SUMMARY Zone Change Application No. Z 00-002 was submitted by Mr. Hank Jong of EGL Associates, Inc. to rezone a 3.81 foot wide strip of land between 201-221 E. Duarte Road and 810 S. Second Avenue from C-1/Limited Commercial to R-2/Medium Density Multiple Family Residential, and to remove a P/Automobile Parking Overlay from 810 S. Second Avenue. The Planning Commission at its December 12, 2000 meeting voted 4-0 with one Commissioner absent, to recommend approval of the requested Zone Change. The minutes of the Planning Commission meeting are attached. The Development Services Department is also recommending approval of Zone Change Application No. Z 00-002. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at the northeast corner of Duarte Road and Second Avenue. The current situation was created by Zone Change No. Z-77-2 and Parcel • Map No. 8342 in 1977. The Zone Change added the P/Automobile Parking Overlay and the Parcel Map consolidated several small lots, including a vacated portion of an alley, into two lots (see the diagram of Parcel Map No. 8342, on the following page). The residential zoning existed on the property bounded on the south by the southerly line of the vacated alley. However, in creating Lot 2 of Parcel Map No. 8342, the northerly lot line was not aligned with the southerly line of vacated alley, thereby leaving a 3.81 foot wide strip of land that is zoned C-1/Limited Commercial, but is attached to residentially zoned property to the north.

Duarte Road and 810 S. Second Avenue from C-1/Limited Commercial to R-2/Medium Density Multiple Family Residential, and to remove a P/Automobile Parking Overlay from 810 S. Second Avenue. The 3.81 foot wide strip of land extends from Second Avenue eastward to the easterly property line of Lot 1 of Parcel Map No. 8342 (see the above diagram of Parcel Map No. 8342). This zone change is necessary to enable the property at 81.0 S. Second Avenue to be developed with a five-unit residential condominium project. The project could not be subdivided into condominiums unless there is consistency between the General Plan and Zoning. ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION ' Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Development Services Department has prepared an Initial Study for the proposed project. Said Initial Study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on wildlife Z 00-002 January 16, 2001 - Page 2 of 3 resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been drafted for this Zone Change. RECOMMENDATION This Zone Change will not have an affect on the eventual development of the subject property and the land uses will be consistent with the surrounding uses. The Planning Commission and Development Services Department recommend approval of Zone Change Application No. Z 00-002. CITY COUNCIL ACTION The City Council should open the public hearing, and based on the evidence presented, the Council should move to adopt and file the Negative Declaration and introduce Ordinance No. 2133: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, CHANGING THE ZONING OF A 3.81 FOOT WIDE STRIP OF PROPERTY BETWEEN 201-221 EAST DUARTE ROAD AND 810 SOUTH SECOND AVENUE FROM C-1/LIMITED COMMERCIAL TO R-2/MEDIUM DENSITY MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, AND REMOVING A P/AUTOMOBILE PARKING OVERLAY FROM 810 SOUTH SECOND AVENUE.

[ ] 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 applicant. 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 IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the effects that remain to be addressed. [ ] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, but 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 revisions or mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. By: James M. Kasama, Associate Planner For: City of Arcadia Date: September 27, 2000 Sign re Form"J" -3- CEQA Checklist 4/99 File Nos.:. GP 00-002; • Z 00-002; &TM 53330 - EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1. A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the responses 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 is significant. If there are one or more, "Potentially Significant Impact" entries when the determination is made, an 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." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section XVIII, "Earlier Analyses," must be cross-referenced). 5. Earlier analyses 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). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and state whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less Than Significant With Mitigation Measures Incorporated," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 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, uses or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8. This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9. The explanation of each issue should identify: a) The significant criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) The mitigation measure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to less than significant.
