CC - Item 3A - Public Hearing on Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, General Plan Amendment 19-03, and Zone Change 19-03 Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use OverlayROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER .t \ DATE: SEPTEMBER 7, 2021 SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING ON MUNICIPAL CODE AMENDMENT 19-02, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 19-03, AND ZONE CHANGE 19-03 FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED-USE OVERLAY SUMMARY The Freeway Corridor Mixed -Use (FCMU) Overlay encompasses six geographic areas within the City of Rosemead. The areas total approximately 60 acres (186 parcels) and were selected based on proximity to the Interstate 10 (I-10) Freeway, location along primary City corridors, and adjacency to public transit lines. FCMU Overlay areas are located along Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, Walnut Grove Avenue, Valley Boulevard, Temple City Boulevard, and Rosemead Boulevard. The FCMU Overlay identifies special provisions for land use, development standards, urban design, community benefits, and by -right uses, in addition to those in the existing underlying base zone, to support appropriate mixed-use and residential development. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas. No base zones are proposed to be modified. A copy of the draft FCMU Overlay document is attached as Attachment "A". ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The City of Rosemead acting as a Lead Agency, has completed an environmental analysis and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts or previously identified significant impacts made more severe by project modifications, new circumstances, or new information associated with the project. Therefore, the City determined that an Addendum to the Rosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report is the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document to address project modifications in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c) provides that an addendum need not be circulated for public review. A copy of the Addendum is attached as Attachment "I" and available on the City of Rosemead's website and City Hall.

Freeway Corridor Mixed Use Overlay (Public Review Draft) •I• Introduction Existing commercial development visible from Interstate 10 (2021). 1.1 Purpose The Freeway Corridor Mixed -Use Overlay (FCMU Overlay) is intended to provide new opportunities for housing, economic revitalization, and attractive placemaking at strategic locations along primary City corridors that are in general proximity to Interstate 10 Freeway (1-10 Freeway). These areas have the potential to create attractive gateways into the City while also contributing to a more cohesive community aesthetic and development pattern for a more livable Rosemead. The FCMU Overlay establishes land use and urban design direction that will attract private investment to promote contextually appropriate mixed-use and residential development in targeted areas of the City. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas. For information related to the specific location of the FCMU Overlay within the City, refer to Chapter 2, Section 2.1. 2 Freeway Corridor Mixed Use Overlay (Public Review Draft) 4P .1 Introduction 1.2 Background and Project Goals Action Item C for economic development was to: “C. Create an Overlay Zoning District for opportunity sites along the I-10 Freeway with freeway ingress and egress off ramps.” This concept is further supported by Vision 2020 in the 2018-2020 Strategic Plan and establishment of the Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial land use categories, among other supporting policies. To aid in the implementation of the FCMU Overlay, the City applied for and received a related to the SB 2 Grant funding include: 1. Make funding available to all local governments in California for the preparation, adoption and implementation of plans that streamline housing approvals and accelerate housing production. 2. Facilitate planning activities that will foster an adequate supply of homes affordable to Californians at all income levels. It is designed to help local governments meet the challenges of preparing and adopting land use plans and integrating strategies to promote housing development. 3. Fund activities are intended to achieve the following program objectives: • Accelerate housing production; • Streamline the approval of housing development affordable to owner and renter households at all income levels; • Facilitate housing affordability for all income groups; • Promote development consistent with the State Planning Priorities (Government Code section 65041.1); and • Ensure geographic equity in the distribution and expenditure of allocated funds.

City of Rosemead1- 3 In}rod notion 1.3 Planning Process To understand the existing planning framework and policy context within the City, a robust due diligence and background research process was undertaken. Building on these efforts, a Background Research and Analysis Report was prepared. This report captured a detailed review of existing City policies relevant to the FCMU Overlay and included reference to community engagement input received. City documents and studies reviewed included existing policies related to land use, mobility, and infrastructure aswell as a high-level review of the City's current development review process and recent State legislation related to housing. IMF Rosemead 9 4 r FCMU Overlay Background Report. 1.4 Community Engagement The FCMU Overlay builds upon input received by the City Council, Planning Commission, the City's CommercialTask Force, and community stakeholders, during the project process. Meetings and coordination with City staff also provided valuable feedback that was incorporated into the FCMU Overlay. Input and feedback received over the course of the project process provided insight on opportunities, constraints, issues, and concerns that ultimately helped to inform development of the FCMU Overlay in a manner that is contextually appropriate and sensitive to local concerns. Project Webpage To ensure ease of access to project related information by the community and other interested parties, a project-specif c webpage was setup on the City's website. The webpage included a general project description, project materials, project timeline, frequently asked questions, information on how the community could participate in the project, and City staff contact information. Freeway Corridor Mixed Use Overlay (Public Review Drafi) Introduction Stakeholder Interviews and overlay districts, the consultant team conducted eight 30- to 45-minute-long virtual stakeholder interview sessions. A total of 11 interviewees in groups of one to two people participated, which encompassed a variety of individuals with interest in the study area, including property owners, developers, architects, real estate professionals, business owners, and institutional representatives. A number of similar themes emerged from stakeholders about issues related to mixed-use for the most part consistent with contemporary design standards of other San Gabriel Valley projects feasible, and achieve City policy goals. These included: 1. City review processes and administration are business-friendly and proactive. 2. Development standard requiring certain percentages for commercial/retail and residential space in mixed-use developments is seen as restrictive and limiting development potential. • Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Overlay (RC-MUDO): • Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial – 33% commercial, 67% residential; • Mixed-Use High Density Residential/Commercial – 25% commercial, 75% residential; • • • Residential/Commercial – 35% nonresidential, 65% residential • residential. 3. 4. Location of required commercial/retail uses in mixed-use development should be more strategic (i.e., intersection corners vs. mid block locations). 5. New mixed-use developments are desirable to provide new housing and business options and increase City revenue. City of Rosemead1- 5 Introduction 3.

These three opportunity sites were selected based on typical property and location characteristics found within the FCMU Overlay area. The intent of these conceptual graphics was to provide insight to the community and decision makers on how current, The two typical property and location characteristic can be generally described by the following: • Corridor: Located along existing commercial corridors with consistent lot depths and land use adjacencies to existing single-family. Refer to Exhibit 1-1 for conceptual design approach based on this condition. • Block: Located along or directly adjacent to Rosemead Boulevard, properties are generally larger in size and land use adjacencies. Refer to Exhibit 1-2 and 1-3 for conceptual design approach based on this condition. The graphics shown on the following pages are representative of the different FCMU Overlay areas that are discussed in further detail in Chapter 2. They are conceptual in nature and do not represent a proposed project or development on any of the properties shown.

City of RosemeadA-3 Mixed -Use Categories Rosemead has established three Mixed -Use categories to provide options for innovative approaches to land use and development. These categories allow for a mix of land uses in the same building, on the same parcel of land, or side by side within the same area. Such complementary use stimulates business activity, encourages pedestrian patronage, and provides a broader range of options to property owners to facilitate the preservation, re -use and redevelopment of structures. Mixed -Use Residential/Commercial Generally mixed-use development performs best when it is located near other mixed-use development. This configuration gives the residents more retail and office choices located and designed for pedestrian activity. Similarly, business may prefer to locate near each other to gain the synergistic benefits of serving the same clientele. As such, the mixed-use designations are located in such a manner to maximize or capitalize on that synergy. 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 also subject to review and compliance with the City's adopted mixed-use design guidelines. LAN D USE This designation applies to areas of Rosemead with historically less intensive commercial and office development. The Mixed - Use Residential/Commercial category is located on Valley Boulevard between Muscatel Avenue and Valley Boulevard, and on Garvey Avenue between Charlotte Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. Residential densities are limited to a maximum of 25 to 30 units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use and integrated mixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is 1.6:1. The typical population density is approximately 119 persons per acre. Office Development PA G E 2- 1 s JULY 23, 2 0 2 1 L A N D U S E Mixed-Use High Density Residential/Commercial Similar to the Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial category, the Mixed-Use High Density Residential/Commercial category permits vertically or horizontally mixed-use commercial, office, and residential uses, but greater residential densities are permitted and encouraged. Retail uses shall be emphasized along the ground floor of street frontages, and pedestrian connections among the uses and surrounding neighborhoods should be provided. This designation applies to the eastern end of Valley Boulevard and south of Garvey Avenue, just west of the eastern boundary, and portions of Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, and Hellman Avenue south of Interstate 10, and Rosemead Boulevard and Valley Boulevard north of Interstate 10, as shown on the Land Use Policy Map. Residential densities are limited to a maximum of 36 to 60 units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use and integrated mixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is 2:1. The typical population density is approximately 191 persons per acre. Mixed-Use Industrial/Commercial The Mixed-Use Industrial/Commercial category accommodates light industry, research and development, and office uses. The emphasis is on businesses that provide career-oriented and trade jobs. Commercial uses should be limited to those that support the primary industrial and office uses. Areas designated for Mixed-Use Industrial/Commercial are limited to properties along San Gabriel Boulevard south of Hellman Avenue to Park Street, along San Gabriel Avenue south of the SCE easement to Rush Street, and on Garvey Avenue from Walnut Grove to Muscatel Avenue (south side of Garvey Avenue) or City limit (north side of Garvey Avenue). The maximum FAR is 2.5:1. Site design shall take into consideration any adjacent residential neighborhoods with regard to parking lot entrances, location of parking and loading facilities, building massing, and lighting.

Action 2.2 Create incentive programs to encourage the renovation and rehabilitation of older commercial areas. Action 2.3 Prepare a specific plan, design guidelines, and/or development standards to plan for existing development and to plan for both private and public realm design features in the Mixed- Use area located on Valley Boulevard between Walnut Grove and Rosemead Boulevard. Action 2.4 Implement the Rosemead Downtown Vision Plan or other urban design plans, if adopted by the City Council, for new projects and the rehabilitation and revitalization of existing development on Valley Boulevard. Action 2.5 Prepare development standards encouraging the inclusion of public plazas and spaces in new and existing commercial areas. Action 2.6 Develop a marketing program that identifies needed commercial goods and services; actively pursue such businesses to locate within existing commercial and new mixed-use areas. Goal 3 Creation of vibrant, attractive mixed-use development Action 3.1 Encourage, whenever appropriate, land use conversion from marginal commercial, industrial or residential uses to mixed-use development along major arterials in areas of the City designated for Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial. Mixed-use development of this type should be encouraged when a proposal will result in the following: The assembling of existing lots; A reduction of the number of access points No negative impact on surrounding land uses. P A G E 2 - 3 0 JULY 23, 2 0 2 1 L A N D U S E Criteria for evaluating a proposal within these guidelines could include: Conformance to Residential/Commercial Mixed-Use Overlay and Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay development standards and adopted Mixed-Use Design Guidelines. Action 3.2 Require an integrally-colored decorative six foot tall CMU block wall, landscaped buffers with mature landscaping, and/or a vine-covered wall, on those sides abutting a residentially zoned area. Agreements between property owners should be encouraged whereby the applicant installs the wall and/or landscaping and the adjacent property owner maintains it because the wall is on their property. The landscaped buffer strip will have a minimum width of three feet between the property line wall and adjacent property. Action 3.3 Encourage land use conversions to commercial uses, particularly along major arterials, only when a proposal: Assembles contiguous lots; Limits the number of curb cuts along major arterials; Provides adequate on-site parking and on- site circulation; Operates in conformance with th Noise Ordinance and other applicable environmental regulations; and Will not negatively impact surrounding land uses. Action 3.4 Whenever and wherever possible, encourage the grouping of certain types of commercial activities that would benefit from this type of a development. Action 3.5 To maximize commercial synergy and to minimize the development of small, stand alone commercial buildings, such as mini-malls, direct new commercial development smaller than 5,000 square feet of gross floor area to shopping centers with a combined floor area of at least 15,000 square feet.

