TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission
FROM: Jim Kasama, Community Development Administrator
By: Thomas Li, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE APPROVAL OF
MODIFICATION APPLICATION NO. MC 14-18 AND SINGLE-FAMILY
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. SFADR 14-112 WITH A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A NEW, TWO-STORY
MODERN-STYLE RESIDENCE WITH MODIFICATIONS TO THE FRONT
YARD AND STREET SIDE YARD SETBACKS AT 1217 SOUTH
MAYFLOWER AVENUE
Recommendation: Conditional Approval
SUMMARY
The applicant, Mr. Scott Yang, is requesting approval of Zoning Modifications and
Single-Family Architectural Design Review for a new, 5,046 square-foot, two-story,
Modern-style, single-family residence at 1217 South Mayflower Avenue. Construction
of one single-family residence and Modifications are exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission
approve the subject applications, subject to the conditions listed in this report, based on
the findings that the proposal would secure an appropriate improvement of the lot, and
that the revised design meets the City’s Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines.
The Planning Commission initially considered the subject applications at the April 14,
2015, regular meeting. At that hearing, staff recommended denial of the project based
on a determination that the proposal encroached too far into the setbacks, and that the
request for a second driveway was unnecessary. The applicant agreed to make
changes to address staff’s concerns, and the Commission continued the public hearing
to allow the applicant time to work with staff on an acceptable solution. The plans have
been revised to reduce the proposed front yard setback Modification request, and the
request for a second driveway has been eliminated.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 12,400 square-foot corner lot, and is developed with a 988
square-foot, one-story, single-family residence – refer to Attachment No. 1 for an Aerial
Photo with Zoning Information. The property is a reverse corner lot, where its rear
MC 14-18 & SFADR 14-112
1217 S. Mayflower Avenue

property line abuts the neighbor’s side property line. The front of the lot measures 105
feet along South Mayflower Avenue and the street side is 118 feet along El Sur Avenue.
At the April 14, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, the applicant requested the
following Modifications for a new, 5,268 square-foot, two-story residence with three
garage parking spaces:
1) A 29’-10” first floor setback and a 38’-4” second floor setback in lieu of the
minimum requirement of 43’-11” for the front yard setback, and the required 40’-0”
special setback from Mayflower Avenue;
2) A 25’-0” first floor setback and a 29’-0” second floor setback in lieu of the required
35’-0” special setback from El Sur Avenue; and
3) Two driveways (one off of El Sur Avenue and one off of Mayflower Avenue) in lieu
of one driveway on a lot.
Staff recommended denial of the above requests because the front yard setback
encroachment was excessive, and the request for two driveways was unnecessary. At
the hearing, the applicant agreed to modify the first floor front setback of the proposal to
35’-0”, but wished to keep the two driveway configuration. Based on the applicant’s
concession on the setback encroachment, the Planning Commission continued the
hearing to allow the applicant time to work with staff and prepare revised plans for
further review and consideration.
For the current proposal, the plans have been revised to provide a minimum 35’-0” front
yard setback, and the one-car garage that was proposed to be at the rear of the
property off of El Sur Avenue has been eliminated. A three-car garage facing Mayflower
Avenue is provided instead of two separate garages as originally proposed. The
minimum 25’-0” street side setback has not been altered.
PROPOSAL
The applicant will demolish the existing structures on the site and build a new 5,046
square-foot, two-story, Modern-style, single-family residence with an attached three-car
garage, as shown on Attachment No. 2 – the Architectural Plans. The proposed
residence has an overall lot coverage of approximately 32%, and an overall building
height of 27’-0” from the average existing grade. A maximum lot coverage of 35% is
allowed, and 30’-0” is the maximum allowed height.
The subject property is required to provide a front yard setback of 43’-11”, based on the
average of the two developed lots to the north of the subject property along Mayflower
Avenue. There is also a special setback of 40’-0” along Mayflower Avenue. By Code, a
reverse corner lot is required to have a street side yard setback of 25’-0”. But, there is a
special setback of 35’-0” along El Sur Avenue. The applicant is requesting approval of
the following setback Modifications:
1) A 35’-0” first floor setback and a 38’-4” second floor setback in lieu of the average
setback requirement of 43’-11” for the front yard, and the required 40’-0” special
setback from Mayflower Avenue; and
MC 14-18 & SFADR 14-112
1217 S. Mayflower Avenue
June 9, 2015 – Page 3 of 6
2) A 25’-0” first floor setback and a 29’-0” second floor setback in lieu of the required
35’-0” special setback from El Sur Avenue.
Approval of the requested Modifications will provide setbacks that are compatible with
the surrounding developments, except for the two houses to the north, which have
unusual front setbacks of 29’-10” and 58’-0”. The requested setbacks allow a 69’-6”
wide by 58’-0” deep first floor for a proposed first floor area of 2,956 square feet, and a
55’-0” wide by 44’-8” deep second floor for a proposed area of 2,090 square feet. The
proposed design includes an attached three-car garage accessed by a single driveway
from Mayflower Avenue.
These applications are subject to approval by the Planning Commission per Arcadia
Municipal Code Section 9252.2.11. All setback Modifications for a new dwelling shall be
approved by the Planning Commission, or the City Council upon appeal.
ANALYSIS
The 43’-11” requirement for the subject property is determined by averaging the front
setbacks of the two nearest developed lots. In this case, these are the two lots to the
north. Both of these properties have unusual front setbacks. The adjacent property has
a front setback of 29’-10” and the second lot to the north has a 58’-0” front setback. The
majority of the homes in the neighborhood have 35’-0” front yard setbacks.
The proposed 35’-0” front yard setback is 5’-2” further back from Mayflower Avenue
than the 29’-10” setback of the adjacent neighbor to the north, and it is 23’-0” less than
the 58’-0” setback of the second neighbor to the north. But, the requested 35’-0” front
yard setback is consistent with the general development pattern of the neighborhood.
The applicant has provided a diagram (Attachment No. 3) of the setbacks of the homes
in the immediate neighborhood. It shows that the two houses to the north of the subject
property have unusual front yard setbacks, and that the house at the north end of the
block has a 38’-0” front yard setback. The homes across the street have 35’-0” front
yard setbacks. The proposed front yard setback will be consistent with the setbacks of a
majority of the surrounding developments. Approval of the front yard setback
Modification request will secure an appropriate improvement of the lot.
The intent of the special setbacks was 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 Modifications to encroach into the special setbacks of 40’-0”
and 35’-0” along Mayflower Avenue and El Sur Avenue, respectively, as there are no
plans to widen these streets. Therefore, the requests to encroach into the special
setbacks are acceptable.
Apart from the subject Modification requests, the proposal meets all other R-1 zoning
regulations. The requested setbacks for the El Sur Avenue street side yard comply with
the standard street side yard requirement of 25’-0”. The proposed design also complies
with the 30-degree front yard angle from Mayflower Avenue and the 40-degree street
side yard angle from El Sur Avenue.

