SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2035 - APPROVING A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP
NO. TPM 18-08 (71642) AND A PLANNING COMMISSION
ADMINISTRATIVE MODIFICATION NO. PC AM 19-01 WITH A
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (“CEQA”) TO SUBDIVIDE A PARCEL
INTO TWO (2) SEPARATE LOTS WITH SUBSTANDARD LOT WIDTHS
AT 225 E. LONGDEN AVENUE
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. 2035
SUMMARY
The Applicant, Twen Ma, on behalf of the property owners, Bin Hu and Junli Xiong,
submitted Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18 -08 (71642) and Planning Commission
Administrative Modification No. PC AM 19-01 for the request to subdivide a single-
family zoned parcel into two separate legal lots with substandard lot widths at 225 E.
Longden Avenue. The subdivision was previously approved by the Planning
Commission on July 26, 2011; however, the Applicant did not submit the final parcel
map to the City within four years (this includes a two year automatic extension) and the
map officially expired on August 5, 2015. The Applicant is requesting approval of the
same parcel map.
Although the two new parcels will have substandard lot widths, the subdivision is still
consistent with the City’s General Plan, the Development Code, and the Subdivision
Map Act. The project qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the California
Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15315 and 15332 for an infill
development that would be permitted under this subdivision in an urbanized area. It is
recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2035 (refer to
Attachment No. 1) approving Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-08 (71642) and
Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 19 -01, subject the
conditions listed in the staff report.

BACKGROUND
The subject parcel is a 25,236 square
foot, interior lot, that is zoned Single-
Family Low Density Residential, (R-
1-7,500) and the General Plan land
use designation is Low Density
Residential - refer to Attachment No.
2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning
Information and Photos of the
Subject Property and Vicinity. The
existing parcel is located along E.
Longden Avenue between S. 2nd
Avenue and S. 3rd Avenue and
completely surrounded by single-
family residential zoned properties.
In 2011, a tentative parcel map was approved for this property by the Planning
Commission - refer to Attachment No. 3 for the Planning Commission Staff Report,
dated July 26, 2011. The Applicant is now proposing the same map to subdivide the
parcel into two lots with substandard lot widths at 68.21 feet, whereas 75 feet is
required for this zoning area.
The Los Angeles County, Department of Public Works did approve the tentative parcel
on August 23, 2017 – refer to Attachment No. 4. However, the Applicant did not file the
final parcel map within the approval period of four years, which was based-off of an
initial two-year approval period and a two-year automatic approval extension per
California Assembly Bill 118, therefore the map officially expired on August 5, 2015.
Due to financial reasons, the Applicant was not able to move forward with the
subdivision.
The property is currently vacant. In 2014, it came to the City’s attention that the existing
building was partially demolished. Both the City’s Code Services and Building Services
Divisions required the complete removal of the building for structural and safety
reasons. Since then, the site has remained vacant.
PROPOSAL
The request is the same request that was approved by the City in 2011, which is to
subdivide the 25,236 square foot parcel into two separate legal lots with substandard lot
widths – refer to Attachment No. 5 the Expired Tentative Parcel Map. The two newly
created lots will have the same lot dimensions and the same total lot area, each at
12,618 square feet. The table below shows the proposed subdivisions. W ith the
exception of the substandard lot widths, the proposed lots will exceed the minimum
requirements in terms of lot depth and lot size.

2 68.21 feet 185 feet 12,618 Sq. ft.
Code Minimums: 75 feet 100 feet 7,500 Sq. ft.
ANALYSIS
The Development Code requires a minimum lot width of 75 feet for all new lots within
the Single-Family Low Density Residential zone, R-1-7,500. The existing parcel has a
lot width of 136.42 feet. The lot widths along E. Longden Ave within a 500 foot distance
from the subject site vary in size, but none of the other lots are close to or exceed the lot
width of the subject parcel – refer to the figure below. Because the subject parcel is
located on a short block, the adjacent blocks were included along E. Longden Avenue
since they are all part of the overall context of the neighborhood. Although the lots are
proposed with substandard lot widths of 68.21 feet instead at 75 feet, approximately 7
feet less than the minimum requirement, there are seven other lots on this street and
within close proximity along E. Longden Avenue that have substandard widths of less
than 75 feet (refer to the “green” dots in the figure below). Therefore, the proposed
subdivision with substandard widths is consistent with the existing lot dimensions that
exist within this tract.

