CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”), FOR A TEN UNIT
RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 837-841½ W.
HUNTINGTON DRIVE Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
The Appellants, the neighboring property owners and residents of 845-853 W.
Huntington Drive, have filed an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 17-02 (74941), Multiple Family Architectural
Design Review No. MFADR 16-10, and Protected Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE
16-54, for a ten unit, residential condominium development at 837-841½ W. Huntington
Drive.
It is recommended that the City Council deny the appeal and approve TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, and TRE 16-54, subject to the conditions listed in this staff
report, find that the project is Categorically Exempt under California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”). This would be accomplished through adoption of Resolution No.
7183 – refer to Attachment No. 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 19,500 square foot, interior lot, zoned R-3, High Density
Multiple Family Residential. The properties to the south, east, and west are also zoned
R-3. The properties to the north are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, with an
Architectural Design Review Overlay (Santa Anita Village Association).The site is
currently developed with eight apartment units in four, one story, multiple family

buildings, and two, four-car carports – see Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with
Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Vicinity.
A Certificate of Demolition for the subject property was approved on August 12, 2016 – see Attachment No. 3 for the Historical Report. Based on the evaluation by an Architectural Historian, the property does not meet any of the requirements for
recognition as an historical resource, nor is it eligible for listing on the California
Register. The site and/or structures do not uniquely represent the post-World War II
housing boom, the buildings are not the work of a master architect, nor are they of artistic value, and they are not associated with any significant events or persons.
The Applicants, Mr. Scott Yang and Mr. Pison Netsawang, are proposing to demolish
the existing structures and construct a 10-unit residential condominium development in
four, three-story, Spanish style, townhome buildings with parking at grade-level - – refer
to Attachment No. 4 for the Proposed Architectural Plans. The proposal was first considered at the April 25, 2017, Planning Commission meeting – the associated Staff Report and Meeting Minutes are included in Attachment 6. During the public hearing,
three adjacent neighbors located in the single family residences north of the subject
property spoke in opposition to the project because of the potential loss in privacy with
the building situated approximately 14-feet from the rear property line, the number of windows that faced their property, and the building being three stories rather than two stories, even though it does not exceed the maximum height limit of 33-feet. The
Planning Commission closed the public hearing and discussed the design of the project,
as well as setback concerns, and overall privacy impacts resulting from the
development. The Planning Commission voted 4-0, with one Commissioner absent, to continue the item to a date uncertain to allow the Applicants to meet with the neighbors to discuss their issues, and hopefully come to a solution to mitigate their concerns.
The Applicants, with assistance from a neighboring property owner, organized a
meeting with the neighbors on July 1, 2017; approximately 10 residents attended the
meeting. According to the Applicants, the neighbors expressed concerns regarding the number of windows and their location on the rear elevation that faces their properties to the north, the perception that the structure will appear taller with three stories, and the
height of the fence and wall at the rear property line not being tall enough due to the
grade difference between the neighboring properties. To address these concerns, the
Applicants made significant changes to the original design, as outlined below. Figure 1 is a rendering comparing the previous and current proposal.
1. Building setback – The northerly building was relocated to provide a greater rear
yard setback:
• The ground floor is now 26’-0” from the rear property line, whereas it was
previously 16’-6” (increase of 9’-6”);
• The second floor is now 23’-2” from the rear property line, whereas it was
previously 14’-0” (increase of 9’-2”);

• The third floor is now 30’-6” from the rear property line, whereas it was previously
14’-0” (increase of 16’-6”).
2. Windows – To address privacy, the north facing windows were either reduced in size, or eliminated:
• The windows on the second floor were reduced in size from 5'-0" high by 3'-0”
wide to decorative windows that are 1'-4" high by 2'-0" wide and placed 6’-6”
above the finished floor.
• One window on the third floor was eliminated, and the other two windows on the
third floor were reduced in size from 3’-0” wide by 5’-0” high to 3’-0” wide by 4’-6”
high. Both windows will have privacy glass installed.
3. Parking Spaces – Two guest parking spaces were relocated from the middle of the property to the rear of the property to provide greater separation between the
proposed development and rear property line.
4. Landscaping - A 5’-6” planter area was added along the rear property line.
Approximately 25 Catalina Laurel trees are to be planted along the rear property line
at a minimum height of 10’-0” at the time of planting.
5. Rear Perimeter Wall - The Applicants stated that they were also willing to build an
8’-0” high block wall along the rear (northerly) property line to further address the
neighbors’ concerns regarding privacy and security. Due to the two foot grade
difference, the height of the wall will be 6’-0” on the high side which is the
neighboring property and 8’-0” on the low side, which is the subject property. The
overall height of the new wall would exceed the maximum height requirement of 6’-
0”, but is warranted due to the grade difference.

Following the meeting that the Applicants had with the neighbors in July, Staff received
five comment letters from the neighbors – refer to Attachment No. 5 for the Neighbor
Comment Letters. The neighbors still had concerns regarding the proposed building height, loss of privacy, loss in property values, and that the proposed buildings could affect their air circulation.
On August 22, 2017, the Planning Commission considered the revised proposal. Three
neighbors spoke in opposition to the revised proposal. A spokesperson for the Appellants, Ms. Haihong He, located in the 10-unit residential condominium development west of the subject property, raised concerns regarding the loss of privacy
due to the 10’-0” side yard setback and the proposed three story building. The loss of
solar access was also a concern. The other two neighbors who spoke in opposition to
the proposal were located in the single family residences north of the subject property. These neighbors did not find the revisions to be sufficient and raised concerns regarding the overall building height, a reduced quality of life, a loss of privacy, and the
potential loss in property values.
Commissioner Thompson raised some concerns with the proposed color palate for the
project but, along with the other Planning Commissioners, found that the revised proposal mitigated the concerns stated at the April 25, 2017, Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission added two new conditions of approval which
require the minimum height of the trees along the rear property line to be maintained at
a minimum height of 10’-0”, and requires that the temporary construction fencing along
the rear property line be a minimum of 10’-0” in height.
The Planning Commission voted 3-0, with one Commissioner absent, to adopt Resolution No.1991 and conditionally approved the revised proposal – refer to
Attachment No. 6 for August 22, 2017, Planning Commission Staff Report, Resolution
No. 1991, and Draft Meeting Minutes.
On September 5, 2017, Ms. He and the neighboring property owners and residents of 845-853 W. Huntington Drive filed an appeal of Planning Commission’s approval of the project – refer to Attachment No. 7 for the Appeal Letter.
DISCUSSION
In the appeal letter, the Appellants stated that the proposed development with the 10’-0”
side yard setback would reduce their natural light and minimize their privacy from the windows. They also have concerns with the location and lack of screening of the air conditioning units, the overall building height being slightly taller than their building, and
that there are no other three story multiple-family residences in the area.
The Applicant has provided a response to the Appellants’ Appeal Letter which
compares the building height, floor levels, and the window placement of the building on the Appellant’s property and the subject project. The Applicant has also provided photos of the property line wall and landscaping that is located on the Appellants’ property and
how it relates to the proposed project - refer to Attachment 8 for the Applicant’s
Resolution No. 7183 – TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, & TRE 16-54

