CC - Item 2A - Ordinance 834 - approving zone change 03-217 and tentative tract map 60158 - 8470 Mission DriveTO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL FROM: BILL CRO E, CITY MANAGER DATE: AUGUST 10; 2004 SUBJECT: ORDINANCE NO. 834 APPROVING ZONE CHANGE 03 -217 AND TENTATIVE TRACT MAP 60158 — 8470 MISSION DRIVE INTRODUCTION On June 21, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map for property located at 8470 Mission Drive. A copy of the staff report providing a detailed analysis of the project is attached for your review. After hearing all testimony, the Commission voted 5 -0 to recommend City Council approval of Zone Change 03- 217. The proposal includes a Zone Change from R -1; "Single Family Residential' to PD; "Planned Development', located at 8470 Mission Drive. The existing land uses on all four (4) parcels are single- family residential. ANALYSIS The applicant is proposing this zone change so that the subject properties may be subdivided into thirteen (13) lots and developed with single- family residences in accordance with the standards of the PD; "Planned Development' zone. This zone change will allow for adjustments to the minimum lot size and development standards for single - family residential developments. The proposed lots would range in size from 5,002 square feet to 7,506 square feet with the average lot consisting of approximately 5,460 square feet; and they meet the density for Low Density Residential (0 — 7 units per acre). The project is designed at 6.8 dwelling units per acre, including the private street area. The proposed residences will have between 2,250 and 2,340 square feet of floor area and four (4) different residential designs. The applicant has held several community meetings for the nearby neighbors to discuss the proposal and any potential concerns regarding the project. Many of the residents were concerned about drainage and how any runoff would be diverted to avoid flowing onto Turpin Street and AUG 10 2004 Rosemead Citv Council August 10, 2004 Page 2 of 2 ; Halkett Avenue. The applicant is proposing to obtain a permit from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (LACDPW) for a connection of the proposed drainage system to the existing storm drain in Mission Drive. The City of Rosemead City Engineer also imposed a condition that if the proposed storm drain connection is not permitted by LACDPW, the drainage from the entire site shall be directed to Earle Avenue by means of an approved drainage easement; and if this option is not feasible, the developer may pump storm flows onto Mission Drive, however, this will require construction of a cross - gutter at Halkett Avenue. During the Planning Commission Meeting held on June 21, 2004, there was no neighborhood opposition and no appeal of the Commission's decision was received. The Planning Commission approved a total of 62 conditions at the time of Tentative Tract Map approval from the Planning Department and the City Engineer. In order for the project to proceed, the zone change and tract map must be considered by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions: 1. INTRODUCE Ordinance No. 834 APPROVING Zone Change 03 -217, AMENDING the Rosemead Zoning designation from R -1; "Single Family Residential" to PD; "Planned Development ". 2. ADOPT a NEGATIVE DECLARATION finding that this project will not have any adverse effects on the environment. .ATTACHMENTS: EXHIBIT A — Planning Commission Staff Report, dated June 21, 2004.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the City Council of the City of Rosemead as follows: Ordinance No. 834 Zone Change 03 -217, Tentative Tract Map 60158 Page 2 of 6 Section 1. Pursuant to the City of Rosemead's CEQA Procedures and State CEQA Guidelines, it has been determined that the adoption of this ordinance will have not have potential significant environmental impacts. This conclusion is based upon the record, initial study and comments received during the public review period. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared according to CEQA. The City Council, having final approval authority over this project, has reviewed and considered any comments received during the public review prior to the approval of this project. Furthermore, the City Council has exercised its own independent judgment in reaching the above conclusion. The City Council, therefore, approves the Negative Declaration. Pursuant to.Title XIV, California Code of Regulation, 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 the potential for adverse effect on the 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 and therefore the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 2. The City Council HEREBY FINDS, DETERMINES AND DECLARES that placing the property in the "PD; Planned Development" zone (Zone Change 03 -217) is in the public interest and necessity and general welfare, and good city planning practice dictates and supports the proposed zone change, in that the change to the "PD; Planned Development" zone will provide a superior 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 Zone Change 03 -217 and Tentative Tract Map 60158 meet the City's goals and objectives as follows: A. Land Use: The General Plan designation will remain Low- Density Residential and will allow for the proposed residential properties to be consistent with City codes and land uses in the surrounding area. The density allowed in the General Plan is 0 -7 units per acre. This development is designed at 6.8 units