NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Rosemead
as follows:
SECTION 1. The City Council HEREBY DETERMINES that Conditional Use Permit
96-668 is Categorically Exempt from environmental review as a Class 1 Exemption pursuant to
Section 15301(a) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This project proposes to
construct a 2,950 square foot residence. Section 15301 exempts projects that consist of
developing less than three residential units in an urban area.
SECTION 2. The City Council HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist
to justify approving Conditional Use Permit 96-668 according to the Criteria of Section 9181.1.36
of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows:
Resolution 96-60 .

A. That the granting of such conditional use permit will not adversely affect the
established character of the surrounding neighborhoods or be injurious to the property or
improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
FINDING: The subject site is a large residential lot measuring over 216-feet deep by
60-feet wide. There is currently a one-story, 1,253 square foot single family home on this 13,000
square foot lot. The applicant proposes to create a new 2,950 square foot home on the front
portion of the lot. Most of the homes in this area currently range in size from 1,300 to 1,600
square feet, with a few that are up to 2,800 square feet. Most of them are on lots that are 5,200
to 6,500 square feet in size. The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for this site will be 32.3% including the
existing 1,253 square foot house. The code allows up to 45% FAR. The proposal meets the other
development standards.
B. Architecture of the dwellings shall be consistent with and/or complementary to the
surrounding neighborhood to assure the neighborhood's integrity and the character of the community.
FINDING: The size of the proposed home would be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood. This is a larger lot that can support such a larger home. There will be a 25-foot
front yard setback with a large existing tree to remain. The house has been designed to step back
various parts of the home in order to create architectural relief from the massiveness. No new
area may be added to either unit without a modification review of the CUP by the Planning
Commission. The existing unit will need to be modified to provide a similar finish to the
building.
SECTION 3. The City Council HEREBY APPROVES Conditional Use Permit 96-668,
allowing development of a 2,950 square foot residence located at 3306 Bartlett Avenue, subject
to the conditions listed in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
PASSED AND APPROVED this 10th day of December, 1996.