The areas total approximately 60 acres (186 parcels) and were selected based on proximity to the Interstate (I-10) Freeway, location along primary City corridors and adjacency to public transit lines. FCMU Overlay areas are located along Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, Walnut Grove Avenue, Valley Boulevard, Temple City Boulevard, and Rosemead Boulevard. The FCMU Overlay identifies special provisions for land use, development standards, urban design, community benefits and by-right uses, in addition to those in the existing underlying base zone, to support appropriate mixed-use and residential development. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas. No base zones are proposed to be modified; and WHEREAS, the proposed FCMU Overlay is intended to provide new opportunities for housing, economic revitalization, and attractive placemaking at strategic locations along primary City corridors that are in general proximity to the I-10 Freeway. These areas have the potential to create attractive gateways into the City while also contributing to a more cohesive community aesthetic and development pattern for a more livable Rosemead. The FCMU Overlay establishes land use and urban design direction that will attract private investment to promote contextually appropriate mixed-use and residential development in targeted areas of the City. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas; and WHEREAS, the proposed FCMU Overlay is an overlay zoning district that is voluntary in nature, meaning that the underlying base zoning designation for an individual property where the FCMU Overlay applies will remain in place. At the may be developed under the existing base zoning designation or elect to apply the FCMU Overlay designation to guide the development of the property; and WHEREAS, the proposed FCMU Overlay features, designs and forms that together encourage high quality infill and mixed-use redevelopment of vacant lots and underutilized properties to their highest and best use, activates and beautifies the streets to create walkable environments, implements tailored parking standards, and illustrates conceptual development scenarios. Standards vary within the two categories of overlay zones appropriate for the intended type of development envisioned for the two FCMU Overlay districts addressing Corridor and Block contexts. The FCMU Overlay contains an Introduction (Chapter 1) that addresses the purpose, background and project goals, planning process, community engagement, opportunity 1 sites analysis, and vision with supporting objectives, as well as conceptual development scenarios. Chapter 2 (Land Use) of the FCMU Overlay describes the location, application, companion General Plan and zoning revisions, permitted uses, development standards, design standards, community benefits program, and density bonus provisions. Chapter 3 (Urban Design) provides guidance for the public and private realm, including policies related to sidewalks, street trees, streetscape furnishings, and sidewalk dining to support an inviting environment. Chapter 4 (Infrastructure and Public Facilities and Services) of the FCMU Overlay summarizes information related to infrastructure and public services within the overlay area. Chapter 5 (Administration and Implementation) of the FCMU Overlay describes the zoning authority, processing requirements, and administrative procedures required for amendments and/or modifications to the FCMU Overlay; and WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead has an adopted Zoning Code and associated maps, including specific development standards to control development; and WHEREAS, State Planning and Zoning Law and Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.152.060(B) authorizes and sets standards for approval of Zoning Code and Zone Change applications and governs development of private properties; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission is an advisory body to the City Council with regard to the approval of Zone Changes and Zoning Code Amendments; and WHEREAS, City of Rosemead policy encourages consistency of its Zoning Code with the General Plan and promotes separation of conflicting land uses through good planning practices; and WHEREAS, adoption of the Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay requires approval of a Zoning Map Amendment to the Rosemead Official Zoning Map for the affected properties to add the FCMU Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use (Zone Change 19- 03); and WHEREAS, adoption of the Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay amends Title 17 of the Rosemead Municipal Code regarding the requirements and provisions of the Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay (Municipal Code Amendment 19-02); and WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, a Program Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2007111090) for the Rosemead General Plan Update was prepared and certified by the City of Rosemead on October 14, 2008, by City Council Resolution No. 2008-66; and WHEREAS, the City of Rosemead acting as a lead agency has completed an environmental analysis and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts or previously identified significant impacts made more severe by project modifications, new circumstances, or new information associated with the project. Therefore, the City has determined that an Addendum to the Rosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report is the appropriate CEQA document to address project modifications in accordance 2 with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c) provides that an addendum need not be circulated for public review; and WHEREAS, on August 2, 2021, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed and advertised public hearing to receive oral and written testimony relative Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, Zone Change 19-03, and for the FCMU Overlay and recommended the City Council adopt Resolution 2021-29 and Ordinance No. 1001 for the approval of General Plan Amendment 19-03, Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, Zone Change 19-03, and the FCMU Overlay; and WHEREAS, notices were posted in six public locations and was published in the Rosemead Reader on August 26, 2021, specifying the date, time, and location of the City Council public hearing to consider amending the Zoning Code and Zone Change pursuant to California Government Code Section 65091; and WHEREAS, on September 7, 2021, the City Council held a duly noticed and advertised public hearing to receive oral and written testimony relative to Municipal Code Amendment 19- 02, Zone Change 19-03, and the FCMU Overlay; and WHEREAS, the City Council, having final approval authority, has sufficiently considered all testimony and public comment presented to them prior to taking action on the project and its environmental determination. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council finds and determines an Addendum to the Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2007111090) has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City considered the information contained in the Addendum to the Final Program EIR prior to making a decision on Municipal Code Amendment and Zone Change for the FCMU Overlay. The Addendum to the Final Program EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City Council and contains sufficient information and analysis to allow the City Council to make an informed decision, considering the environmental implications of the proposed project, mitigation measures and alternatives. SECTION 2. Findings. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, amending sections of Title 17 with the addition of Sections 17.28.010(D) (purpose) and 17.28.040 (applicability, approval procedure and permit requirements, permitted uses, development standards, design standards, community benefits program, and urban design provisions), and approving Zone Change 19-03, amending the Official Zoning Map in accordance with Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.152.060(B), as follows: A. The proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific plan; and 3 FINDING: The proposed amendments are consistent with the General Plan in that the City Council approved General Plan Amendment 19-03 by separate Resolution and that amendment is limited to updates to certain figures, tables, text, and terms to ensure consistency and Policies of the General Plan. With the approval of General Plan Amendment 19-03; both Municipal Code Amendment 19-02 and Zone Change 19-03 are consistent with the 2010 Rosemead General Plan and specifically implements Goals contained in the Land Use Element and Housing Element. B. The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and FINDING: The proposed amendments will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that Municipal Code Amendment 19-02 is limited to updates to the Zoning Ordinance text and Zone Change 19-03 updates the Official Zoning Map, neither of which directly result in physical improvements. Each individual development or redevelopment of parcels within the FCMU Overlay will be reviewed for compliance with the General Plan EIR and other City environmental policies as they relate to Rosemead, acting as a lead agency, has completed an environmental analysis and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts or previously identified significant impacts made more severe by project modifications, new circumstances, or new information associated with the project. Therefore, the City determined that an Addendum to the Rosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report is the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) document to address project modifications in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. C. Additional finding for Zoning Code Amendments. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code; and FINDING: Municipal Code Amendment 19-02 will modify sections of the Zoning Code (Title 17) applicable to implementation of development or redevelopment of parcels specifically within the FCMU Overlay and are necessary to ensure consistency of regulations and development standards unique to the FCMU Overlay without creating inconsistencies for existing zoning districts, land uses and their respective development standards. Further, the FCMU Overlay is an overlay tool that is voluntary in nature, meaning that the underlying base zoning designation for an individual property where the FCMU Overlay applies will remain in placeped under the existing base zoning designation or elect to apply the FCMU Overlay designation to guide the development of the property. D. Additional finding for Zoning Map Amendments. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, 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 4 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: Zone Change 19-03 amends the Official Zoning Map, included as Exhibit A herein, which contains sites that are physically suitable to development or redevelopment as the physical properties encompass approximately 60 acres of established commercial corridors of Rosemead where vacant and underutilized parcels can support development of mixed-use development within the buildout assumptions of the existing General Plan. Although Zone Change 19-03 does not directly result in development projects, implementation of provisions within the companion governing document, the FCMU Overlay, contains regulations and standards to ensure that each project developed or redeveloped does not endanger, jeopardize, or create hazards to properties or improvements.

Attachment G Resolution No. 2021-29 RESOLUTION NO. 2021-29 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OFTHE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 19-03 IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED-USE OVERLAY WHEREAS,the City of Rosemead is proposing the adoption of the Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use (FCMU) Overlay that encompasses six geographic areas within the City of Rosemead. The areas total approximately 60 acres (186 parcels) and were selected based on proximity to the Interstate (I-10) Freeway, location along primary City corridors and adjacency to public transit lines. FCMU Overlay areas are located along Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, Walnut Grove Avenue, Valley Boulevard, Temple City Boulevard, and Rosemead Boulevard. The FCMU Overlay identifies special provisions for land use, development standards, urban design, community benefits and by-right uses, in addition to those in the existing underlying base zone, to support appropriate mixed-use and residential development. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas. No base zones are proposed to be modified; and WHEREAS, the proposed FCMUOverlay is intended to provide new opportunities for housing, economic revitalization, and attractive placemaking at strategic locations along primary City corridors that are in general proximity to I-10 Freeway. These areas have the potential to create attractive gateways into the City while also contributing to a more cohesive community aesthetic and development pattern for a more livable Rosemead. The FCMU Overlay establishes land use and urban design direction that will attract private investment to promote contextually appropriate mixed-use and residential development in targeted areas of the City. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas; and WHEREAS,the proposed FCMU Overlay is an overlay zoning district that is voluntary in nature, meaning that the underlying base zoning designation for an individual property where theroperty may be developed under the existing base zoning designation or elect to apply the FCMU Overlay designation to guide the development of the property; and WHEREAS, the proposed FCMU Overlay features designs and forms that together encourage high quality infill and mixed-use redevelopment of vacant lots and underutilized properties to their highest and best use, activates and beautifies the streets to create walkable environments, implements tailored parking standards, and illustrates conceptual development scenarios. Standards vary within the two categories of overlay zones appropriate for the intended type of development envisioned for the two FCMU Overlay districts addressing Corridor and Block contexts. The FCMU Overlay contains an Introduction (Chapter 1) that addresses the purpose, background and project goals, planning process, community engagement, opportunity sites analysis, and vision with supporting objectives, as well as conceptual development scenarios. Chapter 2 (Land Use) of the FCMU Overlay describes the location, application, companion General Plan and zoning revisions, permitted uses, development standards, design standards, community benefits program, and density bonus provisions.

WHEREAS,the City of Rosemead acting as a lead agency has completed an environmental analysis and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts or previously identified significant impacts made more severe by project modifications, new circumstances, or new information associated with the project. Therefore, the City has determined that an Addendum to the Rosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report is the appropriate CEQA document to address project modifications in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section15164. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c) provides that an addendum need not be circulated for public review; and WHEREAS, the City Council, having final approval authority, has sufficiently considered all testimony and public comment presented to them prior to taking action on the project and its environmental determination. NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1.The City Council finds and determines an Addendum to the Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2007111090) has been completed in compliance with CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines theinformation contained in the Addendum to the Final Program EIR prior to making a decision on General Plan Amendment for the Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay. The Addendum to the Final Program EIR reflects the independent judgment of the City Council andcontains sufficient information and analysis to allow the City Council to make an informed decision, considering the environmental implications of the proposed project, mitigation measures and alternatives. SECTION2.Findings.The City CouncilHEREBY FINDSAND DETERMINESthat facts do exist to justify approving General Plan Amendment 19-03attached hereto as Exhibit A 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 is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan in that General Plan Amendment 19-03 is limited to updates to certain figures, tables, text, and terms to ensure Overlay and does not amend Goals, Objectives,and Policies of the General Plan. General Plan Amendment 19-03 is consistent with the 2010 Rosemead General Plan and specifically implements Goals contained in the Land Use Element and Housing Element. B.The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City; and FINDING:The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City in that General Plan Amendment 19-03 is limited to updates to certain figures, tables, text, and terms within the 2010 Rosemead General Plan and does not directly result in physical improvements.Each individual development or redevelopment of parcels within the FCMU Overlay will be reviewed for compliance with the General Plan EIR and convenience or welfare. Further, the City of Rosemead acting as a lead agency has completed an environmental analysis and determined that there are no new significant environmental impacts or previously identified significant impacts made more severe by project modifications, new circumstances, or new information associated with the project. Therefore, the City determined that an Addendum to the Rosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report is the appropriate California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)document to address project modifications in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. 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 constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. FINDING:The affected site is physically suitable as the physical area that is the subject ofGeneral Plan Amendment 19-03 encompasses the established commercial corridors of Rosemead where vacant and underutilized parcels can support development of mixed-use development within the buildout assumptions of the existing General Plan. Although GeneralPlan Amendment 19-03 does not directly result in development projects, implementation of provisions within the companion governing document, the FCMU Overlay, contains regulations and standards to ensure that each project developed or redeveloped does notendanger, jeopardize, or create hazards to properties or improvements. SECTION 3.The City Council approvesGeneral Plan Amendment 19-03as set forth in Exhibit A. SECTION 4.Certification.The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution and hereafter the same shall be in full force and effect. th PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTEDthisday of September, 2021. _____________________________ Polly Low, Mayor APPROVED AS TO FORM:ATTEST: ________________________________________________________ Rachel Richman, City AttorneyEricka Hernandez, City Clerk Exhibits: A.General Plan Amendment 19-03 EXHIBIT A General Plan Amendment 19-03 Mixed -Use Categories Rosemead has established three Mixed -Use categories to provide options for innovative approaches to land use and development. These categories allow for a mix of land uses in the same building, on the same parcel of land, or side by side within the same area. Such complementary use stimulates business activity, encourages pedestrian patronage, and provides a broader range of options to property owners to facilitate the preservation, re -use and redevelopment of structures. Mixed -Use Residential/Commercial Generally mixed-use development performs best when it is located near other mixed-use development. This configuration gives the residents more retail and office choices located and designed for pedestrian activity. Similarly, business may prefer to locate near each other to gain the synergistic benefits of serving the same clientele. As such, the mixed-use designations are located in such a manner to maximize or capitalize on that synergy. 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 also subject to review and compliance with the City's adopted mixed-use design guidelines. LAND USE This designation applies to areas of Rosemead with historically less intensive commercial and office development. The Mixed - Use Residential/Commercial category is located on Valley Boulevard between Muscatel Avenue and Valley Boulevard, and on Garvey Avenue between Charlotte Avenue and Walnut Grove Avenue. Residential densities are limited to a maximum of 25 to 30 units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use and integrated mixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is 1.6:1. The typical population density is approximately ng persons per acre. t\ 7 Offs Development PA GE z -i5 JULY zx. z o 2 1 LAND USE Mixed -Use High Density Residential/Commercial Similar to the Mixed -Use Residential/Commercial category, the Mixed -Use High Density Residential/Commercial category permits vertically or horizontally mixed-use commercial, office, and residential uses, but greater residential densities are permitted and encouraged. Retail uses shall be emphasized along the ground floor of street frontages, and pedestrian connections among the uses and surrounding neighborhoods should be provided. This designation applies to the eastern end of Valley Boulevard and south of Garvey Avenue, just west of the eastern boundary, and portions of Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, and Hellman Avenue south of Interstate 10. and Rosemead Boulevard and Valley Boulevard north of Interstate 10, as shown on the Land Use Policy Map. Residential densities are limited to a maximum of 36 to 60 units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use and integrated mixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is 2:1. The typical population density is approximately 191 persons per acre. Mixed -Use Industrial/Commercial The Mixed -Use Industrial/Commercial category accommodates light industry, research and development, and office uses. The emphasis is on businesses that provide career -oriented and trade jobs. Commercial uses should be limited to those that support the primary industrial and office uses. Areas designated for Mixed -Use Industrial/Commercial are limited to properties along San Gabriel Boulevard south of Hellman Avenue to Park Street, along San Gabriel Avenue south of the SCE easement to Rush Street, and on Garvey Avenue from Walnut Grove to Muscatel Avenue (south side of Garvey Avenue) or City limit (north side of Garvey Avenue). The maximum FAR is 2.5:1. Site design shall take into consideration any adjacent residential neighborhoods with regard to parking lot entrances, location of parking and loading facilities, building massing, and lighting.

This Addendum addresses the potential environmental impacts associated with the adoption of the 1) Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, 2) Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, 3) General Plan Amendment 19-03, and 4) Zone Change 19-03, which will be considered by the City during the project’s review and approval process along with the prior CEQA documentation. 1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROCEDURES Pursuant to CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines, the City’s review of the Addendum focuses on the potential environmental impacts associated with the projectthat might cause a change in the conclusions of the certified GPU Final EIR, including changes incircumstances or new information of substantial importance that would substantially change thoseconclusions. Pursuant to CEQA Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, when anEnvironmental Impact Report (EIR) has been certified or a negative declaration (ND) adopted for a project, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or negative declaration shall be prepared for the project unless the leadagency determines that one or more of the following conditions are met: Substantial project changes are proposed that will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; Substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that require major revisions to the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or Introduction-1 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 New information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified or the negative declaration was adopted shows any of the following: A.The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration. B.Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severethan identified in the previous EIR. C.Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives. D.Mitigation measures or alternatives that are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the projectproponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives. If some changes or additions to the previously-prepared EIR are necessary, but none of the conditions specified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 are present, the lead agency shall prepare an addendum (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164\[a\]). In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, since none of the conditions specified in Section 15162 are present, the Cityhas determined that an Addendum to the GPU Final EIRis the appropriate form of environmental review for the project. This Addendum reviews the proposed changes of the projectand any changes to the existing conditions that have occurred since the certification of the GPU Final EIR. It also reviews new information of substantial importance related to environmental impacts, mitigation measures and/or alternatives that was not known and could not have been known with exercise of reasonable diligence at the time that the GPU Final EIR was certified. It further examines whether, as a result of any changes or any new information, a subsequent EIR or ND may be required. This examination includes an analysis of the provisions of CEQA Section 21166 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and their applicability to the proposed modifications. An Addendum is appropriate if the minor technical changes or modifications do not result in any new significant impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts. The Addendum is not required to be circulated for public review; however, an Addendum and the prior CEQA documentation are to be considered by the decision-making body prior to making a decision on the project.

