DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GARVEY AVENUE
COMMUNITY CENTER AND SENIOR HOUSING PROJECT ON
PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 9100 AND 9108 GARVEY
AVENUE, CITY OF ROSEMEAD, LOS ANGELES COUNTY,
CALIFORNIA
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Development Agreement" hereinafter) is made and
entered into as of the thirty-first (31st) day following final adoption of the
ordinance approving it by and between the CITY OF ROSEMEAD, a municipal
corporation (the "City" hereinafter), the ROSEMEAD HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a California non-profit, public benefit
corporation (the "RHDC" hereinafter).
A- RECITALS
1. California Government Code Section 65864 provides, in pertinent
part, as follows:
The Legislature finds and declares that:
"(a) The lack of certainty in the approval of development projects
can result in a waste of resources, escalate the cost of housing and other
development to the consumer, and discourage investment in and commitment to
comprehensive planning which would make maximum efficient utilization of
resources at the least economic cost to the public.
(b) Assurance to the applicant for a development project that
upon approval of the project, the applicant may proceed with the project in
accordance with existing policies, rules and regulations, subject to conditions of
approval, will strengthen the public planning process, encourage private
participation in comprehensive planning, and reduce the economic costs of
development."
Development Agreement

2. California Government Code Section 65865 provides, in pertinent
part, as follows:
"Any city, . . . , may enter into a development agreement with any
person having a legal or equitable interest in real property for the development
of such property as provided in this article . . . "
3. California Government Code Section 65865.2 provides, in pertinent
part, as follows:
"A development agreement shall specify the duration of the
agreement, the permitted uses of the property, the density or intensity of use,
the maximum height and size of proposed buildings, and provisions for
reservation or dedication of land for public purposes. The development
agreement may include conditions, terms, restrictions and requirements for
subsequent discretionary actions, provided that such conditions, terms and
restrictions, and requirements for subsequent discretionary actions shall not
prevent development of the land for the uses and to the density and intensity of
development set forth in the agreement. The agreement may provide that
construction shall be commenced within a specified time and that the project or
any phase thereof can be completed within a specified time."
4. California Government Code Section 65915 provides:
"that a local government, by agreement with a developer, shall
grant a density bonus of at least twenty-five (25) percent over that allowed by
the maximum density allowed in the city's zoning ordinance and land use
element to the General Plan..."
5. The City of Rosemead seeks to subject publicly sponsored projects
to the same level of public review and scrutiny that privately sponsored projects
are subject to and development of the Garvey Avenue Community Center and
Senior Citizen Housing complex requires custom development regulations due to
the nature of the proposed development
Development Agreement

6. Prior to the exercise of any entitlement rights hereunder, City will
own or lease that real property located entirely within the City, generally located
at 9100 and 9108 Garvey Avenue (the "Site" hereinafter), which Site is
illustrated on the "Site Map" and described on the "Legal Description", attached

respectively. The City shall ground lease the senior housing site to RHDC
pursuant to a ground lease.
7. The Site is currently zoned M-1, Light Industrial, and A-1, Light
Agricultural and development of senior housing and a community center
requires development standards not provided for in the Municipal Code. City
and RHDC desire to provide through this Development Agreement more specific
development controls on the Site which will provide for efficient utilization of the
Site in accordance with sound planning principles.
8. RHDC proposes to construct a senior housing project on the portion
of the Site identified as "Parcel 1" on the attached Site Map which will require a
modification to the City's Zoning Ordinance for the M-1 and A-1 zones (the
"Project" hereinafter).
9. The Project shall be rented, operated and managed, and subject to
the affordability and tenant selection guidelines and covenants as determined by
the City and to be set forth in an "Assistance and Operating Agreement" by and
among RHDC, the City and the Agency, the execution of which is a condition to
the Effective Date, as hereinafter defined, of this Agreement for the senior
housing project.
10. The proposed development of low income units on the subject
property was approved by the electorate through the passage of Proposition "D"
in the Rosemead Special Municipal Election of November 5, 1991. In
furtherance of this ballot measure, City is hereby willing to permit a higher
density than typically provided for in the General Plan for multi-family
developments.
11. City proposes to cause the construction of a Community Center of
approximately 23,400 square feet plus basement area of up to 10,000 square feet
Development Agreement
Page 3 of 10
on the portion of the Site identified as "Parcel 2" on the Site map. The

III. ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS & ANALYSIS
The Garvey Avenue Community Center and Senior Citizen Housing Project entails the
construction of a 23,000-square foot community center and 72-unit senior citizen housing
complex. The project site is located on Garvey Avenue near the eastern city boundaries
of the City of Rosemead. The project site encompasses 4.41 acres of land, of which 3.16
acres (72.7% of the total site) is owned by the City of Rosemead and 1.25 acres (28.3% of
the total site) is owned by the Army Corps of Engineers and leased to the Rosemead
Redevelopment Agency.
The community center will serve as a multi-purpose facility designed to accommodate a
wide range of events and activities, including pre-school programs, after school recreation
programs and senior lunch programs. The one-story center will include banquet rooms,
kitchen, administration office and reception room, indoor and outdoor pre-school activity
space, pool room, television room, multi-purpose rooms and basement.
The 72-unit senior citizen housing complex will be located next to the community center
on the same project site. The housing complex will provide affordable housing for current
senior citizens residing in the City of Rosemead. Residency in the City of Rosemead is a
prerequisite for occupancy in the senior housing complex. The four-story housing complex
will include a community room, lounge, library and 64 one-bedroom units and 8 two-
bedroom units. The housing complex will total approximately 68,000 square feet.
Access to the community center and senior housing project site will be from a single
entrance on Garvey Avenue. A traffic study of this access is attached for your review.
Parking on the project site will total 208 parking spaces. The senior housing complex will
Development Agreement 99-1
August 2, 1999
Page 3 of 3
include 21 parking spaces and the community center will include 167 parking spaces and
20 tandem car spaces - or five bus parking spaces.
The City of Rosemead and its Housing Corporation desire to provide through this
Development Agreement more specific development controls which will provide for efficient
utilization of the site in accordance with sound planning principles.
IV. RECOMMENDATION
Approval, based on the Rosemead Housing Corporation action. Pursuant to Section
65865.2 of the Government Code cited above, the Development Agreement contains the
conditions of approval. Those which are relative from a planning standpoint include:
■ Construction pursuant to Exhibit B within three (3) years;
■ Such right to develop shall vest thirty-one (31) days after: final City approval
of the Development Agreement, its execution and recordation; the execution
and recordation of the Ground Lease between the City and RHDC; and the
execution and recordation of the Assistance and Operating Agreement
between the City, RHDC and the Redevelopment Agency;
• Except as provided in the Development Agreement, the provisions of the
Zoning Ordinance and General Plan shall rule.
TO: Peter Lyons, Planning Director
• FROM: Joanne Itagaki, Traffic Engineering Deputy
DATE: July 19, 1999
RE: Garvey Senior Center and Community Center— Sight Distance and
Left-turn Stacking Length
As requested, I have reviewed the main driveway to the Garvey Senior Center
and Community Center. This driveway will be signalized with a protected left •
-
turn signal for eastbound and westbound left-turns into the driveway of the
project site and the opposing driveway. Concern has been expressed regarding
the sight distance of the proposed traffic signal and the length of the westbound
left-turn pocket due to the bridge over the Rio Hondo Channel.
The trip generation factors for the Senior Center and the Community Center were
obtained from the 6th Edition of the Trip Generation Manual. For the Senior
Center, Land Use Code 253 — Elderly Housing-Attached was used. The
Community Center was more difficult to determine the proper land use.
However, based on our conversations and the types of events the Community
Center is anticipated to accommodate, Land Use Code 560-Church was used for
the Community Center. The descriptions of these Land Use Codes are shown in
Exhibit A.
The estimated number of trips generated onto Garvey Avenue during the AM and
PM peak hours are 24 and 25, respectfully. During the "peak hours of the
proposed development", the AM and PM trips are 38 and 45, respectfully. The
"peak hours of the proposed development" are the hours when the Senior Center
and Community Center generate the most trips. These hours are not necessarily
during the 7 — 9 AM or 4 — 6 PM peak hours. Table 1 summarizes the trip
generation factors and the number of trips described above.
A review of the weekend peak hour trips for the Community Center was also
conducted. Table 2 summarizes this analysis. These estimated trips would be a
worst-case scenario for the Community Center. In using the "Church" land use
code, the highest number of peak hour trips are generated on a Sunday (247
trips).
With the distribution patterns and trips calculated, the worst-case scenario
(Sunday trips) anticipated to turn left into the project site during the peak hour is
74 vehicles. This translates to a requirement for the left turn pocket to be 74 feet
in length.
"Stopping sight distance" is defined in the Highway Design Manual as the
following: "The minimum stopping sight distance is the distance required by the
•
•Garvey Senior Center and Community Center
• Sight Distance and Left-Turn Stacking Length
Page 2
•
driver of a vehicle, traveling at a given speed, to bring his vehicle to a stop after
an object on the road becomes visible." The required stopping sight distance for
•
a posted 35 mph roadway, such as Garvey Avenue, is approximately 279 feet.
With the centerline survey of Garvey Avenue, analysis of the sight distance of the
proposed traffic signal and the length of the westbound left-turn pocket was
accomplished. The following indicates the distances from the crest of the hill on
the bridge to the driveway.
Crest of Hill on the Bridge to:
• Centerline of project driveway = 510 feet
• Back of left turn lane = 420 feet
• Far side signal = 540 feet
These distances are greater than the 279 feet stopping sight distance
requirement. Therefore, westbound vehicles should be able to see the proposed
traffic signal at the crest of the hill on the bridge. In addition, the westbound
vehicles should be able to see any vehicles waiting in the left turn lane.
Based on this analysis, Garvey Avenue provides adequate westbound stopping
sight distance and visibility of the proposed traffic signal and vehicles within the
future left turn lane from the crest of the hill on the bridge.
