ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: OLIVER CHI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 20, 2007
SUBJECT: GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 07-04, ZONE CHANGE 07-227,
DESIGN REVIEW 07-146 AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 07-1101
LOCATED AT 9800-9804 VALLEY BOULEVARD
SUMMARY
Mr. Leo Wu has submitted applications for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change,
Conditional Use Permit and Design Review for approval of a 6,226 square-foot
retail/office building on three adjoining parcels. Two of the three parcels fronting Valley
Blvd are currently zoned C-3D (Medium Commercial with a Design Overlay) and
designated "Commercial" by the City's General Plan. The third parcel lies to the south
of the subject property, currently zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential zone) and is
designated "Low Density Residential" by the General Plan.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council ADOPT Ordinance No. 857, thereby
APPROVING General Plan Amendment 07-04, Zone Change 07-227, Conditional Use
Permit 07-1101, and Design Review 07-146, subject to the attached conditions.
ANALYSIS
The subject site is located at the southeast corner of Valley Boulevard and Strang
Avenue at the City's easterly boundary. The property is currently improved with several
structures, including a single family residence and accessory structures that were
constructed in 1942. The commercial facilities located at 9800 Valley Boulevard were
constructed in 1944 and consist of an auto repair facility that has been in business since
the 1970's. All structures on the property will be demolished in preparation for the new
development.
Although all three subject parcels are under the same ownership, the zoning and the
general plan designations split the property in half, thus making it infeasible to develop
with one single land use. Two of the parcels are designated for commercial, while the
third parcel is designated for residential use. Additionally, the third irregularly-shaped
parcel is zoned R-1 and does not meet current development standards. Amending the
general plan and the zoning designations to give this property potential for adaptive
commercial development is beneficial to the City and to the neighborhood.
APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: 0

The Zone Change request is to change the zoning designation of the irregularly-shaped
southern parcel from R-1 (Single Family Residential zone) to C-3D (Medium
Commercial zone with Design Overlay). The General Plan Amendment request is to
change the land use designation of the southern parcel from Low Density Residential to
Commercial to accommodate all three parcels under one land use designation.
Pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance, a Conditional Use Permit is required because the
proposed development is defined as a "mini-mall".
The subject site lies within a Design Overlay. Therefore, design review of the site plan,
floor plan, building elevations, and landscaping is required to assure an orderly project
that harmonizes with the surrounding neighborhood.
On September 17, 2007, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing.
After hearing all testimonies from the applicant and the public, the Commission
unanimously voted to recommend approval to the City Council.

Section 1. Pursuant to the City of Rosemead's CEQA Procedures and CEQA Guidelines, it
has been determined that the adoption of this ordinance will not have potential significant
environmental impacts. This conclusion is based upon the Lead Agency's determination that this
project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15303(c) of the

The City Council. having final approval authority over this project, has reviewed and considered all
comments received during the public review prior to the approval of this project. Furthermore, the
City Council has exercised its own discretionary and independent judgment in reaching the above
conclusion. The City Council, therefore. hereby approves the Notice of Exemption.
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations, Section 753.5(v)(1), the City Council has
determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed
project will have potential adverse effects on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the
wildlife depends. Furthermore, on the basis of substantial evidence, the City Council hereby finds
any presumption of adverse impact has been adequately rebutted. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and
Game Code Section 711.2 and Title XIV, California Code of Regulations, Section 735.5(a)(3), the
City Council finds that the project has a de minimis impact on Fish and Game resources.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Rosemead HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES
AND DECLARES that placing the subject property in the "Commercial" General Plan designation
and C-313 "Medium Commercial with Design Overlay" zone will provide an improved level of
planning and protection to the quality and character of the area where the development is proposed.
Section 3. The City Council FURTHER FINDS that General Plan Amendment 07-04 and
Zone Change 07-227 meet the City's goals and objectives as follows:
A. Land Use: General Plan Amendment 07-04 and Zone Change 07-227consist of amending the
General Plan land use designation for a property known as APN 8578-001-003 from "Low
Density Residential" to "Commercial" and change the existing zone from R-1 (Single Family
Residential) zone to C-3D (Medium Commercial with Design Overlay) zone. This
amendment will allow the proposed commercial development to be agglomerated in one
consistent General Plan designation and within one consistent zone. Agglomeration of the
proposed commercial use in one zone at the strategic intersection of Valley Blvd and Strang
Avenue is consistent with General Plan Policy 2.1 that encourages, through zoning and less
restrictive land use controls, agglomeration of commercial activities in small commercial
centers located at strategic intersections.
B. Circulation: This development is located on Valley Boulevard and Strang Avenue. Primary
access to the proposed retail/office facility will be via Strang Avenue. No new driveway is
proposed off of Valley Boulevard. Without the addition of new driveways on Valley Blvd,
free flow of vehicular traffic will be maintained along Valley Blvd.
C. Housing: Although a portion of the subject site is currently zoned R-I "Single Family
Residential", the proposed zone change and General Plan Amendment will not deplete