Each element included topical issues, goals, policies, and implementation actions. On April 13, 2010, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2010-23 adopting General Plan Amendment GPA 09-01, which: 1) designated four key areas (nodes) for mixed-use development with limitations on both residential density and building heights, 2) created a new High Intensity Commercial land use designation over two commercial areas, 3) modified the Circulation Element to address the proposed land use changes, and 4) revised the Resource Management and Public Safety Element to comply with Assembly Bill 162. On February 13, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-05 approving General Plan Amendment GPA 14-01 in conjunction with the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan (Specific Plan 14- 01). GPA 14-01 included the addition of the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan (GASP) land use designation and a description of the specific plan to the Land Use Element, and the addition of the GASP to Land Use Element Figure 2-1, Land Use Policy Map. Following the General Plan Amendments noted above, the Land Use Element includes 13 land use designations intended to provide a rational and ordered approach to land use development, and the maintenance of public uses and public open spaces: Introduction - 3 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 LDR: Low Density Residential MDR: Medium Density Residential HDR: High Density Residential MRC: Mixed Use – Residential/Commercial MHRC: Mixed Use – High Density Residential/Commercial MIC: Mixed Use – Industrial/Commercial C: Commercial HIC: High Intensity Commercial OLI: Office/Light Industrial PF: Public Facilities OS: Open Space/Natural Resources CEM: Cemetery GASP: Garvey Avenue Specific Plan General Plan Vision With the GeneralPlan, the City seeks to: Enhance the commercial areas along key corridors, and most specifically Garvey Avenue and Valley Boulevard; Create an economically viable downtown that blends retail, office, and residential uses in a walkable, attractive setting; Enhance parks and recreational space in underserved neighborhoods; Accommodate the demand for quality mixed-use development that can contribute to commercial growth and enhance opportunities for higher-density residential development; Protect homeowner investments and the availability of well-maintained, relatively affordable housing units; Minimize the impact of traffic associated with growth within the San Gabriel Valley and broader region. Land Use Categories The LandUse Element designates five major categories of landuse: 1) residential, 2) commercial, 3) office/light industrial,4) mixed-use, and 5) public facilities. The residentialdesignation is further subdivided into three density ranges:Low, Medium, and High. To provide for a diversity of mixed-useapproaches, the MixedUse designation includes threesubcategories: Residential/Commercial, High DensityResidential/Commercial, and Industrial/Commercial. Introduction-4 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Residential Three land use categories are established to accommodate arange of housing types and densities. Preservation andenhancement of single-family residentialneighborhoods is akey goal. New development must be compatible with andcomplement established residential neighborhoods. Inresidential areas, in addition to the primary residential use,accessory structures, group homes, religious and charitableorganizations are permitted consistent with State law andzoning ordinance requirements. :The Low Density Residential (LDR) land usecategory is characterized by low-densityresidential neighborhoods consistingprimarily of detached single-family dwellings on individual lots. The minimum permitteddensity is 0 dwelling units per acre. Themaximum permitted density is 7.0 dwellingunits per acre. The typical population densityis approximately 28 persons per acre. : The Medium Density Residential (MDR) land use category allows for densities of up to 12 units per acre with a minimum of 0 dwelling units per acre. Housing types within this density range include single-family detached homes on smaller lots, duplexes, and attached units. The typical population density is approximately 34 persons per acre. : The High Density Residential (HDR) category accommodates many forms of attached housing – triplexes, fourplexes, apartments, and condominiums/townhouses – and small-lot or clustered detached units. The maximum permitted density is 30 units per acre with a minimum of 0 dwelling units per acre, and the typical population density is 79 persons per acre. Commercial Businesses in Rosemead’s commercial district provide important services to residents and contribute substantially to the City’s tax revenue base. The three Commercial categories are intended to support business activity and to provide incentives to property owners to improve areas that function below their economic potential. : The Commercial designation applies to retail and service commercial centers located along major arterials in the City: 1) Valley Boulevard west of Muscatel, 2) Valley Boulevard near and east of Rosemead Boulevard, 3) Garvey Avenue between New Avenue and Charlotte Avenue, 4) San Gabriel Boulevard between Park Street and Newark Avenue, 5) just west of the Walnut Grove and Garvey Avenue intersection, 6) along Rosemead Boulevard from Mission Drive to Valley Boulevard, and 7) Del Mar Avenue from the I-10 freeway interchange to Garvey Avenue. Permitted uses include a broad range of retail, office, and service uses that serve localand regional needs. Prohibited uses include warehousing, manufacturing, industrial uses, and similar uses. The maximum permitted FAR is 0.35:1. Overnight accommodations, such as hotels, may be developed up to maximum permitted FAR of 1.0:1 if their projectsinclude higher design standards, the “required hotel amenities” and a minimum of two “additional hotel amenities” as identified in General Plan Table 2-2. If a hotel Introduction-5 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 project does not meet the amenities in General Plan Table 2-2, they can only build up to 0.35:1 FAR. Development approaches for Commercial designations include multi-story structures with underground or structured parking. Where commercial development abuts residential neighborhoods, new projects must be designed with sensitivities to the residential uses in terms of massing, siting of parking and loading facilities, and lighting. : The High Intensity Commercial designation consists of approximately 19.2 acres within the following two project areas: 1 .Thisarea consists of 10 parcels of land totaling approximately 15.6 acres, located on the north sideGarvey Avenue between Del Mar Avenue and SanGabriel Avenue. This site is bounded by GarveyAvenue to the south, Strathmore Avenue to the west, single-family residential land uses to the north, and Paradise Trailer Park and Apartments to the east. . This area islocated on the southeast corner of Valley Boulevardand Walnut Grove Avenue, includes three parcelstotaling approximately 3.3 acres. Rubio Wash islocated just south of site and a combination ofcommercial and single-family residential land uses arelocated to the east. The High Intensity Commercial provides up to 270,000 squarefeet of commercial retail and restaurant-related uses. The planenvisions complimentary mix of land uses and building sizes as identified in General Plan Table 2-3 and Table 2-4. The minimum site area requirement within High IntensityCommercial Area 1 shall be 15 acres. The minimum site arearequirement within High Intensity Commercial Area 2 shall be3 acres. The mix of land uses and building sizes for each of theproject areas are outlined in General Plan Table 2-3 and Table 2-4. Office/Light Industrial The Office/Light Industrial (O/LI) designationapplies to properties generally located at thenorth and south edges of the City. This categoryprovides suitable locations for manufacturing, assembly, and limited food processing uses, aswell as office buildings and business parks.Zoning regulations specify the uses permittedand performance standards for industrial uses.The maximum permitted FAR is 0.5:1. Mixed-Use Rosemead has established three Mixed-Use categories toprovide options for innovative approaches to land use anddevelopment. These categories allow for a mix of land uses inthe same building, on the same parcel of land, or side by sidewithin the same area. Such complementary use stimulatesbusiness activity, encourages pedestrian patronage, andprovides 1 On February 13, 2018, the City approved the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan (GASP), which includes the entirety of properties designated within High Intensity Commercial Area 1area.Refer to GASP description later in this section under the heading Land Use Element Relationship to Garvey Avenue Specific Plan. Introduction-6 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 a broader range of options toproperty owners tofacilitate the preservation, re-use and redevelopment ofstructures. :Generally mixed-use development performs best when it is located near other mixed-use development. This configurationgives the residents more retail and office choices located anddesigned for pedestrian activity. Similarly,business may prefer to locate near each other togain the synergistic benefits of serving the sameclientele. As such, the mixed- use designationsare located in such a manner to maximize orcapitalize on that synergy. The Mixed-Use Residential/Commercialcategory allows vertically or horizontally mixed commercial, office, and residential uses, with anemphasis on retail uses along the ground floor. Pedestrian connections among the uses, and asshould be provided. The Mixed-Use designation will allow formixed-use and commercial infill development. Further, parcelsmay be assembled and consolidated to create larger, integrateddevelopment sites. All mixed-use projects are also subject toreview and compliance with the City’s adopted mixed-usedesign guidelines. This designation applies to areas of Rosemead with historicallyless intensive commercial and office development. The Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial category is located on Valley Boulevard between Muscatel Avenue and RosemeadBoulevard, andon Garvey Avenue between Charlotte Avenue and WalnutGrove Avenue. Residential densities are limited to a maximumof 25 to 30 units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use andintegrated mixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is1.6:1. The typical population density is approximately 119persons per acre. :Similar to the Mixed-Use Residential/Commercial category, theMixed-Use High Density Residential/Commercial categorypermits vertically or horizontally mixed-use commercial, office,and residential uses, but greater residential densities arepermitted and encouraged. Retail uses shall be emphasizedalong the ground floor of street frontages, and pedestrianconnections among the uses and surrounding neighborhoodsshould be provided. This designation applies to the eastern end of Valley Boulevardand south of Garvey Avenue, just west of theeastern boundary.Residential densities are limited to a maximum of 36 to 60units per acre. For stand-alone commercial use and integratedmixed-use projects, the maximum permitted FAR is 2:1. Thetypical population density is approximately 191 persons per acre. :The Mixed-Use Industrial/Commercial category accommodates light industry, research and development, and office uses. Theemphasis is on businesses that provide career-oriented andtrade jobs. Commercial uses shouldbe limited to those thatsupport the primary industrial and office uses. Areas designated for Mixed-Use Industrial/Commercial arelimited to properties along San Gabriel Boulevard south ofHellman Avenue to Park Street, along San Gabriel Boulevardsouth of the SCE easement to Rush Street, and on GarveyAvenue from Walnut Grove to Muscatel Avenue (south side ofGarvey Avenue) or City limit (north side of Garvey Avenue).The maximum FAR is 2.5:1. Site design shall take intoconsideration any adjacent residential neighborhoods withregard to parking lot entrances, location of parking and loadingfacilities, building massing, and lighting. Introduction-7 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Public Facilities The Public Facilities designation applies to those land uses thatare operated and maintained for public benefit. Public facilitiesinclude educational facilities, parks, utilities, and buildings orareas that support government activities. This land use categoryalso includes quasi-public uses such as private utilitieseasements, private schools, and institutional activities. Open Space :This category applies to public properties set aside for diverse recreational interests, including parks, baseball/soccer fields,and picnicking areas, as well as open lands required forresourceprotection. :This category applies to the Savannah Memorial Park Cemetery(aka El Monte Cemetery) property located along ValleyBoulevard. Permitted uses are limited to those ordinarily associated with a cemetery, as defined specifically in the zoningordinance. Land Use Element Relationship to Garvey Avenue Specific Plan The City adopted the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan in 2018. To create the Specific Plan vision, the Community Development Department embarked a meaningful community engagement process through community surveys, stakeholder interviews, and workshops. A five-person Ad Hoc Committee drawn from the City Council, Planning Commission, Traffic Commission, and Beautification Committee provided oversight of the project’s development. The outcome of the community engagement process created not only the vision, but also produced eight objectives. Specific Plan Objectives: 1.Create a neighborhood “main street” that will serve as a focal point for the neighborhoods surrounding Garvey Avenue. 2.Provide new opportunities for commercial and residential uses in mixed use settings. 3.Facilitate opportunities for catalytic developmentsthat provide desired retail, entertainment, and service businesses, employment opportunities, and support the local community. 4.Provide for the gradual phasing out of industrial uses that create conflicts with the surrounding neighborhoods. 5.Support design that contributes to enhancing the character of the City and Garvey Avenue in particular. 6.Create “place making” public plazas, gathering spaces,parks, and parklets that serve as focal points for the corridor. 7.Enrich the pedestrian and bicycle environment along Garvey Avenue through well- designed and appropriately scaled paths and pleasing streetscapes. 8.Encourage investment, maintenance, and pride in the Garvey Avenue Specific Plan area. Introduction-8 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The Specific Plan is the City’s first, and its requirements for adoption include updating the General Plan to eliminate inconsistencies between the two planning documents.

The GPU EIR analyzed the environmental impacts caused directly or indirectly by development of all of the uses contemplated within the General Plan Update, and identified mitigation measures for each potentially significant impact. On October 14, 2008, the City Council certified the Final Environmental Impact Report for the General Plan Update, adopted environmental findings pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for significant and unavoidable impacts, and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The GPU Final EIR was not challenged. Thus, per Public Resources Code Section 21167.2, the GPU Final EIRis conclusively presumed to comply with the provisions of CEQA and shall be valid for purposes of its use by responsible agencies and the City, unless the provisions of Public Resources Code Section 21166 are applicable. Initial Study/Notice of Preparation/Scoping Meeting An Initial Study was prepared and determined that a number of topical questions resulted in no impact or a less than significant impact, and as such were not analyzed further in the General Plan Update EIR. Topics with no impact or a less than significant impact include: Aesthetics Agriculture Biological Resources Cultural Resources Geology/Soils Hazards & Hazardous Materials Land Use Planning Mineral Resources The 30-day Notice of Preparation (NOP) comment period began on November 15, 2007and concluded on December 15, 2007.In addition, a scoping meeting for agency representatives and the public was held on November29, 2007 at the City of Rosemead. 2008 General Plan Update EIR Development Capacity GPU Draft EIR Table 3-1 and the table in the GPU Final EIR Errata are provided below. Introduction-11 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 GPU Draft EIR Table 3-1 indicates the “typical buildout” development and population estimates for the year 2025. The GPU Draft EIR compares the “typical buildout” under the General Plan with development that exists today in the City. Per the GPU Final EIR Errata, the adopted General Plan land use and population buildout statistics and land use map vary from those presented in the GPU DraftEIR and GPU Final EIR due to three causes: Edison right-of-way parcels’ designation is revised from public facilities to commercial as a result of a technical correction; Edison right-of-way parcels’ designation is revised from open space/natural resources to Public Facilities as a result of a technical correction; and Three Nevada Avenue parcels’ designation is revised from Mixed Use: High Density Residential to Low Density Residential as a result of Rosemead City Council direction. Introduction-12 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The anticipated environmental impacts as a result of these designation changes are negligible and do not substantively alter the environment impact analyses, their conclusions, nor their findings as discussed in the GPU Final EIR. Additional Growth Analyzed in GPUEIR The additional growth anticipated under the General Plan Update includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses. The GPU DraftEIR analyzed this aforementioned growth, which was not revised in the GPU Final EIR or subsequent GP EIR Addendums. A summary of the growth changes by land use is provided in , , was the basis for the environmental analysis in the GPU EIR.

