent to and north of the project site. Therefore, the most conservative 25-meter distance was modeled. There are also residents approximately 100 feet east of the project, east of Walnut Grove Avenue. For the project, the primary source of potential LST impact would be during construction. LSTs are applicable for a sensitive receptor where it is possible that an individual could remain for 24 hours such as a residence, hospital or convalescent facility. LSTs are only applicable to the following criteria pollutants: oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and particulate matter (PM-10 and PM- 2.5) and represent the maximum emissions by a project that are not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of the most stringent applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. The following LST thresholds and estimated emissions (pounds per day) are shown in Table 7 based on a disturbance of 1.0 acre per day. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 41 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Table 7 LST and Project Emissions (pounds/day) LST 1.0 acres/100 meters CO NOx PM-10 PM-2.5 SE LA County LST Threshold 1,088 94 30 8 Max. On-Site Emissions 23 33 4 2 As shown, the project construction emissions are less than the LST emission thresholds. As a result, project construction emissions would be less than significant. Operational Emission Impacts The calculated operational emissions generated by the project based on CalEEMod2016.3.2 are shown in Table 8. As shown, the operational emissions would not exceed SCAQMD operational emission thresholds of significance. The construction and long-term operational emissions by the project would be less than significant.

No No No No No No *no wood burning fireplaces-only natural gas Source: CalEEMod Output in Appendix d)Result in other emissions (such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of people? Less Than Significant Impact. The closest residents to the project are adjacent to and north of the site. In addition, there are existing residences approximately 100 feet east of the project, east of Walnut Grove Avenue. As shown in Table 6 above, the project would not exceed the threshold of any measured pollutant during project construction. Similarly, as shown in Table 8, the project would not exceed any measured pollutant during the operational life of the project. Depending on wind patterns, some diesel odors associated with the operation of construction equipment could extend to the residents north of the site during project construction. However, this condition would be temporary and short-term when larger diesel-powered construction equipment would be operating on the site which would be to demolish the existing buildings on the site and grade the site. Once project demolition and grading are completed the use of diesel-powered equipment on the site would be minimal. Although there would be a potential for odors due to the operation of diesel-powered construction equipment to extend to the residents adjacent to and north of the site and possibly the residents that are approximately 100 feet east of the site, the project is not anticipated to generate any emissions or odors during either construction or the operational life of the project and significantly impact the residents closest to the site. The project would not generate any objectionable odors and significantly impact any area sensitive receptors. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 42 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 IV. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Would the project: a)Have substantial adverse effects, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special status species in local or regional plans, policies or regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. The project site is developed with a commercial building, surface parking lot, a duplex, a single-family detached residential unit, and three-car garage and other site improvements. The site has introduced urban landscaping, including street trees along the adjacent streets, small areas of turf and a few shrubs. The landscaping on the site is minimal and does not support any wildlife species. Due to the minimal on-site habitat there are no special candidate, sensitive or special status animal species on the site and none of the existing introduced non-native urban landscaping is a candidate for a sensitive or special status species. The project would not significantly impact wildlife or wildlife habitat. b)Have substantial adverse impact on any riparian habitat or other natural community identified in local or regional plans, policies, and regulations or by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service? No Impact. The site was disturbed in the past with the development of the commercial building, the residential units and the other site improvements. There is no riparian habitat or other natural communities either on or adjacent to the site. The project would not impact any riparian or other natural communities. c)Have a substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filing, hydrological interruption, or other means? No Impact. Please see S d)Interfere substantially with the movement of any native resident or migratory fish or wildlife species or with established native resident or migratory wildlife corridors, or impede the use of native wildlife nursery sites? No Impact. The project is located in an urbanized area surrounded by residential and commercial use. There is no habitat on the site that serves or could serve as a migratory wildlife corridor or nursery site. The project would not impact or impede any wildlife corridors or wildlife nursery sites. e)Conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, such as tree preservation policy or ordinance? No Impact. There are introduced street trees along both Garvey Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to the site. There are no oak trees that would be removed by the project. Therefore, no oak trees would require protection or replacement in compliance with Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 17.104 Oak Tree Preservation. The project would not have any oak tree or any other tree preservation impacts. The project would not impact any local policies that protect biological resources, including trees. f)Conflict with the provisions of an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan? No Impact. The City of Rosemead is not located within an adopted Habitat Conservation Plan, Natural Community Conservation Plan, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. The project would not conflict with and impact any habitat or natural community conservation plan. V. CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the project: a) Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource pursuant to §15064.5? No Impact. The site has been developed with a commercial building and residential units since 1977 and are less than 50 years old. Thus, the commercial building and residences are not a candidate as a historical resource. Therefore, the project would not impact any historical resources. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 43 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 b)Cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a unique archaeological resource as defined in §15064.5? Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated. The site was disturbed in the past with the construction of the existing commercial building, residences, and other site improvements for the commercial building. The project site is located in an urbanized area that has been disturbed associated with development activities on both the project site and the adjacent properties. Because the project site has been disturbed in the past with grading and construction of a commercial building and residential units, any cultural resources that may have existed near the surface have been previously unearthed or disturbed. There are no records of any recorded archaeological resources either on or adjacent to the project site. Despite previous disturbances of the project site in the past that may have displaced archaeological resources on the surface, it is possible that intact archaeological resources could exist below the surface area of the site that was previously undisturbed during grading. As a result, Mitigation Measures No. 4 through 7 are recommended to reduce potentially significant archaeological and Tribal resource impacts to previously undiscovered resources that may be encountered during project grading and construction to less than significant. Mitigation Measure No. 4 The project developer shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist ifications and Standards, to conduct an Archaeological Sensitivity Training for construction personnel prior to commencement of excavation activities. The training session shall be carried out by a cultural resource professional with expertise in archaeology, who meets the U.S. Secretary session shall include a handout and will focus on how to identify archaeological resources that may be encountered during earthmoving activities and the procedures to be followed in such an event, the duties of archaeological monitors, and the general steps a qualified professional archaeologist would follow in conducting a salvage investigation if one is necessary. Mitigation Measure No. 5 In the event that archaeological resources are unearthed during ground- disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 50 feet shall be established around the find where construction activities shall not be allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist has examined the newly discovered artifact(s) and has evaluated the area of the find. Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities shall be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Qualifications and Standards. Should the newly discovered artifacts be determined to be prehistoric, Native American Tribes/Individuals shall be contacted and consulted, and Native American construction monitoring shall be initiated. The project developer and the City shall coordinate with the archaeologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 44 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Mitigation Measure No. 6 The project developer shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist, and Standards to conduct periodic Archaeological Spot Checks beginning at depths below 2f construction excavations have exposed or have a high probability to expose archaeological resources. After the initial Archaeological Spot Check, further periodic checks shall be conducted at the discretion of the qualified archaeologist. If the qualified archaeologist determines that construction excavations have exposed or have a high probability to expose archaeological artifacts construction monitoring for Archaeological Resources shall be required. The project developer shall retain a qualified archaeological monitor, who will work under the guidance and direction of a professional archaeologist, who meets the qualifications set forth by the U.S. archaeological monitor shall be present during all construction excavations (e.g., grading, trenching, or clearing/grubbing) into non-fill younger Pleistocene alluvial sediments. Multiple earth-moving construction activities may require multiple archaeological monitors. The frequency of monitoring shall be based on the rate of excavation and grading activities, proximity to known archaeological resources, the materials being excavated (native versus artificial fill soils), and the depth of excavation, and if found, the abundance and type of archaeological resources encountered. Full-time monitoring can be reduced to part-time inspections if determined adequate by the project archaeologist. Mitigation Measure No. 7 The archaeological monitor, under the direction of a qualified professional Qualifications and Standards, shall prepare a final report at the conclusion of archaeological monitoring. The report shall be submitted to the project developer, the South Central Costal Information Center, the City, and representatives of other appropriate or concerned agencies to signify the satisfactory completion of the project and required mitigation measures. The report shall include a description of resources unearthed, if any, evaluation of the resources with respect to the California Register and CEQA, and treatment of the resources. c)Disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries? No Impact. The project site has not been used as a cemetery in the past. In addition, the site is not known to have been used for any activities that have resulted in human remains being present on the property. In the unlikely event that human remains are found during construction, those remains would require proper treatment, in accordance with applicable laws. State of California Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5-7055 describe the general provisions for human remains. Specifically, Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 describes the requirements if any human remains are accidentally discovered during excavation of a site. As required by State law, the requirements and procedures set forth in Section 5097.98 of the California Public Resources Code would be implemented, including notification of the County Coroner, notification of the Native American Heritage Commission, and consultation with the individual identified by the Native American Herit human remains are found during excavation, the excavation must stop in the vicinity of the find and in any area that is reasonably suspected to contain remains adjacent to the find, until the County Coroner has been called, the remains have been investigated, and appropriate recommendations have been made for the treatment and disposition of the remains. Following compliance with State regulations, Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 45 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 which detail the appropriate actions necessary in the event human remains are encountered, impacts in this regard would be considered less than significant. Compliance with Health and Safety Code Sections 7050.5-7055 and Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, related to protection of human remains, would reduce potential impacts associated with future development project proposals to a less than significant level. VI. ENERGY: Would the project: a)Result in potentially significant environmental impact due to wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources, during project construction or operation? Less Than Significant Impact. Informat energy implications, are discussed in greater detail elsewhere in this MND, including section VIII (Greenhouse Gas Emissions) and section XVII (Transportation) of this MND. Construction-Related Energy Consumption Heavy-duty construction equipment associated with demolition, grading, the construction of utilities, paving, and building construction would include, excavators, graders, tractors/loaders/backhoes, dozers, scrapers, air compressors, cranes, forklifts, generators, pumps, welders, rollers, trenchers and pavers. The majority of the equipment would likely be diesel-fueled; however, smaller equipment, such as air compressors and forklifts may be electric, gas, or natural gas-fueled. For the purposes of this assessment, it is assumed the construction equipment would be diesel-fueled, due to the speculative nature of specifying the amounts and types of non-diesel equipment that might be used, and the difficulties in calculating the energy, which would be consumed by this non-diesel equipment. The number of construction workers required to construct the project would vary based on the phase of construction and the activity taking place. The transportation fuel required by construction workers to travel to and from the site would depend on the total number of worker trips estimated for the duration of construction activity. A 2007 study by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) estimates the statewide average fuel economy for all vehicle types (automobiles, trucks, and 6 motorcycles) in the year 2020 is 18.78 miles per gallon. Assuming construction worker vehicles have an average fuel economy consistent with the Caltrans study and each construction worker commutes an average of 20 miles a day to and from the site, the maximum 25 workers on-site during each phase of project construction is estimated to consume approximately 27 gallons of gasoline a day. Assuming all 25 construction workers are employed at the site for a year (52 weeks), the fuel used by construction workers commuting to the site is approximately 173 barrels (6,922 gallons) of gasoline and represents less than 0.0005 percent of the statewide transportation gasoline consumption in 2017, which is the 7 latest year that data is available. Construction equipment fuels (e.g., diesel, gasoline, natural gas) would be provided by local or regional suppliers and vendors. Electricity would be supplied by the local utility provider (e.g., Southern California Edison) via existing connections. A temporary water supply, primarily for fugitive dust suppression and street sweeping, would also be supplied by the local provider (e.g., San Gabriel Valley Water Company). Electricity used during construction to provide temporary power for lighting and electronic equipment (e.g., computers, etc.) inside temporary construction trailers and for outdoor lighting when necessary for general construction activity would generally not result in a substantial increase in on-site electricity use. Electricity use during construction would be variable depending on lighting needs and the use of 6 2007 California Motor Vehicle Stock, Travel and Fuel Forecast, California Department of Transportation, Table 1, (2008). 