TTM 73030 ANDMULTIPLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. MFADR 14-10WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDERTHE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A 20-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 415 CALIFORNIA STREET Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1934 SUMMARY The applicant, New World International Investment, LLC, is requesting approval of a Multiple-Family Architectural Design ReviewApplicationand aTentative TractMap for a 20-unit residential condominium projectat 415 California Street.The proposed development and subdivision areconsistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning Code, andSubdivision Code.As aninfill development,the proposed development qualifies for a Categorical Exemption underthe California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1934(Attachment No. 1)to approveTentative Tract MapNo. TTM 73030 and Design Review No. MFADR 14-10with a CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject property is a30,643 square-foot site zoned R-3,HighDensity Multiple- Family Residential. Itis currently developed with 10 residential units consisting ofa one- story, single-family residence constructed in 1932, and two,two-story multiple-family buildings constructed in 1978 –refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Surrounding Properties. PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures and construct a20-unit residentialcondominium developmentwith asubterraneanparkinggarage –see Attachments 3 & 4 for the Tentative Tract Map & Architectural Plans.The proposed development consists of five,two-story, four-unit residential buildings. Each unit is a two-story unit with anexterior entrance accessed from a pedestrian walkway, and a TTM 73030 & MFADR 14-10 415 California Street February 10, 2015 –Page 2of 8 subterranean two-car garage with direct access to the interior of theunit. In addition, there are 10 guest parking spaces within the subterranean garagein compliance with the zoning requirement of one guest parking space for every two residential units. ANALYSIS The R-3 zone has a minimum density of one unit per 2,200 square-feet of land area, and a maximum density of one unit per 1,450 square feet of land area. This calculates to a minimum of 13 units and a maximum of 21 units for the subject property.The proposed 20-unit development is in compliance with the density requirements. The subject property is a deep,but relatively narrowlot. It is over 400 feetin depth,but only75 feetin width.The proposed 20-unit development is awell-thought out design for such asite. Pedestrian walkwaysand multiple courtyards provide goodconnectivity among the units, from the subterranean parking, and withthe street. The use of a subterranean parking garage withplacement of the driveway along the west edge of the property minimizes the visual impact of the vehicular accessway.And, private outdoor open spacesareincorporated into the design for each unit, as well as landscaped common open spaceareaswithin the courtyards and alongthe pedestrian walkways. Minor revisions to the configurations and enclosures of the private open spaces, and to the front yard landscapingare needed to comply with the Open Space provisions of the R-3Zoning Code requirements. These revisions are included as condition of approval no. 1, and include upgrading ofthe front yard landscapingandtrees. With thiscondition, the project complies with all of the R-3 Zoning Code regulations. 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 Mediterraneanin appearance– see Attachment No. 4 (Architectural Plans). The massing, scale, and quality of designof the proposed buildings and landscaping match or exceed thecharacter of theother multiple-family developments in the vicinity. The proposed development will beconsistent with the City’s General Plan, Subdivision Code, the State Subdivision Map Act, the City’s Zoning Code, andthe Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines.The proposed plans have been reviewed by the various City Departments, and all City requirements shall be complied with to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director,or their respective designees. FINDINGS Tentative Tract Map The proposal for 20residential condominium units requires that they be subdivided through the Tentative Tract Map process –see Attachment No. 3 for the 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 TTM 73030 & MFADR 14-10 415 California Street February 10, 2015 –Page 3of 8 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. The proposed project will replace the existing single-familyand multiple-family residential buildingswith a new, 20-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. 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 The proposed Mediterranean style architecture of thedesign iscompatiblewith other developments in the area and is consistent with the City’s Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building safety, health code compliance, emergency equipment, environmental regulation compliance, parking, landscaping,and site design shall be complied with by the property owner/applicant to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Community Development Administrator, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) the Development Services Department has determined that the proposed project qualifies as infill development, and is therefore categorically exempt from further environmental reviewper Section 15332of the CEQA Guidelines. See Attachment No. 5 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