per acre. B. Circulation: The subject area is located on Mission Drive in a single- family residential area west of Walnut Grove Avenue and east of Earle Avenue on the south side of the street. The units will have vehicular access via a private drive aisle that will only service the occupants of the units. Mission Drive is a secondary arterial in The City of Rosemead and the number of trips created from thirteen (13) single- family homes will not significantly increase the traffic along Mission Drive. Ordinance No. 834 Zone Change 03 -217, Tentative Tract Map 60158 Page 3 of 6 C. Housing: The proposed Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map will create thirteen (13) additional units. Two of the current parcels are vacant and the remaining two are currently occupied with single - family units. This development will provide needed residential opportunities in the City and will not displace significant numbers of residents and will not have any impacts on housing. The proposed use of the properties will remain residential allowing the properties to be compatible with the Zoning Code and General Plan. D. Resource Management: No resources will be impacted, because the use of the subject properties is for single- family residences and will remain residential in nature with the adoption of these entitlements E. Noise: This development will not generate any permanent impacts to noise levels for the surrounding area. The proposed project will result in additional pedestrian and vehicular traffic noises, but is not considered to be substantial. There will be a temporary increase in ambient noise levels above the existing levels due to construction activities. An initial study was completed and its findings have determined that this development could not have a significant effect on the envirorinent. F. Public Safetv: There will be not be a significant increase in population or density as a result of the Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map, so the need for more public safety and public areas is not impacted. The entire City of Rosemead is located. in Flood Zone C (flood insurance is not mandatory) and is free from any flood hazard designations. G. CE A: The'City staff has prepared an initial study pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This study has determined that the proposed zoning amendments could not have any potential significant impacts on the environment. Therefore, staff has prepared and recommends adoption of a Negative Declaration. Section 4. The City Council FURTHER FINDS that facts do exist to justify approving Tentative Tract Map 60158; according to the criteria of Section 16.04 of the Rosemead Municipal Code as follows: A. The proposed division will .not be materially. detrimental to the public welfare nor injurious to the property or improvements in the immediate vicinity; FINDING: All necessary public improvements will be made prior to the construction of the five proposed residential units. These improvements will be made in front where the access is located when developed. Ordinance No. 834 Zone Change 03 -217, Tentative Tract Map 60158 Page 4 of 6 B. The proposed division will not be contrary to any official plan adopted by the City Council of The City of Rosemead; or to any official policies or standards adopted by the City Council and on file in the office of the City Clerk at or prior to the time of filing of the application . hereunder. FINDING: The site is designated for the proper land use designations to permit such a development. The proposed zone change provides for a density of 6.8 units per acre. C. Each proposed parcel conforms in area and dimension to the provisions of zoning and subdivision requirements of The City of Rosemead. FINDING: The "PD; Planned Development' does not have a minimum lot size, but the proposal has been designed to have lot sizes comparable with the surrounding residences in the "R -1; Single - Family Residential" zone. This zone change will allow for adjustments to the minimum lot size and development standards for single - family residential developments. The proposed lots would range in size from 5,002 square feet to 7,506 square feet with the average lot consisting of approximately 5,460 square feet. D. All streets, alleys and driveways proposed to serve the property have been dedicated or such dedication is not required for the protection of public safety, health and welfare and that such streets, alleys and driveways are of sufficient width, design and construction to preserve the public safety and to provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. FINDING: The City Engineer has reviewed this proposed subdivision relative to the adjacent right -of -way. Access to the proposed parcels is off of a private driveway from Mission Drive, which is a fully improved secondary arterial. The private common driveway has been reviewed by the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Based on these reviews, it is determined that the design and construction of this project would preserve the public safety and provide adequate access and circulation for vehicular and pedestrian traffic. E. Alley easements and covenants required for the approval of the Tentative Map or plot have been duly executed and recorded. FINDING: Prior to recordation of the filial tract map, the applicant is required to record a covenant for ingress and egress, utility and drainage easement, fire lane, and the installation of parkway area, as required by the City Engineer.

