staff report and the notice of decision letter are attached. It is recommended that the
Planning Commission deny the appeal and uphold the Modification Committee's
conditions of approval for these applications.
BACKGROUND
APPELLANT: Ms. Sylvia Hu, daughter of Mrs. Yueh Yu, Property Owner
APPLICANT: Ms. Felicia Fan of JWL Associates, Designer and Project Manager
LOCATION: 136 W. Sandra Avenue
REQUESTS: An appeal of the Arcadia Modification Committee's conditions of
approval for the following Modifications and Single Family Architectural
Design Review for 1,171 square feet of one-story additions to an
existing 2,749 square-foot, one story, single family residence:
1. A 23'-0" to 24'-0" front yard setback in lieu of 25'-0" required (Sec.
9252.2.2); and
2. A 5'-2" easterly side yard setback in lieu of the minimum 8'-3"
required (Sec. 9252.2.3).
SITE AREA: 9,625 square feet (0.22 acre)
FRONTAGE: 82 feet along Sandra Avenue
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
On the site is a partially constructed, single family residence. The original
residence was constructed in 1960. The site is zoned R-1, Second One Family
Residential.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: One story, Single family residences, zoned R-1
South: Pre-school and Medical Office, zoned C-O
East: One story, Single family residence, zoned R-1
West: One story, Single family residence, zoned R-1
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
Low Density Residential (4 to 6 dwelling units per acre) — The Low Density
Residential designation accommodates low density single family residential
neighborhoods. Development is typified by detached single family residences on
lots 7,200 to 10,000 square feet in size. Permitted uses are limited to a single
family residence on a single lot.
The subject property is a 9,625 square foot interior lot, zoned R-1. There is a one story,
2,749 square foot residence on the property with a 353 square foot, attached two car
garage. The house is in a semi-constructed state based on previously approved
addition/remodel plans. Construction was halted in 2008, and all City issued approvals
and permits have expired. The applicant is reapplying for the permits to complete this
project, and has therefore submitted the subject applications. Single Family
Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-48 was submitted on April 2, 2013. A letter
to the applicant informing them that the proposal is incomplete because Modifications
are needed was sent on May 10, 2013, and Modification Application No. MC 13-18 was
submitted on July 18, 2013.
This project was scheduled for the September 10, 2013, Modification Committee
meeting, at which two of the neighbors, Ms. Florence Dai of 142 W. Sandra Avenue,

136 West Sandra Avenue
October 22, 2013— Page 2 of 7
and Mr. Philip George of 137 W. Sandra Avenue, spoke in opposition of the project, and
for which the attached email in opposition was received from the neighbors at 130 W.
Sandra Avenue. The neighbors are mainly concerned about the fact that the project has
remained inactive for years, and would like this project completed without further delays.
Mr. George is concerned that the applicant will not follow through with this proposal, as
has happened with the previous approvals, and that approval of these applications
would only allow the applicant additional time. To provide a context for the neighbors'
concerns, the following is a history of this project.
The applicant began the project in 2004, when permits were secured for an
addition/remodel project. Subsequently, the applicant secured building permits in 2006
and 2009, and each of these building permits expired before the completion of
construction. The expired planning applications are listed below:
1. Administrative Modification No. MA 06-28 to request a 5'-2" easterly side yard
setback for a 420 square-foot garage expansion (approved May 23, 2006).
2. Modification No. MC 06-43:
A. An 8'-6" westerly side yard setback in lieu of 16'-5" required for a 308
square foot living room addition with a top plate height of 13'-0" (denied April
24, 2007).
B. A 5'-8" easterly side yard setback in lieu of 16'-5" required for a new two car
garage addition with a top plate height of 13'-0" (denied April 24, 2007).
C. A 46% lot coverage in lieu of 45% permitted for single story residence
(approved April 24, 2007).
3. Administrative Modification No. MA 08-34 and Single Family Architectural
Design Review No. SFADR 08-68 to request a 5'-2" easterly side yard setback
for a 443 square foot garage expansion (approved January 5, 2009).
The subject property has remained in a state of construction and neglect for
approximately eight years. On February 25, 2013, the City issued a Notice and Order to
Repair or Demolish to all interested parties, and is currently seeking legal action to
demolish/abate the semi-constructed structure and clean up the property. Staff has
prepared the attached timeline to outline the actions that have occurred for this property
since 2004.
At its regular meeting on September 24, 2013, the Modification Committee approved the
subject applications, with the following conditions:
1. The site shall be cleaned up to the satisfaction of the City's Building Official by
October 31, 2013, or this approval shall become null and void.
2. Complete building plans shall be submitted within 30 days (November 2, 2013)
from the date of approval for plan check by Building Services, or this approval
shall become null and void.
Appeal of MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48
136 West Sandra Avenue
October 22, 2013—Page 3 of 7
3. Verification of the deposit of funds into an escrow account to cover the cost of
construction shall be submitted to the City by November 14, 2013. The deposit
shall be based on an estimate from JWL Associates of the cost to complete the
project. If verification of this deposit is not submitted by November 14, 2013, the
approval shall become null and void.
4. A building permit shall be obtained within 90 days from plan check submittal or
by January 2, 2014, whichever comes first, or this approval shall become null
and void.
5. The house shall be reframed within 30 days after issuance of a building permit,
or this approval shall become null and void.
6. Rough plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and fire sprinklers shall be installed
within 30 days after the house is reframed, or by April 2, 2014, or this approval
shall become null and void.
7. The entire project shall be completed within one-year of the date of approval
(October 2, 2014), or this approval shall become null and void.
8. Approval of MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48 shall not take effect until the property
owner's representative and the applicant have executed and filed an Acceptance
Form available from the Development Services Department to indicate
awareness and acceptance of the conditions of approval.
9. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of Arcadia and
its officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, action,
or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officials, officers, employees or
agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any approval or conditional approval of
the City of Arcadia concerning this project and/or land use decision, including but
not limited to any approval or conditional approval of the City Council, Planning
Commission, or City Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided
for in Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable to
this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of any claim,
action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use decision and the
City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter. The City reserves the
right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney to represent the City, its
officials, officers, employees, and agents in the defense of the matter.
On October 1, 2013, Ms. Sylvia Hu appealed the Modification Committee decision. The
attached appeal letter indicates a need for more time to coordinate with JWL Associates,
who is the applicant for the subject applications, and the project designer and manager.
Ms. Hu, however, has not yet provided any information as to how much more time she
and JWL Associates need.

