PROPOSAL
The applicant is proposing to convert the existing ten-unit residential apartment building
into residential condominiums which would allow for the individual sale of each of the
units – see Attachment 3 for Tentative Tract Map No. 75011 and Architectural Plans.
There is no construction or demolition proposed with this project.
ANALYSIS
The ten unit apartment complex was constructed in 1986. There are two buildings that
are 30’-0” in height. Each building has five units and provides a 25’-0” front yard setback
and 10’-0” side and rear yard setback. A total of 20 garage parking spaces for residents
are provided in a semi-subterranean parking garage, and five guest parking spaces are
available at-grade along the rear property line, adjacent to the alley. Each unit has a
minimum of 100 square feet or private open space in the form of patios or balconies.
The existing development is consistent with the current development s tandards for the
R-3 zone. The Building Official reviewed the original set of construction drawing s and
confirmed that the apartment complex complies with current Multiple Family
Construction Standards.
Since the property was developed, no significant improvements have been made aside
from routine maintenance. In October and November of 2017, the Building Official, Fire
Marshal, and Planning staff conducted field inspections of the su bject property and
associated buildings to evaluate the condition of the property and structures, identify
any needed repairs and upgrades in order to bring the property into compliance with the
Building Code and Development Code, and ensure sufficient fir e protection systems are
provided.
The Fire Marshal did not identify any fire safety concerns with the proposed
development and did not have any conditions of approval for the condominium
conversion. The Building Official and Planning Staff identified the following items that
need to be corrected in order to bring the property into compliance with the current
Building Code, Development Code, and ensure the overall design and physical
condition of the condominium conversion will a high degree of appearance, quality, and
safety:
Install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in compliance with the
2016 California Building Code;
Replace cover at the common house electrical panel;
Verify that the sump pump and alarms are operational;
Verify all common area lighting is operational;
Repair yard drainage piping;
Resurface and restripe guest parking area;
Upgrade the existing trash enclosure;

Replace the exterior awnings;
Repair and/or replace the existing landscaping as needed;

Resurface and restripe the guest parking spaces and replace the curbs; and
Construct a solid wall to screen the existing utilities from the public right of way.
These revisions have been included as conditions of approval and must be completed
prior to approval of the Final Map. With these conditions the proposed residential
condominium conversion will comply with current Building Code and Development
Code.
The development will be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Multiple-Family
Residential Design Guidelines, Development 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, Planning & Community Development Administrator, Fire
Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees.
FINDINGS
Residential Condominium Conversions
The proposal to convert a ten unit apartment complex into ten residential condominium
units requires that they be subdivided through a Tract Map process. The proposed
subdivision complies with the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code and
the State Subdivision Map Act. The following findings are required for approval of a
Residential Condominium Conversion:
A. All provisions of this Section and all applicable provisions of this
Development Code are met.
The existing buildings comply with the current Multiple-Family (R-3) zoning
regulations. The two buildings are 30’-0” in height, has an existing 25’-0” front yard
setback, and 10’-0” side and rear yard setbacks. A total of 20 garage parking spaces
for residents are provided in a semi-subterranean parking garage, and five guest
parking spaces are available at-grade along the rear property line, adjacent to the
alley. Each unit has a minimum of 100 square feet or private open space in the form
of patios or balconies. This is consistent with the current Development Standards for
the R-3 zone. With the condition of approval that the existing trash enclosure be
upgraded, the proposal is consistent with the current Development Code.
Resolution No. 2007 – TTM 17-04 (75011)
145-149 Fano Street
December 12, 2017 – Page 4 of 9
B. The proposed conversion is consistent with the General Plan and any
applicable specific plan.
Approval to convert a ten-unit apartment complex to residential condominiums is
consistent with the High Density Residential Land Use Designation of the site. The
High Density Residential designation is intended to accommodate higher-density
attached housing types for both renter and owner households within a neighborhood
context. As a condition of approval of the condominium conversion, the
applicant/property owner will be required to make improvements to the property,
such as redoing landscaping, upgrading the existing trash enclosure, repainting the
buildings, and installing new fences. These conditions will improve the appearance
and help extend the life of the buildings. The proposal will not adversely aff ect the
comprehensive General Plan and is consistent with the following General Plan goals
and policies:
Land Use and Community Design Element
Policy LU-4.6: Encourage multifamily projects built with quality materials that
will physically endure and provide a positive long-term living environment for
residents.
Housing Element
Goal H-1: Conserve and improve the condition of the existing housing stock.
C. The proposed conversion will conform to all Municipal Code provisions in
effect at the time of the tentative map approval, except as otherwise provided
in Section 9105.23.
The proposed subdivision complies with the density requirements, setbacks, building
height, required parking, and all other applicable sections of the City’s Development
Code except as otherwise provided in Section 9105.23. The Building Official
reviewed the original set of construction drawings and confirmed that the apartment
complex complies with current Multiple Family Construction Standards. The
improvements required for the site and each unit will comply with the regulations in
the City’s Municipal Code.
D. The overall design and physical condition of the condominium conversion will
a high degree of appearance, quality, and safety and is appropriately
conditioned to ensure this achievement.
The Building Official, Fire Marshal, and Planning staff conducted inspections of the
subject site in October and November 2017. The Fire Marshal did not identify any
fire safety concerns with the proposed development and did not have any conditions
of approval for the condominium conversion. The Building Official identified
corrections to the electrical, sump pump system, and fire safety that need to be
corrected prior to the Final Map being recorded. The Building Officials corrections
Resolution No. 2007 – TTM 17-04 (75011)
145-149 Fano Street
December 12, 2017 – Page 5 of 9
have been included as conditions of approval. Due to lack of significant property
maintenance for almost 31 years, the Planning staff incorporated conditions of
approval that need to be completed prior to the Final Map being recorded to ensure
that the property displays a high quality appearance consistent with newer multiple
family developments. The conditions of approval include repainting the buildings,
replacing the exterior awnings, replacing the existing landscaping as necessary, and
replacing the existing wood fencing and gates. These revisions will be subject to
review and approval by the Planning & Community Development Administrator or
designee. The proposal is appropriately conditioned to ensure that the overall design
and physical condition of the condominium conversion is a high degree of
appearance quality, and safety.
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.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