Theapplicant has taken the character of the surrounding neighborhood into consideration in the design of the proposed homes. The proposed exteriors are light earthtone and gray colors that will soften the "looming" presence that a larger development has the potential to create in a single - family neighborhood. Also, architectural elements have been added to eliminate impacts of two -story homes that the proposed project may have on surrounding properties. The applicant has proposed eat thtone exterior color combinations for each unit in the following: Lots 1, 3, 5 & 7 (Plan 1 /Elevation A): The color and material of the main body of the units will be La Habra Stucco X -81 in "Oatmeal" with a Santa Barbara Mission finish. The fascia will be Dunn Edwards "Lost Summit" and the accent shutters will be Resawn Wood Shutters in "Marsh Maverick ". The roofing material will be the Eagle Ponderosa flat tile in the gray /brown blend. The stone veneer for the base of the units is a Cultured Slone Product in "Aspen Country Ledgestone ". Lots 2, 4 & 6 (Plan 1 /Elevation B): The color and material of the main body of the unit will be La Habra Stucco X -81 in "Pure Ivory' with a Santa Barbara Mission finish. The exposed rafter tails will be Drum Edwards "Hawk Brown' and the accent shutter will be Resawn Wood Shutters in "Volcanic ". The roofing material will be. Capistrano Mission S Tile in "Caliente ". Lots 8, 10 & 12 (Plan 2 /Elevation A): The color and material of the main body of the units will be La Habra Stucco X -81 in "Oatmeal" with a Santa Barbara Mission finish. The fascia will be Dunn Edwards "Lost Summit' and the accent shutters will be Resawn Wood Shutters in "Marsh Maverick ". The roofing material will be the Eagle Ponderosa flat tile in the gray /brown blend. The stone veneer for the base of the units is a Cultured S.tone Product in "Aspen Country Ledgestone ". Lots 9, 11 & 13: (Plan 2 /Elevation B): The color and material of the main body of the unit will be La Habra Stucco X -81 in "Pure Ivory" with a Santa Barbara Mission finish. The exposed rafter tails will be Dunn Edwards "Hawk Brown' and the accent shutter will be Resawn Wood Shutters in "Volcanic". The roofing material will be Capistrano Mission S Tile in "Caliente ". The colored renderings of the elevations will be available to view at the Planning Commission Meeting. Gradin — The site currently has a natural north to south slope. This is lot has historically had this gradual slope and has drained in this manner. To provide adequate drainage for the site after .development, the applicant is proposing to use a combination of fill and pump techniques. Originally, the applicant proposed to have an casement through some abutting properties on Earle Avenue for drainage, but no agreements could be arranged; as a result the applicant is proposing to construct catch basin and sump pump system that will connect directly to an underground County storm drain in Mission Drive.. This will be constructed near the end of the common driveway near Lot 8. This will divert water from entering on properties located on Earle and Turpin Avenues. If . the County does not approve the connection, the developer may be required to pump the flow onto the street; therefore a swale along Halkett Avenue may be constructed so all drainage flows down Mission Drive to Walnut Grove Avenue. The new swale will eliminate excessive drainage onto Halkett Avenue, which has had problems with overflow in the past. Landscaping and Fencing — Each residence will include new landscaping with a combination of trees, shrubs, and sod. Each lot will have a combination of 15- gallon and 24" box trees in the front yard as well as low growing flowers and shrubs. The landscape plan indicates that there will be a mixture of Camphor Trees (Cinnamomum Camphora), Purple Leaf Plums (Prunus C. Krater Vesuvius), Crape Myrtles (Lagerstroemia I» dica) and a minimum of one Coast Live Oak (Quercus Agri folia) per lot. There arc two existing mature Heritage oak trees on the subject property. One of the trees is located on the westerly portion of the development in the public right -of -way and the other is located on the easterly property line of Lot 1. A variety of plants and ground covers have been chosen to create colorful front yards along the private driveway and looking from Mission Drive, such as Day Lilies, Pink Abella, Indian Hawthorne, Star Jasmine and a tall fescue mix for the grass. Although the rear yard areas will be individually landscaped by the property owner, the land will be prepared for landscaping by the developer. Each parcel will be equipped with an irrigation system including automatic timers and moisture sensors. A 6 -foot high decorative concrete block wall will surround the entire perimeter of the proposed subdivision. Areas within the front yard setbacks will be reduced to a 4 -foot high decorative concrete block wall. All existing fencing will be removed and replaced with the proposed block wall to provide a consistent look throughout the development. . Neighborhood Character - In comparison to surrounding residences, development on the subject site would be greater.. However, the proposed homes are consistent with the trend in new housing development in constructing larger homes that maximize lot areas. These homes are smaller than similarly approved project throughout The City of Rosemead. Staff has worked with the developer in designing a project that will create new single - family housing in the City without detracting from the character of the existing surrounding neighborhood. In addition, adverse impacts to the character of the surrounding neighborhood will be mitigated and architectural interest is added to the project by varying roof ridgelines, setting the second story further back than the first, tile roofing, cultured stone veneer and other aesthetically pleasing elements. Overall, staff feels that the addition of this residential development will increase property values and the general aesthetics of the neighborhood. VI.