DISCUSSION
Ms. Sylvia Hu, the daughter of the property owner is appealing the conditions of approval
to be given more time for the project. She is seeking additional time to work out the
details with the applicant, JWL Associates. As of October 17, 2013, she has not
provided an alternative timetable, nor has she provided a reason for not being able to
comply with the above deadlines. It is expected that Ms. Hu will do so at the October 22,
2013, meeting.
The applicant submitted the subject applications to obtain the necessary approvals to
complete the partially constructed additions. The proposal consists of a 443 square foot
addition to an existing substandard 353 square foot, two car garage, a 280 square foot
addition to the existing living room, and a 448 square foot, enclosed patio at the rear of
the residence that is not subject to Modifications — see the attached plans. This proposal
is consistent with the plans previously approved under Administrative Modification No.
MA 08-34 and Single Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 08-68, and has
the same setback dimensions as the plans that were previously approved through the
building plan check process. Although the proposed plans are consistent with the
previous approved plans, which showed the reductions to the front yard setback and was
constructed accordingly, the front yard setbacks were not considered under the prior
Modifications.
For this application, the City's Building Official has confirmed that existing construction is
consistent with the setback measurements shown on the plans. The front yard setback
Modification requests are as follows:
1. A 23'-0" to 24'-0" front yard setback in lieu of 25'-0" required, and a 5'-2" easterly
side yard setback in lieu of minimum 8'-3" required for a 443 square foot, one
story garage expansion; and
2. A 23'-0" front yard setback in lieu of 25'-0" required for a 280 square foot, one
story living room addition.
The Code requires a minimum front yard setback of 25'-0", or the average of the two
adjacent neighbors, whichever is greater. The two adjacent properties, 130 W. Sandra
Avenue and 142 W. Sandra Avenue have existing front yard setbacks of 21'-0" and
25'-0", respectively, resulting in an average of 23'-0". Therefore, the front yard setback
requirement for the subject property is 25'-0". The proposed front yard setbacks for the
new living room and garage addition are 23'-0" and 24'-0", respectively. Although the
unfinished additions encroach into the front yard setback requirement of 25'-0", they do
not extend beyond the average front yard setbacks of the adjacent neighbors, and
therefore would not negatively affect the streetscape along Sandra Avenue.
The unfinished garage expansion currently aligns with the existing, legal-nonconforming
easterly side yard setback of 5'-2". The current side yard setback requirement is 10% of
the 82'-0" lot width or 8'-3". Approval of this request would allow the garage expansion
to be a compatible continuation of the existing garage, and would allow through access