Introduction-14 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Topics Analyzed inGPUEIR The GPU EIR analyzed the following topics: Aesthetics Air Quality Biological Resources Geology and Soils Hazards and Hazardous Materials Hydrology and Water Quality Land Use and Planning Noise Population and Housing Public Services Recreation Transportation and Traffic Utilities and Service Systems Mitigation Measures were provided for Population and Housing (PH-1 and PH-2), Recreation (R- 1 and R-2), and Utilities and Services: Solid Waste (UT-1, UT-2, UT-3, and UT-4). Significant Unavoidable Impacts The GPU EIR identified significant unavoidable impacts for the following topics: Air Quality, Population and Housing, Recreation, Transportation, and Utilities and Service Systems: Solid Waste, which are summarized below. The City Council adopted a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the significant unavoidable impacts (City Council Resolution No. 2008-66). Air Quality With implementation of the identified General Plan Update policies and implementation measures, short-term and long-termair quality impacts will be reduced. However, the degree to which these measures will reduce emissions cannot be fully quantified. Cumulatively, emissions of all pollutant levels will continue to exceed the SCAQMD threshold levels; although the cumulativeemissions of CO, VOG, and NOx are projected to decrease relative to current levels. Emissions of PM1 O and PM2.5 are projected to increase and continue to exceed the SCAQMD threshold criteria for significance. Emissions of SOx are also expected to increase, but not significantly. Commission of CO2 will also increase. Impacts associated with PM10 and PM2.5 emissions and cumulative impacts are significant and unavoidable. GHG emissions will be reduced over the life of the General Plan Update. Therefore, impacts related to GHG emissions will be less than significant. Impacts to sensitive receptors will be less than significant. Given the extent of this General Plan Update, impacts to air quality will be significant and unavoidable. Introduction-15 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Additional mitigation was considered to reduce impacts associated with emissions of particulate matter, however they have been found to be infeasible to implement at this time due to the broad scope of the General Plan Update. No mitigation has been included. Population and Housing The General Plan Updatehas the potential to result in a substantial population and housing unit increase in comparison to population and housing growth projections at the local, sub-regional, and regional levels. Mitigation Measures PH-1 and PH-2 in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan are included to assist with coordination with regional policy makers; however, the measures are not able to reduce the impacts to less than significant. Recreation Both the existing and proposed (2008) General Plans note that the National Parks and Recreation Association (NPRA) recommends 2.5 acres of parkland per person and that the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) recommends 4 acres per person. The City currently provides 0.75 acres per person and therefore has not yet met its goal of one acre per 1,000 people. The proposed General Plan update anticipates an increase in population and coupled with the lack of available land within the City, the issue of providing parkland will be exacerbated. In order to meet the goal of one acre of parkland per 1,000 residents, the City will need to acquire an additional 37.16 acres that can be used for public park and recreation purposes. The lack of sufficient parks and recreation opportunities could result in the accelerated deterioration of existing facilities due to potential overuse. Additionally, the lack of adequate, local recreational facilities increases reliance on the facilities of other jurisdictions that in turn could result in accelerated deterioration of those facilities as well. The lack of available park and recreation facilities, therefore, is considered a significant project-level and cumulative impact. Mitigation Measures R-1 and R-2 in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Plan are included to assist with coordination with regional policy makers; however, the measures are not able to reduce the impacts to less than significant. Transportation Implementation of the General Plan Updatemay result in a substantial increase in traffic in relation to the existing traffic load and an individual or cumulative level of service condition that exceeds standards established by the City. Regional traffic growth and increased development intensities within the City will result in increased through traffic volumes on Rosemead streets. While the Circulation Element includes policies and physical roadway and control improvements, that over time will improve service levels, the certainty and timing of such cannot be established. Accordingly, the traffic impacts of General Plan development will be significant and unavoidable. Introduction-16 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 While the General Plan Updatehas policies and programs that help minimize impacts, the following impacts remain: Walnut Grove Avenue at Mission Drive, (a.m. and p.m. peak hours) Walnut Grove Avenue at Marshall Street. (a.m. and p.m. peak hours) Rosemead Boulevard at Glendon Way (p.m. peak hour) Del Mar Avenue at Hellman Avenue (a.m. peak hour) New Avenue at Garvey Avenue (a.m. and p.m. peak hours) Del Mar Avenue at Garvey Avenue (p.m. peak hour) Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue (a.m. and p.m. peak hours) San Gabriel Boulevard at SR-60 westbound ramps (a.m. and p.m. peak hours) The construction of new facilities and the acquisition of land will take a concentrated effort by both city staff and local decision makers. In 2008, there wasno guarantee that new facilities will be built. No feasible additional measuresare available to further mitigate impacts at the analyzed intersections. Utilities and Service Systems: Solid Waste Solid waste disposal is an issue of regional concern. Many programs are in place at local and countywide levels to reduce waste generation and increase landfill capacity (at existing and proposed new sites). The Chiquita Canyon and Puente Hills Landfills are the end destination of the City of Rosemead's solid waste. Both of these landfills have enough capacity to accommodate the City's existing and future needs. However, Chiquita Canyon is scheduled, to close in 2019 and Puente Hills in 2013. After their closures, waste must be taken to alternative sites. Despite the continued efforts of the Los Angeles Area Integrated Waste Management Authority to increase its diversion rates, technologies are not currently available to completely recycle, destroy, or reuse all solid waste. Likewise, continued disposal of solid waste at landfills would contribute to the eventual closure of existinglandfills and any future landfill sites. Although the amount of solid waste originating from Rosemead is very small relative to the volumes accepted annually at each of the regional landfills, diminishing landfill space is a significant regional issue, and cumulative impacts are considered significant. 2010 Addendum to General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report The 2010 Addendum analyzed minor revisions to the following General Plan Elements: Introduction, Land Use, Circulation, Resource Management, and Public Safety. Revisions to the Land Use Element included the addition of the High Intensity Commercial (HIC) designation and inclusion of HIC in Figure 2-1, Land Use Policy Map, and Table 2-1, Land Use Categories and Buildout Potential. Introduction-17 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The Addendum reviewed all environmental topics analyzed in the 2008 General Plan EIR and concluded that all impacts would be less than, similar to, or no worse than the level of impacts identified in the 2008 General Plan EIR. The Addendum did note that revisions to land use designations and the Land Use Policy Map have the potential to reduce 2008 buildout estimates in General Plan Table 2-5, Land Use Estimates for General Plan Buildout, by 4,800 dwelling units, mostly through the reduction in allocations within the mixed-use category, and by 4,090,000 non- residential square feet. However, the Addendum did not modify the development capacity analyzed in the 2008 General Plan Update Draft EIR; refer to previous discussion under 2008 General Plan Update EIR Development Capacity. Introduction-18 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 2.0PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2.1PROJECT LOCATION REGIONAL LOCATION The City of Rosemead is located in the San Gabriel Valley in the eastern portion of Los Angeles County. Rosemead is adjacent to the cities of Monterey Park and San Gabriel to the west, El Monte to the east, South El Monte to the southeast, Temple City to the north, and Montebello to the south (refer to, ). Primary vehicle routes serving Rosemead include Interstate 10 Freeway (I-10), which bisects the City, and State Route 60 (SR-60), which runs along the southern City boundary. Major roadways serving the City include Rosemead Boulevard (State Highway 19), Garvey Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, and Valley Boulevard. PROJECT LOCATION The Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay (FCMU Overlay) is applicable to six separate geographic areasencompassing approximately 87 acreswithin the City of Rosemead (refer to , ). These areas were selected based on their proximity to I-10 Freeway, location along primary City corridors, and adjacency to public transit lines. For the purposes of contextually and sensitively responding to the unique characteristic of these six individual areas, different categorization areas have been established to inform development approaches. These categorization areas include Corridor, Intersection, and Block, described in more detail in Section 2.4.1. 2.2GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING DESIGNATIONS GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATIONS FCMU-Corridor There are three sites within the proposed FCMU-Corridor (FCMU-C) Overlay zonearea. The existing General Plan designations include Medium Density Residential, Mixed-Use: High Density Residential/Commercial, Mixed-Use: High Density Industrial/Commercial, Commercial, and Public Facilities. FCMU-Block There are three sites within the proposed FCMU-Block (FCMU-B) Overlay zonearea. The existing General Plan designations includeCommercialand Mixed-Use High Density Residential Commercial.

These areas have the potential to create attractive gateways into the City, while also contributing to a more cohesive community aesthetic and development pattern for a more livable Rosemead. The FCMU Overlay establishes land use and urban design direction that will attract private investment to promote contextually appropriate mixed-use and residential development in targeted areas of the City. The FCMU Overlay also identifies public and private realm improvements that will further enhance the aesthetic and character of these areas. VISION AND OBJECTIVES Following are the vision and objectives established for new development and public realm improvements for specific areas of Del Mar Avenue, San Gabriel Boulevard, Walnut Grove Avenue, Rosemead Boulevard, Valley Boulevard, and Temple City Boulevard. The vision for the FCMU Overlay is described as follows: ” Project Description-20 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Key objectives of the FCMU Overlay are to: Provide attractive gateway developments at key locations along Interstate 10 Freeway. Create opportunities for new mixed-use and standalone housing types and options at varying income levels. Encourage mixed-use commercial and residential developments that will serve as catalysts for new economic activity with services and employment that support the local community. Establish development and design standards that contribute to community character and quality buildingdesigns. Enhance the public realm to provide an improved pedestrian environment and foster a greater sense of place. Promote reinvestment and redevelopment in the identified areas of the community. 2.4 PROJECTCOMPONENTS The project includes the following components: 1) Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, 2) Municipal Code Amendment 19-02, 3) General Plan Amendment 19-03, and 4) Zone Change 19- 03. 2.4.1FREEWAY CORRIDOR MIXED-USEOVERLAY The Freeway Corridor Mixed-UseOverlay document includes the following chaptersand appendices: Chapter 1 – Introduction Chapter 2 – Land Use, Development Standards, and Allowable Uses Chapter 3 – Urban Design Chapter 4 – Infrastructureand Public Utilities and Services Chapter 5 – Administration and Implementation Appendices 1.General Plan Text Modifications 2.Revised City General Plan Land Use Map with Mixed-Use Designations 3.Zoning Code Text Modifications 4.Revised City Zoning Map with addition of FCMU Overlay Project Description-21 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 CATEGORIZATION AREAS For the purposes of contextually and sensitively responding to the unique characteristic of the six individual areas, different categorization areas have been established to inform development approaches.