EXHIBIT C ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, involving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. ❑ Aesthetics ❑ Noise ❑ Biological Resources ❑ Recreation D Hazards & Hazardous Materials ❑ Mandatory Findings of ❑ Mineral Resources Significance ❑ Public Services ❑ Air Quality . ❑ Utilities / Service Systems ❑ Geology / Soils ❑ Agriculture Resources ❑ Land use / Planning ❑ Cultural Resomccs ❑ Population / Housing D Hydrology /Water Quality ❑ Transportation / Traffic ,DETERMINATION. On the basis of this initial evaluation: Q I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. D I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions in the project have been made by or agreed to by the project proponent. A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. ❑ I find that the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,. and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. ❑ I find that the proposed project may have a "potentially significant impact" or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the environment, but at least one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An ENVIRONMENTAL MPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. ❑ 1 find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, because all potentially significant effects (a) have been analyzed. adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revision or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. . Signature Date Printed Name For EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS I. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers'diat are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact' answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g., the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" answer should be explained where it is based on.project- specific factors as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project - specific screening analysis). 2. All answers must take account of the whole action involved, including off -site as well as on -site, cumulative as well as project - level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational impacts. 3. Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation, or less than significant. "Potentially Significant Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more `Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, all EIR is required. 4. "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from `Potentially Significant Impact" to a "Less Than Significant Impact." "file lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation from Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses ", may be cross - referenced). 5. Earlier analysis may be used where, pursuant to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, an effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063 (c) (3) (D). Earlier analyses are discussed in Section 17 at the end of the. checklist. 6. Lead agencies are encouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plans, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. 7. Supporting Information Sources: A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different ones. 9. The analysis of each issue should identify: (a) the significance criteria or threshold used to evaluate each question; and (b) the mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant. SECTION TWO INTRODUCTION Purpose The City of Rosemead has prepared this Initial Study for the purpose of identifying and evaluating the potential environmental impacts that could occur as a result of the proposed zone change and thirteen (13) parcel subdivision and development. It is the intent of this environmental document to address, to the extent foreseeable, the potential environmental impacts that could be expected to occur with this project. in addition, this evaluation will serve, to determine the level of envirommental analysis required to adequately prepare and adopt a Negative Declaration, and will provide the basis for input from members of the public and public agencies. Pursuant to Sections 15050, 15051, and 15367 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the City of Rosemead is the Lead Agency in the preparation of this initial Study, and any additional environmental documentation required for the project., The remainder of this section provides the characteristics of the proposed project and a . description of the project location. Section Three of this initial study includes an environmental checklist that gives an overview of the potential impacts to the environment that may result from project implementation. Section Four elaborates on the information contained in the environmental checklist, providing justification for the responses provided in the environmental checklist. Project Summa Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 proposes a zone change from R -1; Single Family Residential to P -D; Planned Development and the subdivision of four (4) parcels into thirteen (13) parcels and the construction of thirteen (13) new single- family residences located at 8470 Mission Drive. The total lot areas will range in sizes from 5,002 to 6,706 square feet. Two different floor plans are proposed for the thirteen (13) new units. One floor plan will be 2,250 square feet in size and the other 2,340 square feet. Four different elevations will be proposed. The proposed project will be in compliance with the requirements of the Rosemead General Plan and_ Municipal Code and would be subject to public review before the Rosemead Planning Department and Planning Commission.