Response. Figure 1 in the Applicant’s Response shows that, although they are
concerned about the height, there is a two foot grade difference between the Appellants’
property and the subject property; therefore, the proposed building will only be one foot higher than the Appellants’ residences. As such, the proposed development would not be more impactful if this was a two-story building at 30’-0” in height.
The Applicant also compared the location of the windows between the two properties.
Based on Figures 1 and 2 in Attachment No. 8, the proposed project’s windows and
balconies will not be aligned with the Appellants’ windows. The floor levels do not line up so there will not be direct sightlines. The Appellants’ property is developed with a six foot high block wall with dense vegetation planted along the property line. With the
existing block wall and landscaping, the ground floor will not be highly visible from the
Appellant’s property.
The Appellants also had privacy concerns regarding the proposed balconies on the second level. Second floor balconies adjacent to the side property lines are not unique in the R-3 zone, as they are tool used to break up wall planes, provide articulation, and
give future residents additional outdoor areas which can be limited in the multiple family
zones. The landscaping along the Appellants’ property line will obscure the view from
proposed balcony down into the Appellants’ first floor windows. To help obscure the Appellants’ second floor, the Applicant has stated that he is willing to incorporate additional landscaping in the private open space area of each unit. The additional
landscaping has been included as a condition of approval.
The proposed air conditioning units are located outside of the 10’-0” side yard setback,
11’-6” from the side property lines. The proposed location of the air conditioning units is not uncommon for a new development in the R-3 zone. With the existing block wall and landscaping to screen the units and reduce noise, the location of the air conditioning
units is satisfactory.
The proposed development complies with the current R-3 Zoning Regulations, which
allow for a 30’ height limit, and up to 33’ in height if the architectural style includes a pitched roof. The Appellants’ property is also zoned R-3 and is development with 10 residential condominum units in six buildings that are 30 feet in height with 10’-0” side
and rear yard setbacks (less than or equal to the proposed project). On the second
floor, window seats encroach 16 inches into the required side yard setback. The
proposed project provides a 10’-0” setback along the side property line. Along the rear, the setback varies from approximately 23’-0” to 30’-0”, whereas only 20’-0” is required. As stated earlier, the proposed development will only be one foot higher than the
Appellants’ development due to a two foot grade difference between the properties. The
additional landscaping along the side will help screen the balcony and mitigate the
privacy concerns. Therefore, the proposed development is consistent and compatible with the other newer multi-family developments in the area.

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. 9 for the proposed Tentative Tract Map. The following findings are required for approval of a Tentative
Tract Map:
A. The proposed map, subdivision design, and improvements are consistent
with the General Plan, any applicable specific plan, and the “Subdivisions” Division of the Development Code.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The design or improvement of the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Arcadia
General Plan. The General Plan designation for the subject site is High Density
Residential (HDR), which allows for higher density housing types for both rental and owner occupied households. The Zoning designation for the site is R-3, High Density Residential. The properties to the south, east, and west are also zoned R-3.
The properties to the north are zoned R-1, Low Density Residential, with an
Architectural Design Review Overlay. Based on the lot size, there is a minimum
density of eight units, and a maximum density of 13 units for the site. The proposed 10 unit condominium development is consistent with the required density.
To address concerns stated by the neighbors located in the single family
residences to the rear, greater setbacks were provided along the rear property line,
between 23’-2” to 26’-0”, which exceed the minimum required of 20’-0”. Windows
were reduced in size, obscured, or eliminated, landscaping was increased, and a taller property line wall along the rear was provided to mitigate privacy concerns and minimize any negative impacts associated with the development of a multiple
family project adjacent to a single family zone. The proposal has an overall building
height of 33’-0”, which is permitted under the Development Code. There is about a
two foot grade difference between the subject site and neighboring multiple family property to the west and single family residences to the rear. The proposed building will only be one foot higher than the neighboring multiple family property and will be
similar to a two-story building at 30’-0” in height. The architectural design for the
condominiums respects the scale and character of the existing neighborhood. The
massing is consistent with newer multiple family developments in the area so a consistent streetscape along Huntington Drive will be maintained. The greater setbacks provided along the rear ensure the proposal is compatible with the single
family residences. Landscaping along the side property lines provides screening
between the neighboring multiple family developments. The proposed 10 unit
condominium project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:

Land Use and Community Design Element
• Policy LU-1.1: Promote new infill and redevelopment projects that are
consistent with the City’s land use and compatible with surrounding existing uses.
• Policy LU-1.5: Require that effective buffer areas be created between land
uses that are of significantly different character or that have operating characteristics which could create nuisances along a common boundary.
• Policy LU-4.1: Require that new multifamily residential development be
visually and functionally integrated and consistent in scale, mass, and
character with structures in the surrounding neighborhood.
Housing Element
• Policy H-2.1: Provide for a range of residential densities and products,
including low-density single-family uses, moderate-density townhomes,
higher density apartments/condominiums, and units in mixed-use developments.
• Policy H-2.3: Encourage compatible residential development in areas with
recyclable or underutilized land.
• Policy H-2.4: Maintain development standards, regulations, and design
features that are flexible to provide a variety of housing types and facilitate
housing that is appropriate for the neighborhoods in which they are located.
• Policy H-2.6: Require that the density or intensity, as well as design of new developments, be compatible with adjacent neighborhoods.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development.
Facts in Support of the Finding: As noted above, the proposed 10 unit condominium
development is consistent with the required density. The site planning of the proposed development will be similar to the existing development. There are no
easements on the property or any physical impediments that limit the development
of this site for residential condominiums. The site is physically suitable for the
density of the project and the grade differential from neighboring properties reduces
the appearance of the overall height of the project.
C. The design of the subdivision and the proposed improvements are not likely
to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably
injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Page 8 of 11
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed tentative tract map is for a minor
subdivision of an infill site located in an urban environment. The subject site is
currently improved with eight apartment units in four, multiple family buildings, two, four-car carports, and hardscaping for driveways and pedestrian walkways. There is limited landscaping located on the property and no waterways. As such, the
proposed subdivision and proposed 10 unit multiple family development will not
cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish
or wildlife or their habitat.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed subdivision is for condominium
purposes. No portion of the land will be physically subdivided. The construction of
the 10 multi-family-residential units is being done in compliance with Building and Fire Codes and all other applicable regulations. The project meets all health and safety requirements, and will not cause any public health or safety problems.
E. The design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict
with easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of,
property within the proposed subdivision (This finding shall apply only to easements of records or to easements established by judgement of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to
determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or
use of property within the proposed subdivision).
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed design of the subdivision or the type of improvements does not conflict with any easements acquired by the public at large for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision. Based
on the tentative map, there are no such easements on the subject property.
F. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community
sewer system will not result in violation of existing requirements specified by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The Arcadia Public Works Services Department
determined that the City’s existing infrastructure will adequately serve the new
development and the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board will be satisfied.
G. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The project has been designed to comply with the
California Building Code that includes regulations pertaining to energy
conservation.

H. The proposed subdivision, its design, density, and type of development and
improvements conforms to the regulations of the City’s Development Code
and the regulations of any public agency having jurisdiction by law.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The proposed subdivision complies with the density requirements of the City’s Development Code, and all the improvements required
for the site and each unit will comply with the regulations in the City’s Development
Code.
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.
Architectural Design Review
The architectural style of the development is described as Spanish – see Attachment
No. 4. The proposed development is a well thought out design. The exterior of the buildings will be finished with smooth white stucco, bronze vinyl framed windows, and red-brown multi-dimensional S-tile roofing. Thoughtfully placed gabled roof features,
Spanish style tile, decorative wrought iron, and balconies highlight the Spanish style.
Pedestrian walkways provide good connectivity among the units and to the street. The
front entrance of each residential unit is oriented towards a pedestrian walkway which is in keeping with the City’s Design Guidelines and the goals and policies of the Arcadia General Plan. Each unit will have ample private open space in the form of patios and
balconies.
With the condition that additional landscaping is planted to screen the balconies, the
massing, scale, quality of the design, and the proposed landscaping are consistent or superior to that of other developments in the area. The Spanish style architecture will complement the developments along this portion of West Huntington Drive. The
proposal is consistent with the City’s Multiple Family Residential Design Guidelines.
Protected Tree Encroachment
There are two healthy mature Deodar Cedar trees located in the City’s parkway. The new driveway, walkways, and landscaping will encroach into the protected areas of these trees. Certified Arborists Mr. Scott McAllaster and Ms. Christy Cuba, prepared a
Protected Tree Report dated November 16, 2016 – refer to Attachment No. 10 for the
Protected Tree Report. The Arborists found that, with protective measures, the
development will not have an adverse impact on the health of the protected trees. The City’s Certified Arborist, Dave Thompson, reviewed the proposal and Protected Tree Report and recommends that the driveway and driveway approach be a minimum of 10
feet away from the protected trees, and that a Certified Arborist be on site to monitor all
activity taking place within the protected zone of the trees. These recommendations
have been added as conditions of approval.

Page 10 of 11
With the recommended conditions that the driveway and driveway approach are a
minimum of 10 feet away from the protected trees, and that a certified arborist is on site
to monitor all activity taking place within the protected zone of the trees, the Public Works Services Department has no objections to the requested encroachments. The protective measures in the Arborists’ report and the City Arborist’s recommendations
are included as conditions of approval.
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 ANALYSIS
This project, as construction of an infill development project, qualifies as a Class 32 Categorical Exemption per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No.
11 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment.
FISCAL IMPACT
All the necessary infrastructure improvements will be paid for by the applicant/property owner. Fees from the project will fund the development’s fair share of impacts from the
project on City utilities and services, including sewer, transportation, electrical, parks,
and stormwater. The proposed development would have a limited impact on fire or
police services and would not have any significant impacts on local schools.
PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
A public hearing notice for this item was published in Arcadia Weekly and mailed to the
property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property on September 21, 2017.
As of September 27, 2017, no additional comments were received regarding this project
from the public hearing notice.
With regard to the Appellant’s comment about not receiving the first public hearing notice for the April 25, 2017, Planning Commission meeting, staff reviewed the mailing list and
confirmed that all the property owners of 845-853 W. Huntington Drive were listed on the
mailing information provided to the City and used to mail the public hearing notice for all
three public hearings. Staff has received one returned notice from the US Postal Service for a property located on S. Old Ranch Road.