substantial available land for residential housing. The proposed General Plan Amendment
and Zone Change will affect the southerly parcel which cannot feasibly be developed with
residential uses because of its irregular shape, and does not meet current minimum R-1
development standards. Existing housing on the lot is surrounded by commercial uses and is
dilapidated. Therefore, the zone change and general plan amendment will not remove
potential land for single family residential development from the area.
D. Resource Management: The proposed mini-mall development will provide high quality
landscaping on-site and will not affect any natural resources in the area.
E. Noise: This development will not generate any significant noise levels for the surrounding
area. The site will be razed and a new 6-foot tall decorative CMU block wall will be
constructed along the south property line to protect the residential uses on the south side of
the subject property from residual commercial noise impacts and vehicular noise impacts.
Public Safety: The Fire and Sheriff Departments have reviewed the proposed plans. The site
is not located in any special study zones. The entire City of Rosemead is free from any flood
hazard designations.
G. CEQA Compliance: The City as a "Lead Agency" has determined that this project is exempt
from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15303(c), and a Notice of
Exemption has been prepared pursuant to CEQA guidelines.
Section 4. The City Council HEREBY APPROVES General Plan Amendment 07-04,
amending a portion of Rosemead General Plan Land Use Map from "Low Density Residential" to
"Commercial", Zone Change 07-227 changing a portion of Rosemead Zoning Map from R-1;
"Single Family Residential" to C-31); "Medium Commercial with Design Overlay", Design Review
07-146 approving architectural design of the project, and Conditional Use Permit 07-1101 for
development of a mini-mall totaling 6,226 square feet of retail/office space to be located at 9800-
9804 Valley Blvd.
Section 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or word of this ordinance is for any
reason held to be invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rosemead
HEREBY DECLARES that it would have passed and adopted Ordinance No. 857, and each and all
provisions thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more of said provisions may be declared to
be invalid.

Project Description
Leo Wu has submitted applications for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Change,
Conditional Use Permit, and Design Review for a 6,226 square-foot proposed
retail/office building affecting three adjoining parcels. Two of the three parcels contain
frontage along Valley Blvd. and are zoned C-3D (Medium Commercial with a Design
Overlay) with a Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. The third parcel lies
to the south and is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential). The Zone Change request is
to change the zoning designation of the southern parcel from R-1 to C-3D. The General
Plan Amendment request is to change the land use designation of the southern parcel
from Low Density Residential to Commercial.
A Conditional Use Permit is required because the proposed development is defined as
a "mini-mall" under the Zoning Ordinance, and is subject to specific development
standards.
Environmental Analysis
Section 15303(c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and local
environmental guidelines categorically exempts this project from further environmental
analysis because this project consists of a retail/office structure not exceeding 10,000
square feet of floor area on sites zoned for such use, if not involving the use of
significant amounts of hazardous substances where all necessary public services and
facilities are available and the surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. No
variances or exceptions are required. Accordingly, the project is classified as a Class 3
Categorical Exemption.