Initial Study ' Tentative Tract Map 60158 Zane Grange 03 -217 June 21, 1004 SECTION FOUR EXPLANATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 1. AESTHETICS (Less Than Significant Impact) A) Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 consists of a Zonc.Changc from R -1; Single Family Residential to P -D; Planned Development and the subdivision of four (4) parcels to thirteen (13) parcels for the construction of thirteen (13) new single- family residences. The subject site is not located in an area considered to be of any visual .value. Areas surrounding the site are zoned for residential use, both existing and proposed, and therefore, no scenic vistas exist in the subject area. B) The subject site is consists of four (4) separate parcels; two of which are currently undeveloped and two are occupied with single- family units. There are no scenic resources such as historic buildings, a state scenic highway, or rock outcropping within the subject site or adjacent area that would be affected or damaged. There are existing .trees located along the west side of. the property, which the applicant is proposing to remove. Presently,- there is one (1) oak tree located in the public right- of -way at the northeast corner of the lot. The original proposal included the removal of the oak tree, but after the acquisition of two additional properties, the driveway location has been modified to accommodate the tree. C) The proposed project will not damage nor degrade the visual character of the existing area since the proposed residential development is consistent with the surrounding residential land usage. D) This project has no potential to create a new source of substantial light and glare to the surrounding properties. The proposed development consists of thirteen (13) single- family residences with no indication of any outside sources of light that will have an impact on surrounding properties. 2. AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES (No Impact) A -C) There are no agricultural resources present at this subject site or to the, surrounding areas. Therefore, this project would not impact any agricultural resources. The city . is highly urbanized and all properties zoned for agriculture are not currently utilized for farmland purposes. Agriculturally zoned properties in the City consist of vacant lots, parkland, plant nurseries, and an elementary school. The majority of the project site is vacant or occupied with a single - family unit with no agricultural resources present. 3. AIR QUALITY (No Impact) Mitial Snnly Tentative Tract Map 60158 ... Zone Change 03 -217 Jurte 21, 2004 A) This development will not result in significant degradation of air quality because the use of the _land will be consistent with the existing land uses surrounding tile subject property. Thirteen single - family units does not create, significant changes in air - quality because there are not a significant number of trips per day per unit. . B -C) The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) monitors air quality in the project general area; According to SCAQMD project screening criteria in the . South Coast Air Quality Management District CEQA Air Quality Manual, the proposed project . is below the size (177 acres of construction per quarter, approximately 20,000 vehicles miles traveled or 2,000 trips per day for year 2005) that is expected to have significant adverse air quality effects either for construction or for operation. The proposed development is projected to result in emissions below quantitative thresholds established by the SCAQMD. D) The implementation of the project for the development of thirteen (13) single - family residences will not result in the exposure of substantial concentrations of pollutants. E) The proposed project will not be a source of objectionable odors affecting a substantial .number 4. BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES (No Impact) A -B) Since the project area is' urbanized, there is no existing habitat or wetland with endangered and rare species nor is there any significant vegetation in this project area that may be affected. The implementation of Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 will not create adverse impacts to the biological resources because such resources do not exist at the site. C) The project site is not a site of federally protected wetlands. E) The subject property consists of two undeveloped properties and two, which are . occupied with single- family residences. There are no native wildlife species found to occupy the site. In addition, there are no nearby bodies of water or hydrological features, which may disrupt migratory fish patterns. F) The project has been sent to all reviewing agencies and has not been determined to be in conflict with any local, regional, or state conservation plans. 5. CULTURAL RESOURCES (No Impact) A -B) Based on a staff review of the project site, it is determined that there is no recorded archaeological or historic resources existing that may be affect by the implementation of this proposed project. Rosemead is a highly urbanized city with few properties in the city with significant historical and archaeological resources. Measures in Section initial Study Tentative Tract Map 60158 -, Zane Change 03 -217 June 21, 2004 15064.5'of the CEQA guidelines will be included in the proposed project to provide' for satisfactory. mitigation of any archaeological impact that may result. , C) The subject site is currently an empty lot. The proposed project includes the construction of thirteen (13) single - family residences. The site does not contain any unique paleontological or geologic features. D) The subject property consists of two undeveloped properties and two, _which are . occupied with single- family residences in a residential area of the City, and it not expected to disturb any human remains. 6. GEOLOGY AND SOILS (No Impact) A) , The entire City of Rosemead lies in a seismically active region. Though there are various properties in the city that are situated in the Alquist - Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act, this project area.is not one of those properties. There are no known. active surface faults within the project area, which may impact future development. However, severe ground shaking from a regional earthquake would impact not only the project area but also the entire site.and surrounding area. According to the State of California Seismic Hazard Zones, most of the City of Rosemead is located within an identified liquefaction zone. There are older structures throughout the city, either not built or reinforced to meet earthquake standards that are susceptible to loss by liquefaction. C -D) As future development occurs in the city, new structures will replace older buildings and will comply with current codes. Because this project involves new construction, soil reports will be submitted at Plan ,'Check.for review and approval by the City's Building Department. The soils reports will determine if any methods of mitigation will be required. 