TTM 73061 AND MULTIPLE-FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. MFADR 14-11 WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A 10-UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 1222 TEMPLE CITY BOULEVARD Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1942 SUMMARY The applicant, Mr. Stanley Tsai, is requesting approval of a Multiple-Family Architectural Design Review and a Tentative Tract Map for a 10-unit residential condominium project at 1222 Temple City Boulevard. The proposed development and subdivision are consistent with the City’s General Plan, Zoning and Subdivision Codes, and the State Subdivision Map Act. As an infill development, the proposed development qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1942 (Attachment No. 1) to approve Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 73061 and Design Review No. MFADR 14-11 with a CEQA exemption, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject site has a lot size of 18,560 square-feet and is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential. The lot is currently developed with three residential buildings constructed in 1962 that contain a total of four dwelling units. Refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Surrounding Properties. An evaluation of the existing buildings was performed by an Architectural Historian in accordance with the City’s Certificate of Demolition requirements for structures 50 years or older. The evaluation found that based on the architecture, none of the existing structures are historically significant – see Attachment No. 3 for the Historical Evaluation. A Certificate of Demolition was approved on August 20, 2014, for the subject property. TTM 73061 and MFADR 14-11 1222 Temple City Boulevard July 14, 2015 – Page 2 of 9 PROPOSAL The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures and construct a 10-unit residential condominium development with a subterranean parking garage – see Attachments No. 4 and No. 5 for the Tentative Tract Map and Architectural Plans. The proposed development consists of two, two-story, five-unit residential buildings. Each unit is a two- story unit with an exterior en- trance accessed from a pedes- trian walkway, and with a sub- terranean two- car garage with direct access to the unit. Nine of the units will have three bed- rooms and two and a half bath- rooms and living areas of 1,455 to 1,834 square- feet. The front unit is proposed to have four bedrooms and two and one half bathrooms with a living area of 2,391 square-feet. There are seven guest parking spaces within the subterranean garage, which is two more than the five guest parking spaces required by the Zoning Code. 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 eight units and a maximum of 12 units for the subject property. The proposed 10-unit development is in compliance with the density requirements. The proposed development is a well-thought out design with pedestrian walkways that provide good connectivity among the units and to the street. The placement of the driveway along the north side of the property will allow for safer vehicular access to the street because visibility from the driveway will not be blocked by the 6’-0” tall wall that is located along the property line on the neighboring lot. Private outdoor open spaces are incorporated into the design for each unit, as well as landscaped, common open space areas within the courtyards and along the pedestrian walkways. 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 Attachment No. 5 for the Architectural Plans. The massing, scale, and quality of design of the proposed TTM 73061 and MFADR 14-11 1222 Temple City Boulevard July 14, 2015 – Page 3 of 9 buildings and landscaping match or exceed the character of the other multiple-family developments in the vicinity. The proposed development will be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Multiple- Family Residential Design Guidelines, Zoning and Subdivision Codes, and the State Subdivision Map Act. 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 10 residential condominium units requires that they be subdivided through the Tentative Tract Map process – see Attachment No. 4 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 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-family and multiple-family residential buildings with a new, 10-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 architectural style for the development is Spanish and will include characteristics associated with this style, including white stucco walls, a decorative Talavera tile wall relief on the front elevation, and black wrought iron accents and balcony railing. See Attachment No. 5 for the Architectural Plans. The roof will have gable accents, and be covered in Spanish tile. The Spanish style architecture of the TTM 73061 and MFADR 14-11 1222 Temple City Boulevard July 14, 2015 – Page 4 of 9 design is compatible with 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 an infill development, and is therefore Categorically Exempt from environmental review per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. See Attachment No. 6 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. PUBLIC NOTICE The public hearing notice for this item was published in the local newspaper and mailed to the owners and tenants of those properties that are located within 300 feet of the subject property on July 2, 2015. On July 6, 2015, the City received a letter of opposition (see Attachment No. 7) from the homeowner’s association of the condominiums immediately to the north of the subject property. Their concerns regard possible impacts associated with the construction of the subterranean garage and the loss of views and privacy. Subterranean construction is common for multiple- family developments. A detailed shoring plan by a licensed engineer is required as a condition of approval, and will be reviewed by the City’s plan check consultants. The height and design of the proposed development is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines and Zoning Regulations. The loss of views for the residents to the north of the subject property is unavoidable with the development of the subject property. Two-story units are allowed and generally necessary to provide the type of units TTM 73061 and MFADR 14-11 1222 Temple City Boulevard July 14, 2015 – Page 5 of 9 the current market is seeking, and to meet the minimum density requirements of the General Plan and Zoning Code, which for the subject property is at least eight units. As of July 9, 2015, no other comments were received regarding this project.
