TPM 13-11 (72502), MODIFICATION NO. MP 13-08, AND MULTIPLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. MFADR 13-18 WITH A CLASS 3 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A FOUR-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 316-324 S. THIRD AVENUE Recommended Action: Find that this project qualifies as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption from CEQA; Conditionally Approve Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 13-11, Modification No. MP 13-08, and Multiple- Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 13-18; and adopt Resolution No. 1885 SUMMARY Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 13-11, Modification No. MP 13-08, and Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 13-18 were submitted by the designer Mr. Robert Tong, and property owner, Modern Alps Investment, LLC, for a four-unit, residential condominium development at 316-324 S. Third Avenue. An aerial photo with zoning information, the Tentative Parcel Map, and the proposed architectural plans are attached. The Modification request will allow two of the units to be set back 25'-0" in lieu of the required 35'-0" special setback along Third Avenue. Other than this Zoning Modification, the proposed development and subdivision will be consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Regulations, and Subdivision Code; and as new construction of small structures this project qualifies as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve application nos. TPM 13-11, MP 13-08, and MFADR 13- 18 with the CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report, and adopt Resolution No. 1885. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Mr. Robert Tong, Designer, and Modern Alps Investment, LLC, Property Owner LOCATION: 316-324 S. Third Avenue REQUESTS: Approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review, and the following Zoning Modification for a four-unit, residential condominium development: • A 25'-0" street side yard setback along Third Avenue in lieu of the 35'-0" special setback requirement (AMC Sec. 9320.73.7) SITE AREA: 16,800 square feet (0.39 acre) FRONTAGES: 140 feet along Third Avenue and 120 feet along Diamond Street EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is improved with two, single-family residences, constructed in 1940 and 1953, and is zoned R-2, Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential. The maximum density limit for the site is one unit per 3,750 square feet of lot area for a maximum of four units. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: One-story, Single-family residence, zoned R-2 South: One-story, 2-unit, multiple-family residential developments, zoned R-2 East: Two-story, 6-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-2 West: Single and multiple family residential developments, zoned R-2 GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: Medium Density Residential — This designation accommodates varied housing types and sizes within a suburban neighborhood context. Permitted residential uses include detached and attached residences with private and/or shared yards and open space areas. Other uses that may be appropriate, consistent with zoning regulations, include public and private schools, public parks, and other open space areas. This designation accommodates 6 to 12 dwelling units per acre. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, Architectural Design Review, and a special setback Modification for a proposed four-unit residential condominium development. The site is zoned R-2, Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential, and has a total land area of approximately 16,800 square feet. The R-2 zone has a maximum dwelling unit density of one unit per 3,750 square feet of lot area, which calculates to a maximum of four units for the subject site. The proposed TPM 13-11, MP 13-08, MFADR 13-18 316-324 S. Third Avenue October 22, 2013— Page 2 of 8 development will consist of four, two-story units that will range in size from 2,650 square feet to 2,881 square feet. Each unit will have an attached two-car garage, and two on- site 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 four 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: Al. 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 single-family residences and replace it with a residential development that is consistent in character with the Medium 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 French County— see the attached plans. The French Country design features the following architectural elements: terracotta, tan, and brown blend concrete tile roofing; stucco walls with a light warm color; pre-cast concrete trim; dark brown rain gutters and awnings; and dark green window shutters. The massing and scale of the building is in character with other multiple-family buildings in the vicinity (photos of the site and neighborhood are attached). The architecture and landscaping of the proposed development will be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and are consistent with the City's Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines. TPM 13-11, MP 13-08, MFADR 13-18 316-324 S. Third Avenue October 22, 2013 — Page 3 of 8 Modification • A 25'-0" street side yard setback along Third Avenue in lieu of the 35'-0" special setback requirement (AMC Sec. 9320.73.7). The applicant is requesting a 25'-0" westerly street side yard setback in lieu of the 35'-0" special setback required along this portion of Third Avenue. The intent of the special setback requirement is to allow for future street widening and to promote neighborhood compatibility. The City Engineer has reviewed the proposal and has no objections to the requested setback Modification as there are no plans to widen this part of Third Avenue. As shown on the attached aerial photo, most of the existing residences along this portion of Third Avenue encroach into the special setback. Approval of this request would secure an appropriate improvement and provide for uniformity of development. With approval of the requested Modification, the proposed development will be consistent with the City's Zoning Regulations, as well as the City's General Plan, Subdivision Code, and Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines. In addition, 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 new construction of small structures, is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. The proposed four-unit residential project will be consistent with the General Plan and Zoning Code, and will be in an urbanized area. 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. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for TPM 13-11, MP 13-08, and MFADR 13-18 were published in the local newspaper on October 10, 2013 and mailed to the property owners and tenants of those properties that are within 300 feet of the subject property on October 11, 2013 — see the attached radius map.