7. HAZARDS AND HAZAIZDOUS MATERIALS (No Impact) A) The implementation of Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 does not include the creation and transportation of hazardous materials. B) The proposed project will not involve the release of hazardous materials into the environment. C) The existence of any hazardous or toxic materials will be limited to household quantities of items such as cleaning and maintenance products related to the operation ofthe facility. Initial Study Tentative Tract Map 60158 Zone Change 03 -217 June 21, 2004 D) The proposed project is being constructed on residentially zoned property in a residential area of the City. The proposed use will not create a hazard to the public or environment. E -F) The proposed project is not located within two miles of .a public or private airport. G) This proposed project would not impact the implementation of any emergency response or evacuation plan. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has reviewed this project for adequate access and provided conditions of approval. The applicant has provided a dedicated turn- around area between lots 5 and 6 reserved for Fire Department use only. H) There are no wildlands within the project area or surrounding area so as not to expose people or structures to the risk of loss, injury or death involving wildland fires. 8. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY (No Impact) A -F) The implementation of Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 will not create adverse impacts to the hydrology and water quality of the area. The proposed project will not create potential impacts to the volume, drainage pattern, rate of flow and overall quality of any body of water. The quality of stonnwater runoff is regulated under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES). The NPDES stornwater permits provide a mechanism for monitoring the discharge of pollutants and for establishing appropriate controls to minimize the, entrance of such pollutants into stonnwater runoff. .The covering Los Angeles County ( NPDES No. CAS614001). As co perinittee, the County requires all development projects in its jurisdiction to comply with the NPDES requirements for construction and operations as appropriate. This project was distributed to the San Gabriel County Water District, the water purveyor of the subject site, for review and continent. The San Gabriel County Water District stated that they will not install a water main as show on the drawing unless it is a dedicated street, if it is not going to be a dedicated street, then they will install meters on Mission Drive, in the parkway. G, J) Water - quality impacts depend on the conditions of the community where a project will be located and what it will involve. The subject site is not located near any water basin that may be affected. Since the City of Rosemead has been declared by the - Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to be in Zone "C ", flood insurance is not mandatory and there is no community panel flood map for the city. ., 9. LAND USE AND PLANNING (No Impact) Initial Study - Teutative Tract Map 60158 - - Zone Change 03 -217 June 21, 2004 A) The subject site is zone for R -1; Single Family Residential and in the General Plan, its land use designation is 'Low Density Residential. The subject property will be changed to the PD; Planned Development zone and the proposed use of.the site is consistent with the current land uses and the City's General Plan and Municipal Code. Although, the project involves the subdivision of four (4) parcels into thirteen (13) parcels, the proposed project will not physically divide the existing community. B) The propose lot subdivision and thirteen (13) unit development have been designed to comply with the requirements as set forth under the land use designations in the General Plain and the Zoning District. Aside from the analysis of the project's environmental impacts, extensive review has been given to the actual design of the proposed project. All proposed structures have been extensively reviewed by the City's Planning, Building, and Engineering Departments for code compliance and adherence to design guidelines. C) The proposed project will not conflict with any applicable habitat or community - conservation plan. " 10. MINERAL RESOURCES (No Impact) A) There are no mineral resources located within the project area so as to result in loss of j availability of such resources.. B) The Rosemead General Plan and Municipal Code do not include an approved land use plan that indicates a locally important mineral resource. Therefore, the proposed project will not result in the loss of availability of a locally important mineral resource discovery site. 11. NOISE (Less Than Significant Impact) A) The proposed development will generate construction noise, traffic - related noise, and the general activity noise. The City of Rosemead has established noise /land use compatibility guidelines consistent with State of California criteria. According to Chapter 8.36 of the Rosemead Municipal Code, the Allowable Exterior Noise level for, a residential land use is 60 dBA (decibels) between lOpm and 7am and 65 dBA between lam and IOpm. The proposed project is expected to comply with these acceptable levels of noise. B) . Because the proposed project is a lot subdivision for the development of thirteen (13) single- family residences, no person will be exposed to excessive groundborne vibration or excess groundborne noise levels. C) Since the, proposed project will result in the construction of thirteen (13) new structures, it is expected that the noise level may increase from the previous use. The Initial Study. Tentative Tract Map 60158 -Zone Change -03 -217 Juste 21, 2004 noise may be derived from the increase in the number of families, that will be living at . the subject site. The proposed project will result in additional pedestrian and vehicular traffic noises. The increase in noise levels is not considered to be substantial. D) Since this project involves the construction of new buildings, there will be a substantial temporary increase in ambient noise levels above existing levels that may be created due to construction activities. All construction.work shall comply with the timeframe and decibel levels indicated in the City's noise ordinance. E -F) The project is not located in the vicinity of a private airstrip or located