136 West Sandra Avenue
October 22, 2013 — Page 5 of 7
to the existing portion of the garage without an offset. This request is also consistent
with the expired Modification approvals for this property. It is staffs opinion that approval
of these Modification requests would secure an appropriate improvement of the lot.
Single Family Architectural Design Review
The proposed addition will be "Ranch" style to match the existing house, and is
consistent with the previously approved plans for the project. The proposed vertical
siding, concrete roof tiles, and cultured stone veneer wainscoting are consistent with this
architectural style, as shown on the attached plans. It is staffs opinion that the proposal
is consistent with the City's Single Family Architectural Design Guidelines.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project qualifies as a Class 5 Categorical Exemption for Minor Alterations
in Land Use Limitations from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. A Preliminary Exemption
Assessment is attached to this staff report.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public hearing notices for this appeal of the Modification Committee's conditions of
approval for MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48 were mailed on October 11, 2013 to the
property owners and tenants of those properties that are located within 100 feet of the
subject property — see the attached radius map. As of Thursday, October 17, 2013,
there were no responses to the public hearing notices.
RECOMMENDATION
Because of the long history of unfinished construction, staff recommends the Planning
Commission uphold the Modification Committee's conditions of approval to limit the time
that the applicant is allowed to obtain building permits, and complete construction.
These conditions were developed in consultation with the Building Official and Code
Services. Should any deadline not be met, the approvals of MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-
48 would be null and void, and the project would not be allowed to continue until new
approvals are secured. In the meantime, the City will continue with its abatement
process to remove the incomplete construction.
This project will be required to comply with all current Building and Fire Codes, including
the 2010 California Building Code, which requires the installation of a fire sprinkler
system throughout an entire house if it exceeds 2,500 square feet in area. If plans are
not submitted until after January 1, 2014, the project will be required to comply with the
2013 California Building Code.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission deny the appeal and uphold the
decision of the Modification Committee, which was that this project is a Class 5
Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) per
Appeal of MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48
136 West Sandra Avenue
October 22, 2013— Page 6 of 7
Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, and that MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48 are
approved based on the Modifications securing appropriate improvements to the lot and
that the design is consistent with the City's Single Family Residential Design Guidelines,
and subject to the conditions set forth above.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Approval
If the Planning Commission intends to approve the appeal to modify the conditions of
approval and sustain the approval of MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48, the Commission
should move to find that the project is Categorically Exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and uphold the approval of the Modifications and
Single-Family Architectural Design Review, with specification of the revisions to the
conditions of approval.
Denial
If the Planning Commission intends to uphold the Modification Committee's conditions
of approval and deny the appeal, the Commission should move to deny the appeal and
uphold the Modification Committee's decision and conditions of approval.
If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or comments
regarding this matter prior to the October 22, 2013 public hearing, please contact
Associate Planner, Thomas Li, at (626) 574-5447, or tli @ci.arcadia.ca.us.

MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48
September 24, 2013
Page 2 of 4
The applicant began the project in 2004, when permits were secured for an
addition/remodel project. Subsequently, the applicant secured building permits in 2006 and
2009, and each of these building permits expired before the completion of construction.
The expired planning applications are listed below:
1. Administrative Modification No. MA 06-28 to request a 5'-2" easterly side yard
setback for a 420 square-foot garage expansion (approved May 23, 2006).
2. Modification No. MC 06-43:
A. An 8'-6" westerly side yard setback in lieu of 16'-5" required for a 308
square-foot living room addition with a top plate height of 13'-0" (denied April
24, 2007).
B. A 5'-8" easterly side yard setback in lieu of 16'-5" required for a new two-car
garage addition with a top plate height of 13'-0" (denied April 24, 2007).
C. A 46% lot coverage in lieu of 45% permitted for single-story residence
(approved April 24, 2007).
3. Administrative Modification No. MA 08-34 and Single-Family Architectural Design
Review No. SFADR 08-68 to request a 5'-2" easterly side yard setback for a 443
square-foot garage expansion (approved January 5, 2009).
The subject property has remained in a state of construction and neglect for approximately
eight years. On February 25, 2013, the City issued a Notice and Order to Repair or
Demolish to all interested parties, and is currently seeking legal action to demolish the
semi-constructed structure and clean up the property. Staff has prepared the attached
timeline to outline the actions that have occurred for this property since 2004.
DISCUSSION
The applicant is reapplying for applications and permits for the partially constructed
additions totaling 743 square feet. The proposal consists of a 443 square foot addition to an
existing substandard 353 square foot two car garage, and a 280 square foot addition to the
existing living room. There is also a 448 square foot enclosed patio at the rear of the
residence that is not subject to modifications. This proposal is consistent with the plans
previously approved under Administrative Modification No. MA 08-34 and Single-Family
Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 08-68, and has the same setback dimensions as
the plans that were previously approved under the plan check process. Although the
proposed plans are consistent with the previous approved plans which showed the
reductions to the front yard setback and constructed that way, they were not considered
under the modifications.
For this application, the City's Building Official has confirmed that the setback
measurements shown on the plans are accurate. The modification requests are as follows:
1. A 23'-0" to 24'-0" front yard setback in lieu of 25'-0" required, and a 5'-2" easterly
side yard setback in lieu of minimum 8'-3" required for a 443 square foot, one story
garage expansion; and
MC 13-18 and SFADR 13-48
September 24, 2013
Page 3 of 4
2. A 23'-0" front yard setback in lieu of 25'-0" required for a 280 square foot, one story
living room addition.
The Code requires a minimum front yard setback of 25'-0", or the average of the two
adjacent neighbors, whichever is greater. The two adjacent properties along Sandra
Avenue, 142 W. Sandra Avenue and 130 W. Sandra Avenue, have existing front yard
setbacks of 25'-0" and 21'-0", respectively, resulting in an average of 23'-0". Therefore, the
required front yard setback for the subject property is 25'-0" per Code. The proposed front
yard setbacks for the new living room and garage addition are 23'-0" and 24'-0",
respectively. Although the unfinished additions encroach into the required front yard setback
of 25'-0", it does not extend beyond the average front setbacks of the adjacent neighbors,
and therefore would not negatively affect the streetscape along Sandra Avenue.
The unfinished garage expansion currently align with the existing non-conforming easterly
side yard setback of 5'-2", in lieu of the minimum 8'-3" required, which is ten percent of the
lot width of 82'-0". Approval of this request would allow the garage expansion to be a
compatible continuation of the existing garage, would allow proper access to the existing
portion of the garage without any offsets. This request is also consistent with the expired
modification approvals for this property. It is staff's opinion that approval of these
modification requests would secure an appropriate improvement of the lot.
Single-Family Residential Design Review
The proposed addition will be "Ranch" style to match the existing house, consistent with the
previously approved plans for the project. The proposed vertical siding, concrete roof tiles,
and cultured stone veneer wainscoting are consistent with this architectural style, as shown
on the attached color renderings. It is staff's opinion that the proposal is consistent with the
City's Single-Family Architectural Design Guidelines.
Because of the long history of unfinished construction, staff recommends a number of
conditions of approval to limit the time that the applicant is allowed to submit plans for plan
check and obtain building permits, and complete construction. These conditions were
developed in consultation with the Building Official and Code Services.
This project will be required to comply with all current Building and Fire Codes, including the
2010 California Building Code, which requires the installation of a fire sprinkler system
throughout the entire house for a project exceeding 2,500 square feet in area.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed project qualifies as a Class 5 Exemption for Minor Alterations in Land Use
Limitations from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under
Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached
to this staff report.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Public notice of this item was mailed on August 30, 2013 to the owners of those properties
within 100-feet of the subject site. Staff received the attached letter of opposition from the
adjacent property owners, Samuel and Fanny Leung of 130 W. Sandra Avenue. They feel

that the reduced side yard setback would negatively impact their property, and that the
sanitary condition of the subject property is unacceptable.

MC 13-18 and Single-Family Architectural Design Review No. SFADR 13-48, subject to the
following conditions:

Hi Thomas,
We are the neighbor ,just easterly of of subject property. Our address is 130 W. Sandra Ave. We oppose the
modification based on:
THE SIDE SET BACK OF SUBJECT PROPERTY IS TOO CLOSE AND WE FEEL:
a)Most houses in our street have wide frontage of at least 83b;ck air c'�culation. Ww is very enjoy the previousewider
length of garage and back. It becomes a long and tall wall to
in-n-out air flow. It will ruin our enjoyment. The city is requesting a 10% side setback which must have its
practical reason.
b) Every time I pass the side walk, I feel myself walking on a very narrow street and feel very uncomfortable.
c)Due to the narrow side,many material from subject property material (eg the loose roof material or nails)
were blown to our side. We feel very unsafe.
d) We lose some privacy.Noises from neighbor become so easily be heard. Sometimes, I can hear clearly what
they said. We also do not want our conversations to be heard too.
e) It will affect the value of my house. Many buyers do not like They too close
disghbor from neighbors than hat
privacy,they do not want to be felt like living in the apartment. y proper
is what a single family house for. I believe my house worth over 1.1 to 1.2 million now. I have to make sure my
future buyers are happy and have no hassle.
We strongly oppose to the modification. Hope city can settle this matter soon.
We have been suffered our neighbor for over 8 years. Our neighbor property y has been left unattended.awn Many cat seep
breeding season after season
ink water. Coaches become cats shed
r our their
se these few years.That place is very
come to our pool to drink
unhygienic now.
Please confirm receipt of this message.We will not be able to attend the public hearing this time. Please confirm
receipt of this email and bring our concerns to the hearings.
Regards,
Residents of 130 W. Sandra Ave., Arcadia, CA 91007
