C' ti d Development Services Department DATE: January 28, 2014 TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator By: Nick Baldwin, Assistant Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 1895 — TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. TTM 72514 AND MULTIPLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. MFADR 13-31 WITH A CLASS 32 CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR AN 18-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 825 ARCADIA AVENUE Recommended Action: Find that this project qualifies as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption from CEQA; Conditionally Approve Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 72514 and Multiple- Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 13-31; and adopt Resolution No. 1895 SUMMARY Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 72514 and Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review No. 13-31 were submitted by Mr. Jasen Grohs for an 18-unit, residential- condominium development at 825 Arcadia Avenue. An aerial photo with zoning information and the proposed Tentative Tract Map are attached. The proposed development and subdivision are consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Regulations, and Subdivision Code; and as 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. TTM 72514 and MFADR 13-31 with a CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report, and adopt Resolution No. 1895. BACKGROUND APPLICANT: Mr. Jasen Grohs LOCATION: 825 Arcadia Avenue REQUEST: Approval of a Tentative Tract Map and Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review for an 18-unit, residential- condominium development. SITE AREA: 37,797 square-feet (0.87 acre) FRONTAGE: 140 feet along Arcadia Avenue EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: The site is currently developed with an 18-unit, two-story, multiple-family development that was built in 1968. The site is zoned R-3, Multiple-Family Residential. The minimum density for the site is one (1) unit per 2,200 square-feet, or 17 units. The maximum density is one (1) unit per 1,450 square-feet, or 26 units. SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: Two-story, 28-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-3 South: Two-story, 28-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-3 East: Two-story, 16-unit, multiple-family residential development, zoned R-3 West: Two-story, 4-unit, multiple-family residential development, 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 17 to 26 dwelling units per acre. DISCUSSION The applicant is requesting a Tentative Tract Map and Architectural Design Review for the proposed 18-unit residential condominium development. The site is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential, and has a total land area of approximately 37,797 square feet. The R-3 zone has a maximum density of one (1) unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area, and a minimum density of one (1) unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area. Based on these density factors, a maximum of twenty-six (26) units would be allowed on the subject site, and a minimum of seventeen (17) units is required. The applicant's proposal to develop eighteen (18) residential condominium units is consistent with the density requirements. TTM 72514 & MFADR 13-31 825 Arcadia Ave. January 28, 2014 Page 2 of 9 The proposed development will consist of 18 two-story units of approximately 1,700 square-feet in size. Each unit will have an attached two-car garage, and nine on-site guest parking spaces will be provided. The proposed development is consistent with the City's General Plan, Zoning Code, Subdivision Code, and State Subdivision Map Act. Tentative Tract Map The proposal for 18 residential condominium units requires that they be subdivided through the Tentative Tract Map process — see the attached Tentative Tract 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 Tract 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 18-unit multiple-family development and replace it with a new 18- unit 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 Spanish — see the attached plans. The design features the following architectural elements: S- tile roofing, tan stucco walls with brown moldings, reddish brown shutters and awnings, dark grey wrought-iron accents, and decorative ceramic tiles. The massing and scale of the buildings are in character with other multiple-family TTM 72514 & MFADR 13-31 825 Arcadia Ave. January 28, 2014 Page 3 of 9 buildings in the vicinity — see the attached photos of the site and neighboring properties. The proposed development is consistent with the City's Zoning Regulations, as well as with 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 Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the Development Services Department has determined that the proposed project is an infill development project, and is therefore categorically exempt from further environmental review per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. A Preliminary Exemption Assessment is attached. It is recommended that the Planning Commission find that this project is exempt from CEQA. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS Public hearing notices for TTM 72514 and MFADR 13-31 were published in the local newspaper and mailed to the property owners and tenants of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property on January 17, 2014 — see the attached radius map. As of January 23, 2014, no comments have been received regarding this project.

Authorize and direct the Development Services Director or designee to approve and execute, if necessary, a subdivision agreement for this project. Denial If the Planning Commission is to take action to deny this project, the Commission should make specific findings based on the evidence presented with specific reasons for denial, and move to deny Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 72514 and/or Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 13-31 and direct staff to prepare a resolution for adoption at the next meeting that incorporates the Commission's decision and specific findings. The Planning Commission may wish to consider the following findings, which must be expanded upon with specific reasons for denial: D.1. That the proposed map is not consistent with the applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 66451 of the Subdivision Map Act. D.2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans and/or the City's Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines. D.3. That the site is not physically suitable for the type of development. D.4. That the site is not physically suitable for the density of development. D.5.
