No. 1891
SUMMARY
Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 13-13, Zone Variance No. ZV 13-04, and Multiple-
Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 13-23 were submitted by the designer
Mr. Robert Tong, and property owner, Mur-Sol Development, LLC, for a four-unit,
residential condominium development at 225 Santa Rosa Road. An aerial photo with
zoning information, the Tentative Parcel Map, and the proposed architectural plans are
attached. The Zone Variance request will allow the property to be developed with four
residential condominium units in lieu of the five-unit minimum density requirement.
Other than this Zone Variance, the proposed development and subdivision would 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 13-13, ZV
13-04, and MFADR 13-23 with the CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in
this staff report, and adopt Resolution No. 1891.
BACKGROUND
APPLICANTS: Mr. Robert Tong, Designer, and Mur-Sol Development, LLC, Property
Owner
LOCATION: 225 Santa Rosa Road
REQUESTS: Approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, the following Zone Variance, and
Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review for a four-unit, residential
condominium development:
• Four dwelling units in lieu of the five-unit minimum density
requirement
SITE AREA: 13,185 square feet (0.30 acre)
FRONTAGE: 110 feet along Santa Rosa Road
EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING:
The site is improved with two, single-family residences, constructed in 1950, and
is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential, which has a maximum
density of one unit per 1,450 square feet, and a minimum density of one unit per
2,200 square feet. An 18-foot wide easement for access to the adjacent flood
control channel runs along the south side of the site.
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: One-story, single-family residence, zoned R-1
South: One-story, office building, zoned C-2 with a Downtown Overlay
East: Two-story, four-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-3
West: Two-story motel (Motel 6) and flood control channel, zoned C-2 with a
Downtown Overlay
GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION:
High Density Residential (12 to 30 dwelling units per acre) — 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 the use of yards, other open areas,
and building heights. Other uses that may be appropriate, consistent with zoning
regulations, include public and private schools, public parks, and other open
space uses.

DISCUSSION
The applicant is requesting approval of a Tentative Parcel Map, Zone Variance, and
Architectural Design Review, for a proposed four-unit residential condominium
development. The site is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential, and has
a total land area of approximately 13,185 square feet. The density requirement in the
R-3 zones ranges from one unit per 1,450 square feet to 2,200 square feet of lot area,
which calculates to a maximum of nine units, and a minimum of five units for the subject
site. The applicant is requesting a Zone Variance to allow the development of four
residential condominium units, in lieu of the minimum requirement of five units because
there is an 18-foot wide easement along the south portion of the site that cannot be
developed.
The proposed development will consist of four, two-story units that will range in size
from 1,893 square feet to 2,030 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 of High Density
Residential.
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 is consistent with the City's General Plan, and 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
single-family residences and replace it 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.

Zone Variance
The applicant is requesting to develop four residential condominium units on the subject
property, in lieu of five units required per the minimum density requirements of Arcadia
Municipal Code Section 9255.2.7. This is requested because there is an 18-foot wide
access easement to the East Branch of the Arcadia Wash along the southerly portion of
the site that must be maintained, and therefore cannot be built on. This effectively
reduces the area of the lot that can be developed from 13,185 square feet to 10,636
square feet. Applying the minimum density requirement to the 10,636 square-foot area
results in four units. A Zone Variance is necessary because the minimum density
requirement does not take into account easements or other property development
limitations.
Per Section 9291.1.2 of the Arcadia Municipal Code, before a variance may be granted,
the following four findings must be made:
A.3. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable
to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not apply
generally to the property or class of use in the same zone or vicinity.
Facts to Support the Finding: The subject property has an 18-foot wide access
easement, reducing the developable area of the lot by 2,549 square feet. This is
an exceptional condition.
A.4. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public
health or welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in such zone or
vicinity in which the property is located.
Facts to Support the Finding: A Multiple-family development on this site would
not have these effects, and allowing four residential units in lieu of five units on
the subject property would not affect other properties or improvements in the R-3
zone, or in the vicinity of the subject property.
A.5. That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the applicant possessed by other property in the same
zone and vicinity.
Facts to Support the Finding: This variance is necessary to allow this site to be
developed in a manner similar to other R-3 zoned properties, which do not have
substantial access easements that significantly reduce the developable area of a
property.
A.6. That the granting of such variance will not adversely affect the comprehensive
general plan.
Facts to Support the Finding: The proposal will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan because a four-unit multiple-family developed on
TPM 13-13, ZV 13-04, MFADR 13-23
225 Santa Rosa Road
December 10, 2013— Page 4 of 10
this site is consistent with the High Density Residential Land Use Designation of
the property, including the density requirement of 12 to 30 units per acre. The
subject proposal has a density of 13 units per acre with the easement, and a
density of 16 units per acre without the easement.
Architectural Design Review
Concurrent with the Tentative Parcel Map and Zone Variance applications, 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 the attached plans. The Mediterranean design features the
following architectural elements: Terracotta, dark brown, maroon, and orange blend
concrete tile roofing; "Pacific Sand" color stucco walls; pre-cast concrete trim; dark
brown rain gutters and awnings; and back window shutters. To enhance the front
elevation of the proposal, the designer has submitted a revised partial front elevation
showing a revised window layout. This is included with the architectural plans attached
to this staff report. Staff concurs with the designer that the revised window layout
enhances the aesthetic quality of the building. The massing and scale of the buildings
will be 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 also be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and are
consistent with the City's Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines.
With approval of the requested Zone Variance, 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, or their respective designees. 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, which will be 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.