Architectural Design Review
The designer describes the proposal as a “Modern” style residence based on
architectural features that include a “charcoal” smooth concrete tile roof, a mix of “Clay”
and “Crystal White” smooth stucco, “tongue and groove” eaves and wood siding, and
trellis screening accents – see Attachment No. 2 for the Architectural Plans. The
proposed floor plan is properly modulated and articulated to break up the building mass,
and the three-car garage is designed with visual relief. The one-car garage portion will
be slightly recessed and the door finished with wood panels to blend in with the wall
sidings. The proposed design is consistent with the City’s Single-Family Residential
Design Guidelines.
FINDINGS
Section 9292.1.4 of the Arcadia Municipal Code states that the purpose of the
Modification procedures is for the following:
1. Secure an appropriate improvement of a lot,
2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship, or
3. Promote uniformity of development.
The requested Modifications will allow the proposal to provide setbacks that are
consistent with the development pattern in the neighborhood. The architectural design
of the building is compatible and harmonious with the neighboring properties (see
Attachment No. 4 for Photos of the Subject Property and Surrounding Properties), and
is consistent with the City’s Single-Family Residential Design Guidelines. Approval of
the requested Modifications and the proposed design will secure an appropriate
improvement of the lot.
All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building
safety, health code compliance, emergency equipment, environmental regulation
compliance, and parking 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 ASSESSMENT
This project involves minor alterations to land use limitations, and qualifies as a Class 5
Categorical Exemption per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 5
for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
For the April 14, 2015 meeting, public hearing notices were mailed to the property
owners of those properties that are located within 100 feet of the subject property on
April 2, 2015. Staff did not receive any comments in response to the notice. At the
MC 14-18 & SFADR 14-112
1217 S. Mayflower Avenue
June 9, 2015 – Page 5 of 6
meeting, the applicant spoke to explain the proposal, and a neighbor, Mr. Rodney
Williamson spoke in favor of having the property improved.
Because this item was continued to a date uncertain, public hearing notices for the
continuance of this item were mailed to the owners of the same properties that are
located within 100 feet of the subject property on May 28, 2015 – refer to Attachment
No. 6 for the radius map. As of June 4, 2015, no comments have been received.
RECOMMENDATION

an exemption from CEQA per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines, subject to the
following conditions:
1. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits,
building safety, health code compliance, emergency equipment, environmental
regulation compliance, and parking 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.
2. 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,

3. Approval of MC 14-18 and SFADR 14-112 shall not be of effect unless on or before
30 calendar days after Planning Commission approval of the applications, the
property owner and applicant have executed and filed with the Community
Development Administrator or designee an Acceptance Form available from the
Development Services Department to indicate awareness and acceptance of these