zoning practice justifies such action. A zone change must be found consistent with the
Rosemead General Plan.
Conditional Use Permit - Section 17.112.020.2 of the Rosemead Municipal
Code (RMC) allows mini-malls upon the granting of a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP).
• Section 17.112.010 sets the following criteria that must be met:
• That the Conditional Use Permit applied for is authorized by the provisions
of this title; and
• That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect
the established character of the surrounding neighborhood or be injurious
to the property or improvements in such vicinity and zone in which the
property is located; and
• That the establishment, maintenance or conduct of the use for which the
Conditional Use Permit is sought will not, under the particular case, be
detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or welfare
of persons residing or working in the neighborhood; and
• That the granting of such Conditional Use Permit will not adversely affect
the General Plan of the City.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission RECOMMEND APPROVAL to the
City Council of General Plan Amendment 07-04, Zone Change 07-227, Conditional Use
Permit 07-1101, and Design Review 07-146, subject to the conditions outlined in Exhibit
"A."
ANALYSIS
PROPERTY HISTORY & DESCRIPTION
The subject site is located at the southeast corner of Valley Boulevard and Strang
Avenue. The single family home and associated garage structures located at 3852
Strang Avenue were constructed in 1942. The structures located at 9800 Valley
Boulevard were constructed in 1944 and currently consist of an auto repair facility that
has been in business since the 1970's. All structures on all three properties will be
demolished in preparation for the new development.

Site & Surrounding Land Uses
The project consists of three adjoining parcels. Two of the three parcels contain
frontage along Valley Blvd. and are zoned C-3D (Medium Commercial with a Design
Overlay) with a Commercial General Plan Land Use designation. The third parcel lies
to the south and is zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential). The Zone Change request is
to change the zoning designation of the southern parcel from R-1 to C-31D. The General
Plan Amendment request is to change the land use designation of the southern parcel
from Low Density Residential to Commercial. The sites are surrounded by the following
land uses:
North:
General Plan: Commercial
Zoning: C-3d (Medium Commercial with Design Overlay)
Land Use: Commercial
South:
General Plan: Low Density Residential
Zoning: R-1 (Single Family Residential)
Land Use: Single Family residential
East:
General Plan: Los Angeles County Flood Control District
Zoning: Los Angeles County Flood Control District
Land Use: Los Angeles County Flood Control District
West:
General Plan: Commercial & Low Density Residential
Zoning: C-3D (Medium Commercial with Design Overlay) & R-1 (Single
Family Residential)
Land Use: Commercial & Single Family residential
ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS AND ANALYSIS
Site Plan
These properties are unique in the fact that they abut the existing Los Angeles Flood
Control District's (LAFCD) Eaton Wash to the east. The LAFCD owns rights to a 25-foot
wide access easement which traverses along a portion of each property adjacent to the
wash. The proposed development will encroach 9 feet into the easement along the
entire eastern boundary line and will consist of a row of parking spaces along with a
minimum 5-foot wide landscape buffer. The proposed two-story building will not
encroach into the easement. In addition, this encroachment will not interfere with the
16-foot wide maintenance road that the LAFCD uses to access the wash via Valley
Blvd.

Primary access to the retail/office facility will be via Strang Avenue. No driveway is
proposed off of Valley Blvd. The 1St floor of the two story structure will comprise of two
adjacent retail tenant suites that will face Valley Blvd. However, these suites do not
meet the minimum size or width requirements. The Zoning Ordinance requires that a
commercial tenant space must have a minimum width of 25 feet and consist of at least
1,000 square feet. The proposed floor plan illustrates two suites that do not meet either
requirement. Staff has added a condition requiring that the two retail spaces be
combined into one space that will comply with the Zoning Ordinance.
The project requires a total of 25 on-site parking spaces, and the applicant is proposing
the same. The majority of the surface lot parking spaces will be covered by the 2nd
floor. Access to the 2nd floor is via stairs or an elevator which leads to three large office
suites.
The applicant has created a significant perimeter landscape tract around the site and
has exceeded the minimum parking lot landscaping requirements. The Zoning
Ordinance requires a 3-foot tall decorative parking lot screen wall to buffer parking
spaces that lie adjacent to the street. Staff has added a condition requiring a revised
landscape plan illustrating the required decorative screen walls adjacent to Strang
Avenue.
All parking lot lights will be fully shielded to mitigate glare on adjacent residences to the
south and west.
A single trash enclosure will serve the site that has been designed to comply with City
requirements.
Elevations
The architecture consists of a contemporary vernacular with elements such as stucco,
vertical reveals, marble tile, and decorative pop-outs, along with a thick cornice that
anchors the building to the site. The street-facing elevations provide both vertical and
horizontal articulation by employing various parapet wall heights and by pushing the
taller portions of the facade back from the street. The focal point of the building is a
circular element that rises above the remaining portions of the structure that creates
balance and proportional massing for the corner.
Columns along the street frontages aide in recessing the storefront windows and the
entry doors for the street-level retail suites. These columns create shadow lines and
add interest to the elevations.
An existing single family residence lies to the south of the proposed project. Staff has
worked with the applicant in meeting the City's variable height requirement by revising
the south elevation through stepping the building back.

Commission decisions to the City Council.
2. PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Chairman Lopez asked if anyone would like to speak on any items not on the agenda, to step
forward.
Mr. Jim Flournoy of 8655 Landis View, a resident, stated he's not sure if the Planning
Commission knows that Councilman Gary Taylor has appealed the Garvey School
District/ELAC project. He said he thinks the Planning Commission did a great job at
making their decision. He also said he wanted them to know they were very fair. He
said the Walmart Super Center is up for a one year review in September. He also said
he passed out some items of things that should be reviewed, such as seismic and cart
issues. He then suggested that the Planning Commissioners schedule a field trip and
take pictures.

Staff Recommendation: APPROVE - subject to the conditions, for six (6) months.
Senior Planner Agaba stated the applicant was present and asked the Commissioners if they
have any questions.
Chairman Lopez opened the public hearing to those IN FAVOR of this application:
Mr. Victor Aguilar of 2440 Pine Street, the applicant, stated his family wishes to extend
this project. He said his mom has recently passed away and he hopes the Planning
Commission will approve the extension of this project.
Mr. Flournoy said he supports this approval. He also said staff needs to let people know
that they must submit plans with new building codes. He said there should be a cutoff
time and staff should notify applicants somewhere down the line.
Chairman Lopez questioned if there is a cutoff time for people submitting applications.
Senior Planner Agaba said as far as Planning, no, but he'll check with the Building
Division.
Chairman Lopez agreed.
Senior Planner Agaba said he will double check with the Building Division on the cutoff
date.
Chairman Lopez opened the public hearing to those who wished to OPPOSE the application:
None.
Chairman Lopez closed the public hearing to the public and opened the public hearing to the
Commissioners.
Commissioner Bevington said Mr. Flournoy raised a great question. He wanted to know
if a condition can be added to make sure that the new building codes do not override their
approval.
Chairman Lopez agreed. He said as he recalls, old projects are grandfathered into new
amendments.
Commissioner Bevington questioned if any change is needed to be updated, or if it's
okay the way that it is.
Senior Planner Agaba said it was deemed complete prior to the adoption of the new
ordinance, so it is grandfathered in.

approval for the transfer of an existing On-Sale General Public Premises (Type 48) ABC
license. The subject site is located at 8921 Valley Boulevard, in the CBD-D (Central

Senior Planner Agaba stated the minimum requirement is 10 feet.
Commissioner Bevington said the access for this driveway is 9.92 feet.

George said the issue is that it's an existing driveway and an existing use. He added,
from the circulation standpoint, the adjacent properties to the west and east are normally
closed by 6 or 7pm. He said the driveways of some of the uses along Valley Boulevard
are 6-7 feet substandard.
Commissioner Bevington said if code requirement is 10 feet minimum, he has no
objection. He said he just thought it was 12 feet.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka referred to Exhibit B and questioned if the applicant has a
reciprocal agreement to use the parking spaces adjacent to this property.
From the audience, Mr. Kevin Imamoto, the applicant, stated yes. He said they have
permission to use the upper spaces as well.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said he just wanted clarification. He said although people park
on Valley Boulevard, they aren't entitled to street parking.
Mr. Imamoto stated yes.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka made a motion to approve. He said although there is over
concentration, it's a transfer of an ABC license and there hasn't been any service calls
from the Sheriffs Department.
There being no one further wishing to address the Commission; Chairman Lopez closed the
public hearing segment for this project.

Senior Planner Agaba stated the applicant and representative were present and asked the
Commissioners if they had any questions.
Chairman Lopez opened the public hearing to anyone else IN FAVOR of this application:
Mr. Leo Wu of 67 E. Live Oak Avenue, Suite 201, Arcadia, the applicant and architect of
the project, thanked staff. He stated they accept all the conditions. He said there is one
point he wanted to point out. He said the shape of the lot is very unique. He also said all
articulation extends from the west to the east. He thinks the building is very important
because it's clearly exposed. He said this project will benefit Valley Blvd. and the City of
Rosemead.
Commissioner Bevington stated he doesn't think there's a driveway on Strang Avenue.
Mr. Wu stated there will only be one new driveway on Strang Avenue.
Commissioner Bevington stated there looks like there's no access for the LA County
flood channel easement.
Mr. Wu said the access for that easement will remain for access purposes only.
Commissioner Bevington questioned how they get access into the easement and parking
lot.
Mr. Wu said there is a driveway and a gate off Strang Avenue that accesses underneath
the new building.
Commissioner Bevington questioned if access is through Valley Boulevard.
Mr. Wu answered yes, for pedestrians.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka questioned if this project has been reviewed by the flood control
Mr. Wu stated yes.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka referred to Exhibit F, the project application and questioned why
#10 of the environmental application is marked no.
Senior Planner Agaba stated it's a standard application that they answer prior to
submittal. He said everything will be cleared up at final Building approval.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka referred to #12 regarding the Alquist-Priolo and #14 regarding
waste material and toxic substances of the environmental application and questioned if
their answers make a difference on what they check off.
Senior Planner Agaba said these questions are asked to make sure the applicant
provides upfront information. He said everything will be cleared prior to building permit

issuance.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said they are storing materials onsite and there is a possibility it
may leak.
Senior Planner Agaba stated through the building permit process, these issues are
reviewed.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka questioned if these items will be checked and considered as
factors.
Senior Planner Agaba stated yes.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka questioned condition 21, regarding water on the site.
Senior Planner Agaba stated this is a recommended condition from staff to make sure
the air quality impacts get resolved. He said staff wants to make sure the residential
properties to the south are not impacted by dust.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said he thinks we should have a stronger condition. He said
from his recollection, AQMD rule 403 requires no dust leaving the site. He said we want
to make sure dust doesn't leave the site, so a stronger condition should be written.
Senior Planner Agaba stated that can be added.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka referred to condition 22 on speed limit. He said it's a small site
and 5mph is more reasonable on the site.
Senior Planner Agaba stated it's a standard condition.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said he is curious on the south block wall that is bordering the
residential neighbors. He questioned if the applicant intends on installing that wall
because there is no condition added on that.
Senior Planner Agaba stated there is a proposal to the south.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said he believes that wall is to screen from the neighbors. He
said it should be required if the neighbors would like it.
Commissioner Bevington questioned condition 13 and the 2% requirement.
Senior Planner Agaba said he's not sure, he will clarify with the Building Division to make
sure they meet the ADA requirement.
Attorney Yin commented on Vice-Chairman Kunioka's comment. He said condition 27
should be added, which states a block wall along the south property line shall be
installed.