7 California 2017 Transportation gasoline consumption 366,820 barrels; https://www.eia.gov/state/seds/sep_fuel/html/pdf/fuel_mg.pdf Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 46 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 electric-powered equipment and would be temporary for the duration of construction activities. Thus, electricity use during construction would generally be considered negligible. Energy Conservation: Regulatory Compliance The project would utilize construction contractors who demonstrate compliance with applicable CARB regulations governing the accelerated retrofitting, repowering, or replacement of heavy-duty diesel on- and off-road equipment. CARB has adopted an Airborne Toxic Control Measure to limit heavy-duty diesel motor vehicle idling in order to reduce public exposure to diesel particulate matter and other Toxic Air Contaminants (TACs). Compliance with the above anti-idling and emissions regulations would result in a more efficient use of construction-related energy and minimize or eliminate wasteful and unnecessary consumption of energy. With respect to solid waste, CALGreen requires 65% of most construction and demolition waste be diverted from a landfill. The project would generate various types of debris during project demolition and construction. Concrete and asphalt that is removed from the site during demolition can either be ground and reused on the site as base material for driveways or sold to a recycler. Republic Services is the contract solid waste hauler for the City of Rosemead and would serve the project. The solid waste from the project will be hauled to the Puente Hills Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in the City of Whittier and operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. The MRF separates recyclable material from municipal solid waste and all residual waste is hauled to permitted landfills and all recovered recyclable materials are recycled in compliance with state law. Anticipated Energy Consumption The daily operation of the project would generate a demand for electricity, natural gas, and water supply, as well as generating wastewater requiring conveyance, treatment and disposal off-site, and solid waste requiring off-site disposal. Southern California Edison is the electrical purveyor in the City of Rosemead and would provide electricity to the project. The Southern California Gas Company is the natural gas purveyor in the City and would provide natural gas to the project. Energy Conservation: Regulatory Compliance The California Energy Commission (CEC) first adopted the Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential and Nonresidential Buildings (CCR, Title 24, Part 6) in 1978 in response to a legislative mandate to reduce energy consumption in the state. Part 11 of the Title 24 Building Standards Code is referred to rove public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of building concepts having a positive environmental impact and encouraging sustainable construction practices in the following categories: (1) Planning and design; (2) Energy efficiency; (3) Water efficiency and conservation; (4) 8 As of January 1, 2011, CALGreen is mandatory for the construction of all new buildings in the state. CALGreen establishes mandatory measures for new residential and non-residential buildings. Such mandatory measures include energy efficiency, water conservation, material conservation, planning and design and overall 9 environmental quality. CALGreen was most recently updated in 2016 to include new mandatory measures for residential as well as nonresidential uses; the new measures took effect on January 1, 10 2017. The project would be required by the City to comply with the applicable provisions of Title 24 and CALGreen. 8 California Building Standards Commission, 2016 California Green Building Standards Code, (2016). 9 Ibid. 10 Ibid. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 47 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 With respect to solid waste, the project is required to comply with applicable regulations, including those pertaining to waste reduction and recycling as required by the State of California. The waste hauler serving the project would divert project-generated municipal waste in accordance with applicable city ordinances. Energy Conservation: Project Design Features The project would be designed to include green building, energy saving, and water saving measures and other sustainability features. Consistent with the CALGreen, the project would be required to meet and comply with the residential mandatory measures that include water efficiency and conservation, material conservation and resource efficiency, environmental quality, etc. As such, the project would be designed to reduce wasteful, inefficient, and unnecessary consumption of energy. Estimated Energy Consumption The long-term operation of the project would result in transportation energy use primarily for residents that commute to and from their place of employment. Transportation fuels, primarily gasoline, would be provided by local or regional suppliers and vendors. As discussed previously, in 2017, California consumed a total of 366,820 thousand barrels of gasoline for transportation, which is part of the total 11 annual consumption nationwide of 3,404,186 barrels by the transportation sector. Project-related vehicles woul. A 2008 study by Caltrans determined that the statewide average fuel economy for all vehicle types 12 (automobiles, trucks, and motorcycles) in 2020 would be 18.78 miles per gallon. Alternative-Fueled Vehicles Alternative-fueled, electric, and hybrid vehicles could be used by some of the project residents, commercial space employees and customers. The use of these types of alternative fueled vehicles would reduce the overall consumption of gasoline by the project. The effect is anticipated to be minimal ehicle market due to the relatively few alternative vehicles that are in use. According to the Los Angeles Times, alternative-fueled vehicles make up approximately 2.3% of all vehicles 13 registered in California. The above transportation fuel estimates for the project do not account for alternative-fueled, electric, and hybrid vehicles, which are more energy efficient vehicles. Thus, the assessment is a conservative estimate of transportation fuel consumption. The project would not have any wasteful, inefficient or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during either the construction of the project or the life of the project because the project would be required to comply with all applicable state energy conservation measures. b)Conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency? Less Than Significant Impact. The project would be required by the City to comply with all applicable CALGreen and Title 24 state energy requirements to minimize energy consumption. Therefore, the project would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local energy plan. The project would not significantly impact an energy plan. 11 U.S. Energy Information Administration, Table F3: Motor Gasoline Consumption, Price, and Expenditure Estimates, 2017, https://www.eia.gov/state/seds/sep_fuel/html/pdf/fuel_mg.pdf. 12 California Department of Transportation, 2008 California Motor Vehicle Stock, Travel and Fuel Forecast (June 2009). 13 Los Angeles Times, Electric, hybrid car sales up, California auto emissions down, May 22, 2014, http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-electric-vehicle-sales-up-auto-emissions-down-20140521- story.html. Accessed August 2014. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 48 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 VII. GEOLOGY AND SOILS: Would the project: a)Director or indirectly cause substantial adverse effects, including the risk of loss, injury, or death involving: i. Rupture of a known earthquake fault, as delineated on the most recent Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning map issued by the State Geologist for the area or based on other substantial evidence of a known fault? (Refer to Division of Mines and Geology Special 14 Publication 42.) Less Than Significant Impact. A geotechnical report was prepared for the project and a copy is included in Appendix B of this MND. 15 The project site is not located within a state-designated Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. The nearest known active regional fault to the site is the Upper Elysian Park fault that is located approximately 1.1 miles from the site. Figure 5-3 of the City of Rosemead General Plan also shows that the project site is not located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone and Figure 5-4 of the City of Rosemead General Plan shows the project is not located in a Fault Hazard Management Zone. While there are faults in the region that could generate moderate to significant ground shaking at the site, the incorporation of the recommendations in section 8.0 of the geotechnical report regarding design and seismic loading in compliance with the 2016 California Building Codes (CBC) and all other local building codes would reduce potential fault impacts to less than significant. ii. Strong seismic ground shaking? Less Than Significant Impact. Because the project site is located in Southern California and a seismically active area, there is the potential for strong ground motion at the site. The Upper Elysian Park fault is the closest known active fault to the site. As with all projects in the City of Rosemead, the design and construction of the project and all site improvement must comply with the current 2016 CBC and all applicable local building codes. Project compliance with the 2016 CBC and applicable building codes would reduce potential strong ground shaking impacts to less than significant. iii. Seismic-related ground failure, including liquefaction? Less Than Significant Impact. Liquefaction is a phenomenon when loose, saturated, relatively cohesionless soil deposits lose their shear strength during strong ground motions. The primary factors controlling liquefaction include intensity and duration of ground motion, gradation characteristics of the subsurface soils, in-situ stress conditions, and the depth to groundwater. Liquefaction is typified by a loss of shear strength in the liquefied layers due to rapid increases in pore water pressure generated by earthquake accelerations. Based on Figure 5-5 of the City of Rosemead General Plan the project site is located within an area that is susceptible to an earthquake induced liquefaction. Because the project site is located in an area that is susceptible to liquefaction, the soils on the site were evaluated for the potential for 16 liquefaction. Based on the laboratory results, the on-site soils are not subject to liquefaction. Therefore, the project is not subject to liquefaction and the impact is less than significant. iv. Landslides? No Impact. The project site ranges in elevation from 261 feet above mean sea level at near the southwest corner of the site to 263 feet at the north east corner of the site, a difference 14 Report of Geotechnical Engineering Investigation, Proposed 4-Story Mixed Use Development with 1-Level Subterranean Garage, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue and nearby lots, APN 5288-001-040, 042, 043, Rosemead, California, Cal Land Engineering, November 8, 2019. 15 Ibid, page 5, Section 4.1. 16 Ibid, page 6, Section 5.1 Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 49 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 of 2 feet. Thus, the project site is basically flat and the properties that are adjacent to the site are also basically flat. The project would not be impacted by landslides. b)Result in substantial soil erosion or loss of topsoil? Less Than Significant Impact. The City would require the grading and construction contractor to install and maintain all applicable City required short-term construction soil erosion control measures to reduce and minimize soil erosion impacts throughout project grading and construction. The contractor would be required to submit a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to identify all Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would be incorporated into the project prior to the start of grading and maintained to completion of all construction activities to reduce and minimize soil erosion. The City has standard soil erosion protection measures that the contractor would be required to install and maintain throughout grading and construction to minimize off-site soil erosion. The requirement by the City for the contractor to incorporate all applicable mandated soil erosion control measures into project construction would minimize and reduce potential soil erosion impacts to less than significant. c)Be located on a geologic unit or soil that is unstable, or that would become unstable as a result of the project, and potentially result in on- or off-site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction or collapse? Less Than Significant Impact. Based on the geotechnical report the proposed development of the project would not be significantly impacted by unstable soil due to an off- site landslide, lateral spreading, subsidence, liquefaction of soil collapse. All grading and construction would have to comply with all applicable requirements of the 2016 California Building Codes (CBC) and 17 recommendation of the geotechnical report. d)Be located on expansive soil, as defined in Table 18-1-B of the Uniform Building Code (1994), creating substantial direct or indirect risks to life or property? Less Than Significant Impact. 18 Based on the geotechnical report the on-site soils have a very low expansion potential. The project would not be significantly impacted by expansive soil. e)Have soils incapable of adequately supporting the use of septic tanks or alternative wastewater disposal systems where sewers are not available for the disposal of waste water? No Impact. The project would be required by the City to connect to and be served by the existing public wastewater collection system that serves the existing uses on the site. The project developer proposes to connect to the existing public sewer system in Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to the site. The project would not have any septic tank or alternative wastewater disposal impacts. f)Directly or indirectly destroy a unique paleontological resource or site or unique geologic feature? No Impact. The Rosemead General Plan does not identify the presence of any paleontological resources in the City. The site was disturbed previously to construct the existing commercial building and other improvements on the project site. Because the site is disturbed and paleontological resources are not known to exist in Rosemead, it is unlikely that paleontological resources would be uncovered during project construction. The geotechnical report did not identify any unique geologic features on the site that would potentially contain paleontological resource and impacted by the project. The project would not have any paleontological resource or geologic feature impacts. 17 Report of Geotechnical Engineering Investigation, Proposed 4-Story Mixed Use Development with 1-Level Subterranean Garage, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue and nearby lots, APN 5288-001-040, 042, 043, Rosemead, California, Cal Land Engineering, November 8, 2019. 18 Ibid, page 14, Section 7.4.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: Would the project: a)Generate greenhouse gas emissions, either directly or indirectly, that may have a significant 19 impact on the environment? Less Than Significant Impact. A greenhouse gas report was prepared for the project and a copy is included in Appendix A of this MND. face of the earth) emitted by human activity are implicated in global climate change, commonly referred to by transparency to short wavelength visible sunlight, but near opacity to outgoing terrestrial long wavelength heat radiation in some parts of the infrared spectrum. The principal greenhouse gases (GHGs) are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, and water vapor. For purposes of planning and regulation, Section 15364.5 of the California Code of Regulations defines GHGs to include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride. Fossil fuel consumption in the transportation sector (on-road motor vehicles, off-highway mobile sources, and aircraft) is the single largest source of GHG emissions, accounting for approximately half of GHG emissions globally. Industrial and commercial sources are the second largest contributors of GHG emissions with about one-fourth of total emissions. California has passed several bills and the Governor has signed at least three executive orders regarding greenhouse gases. AB 32 is one of the most significant pieces of environmental legislation that California has adopted. The major components of AB 32 include: Require the monitoring and reporting of GHG emissions beginning with sources or categories of sources that contribute the most to statewide emissions. ograms on the most readily controlled GHG sources. GHG emissions be reduced to 1990 levels. Forces an overall reduction of GHG gases in California by 25-40%, from business as usual, to be achieved by 2020. Must complement efforts to achieve and maintain federal and state ambient air quality standards and to reduce toxic air contaminants. Maximum GHG reductions are expected to derive from increased vehicle fuel efficiency, greater use of renewable energy, and increased structural energy efficiency. Additionally, through the California Climate Action Registry (CCAR or the Climate Action Reserve), general and industry-specific protocols for assessing and reporting GHG emissions have been developed. GHG sources are categorized into direct sources (i.e. company owned) and indirect sources (i.e. not company owned). Direct sources include combustion emissions from on-and off-road mobile sources, and fugitive emissions. Indirect sources include off-site electricity generation and non-company owned mobile sources. Thresholds of Significance Under CEQA, a project would have a potentially significant greenhouse gas impact if it: Generates GHG emissions, directly or indirectly, that may have a significant impact on the environment, or, Conflicts with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted to reduce GHG emissions. 19 Air Quality and GHG Impact Analysis, Garvey Walnut Mixed-Use Project, City of Rosemead, California, Giroux & Associates, November 23, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 51 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Emissions identification may be quantitative, qualitative or based on performance standards. CEQA The most common practice for transportation/combustion GHG emissions quantification is to use a computer model such as CalEEMod, which was used for the GHG analysis for the proposed project. In September 2010, the SCAQMD Governing Board Working Group recommended a threshold of 3,000 MT COe for all land use types. The 3,000 MT/year COe threshold is used for the greenhouse gas 22 emission analysis for the proposed project. In the absence of an adopted numerical threshold of significance, project related GHG emissions in excess of the guideline level are presumed to trigger a requirement for enhanced GHG reduction at the project level. Methodology The CalEEMod Version 2016.3.2 software model was used to calculate the GHG emissions from all phases of the project for the year 2022, which is the scheduled date of project completion. The project's emissions were compared to the tier 3 SCAQMD draft screening threshold of 3,000 metric tons CO2e per year for all land uses. Project Greenhouse Gas Emissions Construction Activity GHG Emissions The build-out timetable for the project will be two years. During project construction, the CalEEMod2016.3.2 computer model calculates that project construction activities would generate the annual COe emissions shown in Table 9. 2 Table 9 Construction GHG Emissions (Metric Tons COe) 2 COe 2 Year 2021 450.5 Amortized 15.0 The SCAQMD GHG emission policy for construction activities amortizes emissions over a 30-year lifetime. As shown, the amortized GHG emissions from the project construction activities are less than the 3,000 MT/year CO2e threshold and less than significant. Operational GHG Emissions The total operational emissions of the project are shown in Table 10. As shown, the total GHG operational emissions are below the guideline threshold of 3,000 MTY COe suggested by the 2 SCAQMD. b)Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases? No Impact. The City of Rosemead has not adopted a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan. Therefore, the applicable GHG planning document that is applicable to the project is AB-32. cant increase in either construction or operational GHG emissions. As a result, the project generated GHG emissions would be below the SCAQMD 3,000 MT CO2(e) tons/year threshold. Therefore, the project would not conflict with any applicable plan, policy, or regulation to reduce GHG emissions.

HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: Would the project: a)Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through the routine transport, use, 20 or disposal of hazardous materials? Less Than Significant Impact. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) was prepared for the site. The Phase I ESA in included in Appendix C of this MND. The mixed-use project does not propose to transport, use, or dispose of any hazardous materials. The only hazardous materials that would be transported and stored on the site includes the temporary storage of hazardous materials for use by the contractor to operate and maintain the various types of motor-powered construction equipment that would be operated during project demolition, grading and construction. The types of hazardous materials that would be anticipated to be used on-site during construction includes diesel fuel, gasoline, lubricants, paints, solvents, etc. It would be the responsibility of the contractor to use and store all hazardous materials in compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations during project construction. The project residents and commercial uses would use standard cleaning materials to clean and maintain their residences and commercial space during the operational life of the project. Herbicides and pesticides may be used by the homeowners association to maintain project landscaping. The transportation, use, and storage of all cleaning and maintenance hazardous materials in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, and local regulations would reduce the potential for significant impacts to less than significant. The project would not have any significant impacts associated with the transportation, use or storage of hazardous materials. b)Create a significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the environment? Less Than Significant Impact. Based on historical data, eaunits and an Arco gas station occupied the site. From 1977 to 1985, various offices/institutions and residences occupied the site. In the late 1980 Recreation Center was shown as the main occupant on the site. e Life-Spring Centre was the site main occupant and from 1999 to today the Taiwan Center of Greater Los Angeles 21 has been the main site occupant. There is no evidence or historical data that the site has been used in the past for any agricultural use. The government records search that was conducted for the preparation of the Phase I ESA identified that the that Circle K located at 8609 Garvey Avenue, east of Walnut Grove Avenue, is listed on the 20 Phase I Environmental Assessment Report, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead, CA, Robin Environmental Management, November 13, 2020. 21 Phase I Environmental Assessment Report, 3001 Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead, CA, Robin Environmental Management, November 13, 2020, page 7. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 53 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 State Water Board-compiled Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST)/Spills facilities database with K site was apparently satisfactorily treated under the supervision of the lead agency to the degree that no apparently significant environmental concerns for its neighboring areas are likely being induced from 22 the remaining untreated UST leakage/spills, if any, at the Circle K. As discussed utheastern portion (currently paved parking) of the project site was occupied by an Arco gas station. Since the presence of this former on- site gas station pre-dated any program that began implementation in 1986, no records were found in reference to the historical usage/handling of an UST, or the removal of an UST at the former Arco gas station. Therefore, a geophysical survey was conducted in the southeastern portion of the project site to assess whether or not an UST or UST fill area is present on the site. 23 On November 5, 2020, SubSurface Surveys conducted a geophysical survey in the southeastern area of the project site. Based on the geophysical survey, no UST was found. However, excavation backfill associated with the removal of an UST and former dispenser islands were identified. Based on these findings, any the former Arco gas station were apparently removed during 24 demolition of the Arco gas station in the middl Currently, the most significant environmental concern for any leaking UST site is the identified subsurface contamination by methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), a gasoline additive to replace lead in that egraded. The MTBE concern is certainly not an issue for old gas station sites as MTBE was not There are no locations within close proximity to the project site that are considered to have any environmental threat to the project site based upon the government records database and the 25 conducted government records search. There are no uses or activities associated with the long-term use of the site for residential development that would create or release hazardous materials into the environment. The project would not have any significant hazardous material impacts. c)Emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school? No Impact. The closest schools to the project site include Willard Elementary School that is located at 3152 Willard Avenue and approximately 400 feet to the north and Roger Temple Intermediate that is located at 8510 E. Fern Avenue and approximately one-quarter mile south of the project. In addition, the Rosemead Education Center preschool, located at 2662 Walnut Grove Avenue, is approximately 450 feet south of the project. The project does not propose any use that would emit, generate or handle any hazardous or acutely hazardous materials or substances and impact any schools within one-quarter mile of the project. d)Be located on a site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and, as a result, would it create a significant hazard to the public or environment? No Impact. Based on the Phase I ESA the project site is not listed as a 2.5. The project would not have a hazardous impact to the public or environment per Government Code Section 65962.5. 22 Ibid, page 19-20. 23 Ibid, Appendix D. 24 Ibid, page 28-29. 25 Ibid, page 28. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 54 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 e)For a project located within an airport land use plan, or where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport, would the project result in a safety hazard or excessive noise for people working or residing in the project area? No Impact. The closest airport to the project is El Monte Airport, which is approximately 3 miles northeast of the project. The project would not impact airport operations at El Monte Airport or result in any safety hazards for project guests and employees. The operations at the El Monte Airport would not have any safety or noise impacts to the project guests and employees. f)Impair implementation of or physically interfere with an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? Less Than Significant Impact. All of the proposed project improvements are located on private property. The project would not interfere with or impact any designated evacuation routes in Rosemead, including Garvey Avenue adjacent to the site. The project driveway is at Walnut Grove Avenue and would not impact the use of Garvey Avenue as an emergency evacuation route. The project would not significantly impact any emergency evacuation routes in the City. g)Expose people or structures, either directly or indirectly, to a significant risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires? No Impact. There are no State of California designated wildland fire areas in Rosemead. See section XX Wildfire for further wildland fire analysis. The project would not be exposed to or be impacted by a wildland fire. X. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY: Would the project: a)Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? Less Than Significant 2627 Impact. A hydrology report and Low Impact Development Plan were prepared for the project and a copy of each report is included in Appendix D of this MND. During project grading and construction, silt could be generated from the site, especially if construction occurs during the winter months from October to April when rainfall typically occurs. The City would require the project contractor to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) in accordance with California State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), Order No. 99- 08-DWQ, Los Angeles County MS4 Permit Order No. R4-2012-0175 and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit No. CAS004001 (Permit). The SWPPP would require the contractor to implement Best Available Technology Economically Achievable measures to reduce and eliminate storm water pollution from all construction activity through the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs). The purpose of the SWPPP is to identify pollutant sources that may affect the quality of the storm water that would be discharged from the site during all construction activity. The SWPPP would require the contractor to identify, construct, and implement the storm water pollution prevention measures and BMPs necessary to reduce pollutants that are present in the storm water that is discharged from the site during construction. The SWPPP would include specific BMPs that must be installed and implemented prior to the start of site clearance, grading, and construction. The installation and maintenance of all required BMPs by the contractor during construction would reduce potential water quality impacts to less than significant. The project developer must comply with the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Los Angeles Water Board) requirements of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) Plan (MS4 Permit Order No. R4-2101-0175). A MS4 plan would identify, at a minimum, the details to implement the Best Management Practices (BMPs) that would reduce 26 Hydrology Report, 8589 Garvey Ave. and 3001 Walnut Grove Ave., Rosemead, CA 91770, Cal Land Engineering, Inc. May 8, 2020. 27 Low Impact Development Plan, 8589 Garvey Ave. and 3001 Walnut Grove Ave., Rosemead, CA 91770, Cal Land Engineering, Inc. May 8, 2020, Updated August 2, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 55 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 (SWQDV) defined as the runoff from the 85th percentile, 24-hour rain event, as determined from the th Los Angeles County 85 Percentile Precipitation Isohyetal Map (http://dpw.lacounty.gov/wrd/hydrologygis/). The Los Angeles County MS4 Permit requires the implementation of low impact development (LID) BMPs in addition to site design and source control measures. LID BMPs are engineered facilities that are designed to retain or biotreat runoff on the project site. All designated projects must detain the water quality volume on-site through infiltration, evapotranspiration, storm water runoff harvest and use, or a combination thereof unless it is 28 demonstrated that it is technically infeasible to do so. The project proposes to install a dry well with a capacity of 3,013.5 cubic feet of stormwater in the southeast corner of the subterranean parking structure to capture the stormwater that would be generated on the site. The stormwater would percolate into the local soil and any excess would be discharged into the existing storm drain in Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to and east of the project site. The trench would be filled with aggregate and geotextile to remove debris and silt from surface runoff prior to its percolation into the soil. The capacity of the proposed stormwater collection and th infiltration system is based on the Los Angeles County 85 percentile, 24-hour storm event conditions. The installation of and the regular maintenance of the required SWPPP and the proposed on-site dry well infiltration system would reduce storm water runoff pollutants generated from the project site during both project construction and the life of the project to less than significant. The project developer would also be required to have a SUSMP approved by City staff prior to the issuance of a grading permit. The purpose of the SUSMP is to identify the BMPs that would be used on-site to control project generated pollutants from entering the storm water runoff generated from the site. The SUSMP includes measures that would be included in the project to maximize the use of pervious materials throughout the site to allow storm water percolation and pollutant filtration with the use of a retention/detention basin, storm water clarifier, and catch basins with BMPs. The installation and regular maintenance of the State required SWPPP and SUSMP would reduce the potential impacts from storm water runoff pollutants generated from the site during both project construction and the ongoing operation of the project to less than significant. b)Substantially decrease groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge such that the project may impede sustainable groundwater management of the basin. Less Than Significant Impact. The project would be required by SCAQMD Rule 403 to reduce particulate dust during any man-made condition. In this case, Rule 403 would require the project developer to control fugitive dust during active operations, including grading and construction. Water is primarily used for dust suppression during project grading and construction. The amount of water that would be required to control dust during grading and construction would be minimal and would not significantly impact existing groundwater supplies due to the relatively small size of the project, which is approximately 1.06 acres. The project site is currently development with a commercial building and two one-story residential dwelling units and a three-car garage and generates approximately 3.4 cubic feet per second (cfs) of surface water runoff during a 50-year frequency storm event. Because the project site is largely impermeable (93.6%), most of the surface water does not percolate and discharged to Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to and east of the site. The project is estimated to generate approximately 3.48 cfs of 29 runoff during a 50-year frequency storm event, which is an increase of 0.0578 cfs. Therefore, the project would not generate a significant increase in surface water from the site compared to the existing condition. Because the existing development discharges all of its surface water runoff to Walnut Grove 28 https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/losangeles/water_issues/programs/stormwater/municipal/la_ms4/2015/SWRCB_wqo2015_0075.pdf 29 Hydrology Report, 8589 Garvey Ave. and 3001 Walnut Grove Ave., Rosemead, CA 91770, Cal Land Engineering, Inc. May 8, 2020. , page 2. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 56 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Avenue, none of the stormwater currently percolates into the on-site soil and recharges the local groundwater. The proposed project would capture and retain most of the on-site runoff from a 50-year storm and allow the stormwater to percolate on-site into the local groundwater by a proposed dry well. The project site receives its water supply from the San Gabriel Valley Water Company and has two sources for its water supply, including groundwater from the Main Basin and the Central Basin and imported water from the Metropolitan Water District (MWD). Based on Table 7-2 of the San Gabriel Valley Water Company 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, the Company has an adequate water supply to meet the water supply needs of the project for potable water for drinking, landscape irrigation 30 and fire flow for normal, single, and multiple dry years over the next 20 years. As discussed above, the project would increase the amount of stormwater that currently percolates into the soil to recharge the locale groundwater compared to the existing condition. Therefore, the project would not deplete groundwater supplies or cause a drop in production rates of wells, but rather increase the amount of water that would percolate and recharge the local groundwater. The project would have a less than significant impact on groundwater supplies. c)Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including through the alteration of the course of a stream or river or through the addition of impervious surfaces, in a manner, which would: i. Result in substantial erosion or siltation on or off site? Less Than Significant Impact. During project construction the exposed soil on the site would be subject to erosion both on and off the site during periods of rainfall. As discussed in section X.a above, the project developer would be required to prepare a SWPPP and SUSMP and implement the BMPs of both plans to reduce and minimize soil erosion both on and off the site. The implementation of the applicable BMPs would reduce and minimize the amount of siltation generated from the site. Once the project is completed and operational all surface water runoff would be collected and discharged to an on-site dry well located in the southeast corner of the subterranean parking structure to capture surface water runoff for on-site percolation. The dry well would collect surface water runoff and allow most of any runoff siltation to be retained on the project site. Therefore, the project would generate minimal off- site siltation once the project is completed. The installation of and the regular maintenance of all construction BMPs and the proposed on-site dry well would reduce and minimize both on and off-site siltation from the project site during both project construction and the life of the project to less than significant. The project would not have significant erosion or siltation impacts either on or off the site. ii. Substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off site? Less Than Significant Impact. project would increase the amount of runoff that is currently generated from the site by approximately 0.0578 cfs. This increase would be minimal compared to the amount of stormwater that is currently generated from the site and would not significantly impact the existing storm drain collection system. The project would not have any significant on- or off-site flooding impacts. iii. Create or contribute runoff water, which would exceed the capacity of existing or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? Less Than Significant Impact. Based on hydrology report, the storm water runoff by the project for a 50-year storm event would increase by 0.0578 cfs compared to the existing condition. The existing storm drain system in Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue that serve the site and the 30 San Gabriel Valley Water Company Los Angeles County Division, 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, July 2016, Amended December 2017, page 7-6. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 57 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 downstream storm water collection system have adequate capacity to serve the incremental increase in stormwater from the project without significantly impacting the capacity of the existing storm water drainage system. The project would not have any significant impact to the existing storm drain system that serves the site. The project would be required to treat surface water runoff prior to its discharge to meet Regional Water Quality Control Board water quality requirements and provide safeguards that surface water runoff would not provide sources of polluted runoff. As discussed in sthe project would have to meet and comply with the MS4 permit requirements of the Los Angeles Water Board to remove and prevent most project generated pollutants from being discharge from the site. The installation and required routine maintenance of the proposed underground stormdrain collection and infiltration system in compliance with the MS4 permit would reduce and filter most project runoff pollutants. As a result, the project would not significantly impact surface water quality. iv. Impede or redirect flood flows? Less Than Significant Impact. above. d)In flood hazard, tsunami, or seiche zones, risk release of pollutants due to project inundation. No Impact. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the project site is 31 located in Zone X, which are areas of moderate or minimal hazard from flooding. In addition, Figure 5-6 of the Public Safety Element of the General Plan shows that the project is located in FEMA flood Xis designated as areas of moderate or minimal hazard from flooding. The elevation of Rio Hondo Channel, which is approximately 0.66 miles (3,500 feet) east of the project and in a 100-year flood zone is the closest potential source of floodwaters to the project. The elevation of the Rio Hondo channel is approximately 200 feet above mean sea level and the elevation of the project site is 262 feet above mean sea level and approximately 60 feet higher than the Rio Hondo channel. Therefore, the potential for flooding at the site from the Rio Hondo channel is minimal. The project is more than twenty-two miles northeast from the Pacific Ocean and approximately 262 feet above mean sea level. Due to the distance and the elevation of the project from the Pacific Ocean the project would not be exposed to or impacted by a tsunami. The project site and the area immediately surrounding the site are generally flat and there are no water bodies or water tanks adjacent to or in close proximity to the site that would impact the project due to a seiche. Because the project would not be impacted by a flood, tsunami or seiche, the project would not be impacted by a release of pollutants associated with a flood, tsunami or seiche. e)Conflict with or obstruct implementation of a water quality control plan or sustainable groundwater management plan. Less Than Significant Impact. The project developer prepared a Hydrology report and a Low Impact Development report for the project and a copy of each report is included in Appendix D of this MND. The City would require the project developer to install and implement all proposed water quality collection and surface water runoff treatment measures listed in the report, including a dry well in the southeast corner of the subterranean parking structure. As a result, the project would not conflict with or obstruct water quality control measures mandated by the state. The San Gabriel Valley Water Company provides potable water to the project site presently and would serve the proposed project. The San Gabriel Valley Water Company prepared an Urban Water 32 Management Plan (UWMP). The primary objective of the UWMP is to describe and evaluate sources of supply, reasonable and practical efficient uses, reclamation and demand management activities. In this case, the UWMP provides water supply planning over the next 25 years to the year 2040 in five- 31 https://msc.fema.gov/portal/search?AddressQuery=rosemead%2C%20california#searchresultsanchor 32 2015 Urban Water Management Plan, July 2016, Amended December 2017. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 58 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 year increments and identifies water supplies needs to meet existing and future demands. San Gabriel Water Company relies on three sources for its water supply, including groundwater from Main Basin and Central Basin, recycled water, and a connection with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern 33 California. The future water demand for the city based on land use type, including single-family, commercial, institutional, industrial, etc. The UWMP also analyzed its future water supply based on the reliability of its existing sources of water including groundwater, water districts, recycling, etc. The UWMP states that based on projected water supply and demands over the next 25 years, San Gabriel Valley Water Company has supply capabilities that would be sufficient to meet expected demands 34 through 2040 under single-dry-year and multiple-dry year conditions. Therefore, the project would not . XI. LAND USE AND PLANNING: Would the project: a)Physically divide an established community? No Impact. The project proposes to develop an infill site that is surrounded by established commercial use to the east, west and south and single-family detached residences to the north and east. The project is proposed for a 1.06 gross acre site that is developed and would not physically divide the existing land uses that are adjacent to and surrounding the site. b)Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? Less Than Significant Impact. The land use designation for the project site is Commercial and the zoning is C-3 (Medium Commercial). The project is requesting a general plan amendment to Mixed-Use, Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac.) and a zone change to C-3/RC-MUDO/D-O (30 DU/AC, 3 stories) (Medium Commercial with a Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlay). The requested Mixed-Use, Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac.) land use allows a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.6:1. Therefore, the 1.06 gross acre site could be developed up to a maximum of 73,720 square feet of commercial and residential use. The project proposes a total of 65,598 square feet for both the residential and commercial use, which is a FAR of 1.42:1 and less than the maximum allowed on the site of 1.6:1. Thus, the project is consistent with the Rosemead General Plan in terms of allowable floor area ratio. General Plan The project is not a permitted use in the existing Commercial land use designation for the site. Therefore, the project applicant is requesting a general plan amendment to Mixed-Use, Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac.)The Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial category allows vertically or horizontally mixed commercial, office, and residential uses, with an emphasis on retail uses along the ground floor. Pedestrian connections among the uses, and as appropriate to surrounding neighborhoods, should be provided. The Mixed- Use designation will allow for mixed use and commercial infill development. Further, parcels may be assembled and consolidated to create larger, integrated development sites. All mixed-use projects are 35 also subject to review and complianc-use design guidelines. The Mixed-use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac; 3 stories) land use designation allows a maximum 36 development of 32 units and a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 1.6:1, which allows up to 73,720 square feet of development on the site. The project proposes 42 residential units, including seven low-income 33 Ibid, page 3-1. 34 Ibid, page 7-7. 35 City of Rosemead General Plan Update, April 13, 2010, page 2-15. 36 Based on a 1.06-acre site and 30-du/acre.

The project proposes a FAR of 1.42:1 and less than the maximum allowed 1.6:1 FAR. The project is consistent with the requested Mixed-use: Residential/Commercial (30 du/ac; 3 stories) land use designation. Zoning The height of the proposed four-story building is 5-- parapet around the top of the roof. The overall height of the building, which includes the elevator shaft, -. Therefore, the project is not consistent with and does not meet the building height standard for 37 development in the RC-MUDO zone. The project applicant is requesting a concession to allow the development of the proposed 75-building in the RC-MUDO zone, which allows a maximum allowed building height of 45 feet for mixed-use development of three stories. Other than the requested building height concession, the project meets and complies with all other applicable development standards, including minimum lot area, minimum lot width/depth, setbacks and floor area ratio (FAR). Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development Overlay (RC-MUDO) The purpose of the RC-MUDO is to provide opportunities for well-designed development projects that combine residential with nonresidential uses, including, retail, business services, personal services, public spaces and uses, and other community amenities designated with the mixed-use land use designations in the City of Rosemead General Plan, and consistent with the policy direction in the 38 General Plan. The intent of the RC-MUDO is to accomplish the following objectives: 1. Create a viable, walkable urban environment that encourages pedestrian activity and reduces dependence on the automobile, through a streetscape that is connected, attractive, safe and engaging. 2. Provide complementary residential and commercial uses within walking distance of each other. 3. Develop an overall urban design framework to ensure that the quality, appearance and effects of buildings, improvements and uses are compatible with the City design criteria and goals. 4. Create quality residential/commercial mixed-use development that maintains value through buildings with architectural qualities that create attractive street scenes and enhance the public realm. 5. Provide a variety of open space, including private, recreation areas and public open space and parks. 6. Revitalize commercial corridors with residential/commercial mixed-use developments that attract and encourage market-driven private investment. 7. Encourage parking solutions that are incentives for creative planning and sustainable neighborhood design. 37 RMC 17.28.030D.13a. 38 RMC 17.28.010 C Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 60 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 The RC-MUDO is an overlay zone, which may be applied to existing zoning districts as designated in the General Plan. The RC-MUDO Zone district provides the option of developing a property under the base zone district, or developing a residential/commercial mixed-use development under the overlay zone. In this case, the RC-MUDO zone is applied to the C-3 zone and the project as proposed is consistent with the C-3/RC-MUDO (Medium Commercial with a Residential/Commercial Mixed-use Development Overlay) Zone. Residential/commercial mixed-use development shall combine and integrate residential uses with commercial, institutional, and office uses utilizing a strong pedestrian orientation. The mix of uses may be combined in a vertical residential/commercial mixed-use building or combined in separate buildings located on one property and/or under unified control. The mix of uses percentage shall be as 39 designated in the General Plan. The types of uses allowed with the RC-MUDO zone include a variety of commercial uses, including retail stores and businesses as allowed by RMC 17.28.030. The retail and business uses that are proposed for the project have not specifically been identified at this time. However, all future approved business for the site would have to comply with the businesses permitted by RMC 17.28.030. Consistent with RMC 17.28.030 (C)(6), the proposed 42 residential units are located on three floors above the proposed first floor of commercial use. The project, as proposed, meets and complies with all of the applicable RC-MUDO development standards, with the exception of the types of commercial uses allowed for the site. As noted above, all allowed commercial uses must meet the permitted uses in RMC 17.28.030. Design Overlay The purpose of the design overlay zone is to assure orderly development and that buildings, structures, signs and landscaping will be harmonious within a specified area; to prevent the development of structures or uses which are not of acceptable exterior design or appearance or are of inferior quality or likely to have a depreciating or negative effect on the local environment or surrounding area by reasons 40 of use, design, appearance or other criteria affecting value. The Design Overlay requires the precise plan for the project be approved by the City prior to the issuance of a building permit. In order to incorporate the Design Overlay as part of the project, a zone change is required. Thus, the request by the project applicant for a zone change to C-3/RC-MUDO/D- O (30 DU/AC, 3 stories) (Medium Commercial with a Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Development and Design Overlay). The design review of the precise development plan includes architecture and design, number of stories, height, fences, landscape, color, signage, proposed uses, mechanical 41 equipment screening, etc.. The review and approval of the precise development plan in compliance with the design requirements of RMC Chapter 17.28 would ensure the project meets the design requirements for development in the Design Overlay Zone. Density Bonus The project proposes seven low-income units as part of the proposed 42 residential units that allows the applicant a 35% density bonus. The proposed seven low-income residential units represents 20% of the 32 base units permitted and 16.6% of the 42 proposed units. While the C-3/RC-MUDO zone allows a maximum of 32 units for the site, the 35% density bonus along with the proposed seven low- 39 RMC 17.28.030. 40 RMC 17.28.010. 41 RMC 17.28.010 Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 61 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 income units, the project is allowed to develop up to 42 residential units. Therefore, with the density bonus the project is consistent with the C-3/RC-MUDO zoning. Project Concessions The 35% density bonus allows the project applicant up to two development concessions, if necessary. Due to several site constraints, the project applicant is requesting two concessions from the RC-MUDO development standards. 1.The RC-MUDO zone allows three stories and a maximum building height of 45 feet. The project proposes four stories, including a ground floor of retail use, a second floor with a combination of office use and condominiums and a third and fourth floor consisting of condominiums for a total overall building height of 75 feet and 2 inches, which includes the elevator shaft, a 59 feet and 2 inches tall building, and a 4-foot parapet. The project applicant is requesting a building concession from three to four stories and an overall building height of 75 feet and 2 inches rather than 45 feet. 2.The RC-MUDO zone allows a land use mix of 67% of residential and 33% of commercial. The land use mix by the project totals 71.6% residential and 28.4% commercial use. Therefore, the project exceeds and does not meet the maximum ratio of residential and commercial use. The project meets the development standards for the RC-MUDO zone, with the exception of the two requested concessions. Although the project is requesting two concessions, the project as proposed, including the allowance of the two development concessions as allowed due to the 35% density bonus, would not result in any significant land use impacts. The compliance of the project with all other required development standards would ensure the project meets all requirements for development in the RC-MUDO zone. The project is not anticipated to have any significant land use impacts. XII. MINERAL RESOURCES: Would the project: a)Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral resource that would be of value to the region and the residents of the state? No Impact. The State Mining and Geology Board classify land in California on the availability of mineral resources. There are four Mineral Resources Zone (MRZ) designations for the classification of sand, gravel, and crushed rock resources. According to the 42 Rosemead General Plan Update the project site is within the MRZ-3. The MRZ-3 classification states the significance of mineral deposits cannot be determined from the available data. As Rosemead is completely urbanized and the State has not identified any significant recoverable mineral resources, no mineral extraction activities are permitted within the City limits. There are no mining activities on the site or the properties surrounding and adjacent to the site. The project would not have an impact to mineral resources of value to the region or residents of the state. b)Result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? No Impact. As discussed above in Section II above, the project site is not located within an area of known mineral deposits. Therefore, the project would not result in the loss of and not impact any locally important mineral resources. XIII. NOISE: Would the project result in: a)Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise 42 Rosemead General Plan, Figure 4-2 Mineral Resources Map. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 62 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 ordinance or applicable standards of other agencies. Less Than Significant Impact. A noise 43 report was prepared for the project and is included in Appendix E of this MND. The site is developed with the existing 15,585 square foot Taiwan Center building, 2,292 square foot office building, a duplex and a single-family detached residence that total 1,628 square feet and a three-car garage that total 19,505 square feet. The existing buildings on the site would be demolished to allow for the construction of the proposed project. The noise that is generated from the site currently includes daily activities associated with the operation of the Taiwan Center, including traffic into and off the site and typical noise associated with the residential units on the north end of the site. Noise sources in the immediate project area impacting the project site includes traffic on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the site, traffic on Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to and east of the site, the daily activities of the commercial uses in the immediate project vicinity and typical daily noise associated with the single-family detached residences north of the site. The residences adjacent to and north of the site and east of Walnut Grove Avenue do not generate noise levels that impact the site due to the low intensity of noise that is generated by residential development. Noise Compatibility Guidelines The City of Rosemead takes into account noise compatibility standards when evaluating land use development projects. A proposed land use must be compatible with the ambient noise environment, particularly with noise sources that the City does not have direct control such as motor vehicles on public streets and roads, aircraft, and trains. Since the City cannot regulate the noise levels from the sources, the City exercises its land use decision authority to ensure that noise/land use incompatibility is minimized. The decibel (dB) scale is used to quantify sound pressure levels. Although decibels are most commonly associated with sound, "dB" is a generic descriptor that is equal to ten times the logarithmic ratio of any physical parameter versus some reference quantity. For sound, the reference level is the faintest sound detectable by a young person with good auditory acuity. Since the human ear is not equally sensitive to all sound frequencies within the entire auditory spectrum, human response is factored into sound descriptions by weighting sounds within the range of maximum human sensitivity more heavi Any further reference to decibels written as "dB" should be understood to be A weighted. Time variations in noise exposure are typically expressed in terms of a steady-state energy level equal to the energy content of the time varying period (called LEQ), or alternately, as a statistical description of the sound pressure level that is exceeded over some fraction of a given observation period. Finally, because community receptors are more sensitive to unwanted noise intrusion during the evening and at night, state law requires that, for planning purposes, an artificial dB increment be added to quiet time noise levels in a 24 hour noise descriptor called the Ldn (day-night) or the Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL). The City of Rosemead considers n r residential noise levels of up to 70 dBA CNEL are allowed if a noise analysis is conducted to identify possible noise reduction measures. Noise levels above 70 dBA CNEL are considered normally unacceptable, except 43 Noise Impact Analysis, Garvey Walnut Mixed Use Project, Giroux & Associates, November 30, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 63 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 in unusual circumstances for residential use. These standards apply to outdoor recreational uses such asbackyards, patios and balconies. An interior CNEL of 45dB is mandated by the State of California Noise Insulation Standards (CCR, Title24, Part6, SectionT25-28) for multiple family dwellings,hotel and motel rooms. In 1988, the State Building Standards Commission expanded that standard to include all habitable rooms in residential use, included single-family dwelling units. Since normal noise attenuation within residential structures with closed windows is 25-30AdB, an exterior noise exposure of 70-75dBA CNEL allows the interior standardto be met without any specialized structural attenuation (dual paned windows, etc.), but with closed windows and fresh air supply systems or air conditioning in order to maintain a comfortable living environment. Noise Standards For noise generated on one property affecting an adjacent use, the City of Rosemead limits the amount of noise that can cross the boundary between the two uses. There are residential uses adjacent to the project site to the north and also east of Walnut Grove Avenue. The noise standards described below must be met at theresidential units north and east of the site. For regulated on-site sources of noise generation, the Rosemead noise ordinance prescribeslimits that areconsidered an acceptable noise exposure for residentialuses in proximity to regulated noise sources. The L50 metric used in the Rosemead noise ordinance is the level exceeded for 50% of the measurement period of thirty minutes in an hour. One-half of all readings may exceed this average standard with largerexcursions from the average allowed for progressively shorter periods. The larger the deviation, the shorter the allowed duration up to a never-to-exceed 20 dB increase above the 50th percentile standard. Nighttime noise levels limits are reduced by 5 dB to reflect the increased sensitivity to noise occurring during that time period. ng the day (7 a.m. 10 p.m.), and 45 dB at night (10 p.m. 7 a.m.). For commercial use the L50 standard is 65 dB during the day (7 a.m. 10 p.m.), and 60 dB at night (10 p.m. 7 a.m.). These noise standards for residential and commercial uses are shown in Table 11. Shouldthe ambientnoise level exceed any of the noise standards, the standards shall be increased to reflect the ambient noise level. Rosemead Municipal Code 8.36.030(A)(3)restricts hours of construction to hours of lesser noise sensitivity with heavy equipment to not operate from 8 p.m.to 7 a.m. during the week and on Saturdays, and not exceed 65 dBA at any residential property line. Construction is not permitted on Sundays or Federal Holidays.

The existing noise levels are shown in Table 12. The measured noise levels provide a basis to calculate the noise levels that project residents would be exposed to with the existing noise generating activities in the area. The location of the noise measurements are shown in Figure 14. Table 12 Short -Term Measured Noise Levels (BBA) Site No. Location Leq Lmax Lmin L50 1 On -Site 30 ft. from the home north of the site 67 77 53 67 2 On -Site 50 ft. north of Garvey Avenue 69 88 59 66 Figure 14 Noise Measurement Locations Sr Meter 1 a { tin, It Meter2 1�e ' m�(�'� r -f rn (bmkL�— ICS Based on previous noise monitoring experience, 24-hour weighted CNELs can be reasonably estimated from mid-day noise measurements. Thus, CNELs are approximately equal to Leq plus 2 dBA (Caltrans Technical Noise Supplement, 2009). The on-site noise levels that were measured at Site 1 are representative of the noise levels on the site and the noise levels at the residential units north of the project along Walnut Grove Avenue. Based on the on-site noise levels, the existing noise levels are estimated to be approximately 69 dBA CNEL at 45 feet from the centerline of Walnut Grove Avenue. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed -Use Project Page 65 Mitigated Negative Declaration — May 4, 2021 The on-site noise levels that were measured at Site 2 represents the existing noise levels at approximately 50 feet north of the centerline of Garvey Avenue. At this location the noise levels of 69 dBA Leq would translate to a CNEL of 71 dBA. The City of Rosemead considers CNELS of up to 70 dBA to be conditionally acceptable for residential use with the requirement of a noise analysis. Noise levels of up to 75 dB CNEL are considered to be conditionally acceptable for commercial use. However, unless commercial projects include noise- sensitive uses such as outdoor dining, exterior noise exposure is generally not considered a facility siting constraint. Noise impacts are considered significant if they result in: a. Generation of a substantial temporary or permanent increase in ambient noise levels in the vicinity of the project in excess of standards established in the local general plan or noise ordinance, or applicable standards of other agencies. b. Generation of excessive groundborne vibration or groundborne noise levels. c. For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not been adopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the project expose people living or working in the project area to excessive noise levels. S TANDARDS OF S IGNIFICANCE Impacts may be significant if they create either a substantial permanent noise level increase or a temporary noise level increase. The term "substantial" is not quantified in CEQA guidelines. In most environmental analyses, "substantial" means a level that is clearly perceptible to humans. In practice, this is at least a +3 dB increase. Some agencies, such as Caltrans, require substantial increases to be +10 dB or more if noise standards are not exceeded by the increase. For purposes of this analysis, a +3 dB increase is considered a substantial increase. The following noise impacts due to project-related traffic would be considered significant: 1. If construction activities were to audibly intrude into adjacent sensitive uses. 2. If project traffic noise were to cause an increase by a perceptible amount (+3 dB CNEL) or expose receivers to levels exceeding city compatibility noise standards. 3. If future build-out noise levels were to expose sensitive receivers to levels exceeding compatibility standards of 65 dB CNEL exterior at any outdoor uses or 45 dB CNEL interior noise levels in any habitable space. Sensitive Receptors The closest noise sensitive land uses to the project site are the single-family residential units adjacent to and north of the site. There are also residences east of the site, east of Walnut Grove Avenue, from a point opposite the existing site driveway and north. There are also residences approximately 70 feet northwest of the site that access their properties from Willard Avenue. Temporary Noise Impacts The existing noise levels on the site and the noise levels in the immediate vicinity of the site would increase temporarily during project construction. Short-term construction noise would be generated Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 66 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 during demolition of the existing buildings and site improvements, grading and the construction of the proposed site improvements. Noise would also be generated by construction workers commuting to the site, the delivery of materials and supplies to the site and the operation of on-site construction equipment, etc. Temporary construction noise impacts vary markedly due to the noise level range of the various types of construction equipment, its activity level and the distance from the equipment to the closest noise sensitive land use. Short-term construction noise impacts typically occur in discrete phases dominated by earth-moving equipment that would be used for site demolition and grading operations to construction and paving equipment that generates less noise than the heavier demolition and earth- moving equipment. In 2006, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published the Roadway Construction Noise Model that includes a national database of construction equipment reference noise emissions levels. In addition, the database provides an acoustical usage factor to estimate the fraction of time each piece of construction equipment is operating at full power during a construction phase. The usage factor is a key input variable that is used to calculate the average Leq (Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure Level) noise levels. Table 13 shows the anticipated construction fleet required to construct the project. The table is organized by construction activity and lists the equipment that is associated with each activity. Table 13 also shows the noise level for each individual piece of equipment at a reference 50-foot distance. Table 13 Construction Equipment Noise Levels Measured Cumulative Usage Noise Noise Phase Name Equipment 1 Factor @ 50 feet @ 50 feet (dBA) (dBA) Dozer 40% 82 78 Demolition Grader 40% 85 81 Loader/Backhoe 37% 78 74 Dozer 40% 82 78 Scraper 40% 84 80 Grading Concrete Saw 20% 90 84 Excavator 40% 81 78 Loader/Backhoe 37% 78 74 Forklift 20% 75 68 Loader/Backhoe 37% 78 74 Building Construction Crane 16% 81 73 Welder 46% 74 71 Paver 50% 77 74 Paving Paving Equip 40% 76 72 Roller 38% 80 76 SourceConstruction Noise Model, 2006 1. Estimates the fraction of time each piece of equipment is operating at full power during a construction operation As shown in Table 13, typical hourly average construction generated noise levels would average approximately 68 dBA to 84 dBA Leq at a distance of 50 feet from the project site. The construction noise levels would be reduced at a rate of approximately 6 dBA per the doubling of the distance between the noise source and a receptor. Shielding by existing buildings and/or terrain often results in Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 67 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 lower construction noise levels at distant receptors. The potential for project construction-related noise levels to impact adjacent and nearby residential receptors would depend on the location and proximity of the on-site construction activities to these off-site receptors. Table 14 shows the adjusted maximal noise levels from the operation of on-site construction equipment at 50 feet to the closest noise sensitive receptors to the project site. Table 14 Construction Noise Exposure at Adjoining Sensitive Uses (dBA Leq) Noise Levels Noise Levels at Noise Levels at Phase Equipment at Residence Residence off Residences East to the North Willard Ave of Walnut Grove Dozer 78 75 73 Demolition Grader 81 78 76 Loader/Backhoe 74 71 69 Dozer 78 75 73 Scraper 80 77 75 Grading Concrete Saw 84 81 79 Excavator 78 75 73 Loader/Backhoe 74 71 69 Forklift 68 65 63 Loader/Backhoe 74 71 69 Building Construction Crane 73 70 68 Welder 71 68 66 Paver 74 71 69 Paving Paving Equip 72 69 67 Roller 76 73 71 As shown in Table 14, construction generated noise levels would not exceed 84 dBA at any sensitive noise receptor adjacent to and in close proximity to the project site. Construction noise could impact sensitive land uses adjacent to the project site and sensitive noise receptors could experience a noise nuisance during construction activity. The noise levels would be temporary and limited to the duration of the demolition and construction at any one location within the site. The temporary noise impacts would cease once each component of construction is completed. The project is proposed to be constructed in a single phase so once construction is completed the construction noise levels would cease. Construction would be restricted to the hours of construction as allowed by Rosemead Municipal Code 8.36.030(A)(3) that restricts hours of construction to hours of lesser noise sensitivity with heavy equipment to not operate from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the week and on Saturdays, and not exceed 65 dBA at any residential property line. Construction is not permitted on Sundays or Federal Holidays. However, as shown in Table 12 the ambient noise level on the site 67 and 69 dBA and greater than the city standard of 65 dBA. Rosemead Municipal Code 8.36.060(B)(1) restricts interior noise levels of residential receptor properties to 45 dBA. The noise levels shown in Table 14 do not take into account the 6-foot perimeter wall along the north project boundary that would attenuate and reduce the exterior noise levels to the residential units adjacent to and north of the site by approximately 1-2 d BA. Furthermore, typical residential construction materials and methods reduce exterior noise levels to interior noise levels by approximately 20-25 dBA. In this case, when taking the existing 6-foot wall along the north project Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 68 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 boundaryandtypicalresidentialconstructionmaterialsandmethodsintoaccount,theinteriornoise levelsoftheresidentialunitsadjacenttoandnorthoftheprojectsitewouldnotexceedinteriornoise levelsof 45dBAas restrictedbyRosemeadMunicipalCode8.36.060(B)(1).Therefore,althoughoff- site construction noise levels are calculated not to exceed 85 dBA, interior noise levels would not exceed 45 dBA in compliance with Rosemead Municipal Code 8.36.060(B)(1). In order to minimize construction noise levels to the residential units closest to the project site, including theresidentialunitsadjacenttoandnorthofthesiteandeastofWalnutGroveAvenue,thefollowing measures are recommended: Mitigation MeasureNo. 8All construction equipment shall be equipped withmufflersand other suitable noise attenuation devices (e.g.,engine shields). Mitigation Measure No. 9Grading and construction contractors shall use rubber-tired equipment rather than track equipment, to the maximum extent feasible. Mitigation Measure No. 10If feasible, electric hook-ups shall be provided to avoid the use of generators. If electric service is determined to be infeasible for the site, only whisper-quiet generators shall be used (i.e., inverter generators capable of providing variable load. Mitigation Measure No. 11Electric air compressors and similar power tools rather than diesel equipmentshall be used, where feasible. Mitigation Measure No. 12Generators and stationary construction equipment shall be staged and located as far from the adjacent residential structures as feasible. Mitigation Measure No. 13Construction-relatedequipment, including heavy-duty equipment, motor vehicles, and portableequipment, shall be turnedoff when not in use for more than 5 minutes. Mitigation Measure No. 14Asign shall be posted in a readily visible location at the project site that indicates the dates and duration of construction activities, as well as provide a telephone number where residents can enquire about the construction process and register complaints to an assigned construction noise disturbance coordinator. Motor VehicleNoiseImpacts Off-Site Project-Related Vehicular Noise Impacts Long-term noise impacts associated with the proposed residential and commercial uses can be derived from vehicular operations on area roadways. Off-site trafficnoise is addressed using the California specific vehicle noise curves (CALVENO) in the federal roadway noise model (the FHWA Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model, FHWA-RD-77-108). Table 15summarizes the 24-hour CNEL level at 50 feet from the roadway centerline along nine roadway segmentsin the project area.Four traffic scenarios were evaluated: existing conditions and 44 as included in the traffic report. 44 Garvey Walnut Mixed Use Project, Traffic Impact Analysis, Ganddini Group, Inc.,November 13,2020.