Dear Jordan,
My family live at 838 Coronado Drive in Arcadia, have been living here for over 20 years. We find the recent prospect of building a 3-story condominium complex directly behind our house very disturbing. We are
probably most affected by this development due to our location. We feel that our quality of life will be degraded, privacy reduced, with a significant devaluation of our property.
Attached is a picture our backyard to show you what we see today. A 33 feet building behind us would be roughly where the transformer height is. Even with a 20-feet setback one can imagine what the backyard view
will look like. The visible trees from the picture will be gone, not to mention less blue sky and breeze. Backyard
BBQ's will no longer be the same for us, with loss of privacy.
The architect of this condominium complex told us that the new city code recently allows for a 3-story structure
up to 33 feet. We find this very disturbing, how our city officials will allow for this even when adjacent to single family houses like ours. None of the close by neighbors that we know were aware of this new code until being
told by the architect.
Now that we expressed our concerns of this project, we are also willing to compromise, knowing that in the end
that is what it may take to make progress,and the developer certainly has every right to build. From looking at
the project plans, looks like the ground floor will not have any living space, but space for vehicles only via garages or guest parking. We ask that the project can allow for parking at a lower level or "Tucked-in"
garage/guest parking. This can bring the height of the whole building lower. Many existing condos and
townhomes behind us on Huntington drive are that way, why not here? Especially when adjacent to single family houses
The last point we want to make is that if this project is allowed to move forward as is, my family is planning to move out and turn our house into a rental.
Thanks for the opportunity to write and express our concerns to you directly.
Sincerely,
Mark and Jennifer Chang

Hi
Jordan,
I am a resident of 844 Coronado Dr, thanks for your help and listening to our concerns. Some of us neighbors
met with the applicant on July 1st to discuss our concerns regarding the upcoming project, and yes he made few
revisions which are still intimidating. You see our backyards are literally an extension of our living rooms and
the proposed height of the project will take away privacy, sky view and also our property values. Of course he is
planning according to the city code but even we all want a peaceful share and car kind of co-existence so as we
neighbors requested I still want either the height revised or the tucked in garage so that they can address the
height issue.

Subject: Zoning Code Oversight Affecting Coronado Drive (talking points summarized in red)
July 24, 2017
Ms. Jordan Chamberlin
Associate Planner
City of Arcadia
single story homes) Huntington Drive, Arcadia
RE: Zoning Oversight Affecting Coronado Drive Residents in The Village ( R1 -
33’ high Proposed Condos Development (R3)- fronting 837 1/2 - 841 1/2 W.
Dear Ms. Chamberlin:
I am the Neighborhood Watch Captain opposed to a damaging precedent set if the proposed 33’ high R3
condos are allowed to be built-- behind three R-1 single story homes at 838, 834 and 844 Coronado Drive in
The Village. The 2015 Zoning Review Committee apparently did not foresee the problems created when they
failed to review & restrict the disparity in heights between R3 and R1. I am asking for a halt on this condo
project until this zoning oversight can be reviewed and amended as a possible exception for Coronado Drive.
It is time for the losses incurred by Coronado residents to receive urgent attention towards a zoning
correction. Consequences which our homes face as a result of the current zoning R3 height are
discussed below.
The February 2017 sale of three more parcels (855 through 875 Huntington Drive) will negatively impact
three more Coronado Drive single family homes ( located at 852, 856 and 860 ). A fourth home at 716 San
Joaquin Road will also be affected. Unless this precedent is stopped, these four one- story homeowners
will have little chance of resisting the ongoing attack on our Village by the next developer.
Furthermore, this 33’ high backyard monstrosity undermines the City Council’s Historic Preservation
Project underway. The intent is to positively define our historical identity as homeowners & promote a
stable city image. Architectural Resources Group (ARG) has identified most of the homes on our street as
belonging to the distinct Post World War II Historical District. We represent one of eleven city-wide
architectural districts. This Post World War II Era architectural identity distinguishes us as a street of classic
earlier American single- family homes. To know who you are, you must know where you came from.
Developers do not respect the values we maintain in The Village or our need for protection from this
large scale visual
intrusion.
To allow 33’ condos to be built adjacent to Coronado back yards causes instability and claustrophobia on
our street. Owners may feel forced to rush to sell their homes at a reduced value, before the condos break
ground, to avoid a further drop in sale price . Realtor’s have informed owners here that the expected loss is
substantial. The ripple effect as prices drop can then cause other Coronado Drive homes nearby to drop in
value. As a result, our street will decline and be seen as an undesirable “temporary” rather than a long-
term permanent address.
More rental homes may result with tenants cycling through as owners move elsewhere. This temporary
status affects the stability and permanence that we value on Coronado Drive.
2
More foreign buyers may want to buy at a reduced price only to tear down & replace the classic Post W.W.
II homes with little regard for architectural harmony. Or leave more empty new homes as has already
occurredon Coronado Drive (west of Golden West). Foreign buyers living here now on a permanent basis are
happy with the stability, architectural harmony and historic image of our street.
Consequences of instability caused by the 33’ intended condos project :
1. Financial damage —loss of the worth of our homes , often our major investment. The condos should not
proceed with final permit approval before accurately evaluating our losses. We look to forces at City Hall for
protection & solutions to this zoning oversight. Did Mr. Yang not realize the impact and severity of our
losses before he proceeded with his investment plans?
2. Environmental damages- air flow affected with the large building, amount of air lessened.
3 An expected rise in temperature accordingly from the size of the bulky height. Painting it white will
make the condos look even larger from our back yards.
4 Psychological damage—anxiety and a feeling of being intimidated by a developer Scott Yang who needs
to start construction as soon as possible for investor returns.
5. Views of green foliage in the distance blocked out in backyards and for neighbors across the street. Loss
of our peaceful views of tall mature trees on the horizon cannot which cannot be replaced
6. Doubts - that the powers in our City Hall may not protect the interests of stable
residents over the taxes generated by the ten condos. ($900 more taxes per $1 million property assessment)
7. A threat to our tranquil & historic quality of life in The Village on Coronado Drive by a
shortsighted zoning code .
8. Asking ourselves, " Why didn’t the Zoning Review Committee or Planning Department foresee
and alert the Planning Committee to this problem before the present crisis ?"
The Arcadia City Council has invested time and city resources in funding The Historic Preservation Project,
to reaffirm the worth of our past and our values as a city of American traditions. Here
on Coronado Drive we are traditional Americans of Iranian, Cuban, Anglo, Chinese, Mexican
American, Japanese & Yugoslavian descent who oppose the 33’ height as an out of scale visual
intrusion .
In conclusion, the 33’ condos belong at a more appropriate location where adjacent neighbors will welcome the
33’ height without further disturbing this neighborhood's stability. The Village is not an appropriate
adjacent neighborhood for this condo project. We hope the Zoning Review Committee will be asked to
meet again to correct problems caused by allowing the (R3) height of 33’ next to (R1) one-story
homes.

