THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD HEREBY ORDAINS AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The CITY COUNCIL HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts
do exist to justify approving Planned Development Review 22-01 in accordance with Rosemead
Municipal Code Section 17.24.040 and 17.152.060(B) as follows:
A. The proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan.
FINDING: According to the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table in
the General Plan, the P -D zone is a corresponding zoning district to the Medium Density
Residential land use designation. For this reason, the proposed amendment is consistent with the
General Plan. In addition, the subject site is not located in a specific plan area.
B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
convenience, or welfare of the City.
FINDING: The P -D district is intended to provide for developments that are
characterized by innovative use and design concepts. This zone provides for a new development
to offer amenities, quality, design excellence and other similar benefits to the community and
not be inhibited by strict numerical development standards. The subject site is located in a
residential neighborhood and will continue as a residential use, therefore, the development of 37
residential units 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 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 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.
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 Zone Change 22-01 in accordance with Rosemead Municipal Code
Section 17.152.060(B) as follows:
A. The amendment is internally consistent with all other provisions of the General
Plan.
FINDING: The proposed zone change will amend the Zoning Map of the subject site from
the R -I to P -D zone. In addition, the proposed amendment will change the land use designation of
the subject parcel from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. According to
the General Plan and Zoning Ordinance Consistency Table in the General Plan, the P -D zone is a
corresponding zoning district to the Medium Density Residential land use designation. For this
reason, the proposed amendment is consistent with the General Plan. In addition, the subject site
is not located in a specific plan area
B. The proposed amendment will not be detrimental to the public interest, health,
safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.
FINDING: The existing zone of the subject site is R-1. The subject site consists of three
vacant parcels totaling approximately 3.378 acres of land. The proposed amendment would change
the zone from R -I to P -D for the construction of 37 residential units. The subject site is located in
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 zone change to a P -D zone is physically suitable for a 3.378 acre
site. The subject site is currently surrounding by a majority of residential uses. The proposed
residential units would not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property
or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located.
In addition, 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 3. The City Council HEREBY AMENDS the City's Zoning Map to change
the zone of 8601 Mission Drive from R-1 to P -D.

Mitigation Measure Conditions
Biological Resources
82. Migratory Bird Treaty Act - Prior to commencement of grading activities, the City
Building Department, shall verify that in the event that vegetation and tree removal activities
occur within the active breeding season for birds (February 1—September 15), the Project
applicant (or their Construction Contractor) shall retain a qualified biologist (meaning a
professional biologist that is familiar with local birds and their nesting behaviors) to conduct
a nesting bird survey no more than 3 days prior to commencement of construction
activities. 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 Gabrieleno 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 gravelburial 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 [fl). 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.