Because the area is built outthe addition of the project traffic to the area roadwaysystemdoes not significantly increase noise levels.As shown in Table 16, the largest noise level increase due to the project compared to the existing conditions is +0.2 dBA CNEL at 50 feet from the roadway centerline of Walnut Grove Avenue north of Garvey Avenue. Asshown, some roadway segments show no increase in traffic noise levels due to the project. These project noise level increases are less than the +3 dBA significance threshold.Therefore, project generated traffic noise level increases are lessthansignificant.

Existing off-site land uses adjacent to the project would be noise protected by the proposed building surrounding the interior parking areas. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 70 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 The project is estimated to generate 143 trips during the a.m. peak hour and 65 trips during the p.m. 45 peak hour. The noise level associated with the 143 trips is calculated to be 51.6 dBA Leq. A combination of distance attenuation to the closest sensitive uses and shielding provided by the proposed mixed-use building would provide a minimum of -10 dBA of attenuation. Thus, the daytime on-site attenuated traffic noise levels would be significantly less than the 60 dBA Leq noise standard. There would be fewer traffic trips at night than during the daytime, therefore the nighttime attenuated traffic noise level would be less than the daytime attenuated noise level. The mechanical equipment that is proposed for the project, which includes air conditioners, fans, etc. is proposed for the roof of the mixed-use building and shielded from adjacent land uses by a 4-foot parapet screen. The proposed mechanical equipment would generate noise levels that are typically generated by the type of equipment that would be used for a mixed-use project and would be required to comply with all applicable regulatory requirements in terms of noise. The mechanical equipment for the project would be screened by a proposed 4-foot high parapet screen and the noise levels from the operation of the rooftop mechanical equipment would not significantly impact on-site residents or existing residents adjacent to the project site. Therefore, the noise impacts by the operation of on-site mechanical equipment would be less than significant. On-Site Traffic Noise The ground level of the project frontage along Garvey Avenue is proposed for commercial use. The residential units are proposed for the second through the fourth floors. Based on the traffic report, the noise level from existing traffic and project traffic on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the project site is calculated to be less than 71 dBA CNEL at 50 feet from the centerline of Garvey Avenue. The noise levels at the balconies of the residential units closest to Garvey Avenue would not be more than 70 dBA CNEL. Much recreational space would be common space comprised of the interior courtyard, common decks at each floor and the rooftop garden. Based on the above analysis the project would not have any significant temporary (construction) or permanent (operational) noise level impacts. b)Generation of excessive ground borne vibration or ground borne noise levels? Less Than Significant Impact. There are residential homes adjacent to and north of the project and commercial uses to the east of Walnut Grove Avenue, south of Garvey Avenue, and the west. The site is subject to occasional ground borne vibration due to heavy trucks that travel on Garvey Avenue adjacent to and south of the site. Any vibration levels on the site from the occasional passing of heavy trucks on Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue are short-term in duration and do not significantly impact the existing on-site uses. Construction Activity Vibration Construction activities generate ground-borne vibration when heavy equipment travels over unpaved surfaces or when it is engaged in soil movement, such as grading. The effects of ground-borne vibration include discernable movement of building floors, rattling of windows, shaking of items on shelves or hanging on walls, and rumbling sounds. Vibration related problems generally occur due to resonances in the structural components of a building because structures amplify groundborne vibration. ces of much of Southern California, ground vibration is 46 quickly damped. Groundborne vibration is almost never annoying to people who are outdoors 45 Garvey Walnut Mixed Use Project, Traffic Impact Analysis, Ganddini Group, Inc., November 13, 2020. 46 Federal Transit Administration 2006. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 71 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Groundborne vibrations from construction activities rarely reach levelsthat can damage structures. Vibration thresholds have been adopted for major public works construction projects, but these relate mostly to structural protection (cracking foundations or stucco) rather than for human annoyance.A vibration descriptor commonly used to determine structuraldamage is thepeakparticlevelocity(ppv) anddefinedasthemaximuminstantaneous positive ornegative peak ofthe vibration signal,usually measured in in/sec.The range of vibration levels is shown in Table 17. Table 17 HumanResponsetoTransientVibration AverageHuman Responseppv(in/sec) Severe2.00 Stronglyperceptible0.90 Distinctlyperceptible0.24 Barelyperceptible0.03 Source:Caltrans Transportation and Construction Vibration Guidance Manual,2013. Over the years, numerous vibration criteria and standards have been suggested by researchers, organizations, and governmental agencies. As shown in Table 18,according to Caltrans and the FTA, the threshold for structuralvibration damage for modern structures is 0.5 in/sec for intermittent sources, which include impact pile drivers, pogo-stick compactors, crack-and-seat equipment, vibratory pile drivers, and vibratory compaction equipment. Older residential structures have a 0.3 in/sec threshold. To be conservative, the damage threshold of 0.3 in/sec for older residential structures was used in this vibration analysisto determine potential vibration impacts to adjacent buildings. Below this level there is virtually no risk of building damage. Table 18 FTA and Caltrans Guideline Vibration Damage Potential Threshold Criteria Building TypePPV (in/sec) FTA Criteria Reinforced concrete, steel or timber (no plaster)0.5 Engineered concrete and masonry (no plaster)0.3 Non-engineered timber and masonry buildings0.2 Buildings extremely susceptible to vibration damage0.12 Caltrans Criteria Modern industrial/commercial buildings0.5 New residential structures0.5 Older residential structures0.3 Historic old buildings0.25 Fragile Buildings0.1 Extremely fragile ruins, ancient monuments0.08 Thecalculated vibration levels that would be generated by the operation of the various types of construction equipment that are anticipated to operate on the site are shown below in Table 19. The calculation to determine PPV at a given distance is: Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 72 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 PPVdistance = PPVref*(25/D)^1.5 Where: PPVdistance = the peak particle velocity in inches/second of the equipment adjusted for distance, PPVref = the reference vibration level in inches/second at 25 feet, and D = the distance from the equipment to the receiver.