Dear Ms.Chamberlin,
I'm the residence of Arcadia which live in Coronado Drive. I am opposed 33' high R3 condos are
allowed to be built next to a one story home.
My wife and I are walking in this street everyday after dinner while wind is blowing in your
face, tree is green, It's very comfortable. I also turn off air condition after 7:00pm to save energy.
However, 33' high condo will block the wind which coming from Huntington drive direction.
For 24 years I loved looking at trees in the horizon. Am sad that tops of trees in distance will be
gone forever.
Please reconsider changing the current zoning code which permits a 33' building.

Hello Jordan,
I must apologize for not getting back to you sooner but the summer months are very busy.
I have reviewed the revised architectural plans and although modifications have been made there are still
concerns with the setback of the second floor at the north (or rear) of the building and the second story
balconies (north east and west).
The Arcadia General Plan- Land Use and Community Design state the following regarding High Density
Residential: "Appropriate transition to adjacent lower-density neighborhoods is required through use of yards,
other open areas, and building heights."
Although I appreciate the setback at ground level, the second story is cantilevered. I would imagine that the
guidelines for Multi-Family allow that but is this an appropriate transition to the Santa Anita Village? The
Single Family Residential Guidelines of April 2009 discourages cantilevered forms.
The aforementioned balconies are not cantilevered but I'm hoping the view from that point will not be into my
master bedroom! Perhaps the Carolina Cherry Laurels will provide some privacy.
I appreciate Pison's revisions and willingness to accommodate but those two issues remain concerns for those of
us in the Santa Anita Village.
Thank you,
Victoria Lorona

August 22, 2017 Planning Commission
Staff Report, Resolution No. 1991, and
Draft Meeting Minutes
DATE: August 22, 2017
TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission
FROM: Lisa Flores, Planning Services Manager
By: Jordan Chamberlin, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: CONTINUANCE OF RESOLUTION NO. 1991 – APPROVING TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. TTM 17-02 (74941), MULTIPLE FAMILY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN REVIEW NO. MFADR 16-10, AND
PROTECTED TREE ENCROACHMENT PERMIT NO. TRE 16-54 WITH A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) FOR A TEN UNIT RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT AT 837-841½ W. HUNTINGTON DRIVE – This item was continued from the April 25, 2017,
meeting
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 1991
SUMMARY
The Applicant, Scott Yang, is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 17-
02 (74941), Multiple Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 16-10, and
Protected Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 16-54 for a ten unit, residential
condominium development at 837-841½ W. Huntington Drive. This item was continued from the April 25, 2017, Planning Commission meeting to allow the Applicant time to revise the proposal to address privacy concerns brought up by the neighbors and the
Commission. The Applicant has revised the plans to provide greater rear yard setbacks
and other changes to mitigate the privacy concerns.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, and TRE 16-54, subject to the conditions listed in Resolution No. 1991, find that the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA, and adopt Resolution No. 1991 – refer
to Attachment No. 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 19,500 square foot lot zoned R-3, High Density Multiple Family Residential. The site is currently developed with eight apartment units.
Resolution No. 1991 – TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, & TRE 16-54 837-841½ W. Huntington Drive
April 25, 2017 – Page 2 of 6
The proposal for a ten unit residential condominium development in four, three-story, Spanish style, townhome buildings with parking at grade-level was first considered at the April 25, 2017, Planning Commission meeting – refer to Attachment No. 2 – the April
25, 2017, Staff Report. During the public hearing, three adjacent neighbors to the north
spoke in opposition of the project because of the potential loss in privacy with the
building situated approximately 14-feet from the rear property line, the number of windows that faced their property, and the building being three stories rather than two stories, even though it does not exceed the maximum height limit of 33-feet. The
Planning Commission closed the public hearing and discussed the design of the project,
as well as setback concerns, and overall privacy impacts resulting from the
development. The Planning Commissioners asked the Applicant, which was Mr. Pison Netsawang on behalf of Mr. Yang at that time, if he would be willing to continue the hearing so that they could meet with the neighbors to discuss their issues, and hopefully
come to a solution to mitigate their concerns, and he agreed. The Planning Commission
voted 4-0, with one Commissioner absent, to continue the item to a date uncertain so
that the project would be re-noticed – refer to Attachment No. 3 - April 25, 2017
Planning Commission Minutes.
REVISED PROPOSAL
The Applicant, with assistance from a neighboring property owner organized a meeting
with the neighbors on July 1, 2017; approximately 10 residents attended the meeting.
According to the Applicant, the neighbors expressed concerns regarding the number of
windows and their location on the rear elevation that faces their properties to the north, the structure will appear taller with three stories, and the height of the fence and wall at
the rear property line are not being tall enough due to the grade difference between the
neighboring properties. To address these concerns the Applicant has made the
following changes to the original design, as stated below – refer to Attachment No. 4 for
the Revised Architectural Plans showing these changes and Figure 1 of a rendering comparing the previous and current proposal.
1. Building setback – The northerly building was relocated to provide a greater rear
yard setback:
x The ground floor is now 26’-0” from the rear property line, whereas it was 16’-6”
(increase of 9’-6”);
x The second floor is now 23’-2” from the rear property line, whereas it was 14’-0”
(increase of 9’-2”);
x The third floor is now 30’-6” from the rear property line, whereas it was 14’-0”
(increase of 16’-0”).
2. Windows – To address privacy, the north facing windows were either reduced in
size, or eliminated:
x The windows on the second floor were reduced in size from 5'-0" high by 3'-0” wide to decorative windows that are 1'- 4" high by 2'-0" wide and placed 6’-6”
above the finished floor.
Resolution No. 1991 – TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, & TRE 16-54 837-841½ W. Huntington Drive
April 25, 2017 – Page 3 of 6
x The windows on the third floor, one window was eliminated, and the other two windows were reduced in size from 3’-0” wide by 5’-0” high to 3’-0” wide by 4’-6”
high. Both windows will have obscure privacy glass.
3. Parking Spaces – Two guest parking spaces were relocated from the middle of the
property to the rear of the property to provide greater separation between the
proposed development and rear property line.
4. Landscaping - A 5’-6” planter area was added along the rear property line.
Approximately 25 Catalina Laurel trees are to be planted along the rear property line
at a minimum height of 10’-0” at the time of planting.
5. Rear Perimeter Wall - The Applicant has stated that he is also willing to build an 8’-
0” high block wall along the rear (northerly) property line to further address the
neighbors’ concerns regarding privacy and security. Due to the two foot grade
difference, the height of the wall will be 6’-0” on the high side which is the
neighboring property and 8’-0” on the low side, which is the subject property. The
overall height of the new wall would exceed the maximum height requirement of 6’-
0”, but is warranted due to the grade difference.
ANALYSIS
Under the old Zoning Code, the minimum rear yard setback for a multi-family
development was 10’-0”, which the previous proposal complied with by providing a rear
yard setback of 14’-0”. However, a new regulation was added recently to the
Development Code that if the multi-family zoned property abuts a single-family zoned

