Located at 8657 GrandPC RESOLUTION 24-11 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, APPROVING DESIGN REVIEW 24-01, FOR A NEW TWO-STORY 14,148 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDING AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS WHICH INCLUDES THE REHABILITATION OF THE EXISTING OFFICE BUILDING FRONTING GRAND AVENUE, PARKING LOT, LANDSCAPING, FENCING/WALLS, AND INSTALLATION OF NEW LIGHTING. THE SUBJECT SITE IS LOCATED AT 8657 GRAND AVENUE (APN: 5389-007-017) IN THE LIGHT MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRIAL (M-1) ZONE. WHEREAS, on February 8, 2024, California American Water submitted a Design Review application requesting approval to construct a new two-story 14,148 square foot administrative office building, in addition to various site improvements such as the rehabilitation of the existing office building along Grand Avenue, parking lot, landscaping, fencing/walls, and new lighting. WHEREAS, 8657 Grand Avenue is located in the Light Manufacturing and Industrial (M-1) zone; WHEREAS, Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code provides the criteria for a Design Review; WHEREAS, Sections 65800 & 65900 of the California Government Code and Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code authorize the Planning Commission to approve, conditionally approve, or deny Design Review applications; WHEREAS, on December 19, 2024, one -hundred and ten (110) notices were sent to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject property, the notice was published in the Rosemead Reader, and notices were posted in five (5) public locations and on site, specifying the availability of the application, and the date, time, and location of the public hearing for Design Review 24-01; WHEREAS, on January 6, 2025, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed and advertised public hearing to receive oral and written testimony relative to Design Review 24-01; and WHEREAS, the Rosemead Planning Commission has sufficiently considered all testimony presented to them in order to make the following determination. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Planning Commission of the City of Rosemead as follows: SECTION 1. The Planning Commission HEREBY DETERMINES that Design Review 24-01 is classified as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines. Section 15332 of the California Environmental Quality Act exempts projects characterized as in -fill development if the project meets the following conditions: 1) The project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations; The Rosemead General Plan land use designation for the project site is Office/Light Industrial and the project site is zoned Light Manufacturing (M-1). The project is consistent with the applicable General Plan Land Use designation and all applicable General Plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designation and regulations as utility and office uses are permitted by -right. 2) The proposed development occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; The project site is approximately 3.96 acres and is located within the City of Rosemead's municipal boundaries. The project site is surrounded by urban uses. Specifically, it is bounded by AT&T's Construction Department Office to west, Southern Pacific Railroad to the north, and residential use to the east and south. The surrounding areas extending further north, east, south and west of the project site are characterized by a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses, such as single-family dwellings, nurseries, utility substations, and offices. 3) The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species; The project site has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species as it has been operational for more than 10 years and has been completely developed with office buildings, a paved surface parking lot, and other site improvements. There is no habitat on the project site to support any endangered, rare, or threatened wildlife species, and there are no wetlands, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities either on or adjacent to the project site. In addition, there are no plants or wildlife on the project site that are designated or would qualify as a sensitive or special status specie in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations by the California Department of Fish and Game or the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services. 4) Approval of the project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality, and; Traffic The project site currently has 37 employees and will maintain the same number of employees during and after construction. The operation center operates between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 5:30 P.M., Monday through Friday and is closed on weekends. The project is not expected to result in any substantial increase in the site's traffic generation and the project can be expected to result in a nominal if not zero change in trip generation. Hence, it can be concluded that the project screens out for significant VMT impacts and is found to have a less than significant VMT effect on the circulation system and roadway network. Noise Both the construction and operation of the project will comply with all requirements of Rosemead Municipal Code (RMC), Chapter 8.36 — Noise Control. A condition of approval has been incorporated to ensure all noise abides by RMC, Chapter 8.36. Therefore, the project will not cause significant noise impacts. Air Quality Employee vehicle trips will be the primary source of emissions associated with the project's operations. The operation center will maintain the same number of employees during and after construction, so any emissions from operation of the project will be well below South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) thresholds. A condition of approval has been incorporated requiring all project construction to comply with all applicable SCAQMD and city standards regarding construction equipment and fugitive dust to minimize any air quality impacts. Therefore, the project will not cause significant air quality impacts. Water Quality The project will include an extensive on-site filtration and below -grade stormwater detention system. By reducing the amount of runoff that will be generated from the project site, the project will reduce and have a less than significant impact on erosion or siltation, both onsite and offsite. Preparation and compliance with the standard Urban Stormwater Mitigation Plan and all applicable best management practices will ensure that the project meets all applicable water quality and water discharge requirements and has no significant water quality impacts. The new and improved landscape areas throughout the site will allow for onsite percolation and filtration of storm water and reduce the amount of surface water runoff that is generated from the project site. 5) The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services. The project site is already served by Southern California Edison (electricity), the Southern California Gas Company (gas) and California American Water (water). Sanitary sewer service is provided by the City of Rosemead in collaboration with the Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. Recycling and waste collection are provided by Republic Services, Inc. The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department (Temple Station) and Los Angeles County Fire Department (Station 42) provide emergency response services. The project site will continue to be adequately served by all agencies going forward. SECTION 2. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that facts do exist to justify approving Design Review 24-01, in accordance with Section 17.28.020(C) of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: FINDING 1: The plans indicate proper consideration for the relationship between the proposed building and site developments that exist or have been approved for the general neighborhood. FACT: The project site is located within an established area that currently serves several utility companies such as Southern California Edison, AT&T, and California American Water. The project site is adjacent to AT&T's construction offices, which contain a two-story building. Proper consideration has been taken to alleviate bulk and mass as the proposed office building is setback approximately 147 feet from the front property line and located behind an existing one-story office building. In addition, the applicant has provided an aesthetically complementary design, which consists of a modern design, high-quality materials, and earth -toned colors. The proposed office building, in addition to the various site improvements, would improve the overall aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood and be complementary to the existing developments in the vicinity. FINDING 2: The plan for the proposed structure and site development indicates the manner in which the proposed development and surrounding properties are protected against noise, vibrations, and other factors which may have an adverse effect on the environment, and the manner of screening mechanical equipment and trash, storage and loading areas. FACT: The proposed office building in addition to the various site improvements would not modify the existing office building and utility use of the project site as the number of employees and daily operations will remain. In addition, while there are no front, side, or rear yard setback requirements for the new office building, all proposed setbacks substantially exceed the minimum requirements. The office building will be located approximately 147 feet from the front property line, 156 and 32 feet from the east and west side property lines, respectively, and 75 feet away from the rear property line. All construction work would comply with the timeframe and decibel levels indicated in the City of Rosemead Noise Ordinance. Conditions of approval will address factors such as construction hours, noise, landscaping, screening of mechanical equipment, trash, storage and loading areas. In addition, a condition of approval has also been incorporated to ensure a Construction Management Plan is submitted for review and approval by the Planning Division, Building and Safety Division, and Public Works Department. As such, the proposed project would not produce any foreseeable adverse impacts. FINDING 3: The proposed building or site development is not, in its exterior design and appearance, so at variance with the appearance of other existing buildings or site developments in the neighborhood as to cause the nature of the local environment to materially depreciate in appearance and value. FACT: The proposed office building, in addition to the various site improvements, would not depreciate the appearance and value of the local environment. Staff worked closely with the applicant to achieve a modern design that would complement existing developments in the surrounding neighborhood and create visual interest at the street level by incorporating high-quality materials such as metal and aluminum panels, split - face CMU, and an earth tone color scheme, as some of these design elements are present in the surrounding office buildings and residential homes. In addition, various site improvements such as the rehabilitation of the existing office building along Grand Avenue, parking lot, landscaping, fencing/walls, and new lighting, would improve the appearance of the local environment. FINDING 4: The proposed building or structure is in harmony with the proposed developments on land in the general area, especially those instances where buildings are within or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part of the Civic Center or in public or educational use, or are within or immediately adjacent to land included within any precise plan which indicates building shape, size, or style. FACT: The project site is not located in or adjacent to land shown on the General Plan as being part of the Civic Center or in public or education use, or land in any precise plan which indicates building shape, size, or style. Staff worked closely with the applicant to achieve a modern design that would be in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood as the incorporation of high-quality materials such as metal and aluminum panels, split - face CMU block, and an earth tone color scheme, are all design elements that are present in the surrounding office buildings and residential homes in the neighborhood. In addition, various site improvements such as the rehabilitation of the existing office building along Grand Avenue, parking lot, landscaping, fencing/walls, and new lighting, would improve the appearance of the local environment. FINDING 5: The proposed development is in conformity with the standards of this Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. FACT: The proposed project consists of the construction of a new two-story office building in addition to the various site improvements and would not modify the existing use. The incorporation of high-quality materials such as metal and aluminum panels, split - face CMU, and an earth tone color scheme are present in the surrounding office buildings and residential homes in the neighborhood. In addition, while there are no front, side, or rear yard setback requirements for the new office building, all proposed setbacks substantially exceed the minimum requirements. The office building will be located approximately 147 feet from the front property line, 156 and 32 feet from the east and west side property lines, respectively, and 75 feet away from the rear property line. The project will also exceed the minimum parking requirements with a surplus of one off-street parking space. As such, the proposed project would be in conformity with the standards of the Zoning Code and other applicable ordinances in so far as the location and appearance of the buildings and structures are involved. FINDING 6: The site plan and the design of the buildings, parking areas, signs, landscaping, luminaries, and other site features indicate that proper consideration has been given to both the functional aspects of the site development, such as automobile and pedestrian circulation, and the visual effect of the development from the view of public streets. FACT: The project consists of the construction of a new two-story office building with various site improvements such as the rehabilitation of the existing office building fronting Grand Avenue, parking lot, landscaping, fencing/walls, and new lighting. The design and construction of this project would preserve and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic as access would still be along Grand Avenue. While there are no front, side, or rear yard setback requirements for the new office building, all proposed setbacks substantially exceed the minimum requirements, which will alleviate the bulk and mass of the office building from the view of public streets. Conditions of approval are incorporated to address lighting, landscaping, off-street parking, and signage. As such, the proposed design of office building and site improvements would produce a visually pleasing effect of the development from view on Grand Avenue. SECTION 3. The Planning Commission HEREBY APPROVES Design Review 24- 01, permitting a new two-story 14,148 square foot office building with various site improvements located at 8657 Grand Avenue, and subject to the conditions listed in Attachment "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