within two miles of an airport and therefore has no noise level impacts on the people residing or working in the project area.: 12. POPULATION AND HOUSING (Less Than Significant Impact) A) This proposed project will not result in substantial growth in the City's population. However, since the project involves the construction of thirteen (13) new single- family residences, there will be an increase in the City's current population as well as the introduction of a new private street. Although, the applicant is proposing to change the zone of the subject site from R -1; Single Family Residence to P -D; Planned Development, the use of the lot will not change. The P -D zone is designed to support low density, single- family residences. This project is proposed to meet the needs of current homeowners and potential buyers. B) This proposed subdivision of four (4) parcels into thirteen (13) parcels will result in the demolition of two existing residential units. The remaining lot area in question is currently undeveloped and will not eliminate any residential units. C) This project does involve the derinolition of two residential units, but will not result in a substantial displacement of residents. These units were not multi- family rental units. 13. PUBLIC SERVICES (Less Than Significant Impact) A -B) Because the rate of use is not expected to change significantly due to this development, it is anticipated that the implementation of this project will create a minimal increase in the demand for public services, such as fire and police protection. The City is not currently planning the constriction of new or altered government facilities needed to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times, etc. However, - the impact will not impair services to the City and its residents. This project was distributed to the County of Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (Temple City Sheriff's Department), the law enforcement provider for the subject Initial Study Tentative Tract Map 60153 Zaire Change 03 -117 June 21, 2004- site, for 'review and comment. The Sheriffs Department has no objections to this project; however, addresses must be,clearly posted at the driveway entrances. C -E) Impacts to parks and schools are community - specific and are not expected to be significant with the implementation of this project. impacts to schools depend on the site and magnitude of the project, by the student population generated per household and the capacity of facilities in a given, school district. The construction of this proposed project will increase the area population and thus may increase student populations at schools. 14. RECREATION (Less Than Significant Impact) A) Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 will not significantly impact the usage of existing recreational facilities in the area. The construction. of thirteen (13) . new residences- will increase the population -size but will not cause substantial physical deterioration to existing facilities. B) The project does not require the construction or expansion of recreational facilities. 15. TRANSPORTATION /TRAFFIC (Less Than Significant With, Mitigation Incorporated) A) - Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 may result in potential less than significant impacts to traffic and transportation due to the slight intensification of the - land use with the proposed construction of thirteen (13) new single - family residences. Such a propose use will result in an increase in vehicle traffic deriving from the increase in population size. However, the proposed project includes the construction of thirteen (1 3) new two -car garages for each unit and a new private street. B) This project has been 'sent out for review and comment to several agencies including county agencies and has not been found to exceed service standards established by the county..: . C) The proposed development is a subdivision of four (4) parcels into thirteen (13) parcels and a zone change from R -1 to P -D. This project shall have no impacts on air traffic patterns. D) The proposed project consists of the construction of thirteen (13) new single - family residences and the opening of aprivate street. The development will not substantially , increase hazards due to design features or incompatible uses. E). The Los Angeles County Fire Department and City Engineer have reviewed this . proposal for adequate access. The proposed project meets the preliminary continents of these reviewing agencies and shall be approved prior to final recordation of the Tentative Tract Map. The developer has incorporated a paved turn-around area between two units to provide for Fire Department use only. F) The project includes the addition of thirteen (13) new two -car garages which will. enable the facility to meet applicable parking standards as, required in Chapter 17.16.120 of the Rosemead Municipal Code. 16. UTILITIES AND SERVICE SYSTEMS (No Impact) A -G) The implementation of the proposed project will not significantly affect the consumption of natural gas and electricity, the demand for the communication system, the regional wastewater treatment system, the stormwater drainage, the solid waste generation and the demand for water, beyond the providers' supply infrastructure. The proposed project will not be substantial enough to exceed established level -of- service standards of the utilities and service systems. 17. MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE (Less Than Significant Impact) A) The implementation of the Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 will not degrade the environmental quality of any fish and wildlife habitat or threaten to eliminate any plant or animal community. The Zoning District and Land Use Designation of this site allow for this proposed project to be constructed. B) The proposed project has few impacts that are less than significant and when cumulatively considered will not amount to an intensification of adverse effects. The intent of this proposed project is for the development new homes and the revitalization of an existing lot and surrounding areas. C) Based on the findings provided in this environmental analysis and on the review of the plans for this development, the implementation of Tentative Tract Map 60158 and Zone Change 03 -217 will not be a detriment to the City nor will it have adverse impacts on the surrounding properties. With respect to the architectural design, proper consideration has been given to the goals and objectives of the General Plan and Zoning District for this area. It is the opinion of this department that this proposed project will enhance the existing use and surrounding environment. The project will not cause adverse effects on human beings.