property, the rear yard setback shall be 20’-0”. As a result, the Applicant revised the project to not
only comply with this new
requirement, but also provided a
greater setback to address the neighbors concern. The buildings closet to the rear have been
revised to provide a setback of
26’-0” from the rear property line,
9’-6” more than the original proposal. The second floor has been revised to provide a setback
of 23’-2”, 9’-2” more than the
original proposal and three
windows have been reduced in size with a sill height of 6’-6” above the finish floor. The
third floor has been revised to have a setback of 30’-6”, 16’-6” more than the original proposal and the number of windows on the third floor has been reduced from three to
two with privacy glass. Due to the changes in the setbacks additional wall and roof
articulation has been incorporated on the rear elevation which helps minimize the mass
and scale of the structure. Furthermore, they will plant 10’-0’ tall Catalina Laurel trees
within the 5’-6” wide planter area along the rear property line which will help further screen the structure and provide additional privacy.
Based on Figure 2, the revised proposal will be compatible with the other neighboring
properties as the bulk, mass, and overall height of the proposed development is similar
and comparable to the newer development located to the west of the subject property at
845-851 W. Huntington Drive. The site planning of the proposed development is comparable to the existing development. Greater side yard setbacks are provided with
the revised proposal and more of the rear yard area is free of structures – refer to
Figure 3 below.

Due to the 2’-0” grade difference between the subject property and the properties to the rear, the neighbors request that an 8’-0” high wall measured from lowest adjacent grade be provided along the rear property line is appropriate. It will allow the neighbors to
have a 6’-0” high wall which will provide additional privacy and security. Condition
Number 25 listed in Resolution No. 1991 has added to reflect this requirement.
Based on the direction of the Planning Commission to address setback concerns and overall privacy impacts resulting from the development, staff finds that the revised plans sufficiently address these concerns. With the incorporated changes, the proposal is
even more consistent with the City’s Multiple Family Residential Design Guidelines.
FINDINGS
The revised massing, scale, and landscaping of the proposed development are
consistent and compatible to that of other multi-family developments in the area. The project complies with the regulations that were recently revised in the Development
Code. The Spanish style architecture will complement the newer developments along
this portion of West Huntington Drive. The revised proposal is consistent with the City’s
Multiple Family Residential Design Guidelines. All applicable findings were made in the
April 25, 2017, Planning Commission Staff Report – refer to Attachment No. 2.
PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
Following the meeting the Applicant had with the neighbors back in July, Staff received
five comment letters from the neighbors – refer to Attachment No. 5 – Neighbor
Comments. The neighbors still had concerns regarding the proposed building height, loss
of privacy, loss in property values, and that the proposed buildings could affect their air circulation.
A public hearing notice for this item was published in Arcadia Weekly and mailed to the
property owners that are located within 300 feet of the subject property on August 10,
2017. As of August 16, 2017, no additional comments were received regarding this
project from the public hearing notice.

SUMMARY
The applicant, Scott Yang, is requesting approval of Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 17-02 (74941), Multiple Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 16-10, and
Protected Tree Encroachment Permit No. TRE 16-54 for a ten unit, residential
condominium development at 837-841½ W. Huntington Drive. The proposed
development and subdivision are consistent with the City’s General Plan and
Development Code. As an infill development project, the proposed development qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve TTM 17-02 (74941),
MFADR 16-10, and TRE 16-54, subject to the conditions listed in this staff report, find
that the project is Categorically Exempt under CEQA, and adopt Resolution No. 1991 –
see Attachment No. 1.
BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 19,500 square foot lot zoned R-3, High Density Multiple Family
Residential. The site is currently developed with eight units in four, one story, multiple
family buildings, and two, four car carports – see Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo
with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Vicinity.
The Certificate of Demolition for the subject property was approved on August 12, 2016
– see Attachment No. 3 for the Historical Report. Based on the evaluation by an
Architectural Historian, the property does not meet any of the requirements for
recognition as a historical resource or eligibility for listing on the California Register. The
Resolution No. 1991 – TTM 17-02 (74941), MFADR 16-10, & TRE 16-54837-841½ W. Huntington Drive

site and/or structures do not uniquely represent the post-World War II housing boom, the buildings are not the work of a master architect, nor are they of artistic value, and are not associated with any significant events or persons.
PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing structures and construct a ten unit
residential condominium development with at-grade parking - see Attachment No. 4 for the Tentative Tract Map and Attachment No. 5 for the Architectural Plans. The proposed development consists of four, three story, Spanish style, townhome buildings. Each unit
can be accessed from a pedestrian walkway along the easterly and westerly property
lines or from the at-grade garages which have direct access to each respective unit.
The units will have three bedrooms, two and a half or three full bathrooms, a two car
garage, and range in size from 2,057 square feet to 2,224 square feet. A total of 20
resident parking spaces and five guest parking spaces will be provided.
The R-3 zone has a minimum density of one dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet of lot
area, and a maximum density of one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area. This
calculates to a minimum of eight units and a maximum of 13 units for the subject
property. The proposed ten unit development is in compliance with the density
requirements.
The new residences will have an overall building height of 33’-0”, will be setback 25’-0”
from the front property line, have a minimum rear setback of 14’-0” from the adjacent
single-family residences to the rear, and side setbacks of 10’-0”. The proposed design
complies with the City’s Development Code.
The applicant is also requesting approval of a Protected Tree Encroachment Permit to allow new landscaping and hardscaping within the protected area of two Deodar Cedars
located within the City’s parkway area.