The primary scenic vistas in Rosemead are of the San Gabriel Mountains in the distance to the north and of the WhittierNarrows Golf Course and the La Puente Hills to the south. These vistas are not singularly spectacular, but they are a part of the Rosemead visual experience in a number of areas. The General Plan Update allows for mixed-usedevelopment with increased residential densities along the City’s major corridors, particularly along Garvey Avenue and Valley Boulevard, where the 1987 General Plan allows for commercial development with some light-industrial/commercial mixed-useat a maximum Floor Area Ratio of 1:1. In practice, such an FAR means a likely building height of four to five stories. The General Plan Update allows for mixed-usedevelopment at a maximum of 45 dwelling units per acre, which in practice generally results in at least a four-story building. Therefore, the built environment under either scenario, the 1987 General Plan or the General Plan Update, would ultimately result in 4- to 5-story buildings, whichcould result in buildings substantially taller (2 to 3 stories taller) than what is built today. However, recently approved developments and buildings currently under construction are similarly taller than their surroundings. Thereby, the character of the corridors is currently in transition from one- two-storyto four or more stories. In addition, views of the San Gabriel Mountains from properties located adjacent to or nearby the major arterials (the primary locations of taller dwellings) may be blocked or altered. The GPU EIR concluded impacts to be less than significant. There are no state scenic highways in Rosemead. The GPU EIR concluded no impact. r The mixed-usebuildings under the General Plan Update have the potential to be taller than the existing buildings along the major arterials. However, the General Plan Update would not allow building envelopes that are significantly different from what is currentlyallowed under the 1987General Plan. While there will be a character change, development always has the possibility of degrading as well as enhancing the visual character of a city. The Environmental Analysis-31 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 General Plan Update puts forth policiesthat ensure the visual character quality of each project meets the standards of the community. The GPU EIR concluded impacts to be less than significant. There is the potential for light and glare from taller mixed-useand commercialbuildings to occur on properties immediately adjacent to the major arterials. While there is thepotential, the General Plan Update also includes policies and actions that will minimize the light and glare intrusion. Furthermore, under the 1987, the potential for light and glare impactsfrom taller buildings are similar that of the General PlanUpdate. However, the 1987GeneralPlan does not contain the policies and actions that mitigate some of the impacts on the surroundingland uses. The greater densities and intensities allowed by the General Plan Update will likely not increase the size of the buildings allowed by the 1987 General Plan. The GPU EIR concluded impacts to be less than significant with implementation of General Plan Update policies and actions. Impact Analysis The General Plan Update allows for mixed-usedevelopment with increased residential densities along the City’s major corridors, with building heights of four to five stories.The project would not change the location wherefuture development would occur, nor would it increasethe amount of future development anticipated to occur asanalyzed in the GPU EIR. The proposed FCMU Overlaywould allow mixed-use developmentsbyright in urbanized areas of the Citywhereresidential, commercial, and mixed-usedevelopment has been planned.Therefore, future development associated with implementation of the project could affect scenic vistas in the City. However, impacts would be similar to that envisioned under the General Plan Updateand analyzed in the GPU EIR. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements, and General Plan Land Use Element Policies 1.7, 1.8, 2.6, andActions 1.3 - 1.7, 3.2, 3.7, 3.8, 5.1 - 5.2; and Resources Management Element Policies 1.2 - 1.5 and 2.1 - 2.7, and Actions 2.1 - 2.4. These policies, actions, and regulations ensure that scenic vista impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-32 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 There are no state-designated scenic highways located within the City planning area. Therefore,futuredevelopment associated with implementation of the project wouldnot impact any state-designated scenic highway. Impacts remain as no impact. NoNewImpact.Thechangesassociatedwiththeprojectwouldnotresultin anynewimpactsnorincreasetheseverityofimpactsinthisregard. The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, including within the proposed FCMU Overlay areas. The General Plan Update Land Use Plan assumes that existing land use development patterns would be the basis for future development, with an incremental intensification of existing and new land uses, where future development would be scaled to complement adjoining uses.Thus, the General Plan Update envisioned that future mixed-use developments would be taller than existing buildings within mixed-use areas and along major arterials; however, the building envelopes for these developments would not be significantly different than currently permittedby the City. TheproposedFCMU Overlaywouldallow mixed-use developmentsbyright in urbanized areas of the Citywhereresidential, commercial, and mixed-usedevelopmenthas been planned.Future development associated with implementation of the project would be similar would be consistent with the City’s to that envisioned under the General Plan Updateand urban/suburban visual character. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with General Plan Land Use Element Policies 1.7, 1.8, 2.6, and Actions 1.3 - 1.7, 3.2, 3.7, 3.8, 5.1 - 5.2; and Resources Management Element Policies 1.2 - 1.5 and 2.1 - 2.7, and Actions 2.1 - 2.4to ensure quality development that is consistent with the visual character of the City. Compliance with these General Planpolicies and actions preservesand/or enhancesaesthetic resourcesthroughout the City.In addition, future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements. These policies, actions, and regulations ensure that the City’s visual character is not degraded and that impacts remain at less than significant. NoNewImpact.Thechangesassociatedwiththeprojectwouldnotresultin anynewimpactsnorincreasetheseverityofimpactsinthisregard. Environmental Analysis-33 -July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 As noted previously under Degradation of Visual Character, the General Plan Update assumes that existing land use development patterns would be the basis for future development, with an incremental intensification of existing and new land uses, where future development would be scaled to complement adjoining uses. Future development associated with implementation of the project is anticipated to occur wheredevelopment already occurs and where existinglighting is typical of urban uses. Individual projectswould be required to comply with applicable FMCUOverlayandMunicipal Code requirementsaddressing spillover light and glare. Future development associated with implementation of the project has the potential to create daytime glare impacts if highly reflective building materials are installed, as well as nighttime lighting impacts from lighted signs, nighttime security lighting, streetlights, and vehicle headlights.Thus, future development associated with implementation of the project would be to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements. These regulationsensure light and glare impacts on daytime and nighttime views remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-34 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.2AIR QUALITY Prior Environmental Findings New development associated with implementation of the General Plan Update resultsin pollutant emissions within an air basin that is currently identified as a Federal and State non-attainment area. While pollutant loads are anticipated to decrease over time due to improvements in vehicle emission systems and other technologies (with the exception of respirable particular matter emissions), cumulative emissions will exceed daily thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). Policies contained within the General Plan Update reduce air quality impacts,but no other mitigation measures werefeasible. Cumulatively, emissions of all pollutant levels will continue to exceed the SCAQMD threshold levels, although the cumulative emissions of Carbon Monoxide (CO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Nitrous Oxide (NOx) are projected to decrease relative to current 10) and Fine Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) levels. Emissions of Suspended Particulate Matter (PM are projected to increase and continue to exceed the SCAQMD threshold criteria for significance. Emissions of Oxides of Sulfur (SO x) are also expected to increase, but not significantly. Emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) will also increase. Impacts associated with PM 10 and PM 2.5 emissions and cumulative impacts are significant and unavoidable.Thus, the GPU EIR concludedproject and cumulative impacts will be significant and unavoidable, despite the imposition of General Plan Update Land Use Element Actions 1.8 and 5.4 – 5.28; Circulation Element Actions 2.7 – 2.12; and Resources Management Element Policies 4.4 – 4.6, and Actions 3.5, 3.6, and 4.8 – 4.16, which will have a qualitative and quantitative effect in reducing emissions of criteria pollutants. The GPU EIR concluded thatcompliance with air quality standards and cumulative air quality impacts are significant and unavoidable despite the imposition of General Plan Update policies and actions. With implementation of the General Plan Update, emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions are expected to increase as a result of the increased land uses proposed and a corresponding increase in the number of daily trips and vehicle miles traveled. Emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and methane (CH 4), however, are expected to decrease as a result of the implementation of more stringent vehicle emissions regulation by 2025. A comparison of CO 2 equivalent greenhouse gases between existing conditions and those under the General Plan Update reveals that implementation of the plan will result in a net increase of approximately 612,200 metric tons per year of CO 2 equivalent greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gas emissions estimates are summarized in GPU EIR Table 4-11, Total Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions,Metric Tons per Year (mtpy) Environmental Analysis-35 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Utilizing the GHG reductions from California Air Pollution Control Officers Association (CAPCOA), an estimate of the amount of GHG emissions reduction based on the design features of the General Plan Update was calculated and summarized in GPU EIR Table 4- 12, GHG Emissions Reducing Design Features. GPU EIR Table 4-13 shows the estimated GHG reductions by land use. GPU Update Table 4-12 and Table 4-13 indicate that the General Plan Update is not anticipated to increase GHG emissions, and therefore, impacts associated with increases in GHG emissions will be less than significant. The GPU EIR concluded greenhouse gas emission impacts to be less than significant. The General Plan Update has the potential to place sensitive receptors near freeways and heavily traveled roadways. The density of some residential land use designations near the I-10Freeway will increase as a result of the General Plan Update. Additionally, some commercial designations will be converted to mixed-usedesignations near I-10; permitting additional residential units where they would not have been permitted before.The General Plan Update includes actions calling for the City to consult with the South Coast AirQuality Management District when siting sensitive receptor uses near sources of air pollution Compliance with these actions reduces the impacts to sensitive uses near freeways and other high volume roadways to less than significant. The GPU EIR concludedimpacts to sensitive receptors to be less than significant. Impact Analysis The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, including within the proposed FCMU Overlayareas. Development associated with implementation of the General Plan Update, which assumed growth Citywide, would generate construction and operation emissions that exceed the thresholds of significance recommended by the SCAQMD for CO, VOC, NO X, SO X, PM 10, and PM 2.5. Because the Basin is in nonattainment for PM2.5, PM10 and ozone, and because both VOC and NOX are precursors of ozone, for which the Basin is also in nonattainment, the General Plan Update would result in a cumulatively considerable contribution to these emissions. No new sources of air pollutant emissions would result from future development associated with implementation of the project; therefore, potential impacts would be no worse and no additional control measures would be warranted beyond thanthose identified in the General Plan Update. Total traffic generated and vehicular emission for the project would be similar to that estimated for the General Plan Update. Thus, air quality impacts would be similar to the impacts identified in the GPU EIR. Environmental Analysis-36 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with General Plan Land Use Element Actions 1.8 and 5.4 – 5.28; Circulation Element Actions 2.7 – 2.12; and Resources Management Element Policies 4.1 – 4.4, and Actions 3.5, 3.6,4.1, 4.7, and 4.13, development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements, and existing Federal and State laws and regulations. The previously noted policiesand actions, regulations, and laws ensure project impacts are reduced to the maximum extent feasible, and that impacts remain as significant and unavoidable. Thus, the cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant resulting fromfuture development associated with implementation of the project would not exceed any air emission impacts previously identified in the GPUEIR. Therefore, future development associated with implementation of the project would not result in new or more severe air quality standards compliance or cumulative impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR; impacts remain significant and unavoidable. NoNew Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Construction activities produce combustion emissions from various sources such as site grading, utility engines, on-site heavy-duty construction vehicles, equipment hauling materials to and from the site, asphalt paving, and motor vehicles transporting the construction crew. Operational activities in the City produce emissions from a varietyof sources including residential energy, non-residential energy, transportation, water, and wastewater. The City seeks to reduce GHG emissions and other environmental impacts of existing and future land use development by increasing the viability of alternative transportation methods, supporting the use of alternative fuels and fuel-efficient vehicles, promoting renewable energy, supporting energy and water efficiency and conservation, and reducing waste generation. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to utilize all applicable emission reducing design features, including, but not limited to, those referenced in GPU EIR Table 4-12, as well as to comply with all Federal, State, and City regulations to ensure that impacts related to greenhouse gas emissions remain at or below the levels previously identified in the GPU EIR;impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-37 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Future development associated with implementation of the General Plan Update, which assumed growth Citywide, would potentially expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations. Future development associated with implementation of the project, including sites in close proximity to I-10 orSR-60would be required to comply with the most 2 current California Building Standards Code ASHRAEStandard 52.2 Minimum Efficiency Rating Value (MERV). MERV standard compliance includes both the installation and maintenance of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systemsand air filters. Thus, theseimpacts would be similar to the impacts identified in the GPU EIR. In addition, future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with applicable General Plan Land Use Element Actions 1.8 and 5.4 – 5.28; Circulation Element Actions 2.7 – 2.12; and Resources Management Element Policies 4.1 – 4.4 , and Actions 3.5, 3.6, 4.1, 4.17, and 4.13, development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements, and existing Federal and State laws and regulations. Thus, the exposure of sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations due to future development associated with implementation of the project would not exceed any air emission impacts previously identified in the GPU EIR;impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. 2 ASHRAE is the American Society of Heating, Refrigerator, and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Environmental Analysis-38 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.3BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES Prior Environmental Findings The City issubstantially built out and contains littlenatural habitat. Subsequent environmental analysis will beconducted on a project level, if needed. The City of Rosemead is substantially built out. What open space exists in the City consists ofmanaged parks and scattered, small, disturbed vacant lots. Little habitat exists for any special statusspecies to thrive in the City. The GPU EIR identified three potential species withCritical Habitat: 1) coastal California gnatcatcher, 2) least Bell’s vireo, and 3) southwestern willowflycatcher. The GPU EIR concluded there was no critical habitat for the three species, and as such, no impacts. The GPU EIR identified two “Candidate” species for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA): 1) western yellow-billed cuckoo and 2) Brand’s star phacelia. The western yellow- billed cuckoo is also listed as“Endangered” under the California Endangered Species Act (CESA). The GPU EIR concluded their neither species would be impacted, as riparian woodland habitat is not prevalent in the City for western yellow-billed cuckoonor is sandy habitat present in the City for Brand’s star phacelia; thus, no impacts. The GPU EIR identified four faunal species: 1) pallid bat, 2) San Diego coast horned lizard, 3) southwesternpond turtle, and 4) western mastiff bat. In 2008, none of these species had been officially listed by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), now referred to as the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), or the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). However, these species werelisted asSpecies of Special Concern by the CDFW. The GPU EIR concluded no impacts for theSan Diego coast horned lizardandsouthwestern pond turtle, as there is no habitat in the City for the lizard nor is there suitable habitat in the Alhambra Wash, Rubio Wash, or the Rio Hondo River for the turtle. The GPU EIR concluded less than significant impacts for the pallid bat and western mastiff bat. The pallid bat is common throughout the western United States and northern Mexico, while the western mastiff bat is not likely to occur within the City.Future development associated with implementation of the General Plan Update could increase the potential for both bats to roost in buildings within the City, but less than significant impacts to the bats would occur. The GPU EIR concluded no impacts for four floral species: 1) mesa horkelia, 2) Orcutt’s linanthus, 3) Parish’s gooseberry, and 4) southern mountains skullcap. None of these species havebeen listed under the ESA or CESA.The City does not contain the appropriate habitat to support mesa horkelia; suitable habit for Orcutt’s linanthus; suitableriparian habitat for Environmental Analysis-39 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Parish’s gooseberry, which is presumedto be extinct; or the lack of suitable habitat for southern mountains skullcap. The City is substantially built out and contains little natural habitat. Riparian habitat is limited due tothe channelization of local streams. The City contains no wetlands as defined by the Clean WaterAct. There are no wildlife corridors in the City due to urbanization. Streams that run through the Cityare not utilized as migratory routes by fish. The City does not contain any wildlife nursery sites. Thelimited riparian habitat may have some minor impacts; however, any impacts will be less than significant. The City has an adopted oak tree preservationordinance.This ordinance sets provisions to create favorable conditions for the preservation and propagation ofoak trees due to their historical, aesthetic, and ecological benefits. The General Plan Update doesnot include any goals, policies, or implementation measures that will conflict with the implementationof this ordinance. The City is not located within the boundaries of a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) or National Community Conservation Plan (NCCP). The City is not located within theboundaries of any additional local or regional conservation plans. No impact will occur. Impact Analysis Due to the highly disturbed and/or urbanized nature of the City, there is little to no potential to support “special status”species identified by the EndangeredSpecies Act. The Cityhas an adopted oak tree preservationordinance that sets provisions to createfavorable conditions for the preservationand propagation of oak trees due to their historical, aesthetic, and ecologicalbenefits. Future development associated with implementation of the project would result in no impacts to “special status” species and less than significant impacts relative to compliance with the oak tree preservation ordinance, as applicable. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-40 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.4GEOLOGY AND SOILS Prior Environmental Findings Rosemead is located in a seismically active area. Adoption of the General Plan Update and any subsequentimplementing ordinances, practices, or programs will not directly result in any development activity.However, the General Plan Update Land Use Elementestablishes land use policies that will allow for new development,some of which may occur in areas subject to seismic and geologic hazards. Several regional and local faults have the potential to create seismic events that could cause substantial groundshaking in Rosemead. The effect of an earthquake originating on any given faultdepends primarily on its distance from the City and the magnitude of the earthquake. Groundshakingis expected to be similar throughout the Planning Area and is not considered an unusual or uniquerisk. Per City and State building codes, (the City has adopted the California Building Code asamended by the Los Angeles Building Code) all new development will be required to incorporateappropriate design and construction measures to guard against groundshaking hazards. Compliancewith these existing seismic safety building standards will reduce potential groundshaking hazards toless than significant. The Alhambra Wash Fault, the active fault located within the City boundaries that has the potential forsurface rupture, is shown in GPU EIR Figure 4-4. This fault is recognized by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone (APEFZ) Act as "sufficientlyactive" and "well defined." Therefore, the City, before issuing building permits for a project (generallyall land divisions and most structures for human occupancy), is responsible for ensuring that a geologic investigation is performed to demonstrate that proposed buildings will not be constructed across active faults. The fault evaluation and written report for the specific site must be prepared by ageologist registered in the State of California. If an active fault is found, a structure for humanoccupancy cannot be placed over the trace of the fault and must be set back from the fault (generally,at least 50 feet). In addition to the Alhambra Wash Fault, California Geological Survey studies and studies performedby J.A. Treiman have indicated the possibility that the City is crossed by other active or potentiallyactive faults that could pose earthquake and fault rupture hazards to the City. As such, the GeneralPlan Update designates 200-foot wide fault hazard management zones (FHMZs) in these areas wherestudies have found the potential for faults. Within the fault hazard evaluation zones, the General PlanUpdate indicates that new or significantly modified “important” facilities, which include hospitals and nursinghomes, public facilities, schools, and places of worship, must conduct special investigation on a case- by-case basis for potential seismic and geologic hazards. The GPU EIR concluded less than significant impacts due to compliance with the GPU Public Safety Element goal, policies, and actions listed in GPU EIR Section 4.4, Geology and Soils. Environmental Analysis-41 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Impact Analysis The entire region of Southern California is susceptible to primary and secondary seismic impacts and effects. Several regional and local faults have thepotential to create seismic events thatcould cause substantial groundshaking inRosemead. The City requires geologicaland geotechnical investigations of all newdevelopment in seismic and geologic hazard areas. Surface fault rupture is a serious threat to structures and infrastructure that span active faults and to people residing and working in those areas. The City contains one active fault, the Alhambra Wash Fault, which is recognized as an active fault under the Alquist-Priolo Act. Other active faults exist within the region, but they are not located within the City, so those faults do not pose surface fault rupture risk. In addition, strong seismic ground shaking can be expected in the City, including for future development associated with implementation of the project. The intensity of the ground shaking would depend on the magnitude of the earthquake, the distance to the epicenter, and the geology of the area between the epicenter and a specific area within the City. Also, ground shaking from earthquake fault movement can cause landslides and liquefaction events. Factors contributing to landslide potential are steep topography, unstable terrain, and proximity to earthquake faults, all of which exist within the City. Future development associated with implementation of the project is subject to all regulations and seismic standards set forth by the City of Rosemead, Uniform Building Code, California Building Code, and current seismic design specifications of the Structural Engineers Association of California, which reduce potential impacts to less than significant levels. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with General Plan Public Safety Element Goal 1, Policies 1.1 and 1.2, and Actions 1.1, 1.9, 1.10, 1.12, 1.14 -1.23, and 1.27, as well as applicable development standards and Municipal Code, Uniform Building Code, California Building Code, or seismic design specification requirementsto ensure geology and soils impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the projectwould not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-42 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.5HAZARDS AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Prior Environmental Findings The General Plan Update representsRosemead’s commitment to reducing therisk from natural hazards and serves as aguide for the use of available Cityresources. The General Plan Update also helps the Stateprovide technical assistance and prioritizeproject funding. The GPU EIR concluded hazards and hazardous materials impacts to be less than significant. The GPU EIR concluded hazards and hazardous materials impacts to be less than significant with the implementation of GPU policies. Hazardous materials are routinely used and transported throughout Rosemead on the freeways andlocal streets and via rail. Current and future residents will continue to be exposed to hazards from theroutine use, disposal, and transport of hazardous materials. In addition, future development mayproduce hazardous materials and waste. However, all such activity is and will be required to complywith the numerous local, State, and Federal regulations developed to safeguard the public against thehazards associated with such activity within urban environments. In addition, land use and zoningregulations will prohibit the establishment of any significant user or generator of hazardous materials. Continued application and enforcement of local, State and Federal regulations will reduce the impactto a less than significant level.According to the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, no sites or businesses inRosemead are included on the list of sites requiring extensive investigation or clean-up activities dueto the presence of hazardous materials. In the course of General Plan implementation, if anydevelopment project occurs on a site determined at some future time to be contaminated, suchproject will involve appropriate remediation activity consistent with applicable State and Federalregulations. Impacts would, therefore, be less than significant. The General Plan Update contains policies and actions to ensure that all hazardous producers areknown to the appropriate agencies, that hazardous material are transported on designated truckroutes and that new, potentially hazard-producing uses, are not located next to residences. The GPU EIR concluded less than significant impacts with the implementation of GPU policies. No airport land use plan applies to any properties within the City Planning Area. The nearest airport is El Monte Airport(now referred to as San Gabriel Valley Airport), located directly east of Rosemead. However, no portion of the City is within the Airport’s Influence Area, as indicated in the latest Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan. Environmental Analysis-43 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The GPU EIR concluded no impacts. The General Plan Update includes goals and policies in the Public Safety Element to address emergencyresponse and to provide continued high service levels. Each major new development, as is currentlythe case, will be reviewed by Fire and Police officials to ensure that adequate fire and other safetyprotections are put into place. As the local population grows and the business base expands, Policeand Fireofficials will periodically evaluate response times and shift or increase resources, as needed,to maintain desired levels of service and response times. The General Plan Update contains policies and actions to 1) ensure water flow for firefighting, 2) make sure thatstreet signage is visible so as not to delay emergency personnel, 3) make sure that buildings meet fireprotection codes, and 4) to consider the development of an emergency evacuation and shelter plan. The GPU EIR concluded less than significant impacts with the implementation of GPU policies. Rosemead is a suburban city that has very little vacant land. Furthermore, Rosemead is about seven miles from the San Gabriel Mountain foothills and nearly two miles from the La Puente Hills. As a result, the potential for wildland fires typically associated with foothill/mountain terrain and open land is extremely low. The GPU EIR concluded impacts to be less than significant. Impact Analysis Future development associated with implementation of the projecthas the potential to result in the transportation of hazardous material waste, which could cause spills and accidents along transportation routes. In addition,future development could expose the public or the environment to hazardous materials due to the improper handling or use of hazardous materials or hazardous wastes particularly by untrained personnel; transportation accident; environmentally unsound disposal methods; or fire, explosion or other emergencies. The severity of potential effects varies with the activity conducted, the concentration of and type of hazardous material or wastes present, and the proximity of sensitive receptors. Future developmentassociated with implementation of the project would result in infill development and redevelopment of existing properties. Existing structures may be demolished prior to new construction or redevelopment of individual sites. There is the potential for release of hazardous materials during both construction and operation of new Environmental Analysis-44 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 development within these areas; however, substantial quantities of hazardous materials are not anticipated. Future development associated with implementation of the project would berequired to comply with General Plan Public Safety Element Policies 2.1 – 2.4 and Actions 2.3 – 2.5, as well as applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements. These policies, actions, regulations, and laws ensure impacts regarding the potential hazard to the public or the environment concerning the routine transport, use, storage, or disposal of hazardous materials, or the potential release of hazard materials remain at less than significant. NoNew Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be reviewed by applicable City departments, as well as the Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff’s Departmentsand other applicable State and Federal agencies. The review by various departments and agencies would require future development associated with implementation of the project to comply with Federal, State, and local laws and regulations, and General Plan Update Public Safety Element Policies 3.1 – 3.6 and Actions 3.1 and 3.2, thus ensuring that impacts to the public and environment due to interference with emergency response or evacuation plans remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. The City is fully urbanized and does not face risks due to wildfire. However, urban fires are the primary fire hazard in the City. Future developmentassociated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with applicable development standards, Municipal Code requirements, and Federal and State laws and regulations. These lawsand regulations ensure that impacts to the public and environment related to urban fire remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-45 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 This page intentionally left blank. Environmental Analysis-46 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.6HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY Prior Environmental Findings Six companies providewater to the City of Rosemead. Each ofthese companies derives at least a portionof their supplies from local groundwaterresources. Due to increased security sensitivities following the September 11,2001 terrorist attack, well locations are nolonger included in public documents. It istherefore unknown if there are any wellsites within the City. Intensification of landuses citywide pursuant to General Planpolicy and Zoning Code regulations could result in increased demand on groundwater resources. Existing water management policies for the Main San Gabriel Basin, however, ensure that providers drawing upon the basin do not cumulatively remove more than the Operating Safe Yield, as determined yearly, without replenishing the groundwater supply with imported recharge water. The GPU EIR concluded no impact on groundwater supply. All new development willbe required to comply with existing waterquality standards and waste dischargeregulations set forth by the Regional WaterQuality Control Board, Los Angeles region. Each individual development project willbe required to comply with National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements related to construction and operation measures to prevent erosion, siltation, and transport of non-point source urban pollutants. Likewise, no project that includes apoint source pollutant will be permitted under current regulations. The GPU EIR concluded compliance with existing regulations will ensure a less than significant impact with regard to water quality standards or waste discharge requirements. The Rio Hondo River flows along the eastern edge of Rosemead in a concrete-lined channel. Development in the City will not alter the course of this river. Rosemead is largely built out, with an extensive amount of impervious surface coverage in the form of streets, parking lots, and rooftops. The City will require new development projects to comply with NPDES regulations of the Regional Water Quality Control Board, which aims to reduce pollutant volumes in urban runoff. Approaches mayinclude providing on-site retention basins or open space features that have the ability to filter runoff. Other options include subsurface retention and filtration systems, which are often more practical for infill development. Environmental Analysis-47 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The GPU EIR concluded that with best management practices continuing in place, drainage impacts are less than significant. The main flood hazard Rosemead faces is flood hazard associated with dam reservoir and dam flood inundation. Portions of the City lie within the Garvey Reservoir, Santa Fe Dam, and Whittier Narrows flood inundation areas. New development associated with the General Plan Update could expose people or structures to inundations from a dam or reservoir. The General Plan Update includes policies and actions to address flooding and inundation hazards in Rosemead. The GPU EIR concluded that the General Plan policies and actions reduce the level of significance to less than significant. Rosemead is not exposed to tsunami hazards due to its inland location. In addition, no large water bodies exist in the City that would present seiche hazards. The potential for mudflows is unlikely, given the City’s distance from hillside and mountainous terrain. The GPU EIR concluded no impacts for tsunami or seiche, and less than significant impacts for mudflow. Impact Analysis Future development associated with implementation of the project would not substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with groundwater recharge, as all future development would be required to comply with the applicable groundwater management plan. To the extent that the project would result inadditional development, it is anticipated that suchdevelopment would be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase developmentbeyond thatevaluated in the GPU EIR. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements, existing Federal and State laws and regulations, General Plan Resources Management Element Policies 3.1 - 3.3 and Actions 3.2 – 3.4. These policies, actions,laws, and regulations ensure that impacts to groundwater supplier or groundwater discharge remain at no impact. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-48 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Future development associated with implementation of the projecthas the potential to degrade water quality and result in exceedances in water quality and waste discharge standards. In accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 13.16, the City of Rosemeadrequires applicants for new development and significant redevelopment projects and priority projects to prepare a Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP) in accordance with all currently adopted permits. The WQMP is required to identify site-specific design and source control BMPs using Low Impact Development (LID) principles such as infiltration, harvest and reuse, evapotranspiration, and biotreatment. The LID BMPs are required to be designed to reduce runoff to a level consistent with the maximum extent practicable in accordance with the Municipal NPDES Permit. Non-priority development projects are required to document, via a WQMP or similar mechanism, site design, source control, and any other BMPS to meet the minimum requirements of the Municipal NPDES Permit. Implementation of existing regulatory requirements ensure that erosion and siltation from individual construction sites are minimized and that any violation of waste discharge requirements, violation of water quality standards, and contributions of additional sources of polluted runoff during construction would be less than significant. Despite the additional inputs to the stormwater system with the projected increases to population and urban development resulting from implementation of the project, adherence to the current regulatory framework, would ensure that potential impacts to water quality remain at less than significant. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements, existing Federal and State laws and regulations. These laws, and regulations ensure that impacts to water quality remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the project would increase drainage and water runoff and would be required to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code requirements, and NPDES regulations of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Compliance with these requirements and regulations ensure that drainage impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-49 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Portions of the City lie within the Garvey Reservoir, Santa Fe Dam, and Whittier Narrows flood inundation areas. It is unlikely that the FCMU Overlayareas would experience flooding from a dam failure. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould be required to comply with applicable development standards and Municipal Code Chapter 13.17, Floodplain Management requirements, existing Federal and State laws and regulations, and GeneralPlan Update Public Safety Element Policy 1.3 and Actions 1.8, 1.24, 1.25, and 1.26. These policiesand actions, laws, and regulations ensure future development design and construction impacts relative to the location of structures in flood-prone areas remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the project would notexperience impacts from a tsunami as these areas are outside of the coastal zone, seiche hazards as no large water bodies exist in the City, or mudflows given the City’s distance from hillside and mountainous terrain. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-50 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.7LAND USE AND PLANNING Prior Environmental Findings Rosemead is a built out communityand very little land is vacant. Most new development will occur as infill on the few vacant parcels or will occur asredevelopment or recycling of existing uses. For the most part, the General Plan Update land use designationsmirror what is on the ground today or what is planned for in the 1987 General Plan. However,along Valley Boulevard, Garvey Avenue, and Rosemead Boulevard, the proposed land usedesignations will change from commercial to mixed-use. Ifdevelopment occurs as planned in the General PlanUpdate, 70percentof the community will beresidential supported by commercial, office/light industrial, and other usesas shown in GPU EIR Table 4-22, Proposed General Plan Land Use Designations. In addition, residential uses will be introduced into current commercial corridors. The residential uses will typically occur within mixed-usedevelopments. Thus, the fundamental function of the City will not change as a result of the GeneralPlan Update, as the plan aims for a coordinated, logical distribution of land uses withinRosemead consistent with the long-established development patterns. The GPU EIR concluded division of an established community impacts to be less than significant. The General Plan Update involved a comprehensive update of the 1987 General Plan and follow-up revision to theZoning Code to implement the General Plan land use policies. No other agency has jurisdiction over land use issues in Rosemead. However, other agencies create plans in an advisory capacity. Twosuch plans arethe Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide (RCPG) and the Compass Blueprint. Consistency withthese plans ispresented in GPU EIR Table 4-23, Comparison of SCAG Policies. The General Plan Update is generally consistent with the RCPG policies and the Compass Blueprintstrategy. The General Plan Update is consistent with Policy 3.27 in terms of landuse; however,the GeneralPlan Update does not provide for adequate recreational facilities as indicated in the GPU EIR Section 5.11, Recreation. This inconsistency is a less than significant impact in terms of land use. The GPU EIR concluded conflicts with SCAG regional plans’ impacts to be less than significant. Environmental Analysis-51 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Impact Analysis Adoption of the proposed FCMU Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA19-03, and ZC 19-03, and future development associated with implementation of the project, would not physically divide established neighborhoods. Instead,theproposed FCMU Overlaywould allow mixed-use developmentsbyright in urbanized areas of the Citywhereresidential, commercial, and mixed-usedevelopment has been planned.In addition, the project includes mixed-use development standards that promote the addition of needed housing and the enhancement of mixed-use areas. Development associated with implementation of the project would facilitate and streamline multi-family housing and mixed-use development in zones that are consistent with such development, and would not create physical barriers in the community. Thus, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. The proposed FCMU Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 are compliant with the goals, policies, and actionsin the General Plan Update.In addition, adoption of the proposed FCMU Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 would not conflict with goals or objectives contained within SCAG regional plans. The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, inclusive of future development associated with implementation of the project. In addition, the project would be consistent with General Plan goals and policies calling for additional housing types and expanding the supply of housing. Thus, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard.