As shown in Table 17, the calculated vibration levels generated by construction equipment such as a large bulldozer would be below levels that could create structural damage of older residential structures (i.e., 0.3 in/sec). Large bulldozers would not likely operate directly at the shared property line, and therefore, effects of vibration such as rattling windowsis not anticipatedto occur at the existing structuresadjacent to the project site.In the event that such equipment may pass directly along the property line of adjacent residences, vibration effects would only sl response range, and for a very limited time, which would not be considered substantial. Based on the above analysis, the ground borne andvibration construction impacts would be less than significant. c)For a project located within the vicinity of a private airstrip or an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has notbeen adopted, within two miles of a public airport, would the project expose people residing or workingin the project area to excessive noise levels?No Impact.There are noprivate airstrips or public airports in the City of Rosemeador the project vicinity. The closest airport to the project is the El Monte Airport, which is approximately 3miles northeast of the project. Operations at the El Monte Airport would not expose project employees,customersor residents to excessive noise levels. The project would not be impacted by noise levels at the El Monte Airportdue to the distance of the airport from the project. XIV.POPULATION AND HOUSING: Wouldthe project: a)Induce substantial unplanned population growth in an area, either directly (for example, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example through extension of roads or other infrastructure)? Less Than Significant Impact.The project proposes to demolish the existing commercial building,duplexandsingle-family detached residenceto allow for the construction of the proposed mixed-use building consisting of18,646square feet of retail space and 42 condominiums. Currently there are nine current residents that livein the existing residential units on the site. The 42 condominiumsinclude 29 two-bedroom condominiums and 13 one-bedroom condominiums. The project is estimated to generate approximately 160 residents based on the average number of people Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 73 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 47 for all household types inthe City of Rosemeadthat is 3.8 personsper household.Based on the type of units proposed, it is anticipated that the proposed condominiums would generate less than 3.8 persons per household so the total number of residents is anticipated to be less than 160people. It is anticipated that many of the future project residents are existing Rosemead residents and currently live in Rosemead. Any existing Rosemead residents that move to and relocatefrom their existing residence in Rosemead to the project would ose future project residents that currently live outside Rosemead and would anticipated to increase significantly. The project would incrementally increase . However, it is not anticipated the project would induce a substantial unplanned population growth in Rosemead either directly or indirectlysince it is anticipated that some ofthe future project residents are current city residentsand the number of future residents that move to Rosemead from outside the city would be minimal. Therefore, the project b)Displace substantial numbers of existing people or housing, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere? Less Than Significant Impact. Theexisting nine current residents on theproject sitewould be displaced and would be required to find other housing either in Rosemead or other areas outside the city. Based on city information, there are for-sale and rent residential units available in the City of Rosemead for the project residents that would be displaced by the project to find alternative housing. Although the project woulddisplace the ninecurrent residents, there is alternative housing inthe City of Rosemead that could meet the housing needs ofthe displaced residents. Therefore, the project would have a less than significant impactto the existing project residents. XV.PUBLIC SERVICES: a)Wouldthe project result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which couldcause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for anyof the public services: i.Fire protection? Less Than Significant Impact.Fire protection services are provided by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Replacing the existing older commercial building on the site with a new mixed-use building that meets all applicable California Building Codes (CBC) could reduce the need for fire protection services at the site by the Los Angeles County Fire Department in the future. As a result, the project is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the Los Angeles County Fire Department. ii.Police protection?Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated.Police protection services are provided by the Los Angeles Cou located at 8838 Las Tunas Drive serves the project site. The response time to the project siteis 48 approximately 3.5 minutes.Compared to the existing condition, the project is anticipated to increasecalls for police protection due to more people and increased activity on the site. The incorporation of security measures, such as surveillance camerasin the parking areas, proper lighting, and secure doors and windows would minimize the increase in service calls to the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. The incorporation of the following measure would reduce police protection impacts to lessthan significant. 47 http://www.dof.ca.gov/Forecasting/Demographics/Estimates/e-5/, January 1, 2019. 48 Lt. Tony Duong, Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, telephone conversation, June 23, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 74 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 Mitigation Measure No. 15Prior tothe issuance of anoccupancy permit, the project developer shall install surveillance cameras, proper lighting and secure doors and windows to the satisfaction of the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department. iii.Schools? Less Than Significant Impact. The project is located in the Garvey School Districtand th serves students from pre-Kto8grade.Theproject would generate students to schools in the Garvey School Districtthat include Francis WillardElementary School located at 3152 N. Willard Avenue andRoger Temple Intermediate School located at 8510 E. Fern Avenue.Students grades 9-12 would attend Rosemead High School located at 9063 E. Mission Drive that is in the El Monte Union High School District. TheGarvey School District has capacity to servethe students 49 generated by the project. Both school districtscollect a development fee for residential and commercial development. The student impact fee is used by schools to provide additional classrooms to accommodate the students generated by residential and commercial/industrial development projects. The project developer would be required to pay the State mandated student impact fee to each District before building permits would be issued for construction. Payment of the required developmentfee would reduce impact of the students generated by the project to the Garvey School District and El Monte Union High School District to lessthansignificant. iv.Parks? Less Than Significant Impact.The closest City of Rosemead public parkto the projectis Zapopan Parkthat is located at 3018 N. Charlotte Avenue and approximately 1,500 feet west of the project. Zapopan Park isa7-acre neighborhood park with picnic facilities,anoutdoor basketball court and two playgrounds. Theproject is required to provide 6,300square feet of common open space. The project proposes approximately 15,329square feet of common open space in the form of outdoor decks, a courtyard, library,gym,recreation area,board room,and roof gardenor9,029square feetmore common open space than required. The project isalso required to provide 2,520 square feet of private open space. The project proposes 3,917square feet, or 1,397more square feet of private openspace in theform of private decks and balconiesthan required by the Rosemead Municipal Code. The projectproposes more public and private open space thanrequired for the site. It is anticipated that any existing Rosemead residents that move to the project will not significantly increase their useof City park and recreational facilities. For those residents that move to the site from outside Rosemead, there could be an increase in the use of City park and recreational facilities. It is anticipatedthat most ofthe project residents will not use City park and recreational facilities to a level that willsignificantly impact the existing facilities. The project developer would be required to pay the city-required development impact fee as requiredby RMC Chapter17.170.010. The development impact fee could be used by the City to provide park facilities as allowed by RMC Chapter 17.170.090, which includes the purchase of land, design, construction, equipment, etc. as deemed necessary to serve city residents, including project residents. The payment of the required development impact fee by the project developer would reduce potential park and recreational impacts to less than significant. v.Other public facilities? No Impact. There are no public facilities or services that wouldbe impacted by the project. 49 Liliane Awadalla, Garvey Elementary School District, email December 9, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 75 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 XVI. RECREATION a)Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur or be accelerated? Less Than Significant Impact. The project would not significantly impact recreation facilities. Please see Public Services sV.a. b)Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities that might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? Less Than Significant Impact. As discussed in Public Services sdoes not propose the construction of any on-site recreational facilities. However, as discussed in Public project would be required to pay the city-required park fee as required by RMC 12.44.020. The park fee would be used by the City at its discretion to either expand existing recreational facilities or acquire new parkland. The project does not require the construction or the expansion of other recreational facilities that would impact the environment. XVII. TRANSPORTATION: Would the project: a)Conflict with a program plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, including 50 transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities? Less Than Significant Impact. A traffic report was prepared for the project and is included in Appendix F. The project is estimated to generate approximately 1,009 daily vehicle trips, including 143 AM and 65 PM trips as shown in Table 20.

The following four (4) intersections were included in the study area for analysis: 1. I-10 Eastbound Ramps (NS) at Hellman Avenue (EW) 2. Walnut Grove Avenue (NS) at Hellman Avenue (EW) 3. Walnut Grove Avenue (NS) at Hellman Avenue (EW) 4. Walnut Grove Avenue (NS) at Garvey Avenue (EW) Current traffic counts were taken at the four intersections to determine the existing level of service (LOS) of each intersection. As shown in Table 21, all of the four intersections currently operate at LOS A, LOS B and LOS C, which are considered acceptable by the City.

As designed, the total occupancy could be up to 300 non-fixed seats. The existing Taiwan Center hours of operation are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, except for Mondays when it is closed. The proposed community hall would have the same hours of operation. While the community hall can be rented out to the public, it is not planned to be rented out with any frequency since the existing hall rarely gets rented out by the public.

Lectures and painting and dance classes are typically held during thedaytime,off-peak hours. An annual event bythe Taiwan Center would continue to be held at an off-site venue. Holiday events occur 2 to 3 times per year, including New Year and the Moon Festival. There are up to approximately 200 people at these eventsthat are held at the Taiwan Center from the hours of 9:00AMto 9:00 PM. Valet parking for the larger events at the Taiwan Center can be provided whennecessary. Valet parking would serve to minimize and reduce circulation and parking impacts at the site during the larger events that are held once or twice a yearat the site. Although large scale events are planned twice a year, it is recommended that a valet parking plan be prepared and submitted to the City for review. This valet parking plan will need to be approved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Based on the above traffic analysis, the project would not have any significant operational traffic impacts. b)Would the project conflict or be inconsistentwith CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b)? No Impact. CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3, subdivision (b) addresses project vehicle miles 51 traveled (VMT). The traffic study that was prepared for the project includes a VMT analysis. CaliforniaSenate Bill 743 (SB 743) directs the State Office of Planning and Research (OPR) to amend theCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines for evaluating transportation impacts to ion of greenhouse gas emissions, the 51 Garvey Walnut Mixed Use Project, Traffic Impact Analysis, Ganddini Group, Inc., May 3, 2021, page 67. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 82 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 development of multimodal transportation networks, and a div The 2020 CEQA Guidelines, specifically Section 15064.3, recommends the use of Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) as the primary metric for the evaluation of transportation impacts associated with land use and transportation projects. In general terms, VMT quantifies the amount and distance of automobile travel attributable to a project or region. All agencies and projects in California are required to utilize CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3 that requires VMT to evaluate transportation impacts as of July 1, 2020. The CEQA Guidelines allow a lead agency the discretion to establish the VMT methodologies and thresholds, provided there is substantial evidence to demonstrate that the established procedures promote the intended goals of the legislation. Where quantitative models or methods are unavailable, Section 15064.3 allows agencies to assess VMT qualitatively using factors such as availability of transit and proximity to other destinations. The Office of Planning and Research (OPR) Technical Advisory on garding methodologies and thresholds with a focus on office, residential, and retail developments as these projects tend to have the greatest influence on VMT. The VMT analysis for the project is based on adopted City of Rosemead VMT guidelines and direction from city staff. Consistent with recommendations in the OPR Technical Advisory, the City of Rosemead established screening criteria for certain projects that may be presumed to have a less than significant VMT impact and includes projects located in low-VMT generating areas. Based on City of Rosemead VMT Guidelines the proposed project is located in a low-VMT generating area. Therefore, the proposed project satisfies the screening criteria for a low-VMT generating area and as allowed would have a less than significant VMT impact. c)Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment)? Less Than Significant Impact. Existing access to the project site is by a two-way driveway from Walnut Grove Avenue. The project proposes a two-way driveway at Walnut Grove Avenue for site access. The proposed project driveway would allow southbound right-turns in and right-turns out, northbound left-turns into the project and eastbound left-turns onto northbound Walnut Grove Avenue. A queuing analysis was conducted for the 2022 opening year for southbound through/right turn movements at the intersection of Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue. Because the proposed project driveway is located approximately 155 feet north of the Walnut Grove at Garvey Avenue intersection the traffic movements at the intersection is key for ingress/egress for the project. Table 25 shows the queuing analysis summary on Walnut Grove Avenue at the project driveway. Based on the queuing analysis in Table 22, the southbound through/right turn movements at the intersection of Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue are calculated to queue north on Walnut Grove Avenue past the project driveway. As a result, there is the potential for southbound vehicles on Walnut Grove Avenue to queue northbound from the Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue intersection and block vehicular access in/out of the project driveway. Outbound project trips at the project driveway would queue internally on the project site and not affect traffic operations on Walnut Grove Avenue. However, vehicles heading northbound on Walnut Grove Avenue and wanting to turn left into the project site may need to stop and wait for southbound vehicles on Walnut Grove Avenue to clear the project driveway so that they can turn into the project site. Since the northbound left turning vehicles would be turning into the project site from a shared northbound through/left turn lane, northbound motorists on Walnut Grove Avenue may be forced to stop and queue behind the northbound left turning vehicles into the project site, which could impact traffic operations on northbound Walnut Grove Avenue.

Ave Notes: (1) SB = Southbound; TR = Through/Right The traffic report studied the effects of restricting motor vehicle turning movements at the project driveway to reduce potential northbound left turning movements on Walnut Grove Avenue into the project site. If turning movements at the project driveway are restricted to right turns in/out only, motor vehicles that want to exit the project site and go northbound on Walnut Grove Avenue and northbound motor vehicles on Walnut Grove Avenue that want to enter the project site would need to change their local travel patterns accordingly. A change in the travel patterns would increase traffic volumes on nearby roadway segments and intersections and increase VMT since the direct routes to/from the project site with a full access driveway would be eliminated. Table 26 shows an Opening Year (2022) With Project intersection level of service analysis based on the above driveway access restrictions, which includes right turns in/out only. As shown, the project driveway is forecast to operate at LOS B during both the AM and PM peak hours. As a full access driveway, the project driveway was forecast to operate at LOS E during the AM peak hour. Therefore, the proposed project driveway is calculated to operate at a City acceptable LOS during the peak hours.

(3) LOS = Level of Service In order to allow northbound left turn movements on Walnut Grove Avenue into the project site and left turns onto northbound Walnut Grove Avenue from the project site and not impact southbound traffic queues on Walnut Grove Avenue at the intersection with Garvey Avenue due to cars exiting the site at the project driveway at peak hours, the following mitigation measures are recommended. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 84 Mitigated Negative Declaration May 4, 2021 Mitigation Measure No. 16 Prior to the issuance of the first occupancy permit, a sign shall be posted at the project driveway exit -turns from the hours of 7:00 9:00 AM and 3:00 - 6:00 PM. The same sign shall also be posted on the building exterior at the project driveway entrance to restrict left- turns into the project from northbound Walnut Grove Avenue during the hours of 7:00 9:00 AM and 3:00 - 6:00 PM. The City Engineer shall determine the location of both signs. Mitigation Measure No. 17 Should the City Engineer determine that based on Los Angeles County Sheriff Department accident reports and/or traffic citations for left-turn violations at the project driveway, or queuing impacts at the intersection of Walnut Grove Avenue and Garvey Avenue, the City Engineer shall require the project applicant to construct at the applicants expense a median in Walnut Grove Avenue opposite the project driveway based on a design determined by the City Engineer. Truck Access and Circulation The traffic report studied project site and internal access for service trucks to serve the proposed commercial uses and trash pick-up. The height of the project driveway at Walnut Grove Avenue is 13 feet. A standard garbage truck would not be able to safely access and travel easily within the covered parking area to gain access to the proposed trash receptacles in the southwest area of the parking structure. Therefore, pickup trucks equipped to lift dumpsters to move the trash from the trash enclosures to Garvey Avenue would be required. A pickup truck would remove the trash enclosure from within the parking structure and drop the trash enclosures on Garvey Avenue adjacent to the site on the City designated day for trash collection for normal trash collection. At the end of the day, the private pickup truck would return the dumpsters to their respective location within the parking structure. Delivery service trucks that would serve the proposed retail uses on the first floor would enter the project site from Walnut Grove Avenue and park in a designated parking space in the southwest area of the ground floor. The height of the project entrance is 13 feet. Therefore, delivery trucks would be limited to a maximum height of . Figures 18 and 19 show the inbound and outbound truck turning templates to access the project site to/from the designated loading area on the ground floor, respectively. Truck turning templates are provided for both inbound and outbound truck turning movements on Walnut Grove Avenue to/from the project site. As shown on Figure 20, inbound trucks would enter the driveway from Walnut Grove Avenue and proceed to the designated loading area. Trucks would then drive northbound through the drive aisle to the northwest portion of the project site. The delivery trucks would leave the loading area and proceed to the driveway using the same path of travel to get to the loading area. Based on the truck turning templates the delivery trucks would have adequate access to serve the project without impacting traffic flow within the parking structure. Truck deliveries shall occur only during off-peak hours so that any potential conflict between trucks and customers of the project site land uses will be minimal.