Senior Planner Agaba agreed.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka questioned if the applicant, in the future, decides to change the
retail use to office, would they be able to.
Senior Planner Agaba stated no. He said staff wants to make sure they are approved for
what they were approved for.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said this is an improvement to that corner. He stated he wants
to make sure it'll stay as retail and not change to office.
Commissioner Bevington said it looks like it'll be a welcoming addition to the city.
Senior Planner Agaba asked Vice-Chairman Kunioka to clarify the language on condition
21.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka stated he wants to make sure fugitive dust control mitigation is
consistent with AQMD rules. He said if they water twice a day and dust still leaves the
site, it means they're not consistent with AQMD.
Mr. Flournoy stated he thinks this will be a key project as it is an entrance to the City. He
questioned if there is anything coming for the site across the street.
Chairman Lopez stated staff will definitely do their work and make sure something comes
out of that.
Mr. Flournoy stated AQMD rule 403 should be there no matter what. He said the
Building Department has never enforced AQMD rule 403 or any other rule on dust. He
added, the building inspector should enforce this, but they don't. He said they should be
educated to do so and to enforce and follow through all conditions of approval.
Chairman Lopez refers the question to Attorney Yin regarding building inspection
enforcement.
Attorney Yin stated we can.
Chairman Lopez stated these things have to be taken care of.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka stated that is why he suggested that it is incorporated in the
conditions of approval.
Mr. Flournoy stated AQMD rule 403 covers a lot, besides just fugitive dust control. He
questioned if the path along Eaton Canyon Wash will be kept.
Chairman Lopez answered yes.
Mr. Flournoy stated toxic substances should be a condition of approval. He said if it's not
mentioned, the Building Department will not check on it.
Rosemead Planning Commission Meeting: September 17, 2007
Page 7 of 12
Chairman Lopez reiterated what Senior Planner Agaba said regarding how all the things
discussed are processes taken prior to building permit approval.
Mr. Flournoy said he's sure planning staff will do so, but building won't. He said
someone has to raise the flag.
Chairman Lopez asked Attorney Yin if something can be done to address that these
issues are taken care of.
Mr. Flournoy questioned if air conditioners have been discussed and where the
compressors will be located. He stated he doesn't like roof-mounted equipment.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka answered they are on the roof and shielded.
Senior Planner Agaba stated all equipment will be on the roof and staff will make sure it's
screened.
Mr. Flournoy stated roof-mounted equipment is noisy. He said staff needs to make sure
they use a specific kind of screening. Then he discussed about the block wall and
suggested that someone visits the CALTRANS website to obtain their designs that are
up to building code, in case of an earthquake. He said doing it from scratch is tough. He
said this project is not in the Alquist Priolo zone, but a Seismic Hazard Mapping Act
zone. He also said he thinks the City Geologist should review this project and find out
how the fault is. He said he suggests that a seismic hazard mapping analysis should be
done as well as a liquefaction test. He then asked the applicant if this is a conventional
construction,
Mr. Wu answered yes. He said it is wood frame.
Mr. Flournoy questioned if there is a development agreement.
Senior Planner Agaba answered no.
Mr. Flournoy ended by stating that he thinks this will be a great project.
Attorney Yin made a clarification regarding condition 21 to address Vice-Chairman
Kunioka's concern. He said the language should be, "During site grading, the site shall
be watered at least twice a day to reduce fugitive dust and shall meet all applicable
requirements and shall ensure consistency with AQMD rules and regulations."
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said that works for him.
Attorney Yin said with regards to the other concerns raised, we will remind the
Engineering Department.
Mr. Brian Lewin of 9501 Ralph Street, a resident, stated he thinks this project will be
really good. He said that part of Valley Boulevard is blighted. He questioned where the

highly reflective material will be used.
Mr. Wu stated its storefront material for the windows facing Valley Boulevard.
Mr. Lewin said he is concerned, since its extremely reflective material.
Mr. Wu answered no.
Mr. Lewin said with sunset, it will reflect light.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said it won't be a problem, since the sun won't reflect off the
window.
Mr. Lewin said he's just concerned about that, everything else is great.
Chairman Lopez asked Mr. Wu if he wanted to answer any questions that were raised.
Mr. Wu stated they will accept all the conditions, including the revised condition 21 and
installing a block wall along the south property line.
Mr. Flournoy questioned why this project is going to City Council, even after it's approved
by the Planning Commission.
Chairman Lopez answered because of the zone change.
Chairman Lopez opened the public hearing to those who wished to OPPOSE the application:
None.
There being no one further wishing to address the Commission; Chairman Lopez closed the
public hearing segment for this project.
MOTION BY VICE-CHAIRMAN KUNIOKA, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER VUU, to

A. A pproval of Minutes - September 5, 2007
Commissioner Bevington stated he would like to pull the minutes. He stated on the last
paragraph of page 10, it says, " He said he wants to clarify that the Commissioners
did not recuse. He said the Planning Commissioners suggested that the applicant and
neighbors meet to clarify their concerns.
Vice-Chairman questioned if we can clarify this statement in today's minutes.
Commissioner Bevington said he wants to clarify that the Commission just wanted them to
come up with a compromise.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka stated that the Commission can move for approval of the
minutes, but with the understanding that this is not a precedent to be used in the future.
Attorney Yin agreed.
B. Resolution No. 07-46 - A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF ROSEMEAD APPROVING COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 062930 AND CONDITIONAL USE
PERMITS 05-1041 THROUGH 05-1046, REQUESTING TO SUBDIVIDE TWO EXISTING
PARCELS INTO SIX (6) PARCELS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SIX (6) NEW SINGLE
FAMILY HOMES, ALL OF WHICH MEET OR EXCEED 2,500 SQUARE FEET OF LIVING
AREA, LOCATED AT 3832 & 3840 CHARLOTTE AVENUE IN THE R-1 (SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL) ZONE (APNS: 5371-006-062, 5371-005-036).
Chairman Lopez called Mr. Flournoy to speak.
Mr. Flournoy questioned the preservation of trees. He said he is concerned they will
remove the big tree in the front.
Chairman Lopez stated some trees will be preserved and some will be removed.
Senior Planner Agaba stated he thinks the big tree will be removed. He said when the
map is recorded; they will bring in the final landscaping plans.
Mr. Flournoy stated it is unacceptable for them to remove the tree.
Senior Planner Agaba stated the plot plan will probably be the same during the Building
plan check. He said he doesn't have the plans with him, but basically, the Planning
Division will still approve the same plan.
Mr. Flournoy asked if the tree is staying or going.
Senior Planner Agaba stated the planner that reviews the project will determine that.

Vice-Chairman Kunioka said it's not an oak tree, and it's their tree. We can't regulate big
trees on people's property.
Mr. Flournoy then discussed about the setbacks of the second floor and said a structural
engineer should be required to look at this.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka said he's pretty sure it's a misunderstanding. He said when they
say a 17-foot setback; they mean 17-feet from the property line.
Mr. Flournoy stated over 4 feet requires a structural engineer to review. He then said the
project is close to two earthquake faults and a condition should be added to reference
that.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka stated general requirement is for sideyards to be setback 5-feet
minimum.
Mr. Flournoy said that is a problem.
Senior Planner Agaba stated since it's a 6-lot subdivision, he thinks the Building
Department will require a structural engineer to look at this project.
Commissioner Vuu said every plan that goes through the Building, Department is required
to have a structural engineer to look at it.
Chairman Lopez asked for a motion for approval of the other items on the Consent Calendar.

MATTERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN & COMMISSIONERS
Commissioner Vuu said he has comments regarding Vice-Chairman Kunioka's concern on
the mitigation of dusts. He said it's called erosion control and Building does address those
issues. He said Building Department must look at structural. He said they look beyond the
Planning Department. He said Building Department does look into dust mitigation.
Vice-Chairman Kunioka thanked Commissioner Vuu for the clarification.