WHEREAS, Mr. Tom Lee, filed an application for a Zone Change to change the current R -1 (Single- Family) Residential Zone to the I'D (Planned Developnnent) Zone; and a Tentative Tract Map to subdivide four existing parcels into thirteen (13) parcels for the development of thirteen (13) new single- family homes located at 8470 Mission Drive; and WHEREAS, Rosemead's General Plan designates the subject properly for Low Density Residential uses; and WHEREAS, Rosemead's Zoning Map designates the site for R -1 (Single - Family) Residential Zone; and WHEREAS, Sections 17.116, 17.120 and 16.04 of the Rosemead Municipal Code set forth procedures and requirements for Zone Changes and Tentative Tract Maps; and WHEREAS, the City ofRosennead has an adopted General Plan, zoning ordinance, and map including specific development standards to control development; and WHEREAS, Sections 17.116 and 17.124 of the Rosemead Municipal Codc authorize the Planning Commission to consider and reconunend proposed zone changes to the City Council; and WHEREAS, on May 27, 2004, an initial study for the proposed Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map was completed finding that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment, a negative declaration was prepared; and WHEREAS, on May 27, 2004, notices were posted in 10 public locations and 104 notices were sent to property owners within a 300 -foot radius from the subject property specifying the public comment period and the time and place for a public heating pursuant to California Govemmient Code Section 65091(a)(3); and WHEREAS, on June'-) 1, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to receive testimony relative to Zone Change 03 -217 and Tentative Tract Map 60158; and . WHEREAS, thePlanning Commission has sufficiently considered all testimony presented to make the following determination. NOW, THEREFORE, BE' IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Cotmnission of the City of Rosemead as follows: Section 1. The Planning Commission HEREBY DETERM INES that a Negative Declaration shall be adopted for Zone Change 03 -217 and Tentative Tract Map 60158. An initial study was completed to analyze potential environmental impacts pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This study analyzes the potential environmental impacts that could be created from the proposed amendment. The study was sent to all responsible agencies, and noticed in 10 public locations, soliciting comments fora 21 -clay period prior to the Planning Conunission hearing. This study found that there would be no potential significant environmental impacts. The initial study for Zone Change 03 -217 and Tentative Tract Map 60158 are attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. The Planning Commission HEREBY FINDS AND DETERMINES that changing [lie land use designation to Low Density Residential and placing the property in the PD (Planned Development) Zone is in the best interest of the public necessity and general welfare, and good city planning practice dictates and supports the proposed zone change and general plan amendment. Section 3. The Planning Commission FURTHER FINDS AND DETERMINES that Zone Change 03 -217 and Tentative Tract Map 60158 are consistent with the Rosemead General Plan as follows: A. Land Use: The General Plan designation will remain Low - Density Residential and will allow for the proposed residential properties to be consistent with City codes and land uses in the . surrounding area. The density allowed in, the General Plan is 0 -7 units per acre. This development is designed at 6.8 units per acre. B. Circulation: The subject area is located on Mission Drive in a single- family residential area west of Walnut Grove Avenue and cast of Earle Avenue on the south side of the street. The units will have vehicular access via a pi ivate drive aisle that will only service the occupants of the units. Mission Drive is a secondary arterial in The City of Rosemead and the number of trips created from thirteen (13) single - family homes will Dot significantly increase the traffic along Mission Drive. C. Housing: The proposed Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map will create thirteen (13) additional units. Two of the current parcels are vacant and the remaining two are currently occupied with single - family units. This development will provide needed residential opportunities in the City and will not displace significant numbers of residents and will not have any impacts on housing. The proposed use of the properties will remain residential allowing the properties to be compatible with the zoning code and General Plan. D. Resource Management: No resources will be impacted, because the use of the subject properties is for single - family residences and will remain residential in nature with the adoption of these entitlements. - E. Noise: This development will not generate azly permanent impacts to noise levels for the surrounding area. The proposed project will result in additional pedestrian and vehicular traffic noises, but is not considered to be substantial. There will be a temporary increase in ambient noise levels above the existing levels due to construction activities. An initial study _ was completed and its findings have determined that this development could not have a . significant effect on the environment. F. Public Safety: There will be not be a significant increase in population or density as a result of the Zone Change and Tentative Tract Map, so the need for more public safety and public areas is not impacted. The entire City of Rosemead is located in Flood Zone C (flood insurance is not mandatory) and is free from any flood hazard designations. . Section 5. The Planning Commission HEREBY RECOMMENDS APPROVAL to the City Council for Zone Change 03 -217, amending Rosemead Zoning map designation from "R -1 (Single - Family Residential)" to "PD (Plarmcd Development)" and Tentative Tract Map 60158, for the property located at 8470 Mission Drive, (APNs: 5372- 016 -021, 022, 023, 038).