Figure 20 On -Site Stacking On-Site Vehicular Stacking Figure 20shows the on-site stacking for outbound vehicles leaving the project site.Based on Figure 20, there is adequate on-site stacking for vehicles exiting the project site. There are no additionalproposeddriveways, curves, dangerous intersections,or site access designs that would significantly impacttraffic or have significant circulation hazards. d)Result in inadequate emergency access?Less Than Significant Impact.The existing public streets and circulation system that serve the site would continue to provide adequate emergency vehicle access for the project. The project proposes a driveway from Walnut Grove Avenue that measures 25 feet wide and13-feet high. The project also proposes a 28-foot wide fire lane from Walnut Grove Avenue atthe north end of the project site. Police, fire, paramedic/ambulance,and other emergency vehicles would have adequate site access to respond to on-site emergencies to the site via the proposed project driveway and the fire lane at the north end of the project site. As stated in section the project driveways would be reviewed by the city, including the police and fire departments, to ensure the driveways have adequate widths and turning radius for emergency vehicles to safely enter and exitthe site prior to the issuance of a building permit. The project would not significantly impact emergency access to the site. XVIII.TRIBAL CULTURAL RESOURCES: Wouldthe project: a)Would the project cause a substantial adverse change in the significanceof a tribal cultural resource, defined in Public Resources Code section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope ofthe landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe, and that is: i.Listed or eligible for listing in the California Register of Historical Resources, or in a local register of historical resources as defined inPublic Resources Code section 5020.1 (k). Potentially Significant Unless Mitigation Incorporated.As required by AB 52, the City mailed letters to the area Native American Indians that are on record with the City that may have cultural resources associated with the site. The Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation (Kizh Nation) submitted a letter to the City requesting consultation. Because the project site lies within the ancestral tribal territory of the Kizh Nation, tribal cultural resources could exist on the site. The following mitigation measuresarerecommended to reduce potential impacts to Tribal resources,if present. Mitigation Measure No. 18Prior to the commencement of any ground disturbing activity at the project site, the project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor approved by the Gabrieleño Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation.A copy of the executed contract shall be submitted to the City of Rosemead Planning and Building Department prior to the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground-disturbingactivity. The Tribal monitor shall only be present on-site during the construction phases that involve ground-disturbing activities. Ground disturbing activities are defined by the Tribe as activities that may include, but are not limited to, pavement removal, potholing or auguring, grubbing, tree removals, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching, within the project area. The Tribal Monitor shall complete daily monitoring logs that shall provide descriptions of Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 89 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 struction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground-disturbing activities on the project site are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and Tribal Monitor have indicated thatall upcoming ground-disturbing activities at the project site have little to nopotential toimpactTribal Cultural Resources. Mitigation Measure No. 19Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, construction activities shall cease in the immediatevicinity of the find (not less than the surrounding 100 feet) until the find can be assessed. All Tribal Cultural Resources unearthed by project activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor approved by the ConsultingTribe. If the resources are Native American in origin, the Consulting Tribe shall retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes. If human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized at the project site, all ground disturbance shall immediately cease, and the county coroner shall be notified per Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5. Human remains and grave/burialgoods shall betreated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). Work may continue on other parts of the project site while evaluation and, if necessary, mitigation takes place (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5\[f\]). If a non-Native American resource is determined by the cient to allow for implementation of avoidance measures, or appropriate mitigation, must be available. The treatment plan established for the resources shall be in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f) for historical resources and PRC Sections21083.2(b) for unique archaeological resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) isthe preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum, if such an institutionagrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes. Implementation of the recommended mitigation measures wouldreducepotential tribal cultural resource impacts to less than significant. ii)A resource determined by the lead agency, in its discretion and supported by substantial evidence, to be significant pursuant to criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1. In applying the criteria set forth in subdivision (c) of Public Resources Code Section 5024.1, the lead agency shall consider the significance of the resource to a California Native American tribe. Potentially SignificantUnless Mitigation Incorporated.As discussed in section XVIII.a.iabove, the project could significantly impact tribal Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 90 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 resourcesif present. The implementation of the recommended mitigation measureswouldreduce potential impacts to tribal resourcesto less than significant. XIX.UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS: Wouldthe project: a)Require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water,wastewater treatmentor storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunicationfacilities, the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects? Less Than Significant Impact.Water is currently provided to the project site by the San Gabriel Water Company. There is anexisting 12-inch water maininWalnut Grove Avenue adjacent to the site that serves the existing uses on the site. The 12-inch water main in Walnut Grove Avenue has capacity to provide the required potable water supply and fire flow forthe project without the need to construct new water supply facilities or expand existing facilities. An existing 11-inch sewer line in Walnut Grove Avenue adjacent to the site has existing capacity to serve the project.Wastewater in the existing 11- inch sewer line would flow south and connect to a39-inch diameter sewer trunk line in Klingerman Street at Bartlett Avenue that has capacity to serve the project. Wastewater generated by the project would be treated at the Whittier Narrows Water Reclamation Plant located in the City of South El 52 Monte,which has capacity to treat the wastewater from the project.All other utilities required to serve the project, including storm drainage, electricity, natural gas and telecommunications are located in Walnut Grove Avenue and have capacity to serve the project and would not have to be relocated. The project would not have any significant public utility impacts. The project would consume more water and generate more wastewater than the existing uses on the site. The project is estimated to consume approximately 12,686gallons of water per day as shown in 53 Table 27. The project is estimated to generate approximately 1,998 gallons per day of wastewater. The project waterand wastewater needs can be accommodated by the existing facilities and constructionof new or expanded water or wastewater facilities would not be required. The project would be required to install State mandated low flow water fixtures to minimize water consumption and wastewater generation. Theproject will not require the construction of any sewer or water lines and have any significantly environmental impacts. Table 27 Estimated Project Water Consumption 54 UseUnits/Sq. Ft.Consumption RateConsumption Residential 42units 160 gallons/day/unit6,720 gallons/day Retail18,646sq. ft.320 gallons/day/1,000 sq. ft. 5,966gallons/day Total12,686gallons/day b)Have sufficient water supplies available to serve the project and reasonably foreseeable future development during normal, dry and multiple dry years?Less Than SignificantImpact. Potable water is provided to the project site by the San Gabriel Valley Water Company. As shown in Table 27, the project is estimated to consume approximately12,686gallons of water per day. Based on the San Gabriel Valley Water Company, Los Angeles County Division 2015 Urban Water Management Plan the San Gabriel Valley Water Company has an adequate water supply to meet the demand of the project 55 into the future.The project wouldhave a less than significant impact on water supply. 52 Ms. Adriana Raza, County Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County, letter dated June 25,2020. 53 Ibid. 54 City of Los Angeles, Bureau of Engineering. 55 Liuzong Zhour, P.E., San Gabriel Water Company, letter dated December 10, 2020. Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 91 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 Result ina determination by the wastewater treatment provider that serves or may serve the ting commitments?Less Than Significant Impact. Please see sectioIX.a above. waste disposal needs? Less Than Significant Impact.The project would generate more solid waste from the site than the current uses due to anincrease in the amount of development proposed for the site compared to the existing development on the site. The solid waste from the project would be hauled to the Puente Hills Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in the City of Whittier and operated by the Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles County. The MRF separates recyclable material from municipal solid waste and all residual waste is hauled to permitted landfills and all recovered recyclable materials arerecycled.The Puente Hills MRF is permittedtoaccept up to 4,400 tons per day (8,800,000 pounds/day)ofmunicipal solid waste. The project is estimated to generate approximately 126 pounds per day of solid waste of which approximately 50% is recycled and the remaining 50% is hauled to a permittedlandfill.The municipal solid waste generated by the project is not anticipated to significantly impact the permitted capacity ofany Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts landfills. Solid waste collection will be required to conform to RMC 17..00()() in terms of collection hours, trash enclosures, screening, etc. The project will not have any significant solid waste impacts. Once the project is constructed and operational, it is estimated to generate approximately 394pounds 56 of solid waste per day.Of the 394pounds, approximately 50%, or 197 pounds per daywould be recycled and the balance of non-recycled materialwould be hauled to a permitted landfill. The 197 pounds of solid waste that is estimated to be generated by the project represents a nominal amount of the solid waste that would be hauled to alandfillthat would serve the project. Therefore, the impact of the solid waste generated by the project would be less thansignificant. e)Comply with federal, state, and local statutesandregulations related to solid waste? Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Rosemead complies with all Federal, State, and local statutes and regulations related to solid waste. The project wouldnot have any solid waste impacts because the residentsand commercial uses wouldbe required to comply wouldall applicable solid waste statues and regulations and large quantities of solid waste wouldnot be generated. XX.WILDFIRE: If located in ornear state responsibility areas or lands classified as veryhighfire hazard severity zones, would the project: a)Substantially impair an adopted emergency response plan or emergency evacuation plan? No Impact. Theproject does not propose any improvementsthat would not impair or impact any emergency response or emergency evacuation plan associated with an emergency response to a fire in theclosest Local Responsibility Area (LRA)or State Responsibility Area (SRA)fire hazard zonesin close proximity to the site. c)Due to slope, prevailing winds, and other factors, exacerbate wildfire risks, and thereby expose project occupants to, pollutant concentrations from a wildfire or the uncontrolled spread of a wildfire? Less Than Significant Impact.There are no moderate, high or very high fire hazard 57 severity zonesin aSRA within the City of Rosemead.The closest SRAdesignated fire hazard zone is the open space in Turnball Canyon located approximately four miles southeast of the project.There are alsono Very High Fire Hazard Safety Zones in a LRA in the City ofRosemead. Theclosest LRA designated Very High Fire Hazard Safety Zone is the open space in the City of Whittier located 56 https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/WasteCharacterization/General/Rates,Residential -4 pounds/day/unit, Commercial 13 pounds/1,000 sq. ft/day. 57 https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/media/6705/fhszs_map19.pdf Garvey Walnut Grove Plaza Mixed-Use Project Page 92 Mitigated Negative Declaration May4, 2021 approximately three miles southeast of the project. While the project is not within or adjacent to any LRA or SRA fire hazard areas,Santa Ana winds could expose project occupants to smoke and other pollutants associated with wildfires located the LRA and SRA fire hazard areas southeast of the project. However, that exposure would not be site specific because much of the City of Rosemeadand the general geographic area would be also be exposed and not the project site specifically. The project would not expose project occupants to significant pollutant concentrations from awildfire due to slope, prevailing winds or other factors. d)Reguire the installation or maintenance of associated infrastructure (such as roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities) that may exacerbate fire risk or that mayresult in temporary or ongoing impacts to the environment?NoImpact.The project would be required by the CBC to install fire sprinklers. However, the project would not be required to install and maintain any roads, fuel breaks, emergency water sources, power lines or other utilities to protect the project and the immediate area from a wildfire because the project is not located in a Moderate, High or Very High fire hazard zoneas discussed in section XX.a. e)Expose people or structures to significant risks, including downslope or downstream flooding orlandslides, as a result or runoff, post-fire slope instability, or drainage changes? No Impact. As discussed in XX.a.High fire SRA or LRA hazard zone.The project site as wellas the area surrounding the project site are relatively flat and there are no slopes or flooding that could impact the project site due to landslides as a result of slope runoff, post-fire slope instability or drainage changes. Therefore, the project wouldnot be exposed and impacted by secondary impacts of a wildfire. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE: Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of afish or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, substantially reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal, or eliminate importantexamples of the major periods of California history orprehistory?Less Than Significant Impact. The1.06-acre site is developed and the existing vegetation on the site is introduced urban landscape materials. There are no rare, endangered, or sensitive plants or wildlife on the site that would be impacted by the project. Theexisting buildings on the site do not represent California history orprehistory that would besignificantly impacted. Theproject would not significantly impact biological orhistorical resources. Does the project have impacts that areindividually limited, but cumulatively considerable? siderable when viewed in connection with the effects ofpast projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) Less Than Significant Impact. The City of Rosemead has identified projects that, along with the proposed project, could have cumulative impacts.The cumulative projects are shown in Table 28 andtheir locations are shown in Figure 21.

Therefore, the project would not have any significant short-or long-term cumulative air quality impacts. The project would not have any individual or cumulative noise or traffic impacts. In addition, the project would not have any significant impacts associated with aesthetics, agricultural, biological resources, cultural resources, hazardous, hydrology, soils and geology, land use, public services, utilities or wildfire that alongwith the cumulative projects listed in Table 2817.74would not result in any significant cumulative impacts. c)Does the project have environmental effects that would cause substantial adverseeffects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? LessThanSignificant Impact. There are no significant impacts associated with the proposed project that would cause substantial adverse effects and significantly impact human beings either directlyor indirectly.