ANALYSIS
The proposal for the ten unit residential project to be 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.
Concurrent with the subdivision application, the Planning Commission is to approve, conditionally approve, or deny the architectural design of the proposed project, and the
request to encroach upon the two protected trees in the City parkway. The architectural
style of the development is described as Spanish – see Attachment No. 5. The
proposed development is a well thought-out design. The exterior of the buildings will be finished with smooth white stucco, bronze vinyl framed windows, and red-brown multi-dimensional s-tile roofing. Thoughtfully placed gabled roof features, Spanish style tile,
decorative wrought iron, and balconies highlight the Spanish style. Pedestrian walkways
provide good connectivity among the units and to the street. The front entrance of each
residential unit is oriented towards a pedestrian walkway which is in keeping with the City’s Design Guidelines and the goals and policies of the Arcadia General Plan. Each unit will have ample private open space in the form of patios and balconies.
Landscaping is provided along the side property lines to help soften the appearance of
the development from neighboring properties.
There are two healthy mature Deodar Cedar trees located in the City’s parkway. The
new driveway, walkways and landscaping will encroach into the protected areas of the trees. Certified Arborists Mr. Scott McAllaster and Ms. Christy Cuba, prepared a Protected Tree Report dated November 16, 2016 – refer to Attachment No. 6 for the
Protected Tree Report. The Arborists found that with protective measures, the
development will not have an adverse impact on the health of the protected trees. The
City’s Certified Arborist, Dave Thompson, reviewed the proposal and Protected Tree Report and recommends that the driveway and driveway approach be a minimum of 10 feet away from the protected trees and that a Certified Arborist be on site to monitor all
activity taking place within the protected zone of the trees. These recommendations
have been added as conditions of approval.

The proposed subdivision complies with the density requirements of the City’s
Development Code, and all the improvements required for the site and each unit
will comply with the regulations in the City’s Development Code.
Architectural Design Review and Protect Tree Encroachment
The massing, scale, quality of the design of the proposed development, and the proposed landscaping are consistent or superior to that of other developments in the
area. The Spanish style architecture will complement the newer developments along
this portion of West Huntington Drive. The proposal is consistent with the City’s Multiple
Family Residential Design Guidelines.

Dear Jordan,
My family live at 838 Coronado Drive in Arcadia, have been living here for over 20 years. We find the recent prospect of building a 3-story condominium complex directly behind our house very disturbing. We are
probably most affected by this development due to our location. We feel that our quality of life will be degraded, privacy reduced, with a significant devaluation of our property.
Attached is a picture our backyard to show you what we see today. A 33 feet building behind us would be roughly where the transformer height is. Even with a 20-feet setback one can imagine what the backyard view will look like. The visible trees from the picture will be gone, not to mention less blue sky and breeze. Backyard
BBQ's will no longer be the same for us, with loss of privacy.
The architect of this condominium complex told us that the new city code recently allows for a 3-story structure
up to 33 feet. We find this very disturbing, how our city officials will allow for this even when adjacent to single family houses like ours. None of the close by neighbors that we know were aware of this new code until being
told by the architect.
Now that we expressed our concerns of this project, we are also willing to compromise, knowing that in the end
that is what it may take to make progress,and the developer certainly has every right to build. From looking at
the project plans, looks like the ground floor will not have any living space, but space for vehicles only via garages or guest parking. We ask that the project can allow for parking at a lower level or "Tucked-in"
garage/guest parking. This can bring the height of the whole building lower. Many existing condos and
townhomes behind us on Huntington drive are that way, why not here? Especially when adjacent to single family houses
The last point we want to make is that if this project is allowed to move forward as is, my family is planning to move out and turn our house into a rental.
Thanks for the opportunity to write and express our concerns to you directly.
Sincerely,
Mark and Jennifer Chang

Hi
Jordan,
I am a resident of 844 Coronado Dr, thanks for your help and listening to our concerns. Some of us neighbors
met with the applicant on July 1st to discuss our concerns regarding the upcoming project, and yes he made few
revisions which are still intimidating. You see our backyards are literally an extension of our living rooms and
the proposed height of the project will take away privacy, sky view and also our property values. Of course he is
planning according to the city code but even we all want a peaceful share and car kind of co-existence so as we
neighbors requested I still want either the height revised or the tucked in garage so that they can address the
height issue.