Traffic noise from the I-10 and the SR-60 Freeways can be significant but generally the sound walls and elevation changes along some segments reduce the noise levels. Ambient noise levels vary greatly depending on the proximity to the roads and railroad and the mitigation provided. Development allowed under the General Plan Update, as well as development in surrounding communities, will increase traffic volumes and associated noise levels. Significant noise levels already occur along many of the region’s transportation corridors, much due to regional through traffic. Some existing development is already impacted by vehicular noise and may continue to experience high noise levels whether or not the General Plan Update is adopted and implemented. The initial increase exceeds 3 dBA and the noise level is higher than 65 dBA CNEL. The GPU EIR concluded noiseimpacts to be less than significantwith the implementation of GPU policies. Impact Analysis The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, including within the proposed FCMU Overlay areas. Future development associated with implementation of the project would generate additional traffic that would increase noise levels along the roadway network. Traffic noise and train noise would continue to represent the primary sources of noise in the community. To ensure stationary noise sources do not exceed the Municipal Code thresholds for noise sensitive receptors, future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to reduce interior and exterior noise levels to meet the standards established in GPU EIRFigure 4-16, Noise/Land Use Compatibility Matrix, which ensures operational noise levels do not exceed established standards. Also, future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements, and General Plan Update Noise Element Goal 1, Policies 1.1 – 17; Goal 2, Policies 2.1-2.6, and Goal 3, Policies 3.1 – 3.4. These regulations and policies ensure less than significant impacts to established noise standards, noise/land use compatibility or traffic noise. Lastly, future development associated with implementation of the project would not allow for any new or more intensive noise sourcesthan previously analyzed in the GPU EIR, and would not relax or otherwise affect any policies, standards, regulations or plan review Environmental Analysis-53 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 procedures related to noise control and mitigation. Therefore, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-54 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.9POPULATION AND HOUSING Prior Environmental Findings Implementation of the General Plan Update allows for areas of focused change and the potential for an increased density and intensity, as well as maintains or enhances the intended character and development pattern of existing uses. The General Plan Update allows for the construction of an additional 6,047 dwelling units throughout the City by 2025, for a total of 20,744 dwelling units. A population increase of approximately 22,988 persons is expected to result in a total population of 80,385 residents by 2025. The General Plan Update Land Use Plan builds upon the existing land uses and policies. However, the General Plan Update does not directly propose new development or construction that would displace existing housing or residents. Population The General Plan Update has the potential to result in a substantial population increase in comparison topopulation projections at the local, sub-regional, and regional levels. This constitutes a significantimpact. The General Plan Update does not include goals or polices indicating that the City should grow inconsistency with local or regional growth projections. Mitigation Measures PH-1 and PH-2 require better communication with SCAG in order to bettercoordinate regional planning efforts. Although mitigation will help to lessen impacts it is notanticipated to reduce impacts to levels less than significant. Impacts will remain significant becausethe population increase that has the potential to occur is substantial in comparison to local, sub-regional, and regional trends and projections. The GPU EIR concluded impacts associated with population growth to be significant and unavoidable, despite the imposition of Mitigation MeasuresPH-1 and PH-2. Housing The number of potential housing could increase as a result of implementation of theGeneral Plan Update. The total number of housing units allowed under the assumed buildout of the General Plan Update is 20,744, an increase of 6,047 dwelling units. This represents a 42% increase indwelling units over the existing 14,648 units estimated in the City. The Sphere of Influence is located within theSouth San Gabriel Land Use Plan area. Similar to the population impacts discussed above, the increase in dwelling units for the City is higherthan local, sub-regional, and regional projections. This constitutes apotentially significant impact. Mitigation MeasuresPH-1 and PH-2 are designed to ensure regional considerations areaccounted for in the City’s implementation of the General Plan Update. Environmental Analysis-55 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Although impacts associatedwith housing development would be lessened through mitigation, impacts would be significant and unavoidable as the populationincrease exceeds sub-regional, and regional trends and projections. The GPU EIR concluded impacts associated with housing growth to be significant and unavoidable, despite the imposition of Mitigation MeasuresPH-1 and PH-2. Consistency with Regional Plans and Programs The General Plan Update is inconsistent with the Southern California Association of Government’s Regional Comprehensive Plan and Guide, as the General Plan Update does not provide for adequate recreational and park facilities. Mitigation measures to address the park and recreation impacts are contained within theRecreation section of GPU Draft EIR. In addition, the population and housing growth that would be allowed under the General Plan Update exceeds regional projections. The GPU EIR concluded impacts associated with consistency with regional plans and programs to be significant and unavoidable. Impact Analysis Population The General Plan Update assumed a population increase of approximately 22,988 persons to result in a total population of 80,385 residents by 2025.Future development associated with implementation of the project would result in population increases. To the extent that the project would result inan increase in population, it is anticipated that any increases would be consistent with the General Plan Update and would not increase the City’s projected growth beyond that evaluated in the GPU EIR. However, population growth impacts will remain significant and unavoidable because the General Plan Update populationincrease, inclusive of future development associated with implementation of the project, would continue to be higher thansub-regionaland regional populationprojections. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Housing The General Plan Update allow for the construction of an additional 6,047dwelling units throughout the City by 2025, including within the mixed-use categories and overlay zones. Future development associated with implementation of the project provides for new housing within the FCMU Overlayareas. Theproposed FCMU Overlaywould allow mixed-use developmentsbyright in urbanized areas of the Citywhereresidential, commercial, and mixed-usedevelopment has been planned, and thus expanding the opportunity for mixed- Environmental Analysis-56 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 use development in areas not previously considered within the City. In addition, the project adds live/work units as a permitted use.Thus, the project expands housing types and locations to accommodate the General Plan Update projected housing and population growth. Future development associated with implementation of the project would result in additional dwelling units. To the extent that the project would result inan increase in dwellingunits, it is anticipated that any increaseswould be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase theCity’s projectedgrowth beyond that evaluated in the GPU EIR. However, housing growth impacts remain significant and unavoidable as the General Plan Update dwelling unit increase, inclusive of future development associated with implementation of the project, would continue to be higher thansub-regionaland regional populationprojections. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Consistency with Regional Plans and Programs As noted above, population and housing growth in the City, inclusive of future development associated with implementation of the project, would continue to be higher thansub- regionaland regional populationprojections.In addition, the General Plan Update does not provide for adequate recreational and park facilities and thus, inconsistent with regional plans. Impacts remain significant and unavoidable. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard.

