If approved, the proposed development and subdivision will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Regulations, Subdivision Code, and Oak Tree Preservation Regulations; and as an infill development this project qualifies as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve application nos. TPM 13-09, MFADR 13-06, MC 13-13, and TRE 13-39 with the CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Mr. Benjamin Zhu, Architect LOCATION: 31 S. Second Avenue REQUEST: Approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review, the following Modification, and an Oak Tree Encroachment Permit for a three-unit, residential condominium development: • A 10'-0" street-side yard setback along Alta Street in lieu of the 25'-0" requirement. SITE AREA: 7,250 square feet (0.17 acre) FRONTAGES: 50 feet along S. Second Avenue and 145 feet along Alta Street EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is improved with two, one-story, detached, single-family residences constructed in 1931. The site is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential. The maximum density limit for the site is one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area for a maximum of five units, and the minimum density for the site is one unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area for a minimum of three units. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: One-story, single-family residence, zoned R-3 South: Two-story, 14-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-3 East: Bonita Park, zoned S-2 West: Two, one-story, detached single-family residences, zoned R-3 ,. GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: High Density Residential — This designation accommodates higher-density attached housing types for both renter and owner households within a neighborhood context. Such housing types generally are located near transit stops, along arterials and transit corridors, and within easy walking distance of shops and services. Appropriate transition to adjacent lower-density neighborhoods is required through use of yards, other open areas, and building heights. This designation accommodates 12-30 dwelling units per acre. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, Architectural Design Review, a street-side yard setback Modification, and an Oak Tree Encroachment Permit for a proposed three-unit residential condominium development. The site is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential, and has a total land area of approximately 7,250 square feet. The R-3 zone has a minimum dwelling unit density of one unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area and a maximum dwelling unit density limit of one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area, which calculates to a minimum of three units and a maximum of five units for the subject site. The proposed development will be a triplex, consisting of two, two-story units, and one second floor unit. The unit sizes range from 1,141 square feet to 1,370 square feet. Each unit will have an attached two-car garage, ., TPM 13-09, MFADR 13-06, MC 13-13, and THE 13-39 31 S. Second Ave. October 8, 2013—Page 2 of 8 and two onsite guest parking spaces will be provided. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation and the density limits. Tentative Parcel Map The proposal for three residential condominium units requires that they be subdivided through the Tentative Parcel Map process — see the attached Tentative Parcel Map. The proposed subdivision complies with the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not violate any requirements of a California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The following two findings are required for approval of a Tentative Parcel Map: A.1. That the proposed subdivision, together with the provisions for its design and improvement, is consistent with the City's General Plan. Facts to Support the Finding: The proposed project will remove the existing medium density residences and replace them with a residential development that is consistent in character with the High Density Multiple-Family Residential designation as described in the City's General Plan. A.2. That the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system will comply with existing requirements prescribed by a California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Facts to Support the Finding: The Arcadia Public Works Services Department confirmed that the proposed development will be adequately served by the existing sewer infrastructure and the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board will be satisfied. The proposed subdivision should not be approved if the Planning Commission finds that any of the findings for denial listed at the end of this staff report are applicable. Architectural Design Review Concurrent with the subdivision application, the Planning Commission is to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the architectural design of the proposed project. The architectural style of the development is described as Mediterranean — see attached plans. The Mediterranean design features the following architectural elements: brown flat-tile roofing; tan, sand-finished, stucco walls; stone veneer accents at the entries; and decorative wrought-iron railing. The massing and scale of the building is in character with other newer multiple-family buildings in the vicinity (photos of the site and neighborhood are attached). The architecture and landscaping of the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and consistent with the City's Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines. Modification • A 10'-0" street-side yard setback along Alta Street in lieu of the 25'-0" requirement TPM 13-09, MFADR 13-06, MC 13-13, and THE 13-39 31 S. Second Ave. October 8, 2013— Page 3 of 8 The subject site is a 50-foot wide corner lot, and the Zoning Code requires a street-side yard setback equal to the front yard setback for the side street, which along Alta Street is 25'-0". This, combined with the ten-foot interior-side yard setback requirement, results in only a 15-foot wide portion of the lot being available for development. The requested Modification is to set back the building ten feet from the street-side yard property line along Alta Street to allow for a 30-foot wide building area to enable a reasonable development of the lot. The minimum 10'-0" setback is measured from various architectural features along the south elevation. However, most of the south side of the building will be setback 12'-0", and the southwest corner of the building is to be well articulated to provide a transition between the proposed street-side yard setback and the front yard of the adjacent development. Oak Tree Encroachment There are two mature 30-inch diameter Coast Live Oak trees located in the City Parkway along Alta Street that would have their canopies encroached upon by the proposed development. The proposed building, walkways, a driveway, and landscaping will encroach into the protected zone of the Oak trees. The architect, however, has tried to layout the new development to utilize the existing driveway location under the westerly oak tree to minimize the impacts of the new development. And, there is already sidewalk along Alta Street under the two oak trees. A Certified Arborist analyzed the development proposal and determined that the proposed encroachments upon the trees will be tolerable, provided that the measures prescribed in the Arborist's Report (attached) are followed. Staff has included the Arborist's recommended tree protection measures as conditions of approval. Since the Oak trees are located in the public right-of-way, the City Arborist reviewed the development proposal and the Arborist's Report and agrees that the recommended protection measures are adequate. With approval of the requested Modification and Oak Tree Encroachment Permit, the proposed development will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning and Subdivision Regulations, Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines, and the Oak Tree Protection Regulations. All City requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director. The proposed plans have been reviewed by the various City departments and some special conditions of approval are deemed necessary. These are listed as recommended Condition of Approval No. 1 in this staff report. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS This project, as an infill development project, is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed three-unit residential project will be consistent with the General Plan and zoning regulations, is surrounded by urban uses, and will not have any significant impacts on the environment. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached to this staff report. It is recommended that the Planning Commission find that this project is exempt from CEQA.

Observations:The property is located at the NW corner of S 2nd Avenue and Alta Street. The trees in question are located on the parkway(they are city trees)and the South side of the property at approximately 23' and 51'west of the East property line(the front of the property). Tree#1 DBH 30.87" Spread approximately 50' Amok Tree#2 DBH 29.28 Spread approximately 50' Both trees have been recently severely trimmed and crown reduced. They are probably 50-75 years old. Their root collars are severely crowded between the street curb and the public sidewalk. Both have girdling roots and have probably had their roots ground off for sidewalk and curb replacement at least once in their life time. In spite of these abuses,both trees appear to be in relatively good health. I observed no obvious signs of internal decay or evidence of Phytophthora or Armillaria fungus (2 common disease threats to Oak trees). The current house on the site is set back about 33'from the sidewalk on the side facing these trees and about 20'from the 2 tree trunks. The current drip line of the trees is approximately 15'from the trees on the house side. However, as I mentioned, both canopies have been reduced by pruning and I estimate the original drip line was approximately at the edge of the house. It is highly unlikely that there are any roots under the house, because of the house footings. I have been informed that the setback for the new structure has been proposed at 10'from the sidewalk. This would constitute an encroachment into the root zone of approximately 5'.