Subject: Zoning Code Oversight Affecting Coronado Drive (talking points summarized in red)
July 24, 2017
Ms. Jordan Chamberlin
Associate Planner
City of Arcadia
single story homes) Huntington Drive, Arcadia
RE: Zoning Oversight Affecting Coronado Drive Residents in The Village ( R1 -
33’ high Proposed Condos Development (R3)- fronting 837 1/2 - 841 1/2 W.
Dear Ms. Chamberlin:
I am the Neighborhood Watch Captain opposed to a damaging precedent set if the proposed 33’ high R3
condos are allowed to be built-- behind three R-1 single story homes at 838, 834 and 844 Coronado Drive in
The Village. The 2015 Zoning Review Committee apparently did not foresee the problems created when they
failed to review & restrict the disparity in heights between R3 and R1. I am asking for a halt on this condo
project until this zoning oversight can be reviewed and amended as a possible exception for Coronado Drive.
It is time for the losses incurred by Coronado residents to receive urgent attention towards a zoning
correction. Consequences which our homes face as a result of the current zoning R3 height are
discussed below.
The February 2017 sale of three more parcels (855 through 875 Huntington Drive) will negatively impact
three more Coronado Drive single family homes ( located at 852, 856 and 860 ). A fourth home at 716 San
Joaquin Road will also be affected. Unless this precedent is stopped, these four one- story homeowners
will have little chance of resisting the ongoing attack on our Village by the next developer.
Furthermore, this 33’ high backyard monstrosity undermines the City Council’s Historic Preservation
Project underway. The intent is to positively define our historical identity as homeowners & promote a
stable city image. Architectural Resources Group (ARG) has identified most of the homes on our street as
belonging to the distinct Post World War II Historical District. We represent one of eleven city-wide
architectural districts. This Post World War II Era architectural identity distinguishes us as a street of classic
earlier American single- family homes. To know who you are, you must know where you came from.
Developers do not respect the values we maintain in The Village or our need for protection from this
large scale visual
intrusion.
To allow 33’ condos to be built adjacent to Coronado back yards causes instability and claustrophobia on
our street. Owners may feel forced to rush to sell their homes at a reduced value, before the condos break
ground, to avoid a further drop in sale price . Realtor’s have informed owners here that the expected loss is
substantial. The ripple effect as prices drop can then cause other Coronado Drive homes nearby to drop in
value. As a result, our street will decline and be seen as an undesirable “temporary” rather than a long-
term permanent address.
More rental homes may result with tenants cycling through as owners move elsewhere. This temporary
status affects the stability and permanence that we value on Coronado Drive.
2
More foreign buyers may want to buy at a reduced price only to tear down & replace the classic Post W.W.
II homes with little regard for architectural harmony. Or leave more empty new homes as has already
occurredon Coronado Drive (west of Golden West). Foreign buyers living here now on a permanent basis are
happy with the stability, architectural harmony and historic image of our street.
Consequences of instability caused by the 33’ intended condos project :
1. Financial damage —loss of the worth of our homes , often our major investment. The condos should not
proceed with final permit approval before accurately evaluating our losses. We look to forces at City Hall for
protection & solutions to this zoning oversight. Did Mr. Yang not realize the impact and severity of our
losses before he proceeded with his investment plans?
2. Environmental damages- air flow affected with the large building, amount of air lessened.
3 An expected rise in temperature accordingly from the size of the bulky height. Painting it white will
make the condos look even larger from our back yards.
4 Psychological damage—anxiety and a feeling of being intimidated by a developer Scott Yang who needs
to start construction as soon as possible for investor returns.
5. Views of green foliage in the distance blocked out in backyards and for neighbors across the street. Loss
of our peaceful views of tall mature trees on the horizon cannot which cannot be replaced
6. Doubts - that the powers in our City Hall may not protect the interests of stable
residents over the taxes generated by the ten condos. ($900 more taxes per $1 million property assessment)
7. A threat to our tranquil & historic quality of life in The Village on Coronado Drive by a
shortsighted zoning code .
8. Asking ourselves, " Why didn’t the Zoning Review Committee or Planning Department foresee
and alert the Planning Committee to this problem before the present crisis ?"
The Arcadia City Council has invested time and city resources in funding The Historic Preservation Project,
to reaffirm the worth of our past and our values as a city of American traditions. Here
on Coronado Drive we are traditional Americans of Iranian, Cuban, Anglo, Chinese, Mexican
American, Japanese & Yugoslavian descent who oppose the 33’ height as an out of scale visual
intrusion .
In conclusion, the 33’ condos belong at a more appropriate location where adjacent neighbors will welcome the
33’ height without further disturbing this neighborhood's stability. The Village is not an appropriate
adjacent neighborhood for this condo project. We hope the Zoning Review Committee will be asked to
meet again to correct problems caused by allowing the (R3) height of 33’ next to (R1) one-story
homes.
Respectfully, Caroline Blake

Dear Ms.Chamberlin,
I'm the residence of Arcadia which live in Coronado Drive. I am opposed 33' high R3 condos are
allowed to be built next to a one story home.
My wife and I are walking in this street everyday after dinner while wind is blowing in your
face, tree is green, It's very comfortable. I also turn off air condition after 7:00pm to save energy.
However, 33' high condo will block the wind which coming from Huntington drive direction.
For 24 years I loved looking at trees in the horizon. Am sad that tops of trees in distance will be
gone forever.
Please reconsider changing the current zoning code which permits a 33' building.

Hello Jordan,
I must apologize for not getting back to you sooner but the summer months are very busy.
I have reviewed the revised architectural plans and although modifications have been made there are still
concerns with the setback of the second floor at the north (or rear) of the building and the second story
balconies (north east and west).
The Arcadia General Plan- Land Use and Community Design state the following regarding High Density
Residential: "Appropriate transition to adjacent lower-density neighborhoods is required through use of yards,
other open areas, and building heights."
Although I appreciate the setback at ground level, the second story is cantilevered. I would imagine that the
guidelines for Multi-Family allow that but is this an appropriate transition to the Santa Anita Village? The
Single Family Residential Guidelines of April 2009 discourages cantilevered forms.
The aforementioned balconies are not cantilevered but I'm hoping the view from that point will not be into my
master bedroom! Perhaps the Carolina Cherry Laurels will provide some privacy.
I appreciate Pison's revisions and willingness to accommodate but those two issues remain concerns for those of
us in the Santa Anita Village.
Thank you,
Victoria Lorona

MOTION – PUBLIC HEARING
It was moved by Commissioner Lewis, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to close

Planning/Community Development Administrator Ms. Flores asked the Commission since they have concerns regarding the trees along the rear property line, if they would like to add a condition of approval stating, “The trees along the rear property line shall be
at a minimum height of 10 feet and the trees shall be of sufficient number to provide screening across the rear property line.”
Vice Chairman Chan asked Ms. Flores if it would be possible to add a condition of approval requiring that the trees be planted prior to construction to help mitigate dust
and privacy issues.
Ms. Flores explained that it would be difficult to impose such a condition because the
site has to be leveled and graded and there is a possibility that the trees might not
survive during this process.
Commissioner Thompson suggested another option is to have the applicant install a 10
foot construction fence along the property line in lieu of the required 6 foot construction fence. Ms. Flores stated that the condition of approval could be added.
MOTION
