NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY FINDS, DECLARES, AND RECOMMENDS AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving General Plan Amendment 22-01 in accordance with Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.152.060(A) as follows: A. The amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General Plan. FINDING: The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The subject site is currently zoned R-1 on the Zoning Map. However, the applicant is proposing a zone change to amend the Zoning Map of the subject site from the R-1 to P -D zone. According to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table in the General Plan, the P -D zone is a corresponding zone district to the Medium Density Residential land use designation. B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. FINDING: The existing land use designation of the subject site is Low Density Residential. The subject site consists of three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land. The proposed amendment would change the land use designation to Medium Density Residential for the construction of 37 residential units. The subject site is located in a low density residential neighborhood and will continue as a residential use, therefore, will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. The City has completed an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project pursuant to Section 15070(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration. C. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Zoning Code. FINDING: The proposed amendment would change the zone from R-1 to P -D for the construction of 37 residential units. The P -D zone is intended to provide for developments that are characterized by innovative use and design concepts. The minimum area for a P -D project is one acre. The subject site consists of three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land. In addition, the proposed development would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. D. The affected site is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located. FINDING: The subject site is located in a residential neighborhood and will continue as a residential use, therefore, the amendment to the Medium Density Residential land use designation for the construction of 37 residential units will be physically suitable for the subject site. The subject site is currently designated as Low Density Residential and is currently surrounded by predominately residential uses. A trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) screening analysis was prepared for the project by Environmental Planning Development (EDP) Solutions, Inc. The technical memorandum evaluated the trip generation and need to prepare a level of service (LOS) or vehicle miles traveled (VMT) analysis for the proposed project based on the City of Rosemead's Transportation Study Guidelines for VMT and LOS Assessment. If a project meets one of the following three criteria listed in the Rosemead's Transportation Study Guidelines for VMT and LOS Assessment, then the VMT impact of the project would be considered less than significant and no further analysis would be required. The proposed project was able to satisfy Screening Criteria 2 — Low VMT Area. The City Engineer has reviewed the VMT analysis and on -street parking evaluation and found it acceptable and the VMT analysis has been included into in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. SECTION 2. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Tentative Tract Map 83705 in accordance with Section 66474 et seq of the Subdivision Map Act and Rosemead Municipal Code Chapter 16.04 as follows: A. That the proposed map is consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 83705 will consolidate three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land, for the creation of nine legal parcels for 37 residential units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan. The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The Medium Density Residential land use designation allows a density of 12 units per acre. The density proposed is within the allowed density. There is no applicable specific plan. B. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with applicable general and specific plans. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 83705 will consolidate three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land, for the creation of nine legal parcels for 37 residential units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan. The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The Medium Density Residential land use designation allows a density of 12 units per acre. The density proposed is within the allowed density. In addition, several conditions of approval and mitigation measures have been incorporated making the site physically suitable for a residential planned development. C. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. FINDING: The P -D zone is designated to accommodate various types of development such as residential developments. The minimum lot area for a P -D project is one acre. The subject site consists of three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land. The proposed development would be in compliance with the applicable development standards of the Rosemead Zoning Code. In addition, the site is surrounded by residential uses. In addition, several conditions of approval and mitigation measures have been incorporated making the site physically suitable for a residential planned development. D. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. FINDING: Tentative Tract Map 83705 will consolidate three vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land, for the creation of nine legal parcels for 37 residential units. The project includes an amendment to the General Plan. The proposed amendment will change the land use designation of the subject parcel from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The Medium Density Residential land use designation allows a density of 12 units per acre. The density proposed is within the allowed density. With the recommended conditions of approval and mitigation measures that have been incorporated, the site is physically suitable for a 37 -unit residential planned development. E. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat. FINDING: There are no fish or wildlife occurring on the project site or in the vicinity of the project site. The City has completed an Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed project pursuant to Section 15070(b) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the "project" may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of the analysis within the Initial Study, the City has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures and has therefore prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration. In addition, the General Plan does not identify any biological resources within the City. There are no species identified as endangered, candidate, sensitive, or special status species within the limits of either the site or in the immediate area. Consequently, no significant impact would occur to any sensitive species designated by the resources agencies as a result of project implementation. F. That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health problems. FINDING: The project has been reviewed by the Community Development Department an&Public Works Department to determine if the proposed development will be detrimental to the public interest; :health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City. With implementation of the recommended cpnditions of approval and mitigation measures, the proposed development is not anticipated to cruse public health problems. G. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. FINDING: The City Engineer has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the adjacent right-of-way. Vehicular access to the project site will be provided from Mission Drive and will be privately maintained. Based on this review, it is determined that the design and construction of the project would preserve public safety and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, the City Engineer has deemed the trip generation and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) screening analysis and on -street parking evaluation acceptable and has also incorporated conditions of approval to ensure that any potential traffic related issue or on -street parking issue is mitigated.

The nesting survey shall include the Project site and areas immediately adjacent to the site that could potentially be affected by Project -related construction activities, such as noise, human activity, and dust, etc. If active nesting of birds is observed within 100 feet of the designated construction area prior to construction, the qualified biologist shall establish an appropriate buffer around the active nests (e.g., as much as 500 feet for raptors and 300 feet for non -raptors [subject to the recommendations of the qualified biologist]), and the buffer areas shall be avoided until the nests are no longer occupied and the juvenile birds can survive independently from the nests. Cultural Resources/Tribal 83. Archaeological Monitoring - The Applicant shall retain a qualified archaeologist to perform archaeological monitoring and the archaeologist shall be present during initial ground -disturbing activities (e.g., site preparation and grading) to identify and assess any known or suspected archaeological and/or cultural resource. The qualified archaeologist shall develop a Cultural Resources Management Plan to address the details, timing, and responsibility of all archaeological and cultural resource activities that occur on the Project site. The plan shall include a scope of work, project grading and development scheduling, pre -construction meeting (with consultants, contractors, and monitors), a monitoring schedule during all initial ground -disturbance related activities, safety requirements, and protocols to follow in the event of previously unknown cultural resources discoveries that could be subject to a cultural resources evaluation. The plan shall be submitted to the City and the Consulting Tribe(s) for review and comment, prior to final approval by the City. 84. Native American Monitoring - Prior to the commencement of any ground disturbing activity at the Project site, the Project applicant shall retain a Native American Monitor approved by the Gabrieleho Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation. A copy of the executed contract shall be submitted to the City of Rosemead Planning and Building Department prior to the issuance of any permit necessary to commence a ground -disturbing activity. The Tribal monitor shall only be present on-site during the construction phases that involve ground -disturbing activities. Ground disturbing activities are defined by the Tribe as activities that may include, but are not limited to, pavement removal, potholing or auguring, grubbing, tree removals, boring, grading, excavation, drilling, and trenching, within the Project area. The Tribal Monitor shall complete daily monitoring logs that shall provide descriptions of the day's activities, including construction activities, locations, soil, and any cultural materials identified. The on-site monitoring shall end when all ground -disturbing activities on the Project site are completed, or when the Tribal Representatives and Tribal Monitor have indicated that all upcoming ground -disturbing activities at the Project site have little to no potential to impact Tribal Cultural Resources. Upon discovery of any Tribal Cultural Resources, construction activities shall cease in the immediate vicinity of the find (not less than the surrounding 100 feet) until the find can be assessed. All Tribal Cultural Resources unearthed by Project activities shall be evaluated by the qualified archaeologist and Tribal monitor approved by the Consulting Tribe. If the resources are Native American in origin, the Consulting Tribe shall retain it/them in the form and/or manner the Tribe deems appropriate, for educational, cultural and/or historic purposes. If human remains and/or grave goods are discovered or recognized at the Project site, all ground disturbance shall immediately cease, and the county coroner shall be notified per Public Resources Code Section 5097.98, and Health & Safety Code Section 7050.5. Human remains and grave/burial goods shall be treated alike per California Public Resources Code section 5097.98(d)(1) and (2). Work may continue on other parts of the Project site while evaluation and, if necessary, mitigation takes place (CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5[fJ). If a non -Native American resource is determined by the qualified archaeologist to constitute a "historical resource" or "unique archaeological resource," time allotment and funding sufficient to allow for implementation of avoidance measures, or appropriate mitigation, must be available. The treatment plan established for the resources shall be in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.5(f) for historical resources and PRC Sections 21083.2(b) for unique archaeological resources. Preservation in place (i.e., avoidance) is the preferred manner of treatment. If preservation in place is not feasible, treatment may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to remove the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. Any historic archaeological material that is not Native American in origin shall be curated at a public, non-profit institution with a research interest in the materials, such as the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County or the Fowler Museum, if such an institution agrees to accept the material. If no institution accepts the archaeological material, it shall be offered to a local school or historical society in the area for educational purposes. 85. Human Remains - Should human remains be discovered during Project construction, the Project would be required to comply with State Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, which states that no further disturbance may occur in the vicinity of the body until the County Coroner has made a determination of origin and disposition pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 5097.98. The County Coroner must be notified of the find immediately. If the remains are determined to be prehistoric, the Coroner will notify the Native American Heritage Commission, which will determine the identity of and notify a Most Likely Descendant (MLD). With the permission of the landowner or his/her authorized representative, the MLD may inspect the site of the discovery. The MLD must complete the inspection within 48 hours of notification by the NAHC. Paleontological 86. Incidental Discoveries - Prior to issuance of a grading permit, the City of Rosemead Planning Department shall verify that all Project grading and construction plans and specifications state that in the event that potential paleontological resources are discovered during excavation, grading, or construction activities, work shall cease within 50 feet of the find until a qualified paleontologist (i.e., a practicing paleontologist that is recognized in the paleontological community and is proficient in vertebrate paleontology) from the City or County List of Qualified Paleontologists has evaluated the find and established a protocol for addressing the find, in accordance with federal and state regulations. Construction personnel shall not collect or move any paleontological materials and associated materials. If any fossil remains are discovered, the paleontologist shall make a recommendation if monitoring shall be required for the continuance of earth moving activities, and shall provide such monitoring if required. Noise 87. Construction Vibration - Project plans and specifications shall include the requirement that that operation of any heavy equipment shall be prohibited within 15 feet of existing residences to the north and east. If heavy equipment is necessary within 15 feet of existing structures, the following measures shall be implemented: a. Identify structures that could be affected by ground -borne vibration and would be located within 15 feet of where heavy construction equipment would be used. This task shall be conducted by a qualified structural engineer as approved by the City's Director of Community Development or designee. b. Develop a vibration monitoring and construction contingency plan for approval by the City's Director of Community Development, or designee, to identify structures where monitoring would be conducted; set up a vibration monitoring schedule; define structure -specific vibration limits; and address the need to conduct photo, elevation, and crack surveys to document before and after construction conditions. Construction contingencies such as alternative methods or equipment that would generate lower vibration levels would be identified for when vibration levels approached the limits. c. At a minimum, monitor vibration during initial demolition activities. Monitoring results may indicate the need for more intensive measurements if vibration levels approach the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) threshold. d. When vibration levels approach the 0.2 PPV (in/sec) limit, suspend construction and implement contingencies identified in the approved vibration monitoring and construction contingency plan to either lower vibration levels or secure the affected structures. Aesthetics 88.