Development constructed pursuant to the General Plan Update may be impacted if adequate wateravailability and water flow are not available to redeveloped areas. The LACoFD sets response time goals of five to eight minutes. Due to thebuilt out nature of the City and surrounding jurisdictions, future development will occur within the currentservice range of Station No. 4 and Station No. 42. The General Plan Update supports fire prevention and themaintenance and expansion of fire services through the following policies and actions:Public Safety ElementPolices 3.3, 3.5, and 3.6, and Actions 3.1 and 3.2. Through implementation of the policies and actions, population increases are not anticipated to impact fire protection oremergency medical service response times. Adequate water flow and pressure is essential to fire protection services. The City is generally builtout and has an established water distribution network. Hydrant placement, flow, and pressurerequirements are determined through application of Regulation No. 8 of the Fire Code. The Fire Code setsstandards for new development and existing development depending on the size of the structure andits use, as well as the gallons per minute fire flow requirements for all development types. The General Plan Update supports adequate water supply and flow through the following policy: Public Safety Element Policy 3.1. Through implementation of the policy, adequate fire suppression flows will be achieved. The General Plan EIR concluded less than significant impacts for fire protection and emergency services. Theadditional residences and businesses anticipated under the General Plan Update will require additional fire protectionand emergency medical services provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD), which may impact services by increasing response times. Impactsmay also occur if the service demands of the population exceed the abilities of LASD to provide police services. The LASDsets a response time goal of four to five minutes for emergencycalls, eight to nine minutes for priority calls, and 30-40 minutes for routine calls. Due to the built out nature of the City and surrounding jurisdictions, development will occur within the current servicerange of the Temple Station. Environmental Analysis-59 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The General Plan Update supports crime prevention and the expansion ofpolice protection services through the following policies:Public Safety Element Policies 3.6 and 3.8. Through implementation of the policies, population increases are not anticipated to impact police protection serviceresponse times. The General Plan Update also ensuresthat the City shall increase the number of officers in orderto meet the officer to resident ratio as Rosemead’s population increases. The Temple Station alsohas an ongoing growth plan to fill vacant personnel positions, construct new facilities, and renovateexisting facilities. Impacts to the officer to resident ratios and the ability for the LASDto serve thecommunitywill be less than significant through the implementation of Public Safety Element Policies 3.6 and 3.8 and LASD standards. The General Plan EIR concluded less than significant impacts for police protection services. Ifall development occurs as allowed in the General Plan, the number of dwelling units and populationin the City will increase, thereby requiring additional school services. GPU EIR Table 4-42, Increase in Dwelling Units By School District,shows the distribution of the anticipated dwelling units based on current school districtboundariesfor the following seven school districts: Garvey School District, Alhambra Unified School District, Rosemead School District, El Monte City School District, El Monte Union High School District, Montebello Unified School District, San Gabriel Unified School District. The GPU EIR noted that student enrollments will likely fluctuate over the coming years, perhaps, considerably, as a result of demographic variables such as an aging population, declines orincreases in family sizes, etc. Enrollment levels may, therefore, may be lower or higher than thedesign capacity of affected schools over the long-term, independent of the effects of the proposed residential land use policies.An analysis for each of the seven school districts is provided below. Garvey School District Garvey School District is currently estimated to be 54 students over capacity under the assumedclassroom count. The 2,324 new dwelling units have the potential to be constructed within theboundaries of the District that would result in approximately 971 new elementary school-aged childrenwho would need to be served by the District. This constitutes a potentially significant impact becausethe projected number of students would exacerbate the over-crowded conditions in the District.However, under the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, payment of Development Impact Fees (DIFs) constitutes full mitigation of any impactto school due to development. Under State law, impacts to the GarveySchool District will be less than significant. Environmental Analysis-60 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Alhambra Unified School District The high schools within Alhambra Unified School District are currently estimated to be 1,175 students over capacity under the assumed classroomcount. 2,324 new dwelling units have thepotential to be constructed within the boundaries of the District that would result in approximately 360new high school students who would need to be served by the District. This constitutes a potentiallysignificant impact because the projected number of students would exacerbate the over-crowdedconditions in the District. However, under the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,payment of DIFs constitutes full mitigation of any impact to schools due to development. Based onthis legislation, impacts to the Garvey School District are considered to be less than significant. Rosemead School District Rosemead School District is currently at 78% ofits capacity with room to accommodate 892 morestudents. 3,531 new dwelling units have the potential to be constructed within the boundaries of theDistrict that would result in approximately 2,203 new elementary school- aged children who wouldneed to be served by the District. This constitutes a potentially significant impact because theprojected number of students would exceed the capacity of the District. However, under the Leroy F.Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, payment of DIFs constitutes fullmitigation of any impact toschools due to development. Based on this legislation, impacts to the Rosemead School District areconsidered less than significant. El Monte City School District El Monte City School District is currently at 93 percent of its capacity with room to accommodate 837more students. 142 new dwelling units have the potential to be constructed within the boundaries ofthe District that would result in approximately 82 new elementary school-aged children who wouldneed to be served by the District. Thus, there is no impact. El Monte Union High School District El Monte Union High School District is approximately 488 students over capacity. 3,673 new dwelling units have the potential to be constructed within the boundaries of the District that would result inapproximately 848 new high school students who would need to be served by the District. Thisconstitutes a potentially significant impact because the projected number of students wouldexacerbate the over-crowded conditions in theDistrict. However, under the Leroy F. Greene SchoolFacilities Act of 1998, payment of DIFs constitutes full mitigation of any impact to schools due todevelopment. Based on this legislation, impacts to the EL Monte Union High School District areconsidered less than significant. Montebello Unified School District Montebello Unified School District is currently at 93 percent of its capacity with room to accommodate2,487 more students. 44 new dwelling units have the potential to be constructed within theboundaries of the District that would result in approximately 31 new Environmental Analysis-61 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 elementary school-aged childrenwho would need to be served by the District. Thus, there is no impact. San Gabriel Unified School District San Gabriel Unified School District is currently at 98 percent of its capacity with room to accommodate 152 more students. Sixnew dwelling units have the potential to be constructed withinthe boundaries of the District that would result in approximately 5 new elementary and high schoolstudents who would need to be served by the District. Thus, there is no impact. The General Plan EIR concluded no impacts or less than significant impacts for schools. Population increases associated with implementation of the General Plan Update will lead to increased demand onlibrary services. Los Angeles County (County) utilizes a planning ratio of 0.50 square feet per person as its facilityspace goal. In 2008, approximately 0.51 square feet/person (29,500 square feet to 57,422 persons) oflibrary space was provided to the residents of Rosemead. In 2025, with an estimated population of80,410, the provision of library services would be reduced to 0.37 square feet per person. Additionally, the County uses a planning ratio of 2.75 items per person as part of its level of servicegoal. In 2008, approximately 3.36 (192,229 items to 57,422 persons) items were being provided tothe residents of Rosemead. In 2025, this ratio will be reduced to approximately 2.39 items perperson. In 2004, the County completed an update to the Library SystemStrategic Plan, which identified the following goals: Use available technology to enhance customer service Create a model “state of the art” library to pilot technologies and programs Improve library facilities Develop new capital funding sources Build diverse funding sources to support library operations Promote quality leadership and effective management to improve the organization Increases in population due to implementation of the General Plan Update may impact the facilities planningratio set by the County for the Rosemead Library. As indicated above, population increase that canbe accommodated by the General Plan Update would reduce the ratio from 0.51 to 0.37, unlessadditional library space is added in Rosemead. Funding for the library comes primarily from propertytaxes, with additional funds accruing from parcel taxes. These funding sources will expand as newdevelopment occurs and new taxes are assessed, and additional funding to support expansion ofcapital facilities to serve Environmental Analysis-62 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Rosemead could become available. Thus, the General Plan Update program willnot impede implementation of the County’s Library System Strategic Plan. The General Plan EIR concluded less than significant impacts for library services. Impact Analysis Future development associated with implementation of the project would increase the need for fire protection and emergency services. To the extent that the project would result in additional population and development growth, it is anticipated that suchgrowth would be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase growth beyond that evaluated in theGPU EIR. Thus, future development associated with implementation of the project would result in a similar demand for fire protection and emergency services, and as such, a similar level of impact to that identified in the GPU EIR. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with General PlanPublic Safety Element Public Safety Element Polices 3.1 3.3, 3.5, and 3.6, and Actions 3.1 and 3.2, as well as applicable development standards, and all other Fire Code and Municipal Code requirements. These policies, actions, and regulations ensure impacts remain at less than significant. In conclusion, future development associated with implementation of the project would not result in new or more fire protection or emergency service impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Therefore, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the project would increase the need for police protection services. To the extent that the project would result inadditional population and development growth, it is anticipated that suchgrowth would be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase growth beyond that evaluated in the GPU EIR. Thus, future development associated with implementation of the project would result in a similar demand for police protection services, and as such, a similar level of impact to that identified in the GPU EIR. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould be required to comply with General PlanPublic Safety Element Public Safety Element Policies 3.6 and 3.8, as well as applicable development standards, and all other Municipal Code requirements. These policies and regulations ensure impacts remain at less than significant. Environmental Analysis-63 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 In conclusion, future development associated with implementation of the project would not result in new or more police protection service impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Therefore, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould increase school enrollment. To the extent that the project would result inadditional population and development growth, it is anticipated that suchgrowth would be consistent with the General Plan Update and would not increase growth beyondthat evaluated in theGPU EIR. However, due to the existing capacities of schools within the districts serving the City, it is not anticipated that construction of new educational facilities would be required. Thus, future development associated with implementation of the project would result in a similar demand for schools, and as such, a similar level of impact to that identified in the GPU EIR.The payment of required school fees to the applicable school district fully mitigates any potential impacts. In conclusion, future development associated with implementation of the project would not result in new or more school impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Therefore, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the project would result in an increase for library services. To the extent that the project would result inadditional population and development growth, it is anticipated that suchgrowth would be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase growth beyond that evaluated in the GPU EIR. It is not anticipated that construction of new library facilities would be required and any necessary improvements to libraries facilities would be planned and constructed by the Los Angeles County library system. Thus, future development associated with implementation of the project would result in a similar demand for library facilities, and as such, a similar level of impact to that identified in the GPU EIR. In conclusion, future development associated with implementation of the project would not result in new or more library impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Therefore, impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Environmental Analysis-64 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 3.11 RECREATION Prior Environmental Findings At the time the GPU EIR was prepared, the City provided 0.75 acres of parkland per 1,000 residents, with a stated goal of providing 1.0 acre of parkland per 1,000 residents over the long-term. Since the proposed General Plan Update anticipatesan increase in population and coupled with the lack of available land within the City, the issue of providing parkland will be exacerbated. The lack of sufficient parks and recreation opportunities could result in the accelerated deterioration of existing facilities due to potential overuse both within the City and in surrounding jurisdictions. However, there is limited amount of vacant land in the City and the timing and resources for acquisition are uncertain. As the population increases in Rosemead without adequate parkland, the result is a significant and unavoidable impact on park resources.The GPU EIR concluded significant and unavoidable project and cumulative impacts despite the imposition of Mitigation Measures R-1 and R-2. Impact Analysis To the extent that the project would result inan increase in park use, it is anticipated that any increaseswould be consistent with the GeneralPlan Update and would not increase the City’s projectedpark use beyond that evaluated in the GPU EIR. Future development associated with implementation of the project would increase the use of existing neighborhood or regional parksdue to the increase in residents. However, implementation of the project would result in a similar demand for parkland and impacts to parks and recreation resources would be at asimilar levelof impact to that identified in the GPU EIR.Also, implementation of the project would not result in a substantial additional deterioration of existing parks and other recreational facilities, as the potential residential capacity under the project is similar to that analyzed in the GPU EIR. In summary, implementation of the project would not result in new or more severe significant recreation impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Therefore, project and cumulative recreation impacts remain significant and unavoidable. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard.

Thus, growthallowed to occur pursuant to the General Plan will result largely from development of vacant parcelsand recycling of existing uses, consistent with the General Plan. For the purposes of the trafficanalysis and looking toward the horizon year of 2025, future traffic includes new trips from higherintensity land uses within Rosemead and surrounding jurisdictions. The analysis of anticipated future conditions at study intersections and road segments was performed using the same methodologies that were used to evaluate existing conditions, as well as considered ambient growth. Analysis results of the forecast future intersection peak hour conditions are summarized in GPU EIR Table 4-47 for the AM peak hour and GPU EIR Table 4-48 for the PM peak hour. Analysis results of forecast future roadwaysegment operations conditions are summarized in GPU EIR Table 4-49. Significant impacts due to ambient growth will result at up to 22 of the 28 study area intersections during the AM and PM peak hours. In addition, the General Plan Update’s project contribution is also considered significant at up to 21 intersections during the AM and PM Peak hours. The General Plan Update results in Level of Services (LOS) impacts for 14 of the 23 roadway segments. Improvements The General Plan Update Circulation Element describes several long-term improvements to the City’s circulation system that will be implemented to address anticipated, immediate, and long-term needs. These improvements include physical capacity improvements and alternative capacity enhancements. The first set of physical capacity improvements are aimed at reducing traffic congestion at major intersection approaches. Identified capacity improvements at major intersections, for implementation through the buildout analysis year of 2025, are listed within GPU EIR Table 4-50. Also included in the analysis was the configuration of mid-block segments of major roadways. These alsorepresent capacity increases for the reduction of congestion. The identified physical improvements to 15 major roadway corridors are listed within GPU EIR Table 4-51.GPU EIR Table 4-47 through Table 4-51 are provided at the end of this section. An alternate strategy for traffic improvement is the implementation of corridor traffic signal synchronizationwith adaptive control technology. Adaptive signal control technologies have the goals of reducing traveltimes, vehicle delay, and overall congestion. With the implementation of signal synchronization and adaptive control within the recommended corridors, the following 16 intersections within the corridors would continue to have significant impacts andwould require traditional widening improvements: Environmental Analysis-67 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Rosemead Boulevard at Mission Drive – PMpeak Walnut Grove Avenue at Valley Boulevard – AMand PMpeak Rosemead Boulevard at Valley Boulevard – AMpeak and PMpeak Valley Boulevard at Rio Hondo Avenue – PMpeak Walnut Grove Avenue at MarshallStreet – AMpeak and PMpeak Rosemead Boulevard at Marshall Street – PMpeak Rosemead Boulevard at Glendon Way – AMpeak and PMpeak Del Mar Avenue at Hellman Avenue – AMpeak and PMpeak San Gabriel Boulevard at Hellman Avenue – PMpeak Walnut Grove Avenue at Hellman/Ramona – AMpeak and PMpeak New Avenue & Garvey Avenue – AMpeak and PMpeak Del Mar Avenue at Garvey Avenue – PMpeak San Gabriel Boulevard at Garvey Avenue – PMpeak Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue – AMpeak and PMpeak Walnut Grove Avenue at San Gabriel Boulevard - PMpeak San Gabriel Boulevard at SR-60 Westbound Ramps – AMpeak and PMpeak Implementation of a centralized and adaptive traffic signal control system, while not eliminating the needfor physical capacity increases at allmajor area intersections, will provide an alternative remedy for trafficimpacts of the General Plan Update at many local intersections. The implementation of thecentralized/adaptive traffic control system can be accommodated in the regular, periodic Capital Improvement Program (CIP) updates. While the General Plan Update has policies and programs that help minimize impacts, the following impactsremain: Walnut Grove Avenueat Mission Drive, (AMand PMpeak hours) Walnut Grove Avenueat Marshall Street (AMand PMpeak hours) Rosemead Boulevardat Glendon Way (PMpeak hour) Del Mar Avenueat Hellman Avenue (AMpeak hour) New Avenueat Garvey Avenue (AMand PMpeak hours) Del Mar Avenueat Garvey Avenue (PMpeak hour) Walnut Grove Avenue at Garvey Avenue (AMand PMpeak hours) San Gabriel Boulevardat SR-60 westbound ramps (AMand PMpeak hours) Environmental Analysis-68 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 The construction of new facilities and the acquisition of land will take a concentrated effort by both city staff and local decision makers. At this time, there is no guarantee that new facilities will be built. No additional feasible measures are available to further mitigate impacts at the analyzed intersections. This is considered a significant and unavoidable impact atthe project level. While implementation ofpolicies in the General Plan Update may furtherreduce the cumulative transportation/trafficimpact to some extent, traffic generated bynew development in Rosemead andsurrounding communities over the next 20years will continue to contribute to overalltraffic congestion in the region. Policies contained within the General Plan Update reduce transportation impacts, but no other mitigation measures were feasible. Thus, the GPU EIR concluded significant and unavoidable project and cumulative impacts. Rosemead Boulevard at Valley Boulevard The intersection of Rosemead Boulevard at Valley Boulevard is classified as a Congestion Management Program (CMP) arterial monitoringstation, and identified as CMP intersection #131. This intersectionoperates at LOS E during the morning and evening peak periods, and would worsen to LOS F during bothpeak periods by the buildout analysis year. It should be noted that this intersection is also predicted toworsen to LOS F by 2025 when analyzing future ambient growth without the project. The identified levelof service and incremental volume-to-capacity impactsat this intersection can be mitigated and restored to the existing LOS E with the following capacity improvements: Additional northbound and southbound thru lanes and a new northbound left turn lane. Corridor signal synchronization on Rosemead Boulevard and/or Valley Boulevard, including thisintersection, could alternatively remove impacts. Rosemead Boulevard is classified as a primary arterial in the CMP System. The following study roadwaysegments on Rosemead Boulevard currently operate: Lower Azusa Road to Mission Drive – LOS F Valley Boulevard to Marshall Street – LOS F Telstar Avenue to Whitmore Street – LOS E All of thesesegments would operate at LOS F by the buildout analysis year. It should be noted that these roadwaysegments are also predicted to worsen to LOS F by 2025 when analyzing future ambient growth withoutthe General Plan Update. Mitigation measures, Environmental Analysis-69 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 either physical or related to potential future signal synchronizationsystems, would remove the impacts caused by volume-to-capacity increases on these roadwaysegments, but level of service impacts (worsening to E or F from the General Plan Update) wouldremain. Interstate 10 (I-10) and State Route 60 (SR-60) provide regional access to andfrom the City. On both facilities during the morning peak period, the westbound segments operate at LOSF. During the evening peak period, the eastbound segments operate at LOS F. In addition to these twoperiods, these freeways have periods of severe congestion during the midday and weekends as well. Larger projects such as the mixed-usedevelopments allowed under the General Plan Update for the City core could potentially createsignificant impacts that would add 150 or more trips to the freeway in each direction. Currently, no singleproject can be identified at this time as meeting the threshold for significant impacts. The City, inaccordance with the CMP guidelines, tracks new development activity in order to effectively mitigatecongestion- generating impacts on the freeway system. As development projects are reviewed through the City entitlement process, specific mitigations appropriate to those developmentswould be requiredand approved by the City. Mitigations for freeway impacts typically involve fair- share contributions toCaltrans for large but individual projects. The General Plan Update is expected to add some transit demand, however, thatdemand is not anticipated to be significant. New riders may be generated because of changes in marketconditions, increased mixed-usedevelopment, and development of properties outside the City Limits. Assuch, the impact associated with futuregrowth and development on the transit system cannot readily bequantified. The number of new transit trips generated by new developments allowed under the General Plan Update could likely be accommodated on the area bus transit lines operated by Metro andtheCity of Rosemead, without causing any adverse impacts on operations. Future expansions of trainservice on the Metrolink San Bernardino Line (access locally via a station in El Monte) would likely keep up with growth within Rosemead. Implementation of the General Plan Update may result in a substantial increase in traffic in relation to the existingtraffic load and an individual or cumulative level of service condition that exceeds standards establishedby the City. Regional traffic growth and increased development intensities within the City will result inincreased through traffic volumes on Rosemead streets. While the General Plan Update includes policiesand physical roadway and control improvements, that over time will improve service levels, the certainty and timing of such cannot be established. Accordingly, the transportation impacts of the General Plan Update will be significant and unavoidable. Environmental Analysis-70 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 Impact Analysis The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, including within the proposed FCMU Overlayareas. The intersections and roadway segments in close proximity to the FCMU Overlayareas are listed below, and those denoted with an asterisk (*) would be subject to the intersection or roadway segment improvements, as applicable,identified in GPU EIR Tables 4-50 and 4-51, provided earlier in this section.

GPU EIR Traffic Impact Analysis Study Intersection: 8.Valley Boulevard at Temple City Boulevard* GPU EIR Traffic Impact Analysis Study Roadway Segment: 16.Temple City Boulevard from Valley Boulevard to Marshall Street* All nine of the identified intersections (4, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20) and six of the ten identified roadway segments (3, 4, 7, 10, 16, 22) would benefit from the improvements previously identified in GPU EIR Tables 4-50 and 4-51, and thus maintain the intersection androadway segment levels of service projected under the General Plan Update for 2025. Based on the General Plan Update traffic analysis, which accounted for additional residential and commercial growthinclusive offuture development associated with implementation of the project, the General Plan Update results in significant and unavoidable impacts to the traffic and transportation network as the level of service (LOS) for intersections and roadway segments would exceed the City’s transportation capacity performance standard. Future development associated with implementation of the project could result in additional daily trips on the City’s roadways; however, the projected residential and non-residential growth and associated trips have been accounted for in the General Plan Circulation Element and the GPU EIR.Thus, the project would not result in any new significant intersection impacts and also would not worsen projected LOS at any intersection or roadway segment that was previously projected to have a significant impact. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould be required to comply with the applicable development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements, General Plan Circulation Element Goal 1, Policies 1.1 – 1.7, Action 1.1 - 1.8 and Goal 2, Policies 2.1 - 2.6, Actions 2.1 – 2.5, and identified intersection and roadway segment improvements. These goals, policies, actions, and identified improvementsensure impacts remain as significant and unavoidable. Thus, the project would not result in new or more severe traffic impacts than those analyzed in the GPU EIR. Nor would the future development associated with implementation of the projectbe inconsistent with an applicable plan.Therefore, impacts remain significant and unavoidable. Therefore, project and cumulative transportation impacts remain significant and unavoidable. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard.

Many programs are in place at local and countywide levels to reduce waste generation and increase landfill capacity (at existing and proposed new sites). Growth within the City of Rosemead could increase solid waste sources and solid waste disposed of at landfills. Assuming the diversion rate of 59 percent currently attained by the Los Angeles Area Integrated Waste Management Authority is maintained over the next twenty years and is representative of thediversion rate of Rosemead (a member of the Authority); approximately 90,000 tons of solid waste per year (1,730 tons per week) could be taken to landfills by 2025. This represents an increase of 484 tons of solid waste per week. The Chiquita Canyon Landfill and the Puente Hills Landfill can receive up to 30,000 tons and 13,200 tons of solid waste per week,respectively. An increase of 484 tons would be slightly over one percent of the combined capacity of the two landfills. The Chiquita Canyon and Puente Hills Landfills have enough capacity to accommodate the increase. Chiquita Canyon was scheduled to closein 2019. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved a 30-year permit in June 2019. The Puente Hills landfill closed in 2013.After the closure, waste must be taken to alternative sites. Despite the continued efforts of the Los Angeles Area Integrated Waste Management Authority to increase its diversion rates, technologies are not currently available to completely recycle, destroy, or reuse all solid waste. Likewise, continued disposal of solid waste at landfills would contribute to the eventual closure of existing landfills and any future landfill sites. Although the amount of solid waste originating from Rosemead appears very small relative to the volumes accepted annually at each of the regional landfills, diminishing landfill space is a significant regional issue, and cumulative impacts are considered significantand unavoidable. The GPU EIR concluded that project and cumulative impacts are significant and unavoidable despite the imposition of Mitigation Measures UT-1 and UT-2. Of the four water districts large enough to be required to submit Urban Water Management Plans, all of them either predicted no or minimal growth in their service area, or went with SCAG’sforecast. The percent increases in population from 2005 to 2025 planned for in the service areas ofeach district were as follows: Golden State Water Company – 12.6 percent growth (based on SCAG estimate) San Gabriel County Water Company – 5.8 percent growth (based on data from the City ofSan Gabriel) Environmental Analysis-79 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 San Gabriel Valley Water Company – 0 percent (population growth was not addressed in theplan, but water demand was expected to remain unchanged from 2005 to 2025 California American Water Company – 3.5 percent (based on growth rate for the past 15years) In comparing the General Plan Update to the1987 General Plan, the General Plan Update could result in 24,123 more people than the previous plan. GPU EIR Table 4-52 shows the residential water use for the 1987 General Plan and the General Plan Update. The General Plan Update would consume 9,007 acre-feet per, which is 2,702 acre-feet more per year than the previous plan. General Plan Update Table 4-53 shows the commercial, office, and light industrial water use the 1987 General Plan and the General Plan Update. The General Plan Update would consume 726 acre-feet per, which is 8,977 acre-feet less per year than the previousplan. Therefore, the total water demand associated with the General Plan Update would be lower than the total demand associated with the previous Plan. Furthermore, the water companies will not issue permits or allow water hookups if adequate supply is not available. Therefore, the General Plan Update would result in less than significant impacts. Increases in population and newdevelopment allowed under the GeneralPlan will result in higher demand on thewater treatment network. The City’s 1996Sewer Master Plan looked Environmental Analysis-80 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 at focus areasin the City. In the areas covered by the1996 Sewer Master Plan, the sewers arelikely operating near capacity. In the areasnot covered by the 1996 Plan, sewer operation level is unknown. As theGeneral Plan Update allows fordevelopment that would increasewastewater generation over current levels,a significant and unavoidable impact is anticipated. The GPU EIR concluded that impacts were less than significant with the imposition of Mitigation Measures UT-3 and UT-4. The City is largely built out and, as such,new development allowed pursuant to theGeneral Plan Update will occur primarily on landcurrently developed. Implementation of theGeneral Plan Update will, as well as compliancewith State and Federal laws, ensure less than significant impacts occur. Impact Analysis The additional growth analyzed in the GPU EIR includes up to 6,047 dwelling units; 7,310,000 square feet of commercial use; and a minimal net gain of office/industrial uses within the City by 2025, including within the proposed FCMU Overlayareas. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould generate waste. This increase in waste generation has been accounted for in the GPU EIR as the development allowed under the General Plan Updateaccounted for additional growth, inclusive of future development associated with implementation of the project. The landfills that accept waste from Rosemeadhave sufficient capacity to accommodate the anticipated increase in waste generation. Thus, adequate capacity exists within the existing waste collection treatment and recycling programs to accommodate the project. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwould be required to comply with applicable development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirementsand Mitigation Measures UT-1 and UT-2. These regulations and mitigation measures ensure impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Future development associated with implementation of the projectwouldplace higher demandson water facilities, including supply and distribution facilities.At the time of buildout, development of land uses allowable under the General Plan Update, inclusive of Environmental Analysis-81 - July 2021 Addendum to theRosemead General Plan Update Final Environmental Impact Report For the Proposed Freeway Corridor Mixed-Use Overlay, MCA 19-02, GPA 19-03, and ZC 19-03 future development associated with implementation of the project, would use approximately 9,730 acre-feet per year (AFY), which is 5,946 AFY less than the 1987 General Plan. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be in areasof the City that are urbanized in nature and where existing water and wastewater infrastructure exists.Future development associated with implementation of the project would be reviewed by the City, in consultation with the appropriate water district, to ensure consistency with wastewater collection system requirements established in plans and agreements, as well as to ensure that sufficient wastewater infrastructure capacity is available to serve a new development or facility prior to approval of a project. Specific improvements to the wastewater collection system may be necessary to accommodate future development, and would be incorporated into project design. Future development associated with implementation of the project wouldgenerate additional wastewater flows that would be treated by Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) treatment plants.Wastewater generation for the project is expected to be comparable to projected demands, and thus would not exceed those capacities. Thus, adequate capacity exists within the LACSD existing waste collection treatment and recycling programs to accommodate the project. Future development for the project would be required to comply with applicable development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements. These regulations ensure reduced water consumption and wastewater flow associated with the project, decrease the overall burden on existing water facilities, and decrease the number of facilities that would need to be constructed or expanded.These regulations ensure impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any impacts or increase the severity of impacts in this regard. Impacts on the local and regional storm drain network would be similar for the project as projected for the General Plan Update, since the City planning area is mostly developed and a substantial increase in impervious surface area that generates runoff would not occur. Future development associated with implementation of the project would be required to comply with the applicable development standards and all other applicable Municipal Code requirements, and General Plan Update Resources Management Policy3.2 and Public Safety Element Actions 1.8 and 1.26. These regulations, policies, and actions ensure impacts remain at less than significant. No New Impact. The changes associated with the project would not result in any new impacts nor increase the severity of impacts in this regard.