The proposed subdivision will comply with the density for this site, which allows up to six
(6) dwelling units per acre. The proposed subdivision with the modification to reduce the
lot widths will be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the Development Code.
Although the tentative parcel map was previously approved in 2011, the project was
reviewed as if it was a new project by all the various City Departments to ensure
compliance with current regulations and standards. None of the departments had any
concerns with the proposed subdivision.
FINDINGS
Tentative Parcel Map
The request to subdivide an existing parcel into two separate legal lots requires that
they be subdivided through the Tentative Parcel Map process – see Attachment No. 6
for the Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18 -08 (71642). The proposed subdivision
complies with the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code, the
Development Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will not violate any
requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. The following
findings are required for approval of a Tentative Parcel 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 proposed subdivision to subdivide one
parcel into two lots will be in compliance with the Low Density Single-Family
Residential of the General Plan designation and the Single-Family Low Density
Residential zoning of the subject site. In particular, the subdivision will comply
with Land Use 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. The two lots will remain as single-family residential zoned lots. The
proposed subdivision with the reduced lot widths will be consistent with the
Subdivision Map Act and the City’s Development Code.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The site is suitable to create two new lots and
they will be consistent in terms of its lot dimensions and area with the other lots
along E. Longden Avenue and within this existing tract development. Having two
lots rather than one larger parcel is more appropriate for future development
within this single-family residential area. The proposed subdivision will comply
with the density for this site, which allows up to six (6) dwelling units per acre.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision with the substandard lot widths meets the
intent of this finding.

225 E. Longden Avenue
September 10, 2019 – Page 5 of 11
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.
Facts in Support of the Finding: The subject site was developed with a single-
family home within an established residential neighborhood, and within an
urbanized area. Therefore, the proposed subdivision would not cause any
substantial environmental damage to any fish or wildlife 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: Approval of the tentative parcel map is not
likely to cause serious public health or safety problems. The subdivision
proposes to subdivide a parcel into two lots. The tentative parcel map has been
reviewed by various City Departments including Public Works Service
Department and Fire Department to ensure compliance with applicable
regulations; therefore no impacts are anticipated.
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 record 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: There are no easements that are required
from the subdivision that requires the public at large to access through.
Therefore, the proposed subdivision and any future development of the sites will
not conflict with any such easements.
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 proposed subdivision will result in the
creation of two single-family residential zoned lots within an established single-
family neighborhood. The site is already served by the City’s existing
infrastructure. Therefore, no upgrades or new infrastructure is required and the
subdivision will not result in a violation of the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board’s requirements.

September 10, 2019 – Page 6 of 11
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 proposed subdivision will allow for the
opportunity for any future development on these two lots to incorporate passive
or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
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 with the exception
of the modification to reduce the lot widths is consistent with the City’s
Subdivision Division of the Arcadia Development Code, General Plan, and
Subdivision Map Act.
Administrative Modification
Development Code Section 9105.09.030 allows a modification to lot area, depth, and
width requirements for new parcels. Pursuant to Section 9107.05.050(B) of the
Development Code, it is required that the Planning Commission makes at least one of
the following findings in order to approve the subject modification request:
1. Promote uniformity of development;
2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship; or
3. Secure an appropriate improvement of a parcel
The proposed subdivision of one parcel into two lots with substandard lot widths will
promote uniformity of development and allow for an appropriate improvement of the two
new lots. Given that there are seven other lots along E. Longden Avenue that have
substandard lot widths that range from approximately 62 feet to 66, the proposed lot
widths from 75 feet to 68.21 will continue to promote uniformity with the other lots within
the same tract development. Furthermore, the existing land-use pattern within this tract
development currently have lots with substandard lot widths. Therefore, reducing the lot
width and subdividing the large parcel into two lots will make fu ture development more
compatible with the other homes on the street.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
It has been determined that the proposed project is Categorically Exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines as the subdivision would allow
for the development of two single-family homes and four or less parcels will be created
under this subdivision per Section 15315. It is also exempt pursuant Section 15332,
since the approval would allow for the infill development of two single -family homes

SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Community Development
Division in the staff report dated September 10, 2019, are true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds, based upon the entire record:
A. The proposed map, subdivision design, and improvements are consistent with
the General Plan, any applicable specific plan, and the Subdivisions D ivision of the
Development Code.
FACT: The Project will be in compliance with the Low Density Single -Family
Residential of the General Plan designation and the Single-Family Low Density
Residential zoning of the subject site. In particular, the subdivision will comply with Land
Use 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. The two lots will
remain as single-family residential zoned lots. The proposed subdivision with the
reduced lot widths will be consistent with the Subdivision Map Act and the City’s
Development Code.
B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of
development.
FACT: The site is suitable to create two new lots and they will be consistent in
terms of its lot dimensions and area with the other lots along E. Longden Avenue and
3 2035
within this existing tract development. Having two lots rather than one larger parcel is
more appropriate for future development within this single-family residential area. The
Project will comply with the density for this site, which allows up to six (6) dwelling units
per acre. Therefore, the Project meets the intent of this finding.
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.
FACT: The subject site was developed with a single-family home within an
established residential neighborhood, and within an urbanized area. Therefore, the
Project would not cause any substantial environmental damage to any fish or wildlife
habitat.
D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health or safety problems.
FACT: Approval of the Project is not likely to cause serious public health or
safety problems. The Project proposes to subdivide a parcel into two lots. The Project
has been reviewed by various City Departments including Public Works Service
Department and Fire Department to ensure compliance with applicable regulations;
therefore no impacts are anticipated.
E. The design of the subdivision or the type of improveme nts 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 record or to
easements established by judgement of a court of compete nt jurisdiction and no
authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has
4 2035
acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed
subdivision).
FACT: There are no easements that are required fro m the subdivision that
requires the public at large to access through. Therefore, the Project and any future
development of the sites will not conflict with any such easements.
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.
FACT: The Project will result in the creation of two single-family residential zoned
lots within an established single-family neighborhood. The site is already served by the
City’s existing infrastructure. Therefore, no upgrades or new infrastructure is required
and the Project will not result in a violation of the California Regional Water Quality
Control Board’s requirements.
G. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, passive or
natural heating and cooling opportunities.
FACT: The Project will allow for the opportunity for any future development on
these two lots to incorporate passive or natural heating and cooling opportunities.
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.
FACT: The Project is consistent with the City’s Subdivision Division of the
Arcadia Development Code, General Plan, and Subdivision Map Act.

the Development Code, at least one of the following findings must be met in order to
approve the subject modification request: secure an appropriate improvement of a lot,
prevent an unreasonable hardship, or promote uniformity of development.
FACT: The Project will promote uniformity of development and allow for an
appropriate improvement of the two new lots. Given that there are seven other lots
along E. Longden Avenue that have substandard lot widths that range from
approximately 62 feet to 66, the proposed lot widths from 75 feet to 68.21 will continue
to promote uniformity with the other lots within the same tract development.
Furthermore, the existing land-use pattern within this tract development currently have
lots with substandard lot widths. Therefore, reducing the lot width and subdividing the
large parcel into two lots will make future development more compatible with the other
homes on the street.
SECTION 3. This Project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) per Section 15315 and Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines an infill
development that would be permitted under this subdivision in an urbanized area . The

that the Project is Exempt per Section 15315 and 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines and
approves Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 18-08 (71642) and Planning Commission
Administrative Modification No. PC AM 19-01 for the request to subdivide a single-
6 2035
family zoned parcel into two (2) lots with substandard lot widths at 225 E. Longden
Avenue, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto .
