BACKGROUND
The project site consists of two vacant parcels totaling 18,126 square feet in size, located
on the south side of E. Live Oak Avenue, between Myrtus Avenue and Tyler Avenue. The
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021

Figure 1 - Aerial of Subject Site
site is zoned MU, Mixed Use and has a General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use
with a residential density allowance of 30 units per acre and a Floor Area Ratio of 1.0 –
refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial Photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the
Subject Property. The property is surrounded by commercial uses consisting of office
uses to the north which are zoned C-G, General Commercial, a retail use to the east (new
Grocery Outlet) with office uses to the west which are both zoned MU, and single family
residences to the south, across the alley, in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles
County which is outside of Arcadia city limits (see Figure 1). The property has been vacant
since December 2000, when the property owner demolished the two structures that
previously existed on the property. Since then, the property has not been developed and
has been used as a pumpkin patch and Christmas tree lot almost every year.
PROPOSAL
The proposed mixed-use development consists of the construction of a four story building
with two stories of residential units (12 condominiums) over a second floor residential
parking lot area, and approximately 3,480 square feet of ground floor commercial uses
with an at grade covered parking lot. The applicant is proposing to consolidate two legal
lots totaling 18,126 square feet in size and subdivide the airspace for the sale of the
residential condominium units – refer to Attachment No. 3 for the Tentative Tract Map
and Attachment No. 4 for the Architectural Plans. The proposed building will be 40’-0” tall
height of 40’-0”; therefore, the development will be in compliance with the maximum
height of 40 feet. The ground floor commercial space will be divided into two units and
consist of 2,000 square feet of restaurant space (Unit A) and 1,480 square feet of retail
or eating establishment space (Unit B). Pedestrian entry to both units will be provided
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021
Page 3 of 20
Figure 2 - Project Site Plan
along E. Live Oak Avenue and vehicular access will be provided at the rear along the
alleyway (see Figure 2). The front entry of the building will provide a small public plaza
with a water fountain wall and landscape planters to define the entry and ensure
pedestrian connectivity between the street and the commercial uses.
The residential portion of the development will occupy the third and fourth floors of the
building, consisting of 12 three-bedroom units that will range in size from 1,635 square
feet to 1,820 square feet. All the units will have private open space in the form of balconies
and patios ranging in size from 103 square feet to 798 square feet, while six of the units
on the fourth floor will additionally each have access to a private roof deck ranging in size
from 677 square feet to 1,078 square feet. On the third floor, an open-air courtyard with
landscaping and seating areas will provide approximately 562 square feet of common
open space that will be accessible to all the residents.
In terms of parking, the project will provide a total of 45 covered parking spaces within a
parking garage, which exceeds what the Development Code requires. This includes 21
public parking spaces for the commercial uses and residents’ guests on the first floor and
24 private parking spaces for residents on the second floor. Vehicular access to the
parking structure will be provided by the alleyway at the rear of the building. The second
floor resident parking will be separated and secured from the on-site public parking as
required by Code, which will be discussed later in this staff report. In addition, the project
will provide four bicycle parking spaces on the first floor parking lot, which also exceeds
the Code minimum requirement.

ANALYSIS
The project site is zoned MU, which allows a mixed-use development subject to the
approval of a Minor Use Permit (MUP). An MUP is typically processed administratively by
staff, however since the proposed mixed-use development requires a Tentative Tract Map
as well, the MUP is subject to the Planning Commission’s review. The purpose of the
MUP is to ensure compatibility with the surrounding uses and to promote an active
pedestrian environment with commercial uses located along street frontages. Residential
uses are only permitted in conjunction with a commercial use and are permitted above
ground floor commercial; based on the project design, the proposed development is in
compliance. The MU zone allows a maximum building height of 40 feet and the proposed
development will be in compliance by having four stories with a top height of 40’-0”.
Additionally, a 4’-0” high parapet wall will be placed along the perimeter of the roof deck
and will be set back at least five feet from all building lines to sufficiently screen the roof
deck area, as the Code requires. The project will also comply with the development
standards of the MU zone, including but not limited to the setbacks, density, parking, and
open space.
The proposed mixed-use development requires approval of a tentative tract map to
subdivide the airspace for the residential condominium units. The project will have 12
residential units with a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.19 which complies with the maximum
density of 30 units per acre and maximum FAR of 1.0. The proposed subdivision has
been reviewed by the applicable City departments and it complies with the subdivision
regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Map Act, and will
not violate any requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Parking
The project will provide
45 total on-site parking
spaces, which exceeds
the Code required
minimum of 40 parking
spaces. For a mixed-use
development, the Code
requires 1.5 parking
spaces for every
residential unit and one
guest space for every
three (3) units, which
totals 22 parking spaces
(18 parking spaces for
the residential units and
4 guest spaces) required for the residential component of this project. Based on retail and
restaurant uses, the Code requires one parking space for every 200 square feet of
commercial floor area, which totals 18 parking spaces required for the commercial
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021
Page 5 of 20
component. The project will provide 21 parking spaces on the first floor for the commercial
uses (a surplus of 3 spaces) and 24 parking spaces on the second floor for the residential
units (a surplus of 6 spaces). The second floor parking area will only be accessible to
residents through a separate locked garage entrance at the rear of the building along the
alleyway (see Figure 3). The project is not providing separate guest spaces on the second
floor because the Code allows required guest parking for residential uses to be shared
through the required commercial parking. The applicant intends to provide two parking
spaces per residential unit, as this would be more practical for residents and boost
marketability of the condominiums.
The Code also requires bicycle parking for mixed-use developments at a rate of 0.2
spaces per residential unit and 5% of non-residential parking. Based on 12 residential
units and 21 non-residential parking spaces, three bicycle parking spaces are required;
the project will provide four bicycle parking spaces located on the ground floor of the
parking garage. This complies with the Code and exceeds the minimum requirement.
However, based on the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) analysis provided by LSA, their
Engineer determined that at least ten (10) bicycle parking spaces must be provided on-
site with End-of-the Trip bicycle spaces and lockers in order to reduce the impacts this
project may have to local and regional levels, as discussed later under the Environmental
Analysis. But to substantially reduce any potential impacts this project may have to the
VMT, a condition of approval has been placed to require additional bicycle spaces and
lockers (refer to Condition of Approval No. 1).
Architectural Design
The project is designed in a Contemporary architectural style with an array of exterior
finishes consisting of smooth stucco, lap siding, stone veneers, and decorative metal
elements (see Figure 4). Staff has worked with the Applicant’s designer on several design
iterations to achieve consistency with the City’s Design Guidelines and compatibility with
the surrounding neighborhood as well as the existing streetscape. This portion of E. Live
Oak Avenue consists of one story and two story buildings in various architectural styles.
The proposed mixed-use development was designed to create a streetscape environment
that will promote pedestrian activity and provide a complementary mix of residential and
commercial uses.
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue

Figure 4 - Conceptual Rendering of Front Elevation (E. Live Oak Avenue)
Decorative metal canopies will be installed over the windows and doorways to accent the
commercial storefronts. The first and second floors will be setback two feet from the front
property line, while the third and fourth floors will be setback eight feet from the front
property line. Additionally, the first and second floors will be setback ten feet from the rear
property line, the third floor will be setback 14’-6”, and the fourth floor will be setback 23’-
6” from the rear property line. By providing a greater setback along the upper floors, the
design provides visual relief from street level view and minimizes the overall massing of
the structure.
The upper levels of the buildings are appropriately designed to create a distinction
between the residential uses from the ground floor commercial space. Residential access
will be secured with remote controls and keys from the elevators and the residential
parking access garage door on the ground floor at the rear of the building. All residential
units will be accessed from interior walkways that connect to the elevator and stairwells.
The parking garages will be adequately concealed as it is wrapped with the commercial
storefronts and upper floor parapet walls. A balanced colors and materials palette is used
to provide neutral colors and accent finishes that complement the E. Live Oak Avenue
streetscape. On the east and west elevations, metal latticing with climbing vines on the
exterior walls will create visual interest and added texture to the facades. The proposed
overall design is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines and is compatible with the
surrounding area.
Private Open Space
The Code requires 100 square feet of minimum open space for each residential unit in
the MU zone. The proposed mixed-use development provides each residential unit with
a private balcony or patio area that ranges between 103 square feet to 798 square feet
in size. Six of the residential units are provided with both a private balcony and access to
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021
Page 7 of 20
a private roof deck above the units. The total private open space provided for the project
is 9,420 square feet and 1,799 square feet of common open space. The common open
space includes a 562 square foot open air courtyard on the third floor, which will be
accessible to all residents in the building. The courtyard will be improved with
landscaping, tables with seating, a water fountain feature, and decorative paving along
the walkways, which will all add visual interest to the outdoor space. The project provides
significantly more open space than what is required by Code, with the intent to provide
residents with usable outdoor areas for recreational activities.
Balconies and patios along the east and west elevations would face commercial buildings
that do not have any windows, so these would not pose any privacy concerns. However,
the balconies along the south elevation would face the single family homes across the
alley, in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. The third floor balconies provide
a 14’-6” rear yard setback and the fourth floor balconies provide a 23’-6” rear yard setback
in addition to the 20 foot wide alley. In order to mitigate privacy impacts, the third and
fourth floor balconies will have three foot wide landscape planters with screening shrubs
to avoid overlooking onto the neighboring properties. Additionally, the roof deck will
provide a 40’-0” rear yard setback and also have landscape planters along the side of the
parapet that faces the alley. The Code states that when a property line abuts a dedicated
alley which separates the property from a residentially zoned property, no portion of the
structure shall encroach upon a 45-degree angle, as measured at the ground level along
the centerline of the alley (see Figure 5). Since the project meets this requirement and
provides significantly greater rear yard setbacks than what is required by Code, major
privacy impacts are not anticipated from the project.

FINDINGS
Minor Use Permit
Section 9107.09.050(B) of the Development Code requires that for a Minor Use Permit to
be granted, it must be found that all of the following prerequisite conditions can be
satisfied:
1. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable
specific plan.
Facts to Support This Finding: Approval of the proposed mixed-use project
would be consistent with the General Plan Land Use Designation of Mixed Use,
which allows a residential density of 30 units per acre and a floor area ratio of 1.0.
This land use designation allows mixed-use developments and strongly
encourages a pedestrian-oriented environment with a complementary mix of
commercial and residential uses. The proposed restaurant and retail uses will help
generate increased activity along E. Live Oak Avenue. The proposed mixed-use
development will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan and is
consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies:
Land Use and Community Design Element
x 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.
x Policy LU-1.8: Encourage development types that support transit and other
alternative forms of transportation, including bicycling and walking.
x Policy LU-4.2: Encourage residential development that enhances the visual
character, quality, and uniqueness of the City’s neighborhoods and districts.
x Policy LU-4.3: Require the provision of adequate private and common open
space for residential units. Require sufficient on-site recreational facilities to
meet the daily needs of residents, if possible, commensurate with the size
of the development.
x Policy LU-6.4: Encourage design approaches that create a cohesive,
vibrant look and that minimize the appearance of expansive parking lots on
major commercial corridors for new or redeveloped uses.
x Policy LU-6.5: Where mixed use is permitted, promote commercial uses that
are complementary to adjacent residential uses.
2. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone, subject to the
granting of a Minor Use Permit, and complies with all other applicable
provisions of this Development Code and the Municipal Code.
Facts to Support This Finding: The subject site is zoned Mixed Use (MU), which
allows for mixed-use developments subject to the approval of a Minor Use Permit
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021
Page 9 of 20
(MUP). The proposed project complies with all the development standards of the
MU zone, including but not limited to setbacks, height, density, parking, and open
space.
3. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed
activity will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the
vicinity.
Facts to Support This Finding: The subject site is 18,126 square feet in size and
is located in the Mixed Use (MU) zone. The site is surrounded by commercial uses
consisting of office uses to the north which are zoned C-G, General Commercial,
a retail use to the east (Grocery Outlet) with office uses to the west which are both
zoned MU, and single family residences to the south, across the alley, in the
unincorporated area of Los Angeles County which is outside of Arcadia city limits.
The project will provide ground floor commercial uses which will be compatible with
the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. The project will also provide
residential uses that will support the commercial uses in this area. Therefore, the
development and operation of the mixed-use development will be compatible with
the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
4. The site is physically suitable in terms of:
a. Its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the
proposed use in order to accommodate the use, and all fences,
landscaping, loading, parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other
features required to adjust the use with the land and uses in the
neighborhood.
Facts to Support This Finding: The project site is 18,126 square feet in
size and can physically accommodate the proposed mixed-use
development. The residential component of the project will provide a density
of 28.8 units per acre, which is in compliance with the maximum density of
30 units per acre for this site. The commercial component of the project will
have a floor area ratio (FAR) of 0.19, which is in compliance with the
maximum allowable FAR of 1.0. Additionally, the amount of on-site parking
that will be provided for this project meets and exceeds the minimum
required by the Development Code. Therefore, the site is physically suitable
to accommodate the proposed mixed-use development.
b. Streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to
accommodate public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical)
access.
Facts to Support This Finding: The project site is located on the south
side of E. Live Oak Avenue, between Myrtus Avenue and Tyler Avenue.
122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue
March 23, 2021
Page 10 of 20
These streets are adequate in width and pavement type to carry emergency
vehicles and traffic generated by the proposed use on the site.
c. Public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection,
etc.).
Facts to Support This Finding: The Fire and Police Departments have
reviewed the application and determined that there will be no impacts to
public protection services. The need for new or altered Fire or Police
services is usually associated with substantial population growth. The
proposed mixed-use development is not anticipated to cause substantial
population growth; therefore, no impacts to public protection services are
anticipated.
d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste
collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection,
treatment, and disposal, etc.).
Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed mixed-use development will
be located on two vacant lots which will be subdivided as part of the
proposed project. As part of the development, new utility connections,
including connections for potable water and storm drainage, will be
required. Implementation of best management practices during construction
and operation would ensure impacts to water quality do not occur. The site
can be adequately served by all required utilities through interconnection
with existing utilities within City right-of-way along Live Oak Avenue and/or
the existing alley adjacent to the south of the site.
5. The measure of site suitability shall be required to ensure that the type,
density, and intensity of use being proposed will not adversely affect the
public convenience, health, interest, safety, or general welfare, constitute a
nuisance, or be materially injurious to the improvements, persons, property,
or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the property is located.
Facts to Support This Finding: The proposed mixed-use development is not
anticipated to have adverse effects on the public health or welfare, or the
surrounding neighborhood. The project will be compatible with the surrounding
commercial and residential uses in the general area. Additionally, the
environmental studies prepared for the project assessed all the potential impacts
from the project and it was determined that there would be no significant impacts
to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Therefore, the proposed use will not
adversely affect the public convenience, health, interest, safety or general welfare
of adjacent uses in the vicinity and zone of the subject property.

heating and cooling requirements.
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 as conditioned
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
The proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines and
all the applicable findings under Site Plan and Design Review can be made since the
proposed mass, scale, design are compatible with the existing developments along this
portion of E. Live Oak Avenue. The proposed Contemporary architectural style
incorporates a variety of finishes and materials including smooth stucco, lap siding, stone
veneers, and decorative metal accents, which provide visual interest along E. Live Oak
Avenue. The upper levels are stepped back from the lower levels to provide vertical relief
and reduce visual massing from the street view. The project has been designed in a
manner to maintain compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and existing
streetscape. The portion of E. Live Oak Avenue consists of one story and two story
buildings in various architectural styles. The proposed mixed-use development was
designed to create a streetscape environment that will promote pedestrian activity and
provide a complementary mix of uses on the property. A balanced colors and materials
palette is used to provide neutral colors and accent finishes that complement the E. Live
Oak Avenue streetscape. Adequate open space and landscaping will also be integrated
into the development to provide access to areas for recreational and social activities.
Therefore, the design of the proposed mixed-use development is consistent with the
City’s Design Guidelines and all the applicable findings under Site Plan and Design
Review.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
On December 28, 2018, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines were
revised to remove the level of service (LOS) methodology for transportation impact
analysis. As of July 1, 2020, all lead agencies are now required to evaluate transportation
impacts of a project based on vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Some projects are eligible to
screen out of this process, depending on the scale of the proposed development and or
the location within the City. Based on the City’s VMT Guidelines and the San Gabriel
Valley COG Vehicle Miles Traveled Evaluation Tool, the proposed mixed-use
development was not eligible to be screened out of the analysis. The project was
analyzed and mitigation measures were proposed within the VMT analysis in order to
eliminate the potential local and regional traffic impacts within the VMT guidelines,
therefore the project was determined to be exempt from CEQA as an in-fill development
project; these mitigation measures have been included as Conditions of Approval Nos. 1
and 3.
In addition to the VMT analysis, an Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions analysis
and a Noise and Vibration Impact analysis were completed. Both studies showed there
would be no significant impacts with the implementation of mitigation measures during
construction of the project. It has also been determined that the project site is less than
five (5) acres; the project site has no value as a habitat for endangered, rare or threatened
species; the proposed project will not have any significant effects upon the environment,
and the site can be adequately served by all the required utilities and public services. The
project is consistent with the General Plan designation and policies as well as with zoning
designation and regulations. Therefore, the project is exempt under Class 32 (In-Fill
Development Projects) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to
Attachment No. 5 for the Environmental Analysis and Supporting Documents.
PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS
A public hearing notice for this item was published in the Arcadia Weekly newspaper and
mailed to the property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property on March
11, 2021. As of March 19, 2021, no comments were received regarding this project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Planning Commission approve MUP No. 20-03, ADR 19-13,

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
2
SECTION 1. The factual data submitted by the Community Development
Division in the staff report dated March 23, 2021 are true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds that based upon the entire record, pursuant
to Sections 9107.09.050, 9105.03.060, & 9107.19.040 of the Development Code, all of the
following findings can be made:
Minor Use Permit
A. The proposed use is consistent with the General Plan and any applicable specific
plan.
FACT: Approval of the Project would be consistent with the General Plan Land
Use Designation of Mixed Use, which allows a residential density of 30 units per acre and
a floor area ratio of 1.0. This land use designation allows mixed-use developments and
strongly encourages a pedestrian-oriented environment with a complementary mix of
commercial and residential uses. The proposed restaurant and retail uses will help
generate increased activity along E. Live Oak Avenue. The Project will not adversely
affect the comprehensive General Plan and is consistent with the following General Plan
goals and policies:
Land Use and Community Design Element
x 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.
x Policy LU-1.8: Encourage development types that support transit and other
alternative forms of transportation, including bicycling and walking.
3
x Policy LU-4.2: Encourage residential development that enhances the visual
character, quality, and uniqueness of the City’s neighborhoods and districts.
x Policy LU-4.3: Require the provision of adequate private and common open
space for residential units. Require sufficient on-site recreational facilities to
meet the daily needs of residents, if possible, commensurate with the size
of the development.
x Policy LU-6.4: Encourage design approaches that create a cohesive,
vibrant look and that minimize the appearance of expansive parking lots on
major commercial corridors for new or redeveloped uses.
x Policy LU-6.5: Where mixed use is permitted, promote commercial uses that
are complementary to adjacent residential uses.
B. The proposed use is allowed within the applicable zone, subject to the granting
of a Minor Use Permit, and complies with all other applicable provisions of the
Development Code and the Municipal Code.
FACT: The subject site is zoned Mixed Use (MU), which allows for mixed-use
developments subject to the approval of a Minor Use Permit (MUP). The Project complies
with all the development standards of the MU zone, including but not limited to setbacks,
height, density, parking, and open space.
C. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed activity
will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
FACT: The subject site is 18,126 square feet in size and is located in the Mixed
Use (MU) zone. The site is surrounded by commercial uses consisting of office uses to
the north which are zoned C-G, General Commercial, a retail use to the east (Grocery
4
Outlet) with office uses to the west which are both zoned MU, and single family residences
to the south, across the alley, in the unincorporated area of Los Angeles County which is
outside of Arcadia city limits. The Project will provide ground floor commercial uses which
will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity. The Project will
also provide residential uses that will support the commercial uses in this area. Therefore,
the development and operation of the mixed-use development will be compatible with the
existing and future land uses in the vicinity.
D. The site is physically suitable in terms of:
a. Its design, location, shape, size, and operating characteristics of the
proposed use in order to accommodate the use, and all fences, landscaping, loading,
parking, spaces, walls, yards, and other features required to adjust the use with the land
and uses in the neighborhood;
FACT: The site is 18,126 square feet in size and can physically accommodate the
Project. The residential component of the development will provide a density of 28.8 units
per acre, which is in compliance with the maximum density of 30 units per acre for this
site. The commercial component of the development will have a floor area ratio (FAR) of
0.19, which is in compliance with the maximum allowable FAR of 1.0. Additionally, the
amount of on-site parking that will be provided meets and exceeds the minimum required
by the Development Code. Therefore, the site is physically suitable to accommodate the
proposed mixed-use development.
b. Streets and highways adequate in width and pavement type to
accommodate public and emergency vehicle (e.g., fire and medical) access;
5
FACT: The project site is located on the south side of E. Live Oak Avenue, between
Myrtus Avenue and Tyler Avenue. These streets are adequate in width and pavement type
to carry emergency vehicles and traffic generated by the Project.
c. Public protection services (e.g., fire protection, police protection, etc.);
FACT: The Fire and Police Departments have reviewed the Project and determined
that there will be no impacts to public protection services. The need for new or altered Fire
or Police services is usually associated with substantial population growth. The Project is
not anticipated to cause substantial population growth; therefore, no impacts to public
protection services are anticipated.
d. The provision of utilities (e.g., potable water, schools, solid waste
collection and disposal, storm drainage, wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal,
etc.).
FACT: The Project will be located on two vacant lots which will be subdivided as
part of the development. New utility connections, including connections for potable water
and storm drainage, will be required. Implementation of best management practices during
construction and operation would ensure impacts to water quality do not occur. The site
can be adequately served by all required utilities through interconnection with existing
utilities within City right-of-way along Live Oak Avenue and/or the existing alley adjacent
to the south of the site.
E. The measure of site suitability shall be required to ensure that the type, density,
and intensity of use being proposed will not adversely affect the public convenience,
health, interest, safety, or general welfare, constitute a nuisance, or be materially injurious
6
to the improvements, persons, property, or uses in the vicinity and zone in which the
property is located.
FACT: The Project is not anticipated to have adverse effects on the public health
or welfare, or the surrounding neighborhood. The Project will be compatible with the
surrounding commercial and residential uses in the general area. Additionally, the
environmental studies prepared for the Project assessed all the potential impacts resulting
from development of the site and it was determined that there would be no significant
impacts to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality. Therefore, the Project will not
adversely affect the public convenience, health, interest, safety or general welfare of
adjacent uses in the vicinity and zone of the subject property.
Tentative Tract Map
F. 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.
FACT: Approval of the Project is consistent with the Mixed Use Land Use
designation as it is intended to accommodate mixed-use development with a residential
density of up to 30 units per acre and a floor area ratio of 1.0. The Project will have 12
residential condominium units and 3,480 square feet of ground floor commercial space.
The Project has been reviewed for compliance with the City’s General Plan, Development
Code, and the State Subdivision Map Act. It has been determined that the proposed
subdivision is consistent with the General Plan Mixed Use Land Use designation and the
MU, Mixed Use zoning designation. The site is physically suitable for this type of
development and the architectural design of the building is compatible with the scale and
7
character of the surrounding area. The proposed tentative tract map complies with the
Subdivision Map Act regulations and there is no specific plan applicable to this project.
The Project will not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan and is consistent
with the following General Plan goals and policies:
Land Use and Community Design Element
x 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.
x Policy LU-1.8: Encourage development types that support transit and other
alternative forms of transportation, including bicycling and walking.
x Policy LU-4.2: Encourage residential development that enhances the visual
character, quality, and uniqueness of the City’s neighborhoods and districts.
x Policy LU-4.3: Require the provision of adequate private and common open space
for residential units. Require sufficient on-site recreational facilities to meet the daily
needs of residents, if possible, commensurate with the size of the development.
x Policy LU-6.4: Encourage design approaches that create a cohesive, vibrant look
and that minimize the appearance of expansive parking lots on major commercial
corridors for new or redeveloped uses.
x Policy LU-6.5: Where mixed use is permitted, promote commercial uses that are
complementary to adjacent residential uses.
G. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development.
FACT: The subject site is approximately 18,126 square feet in size and is physically
suitable for the Project. The MU zone allows a maximum residential density of 30 units per
acre and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.0 for non-residential uses. The Project proposes a
8
residential density of 28.8 units per acre and a commercial FAR of 0.19; therefore, the
Project is in compliance with the Development Code and the site is physically suitable for
the proposed development.
H. 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 proposed tentative tract map to subdivide the air space for the Project
is a minor subdivision of an infill site within an urbanized area; therefore, it will not cause
substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or
their habitat.
I. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause
serious public health or safety problems;
FACT: The proposed subdivision will subdivide the air space of the Project. The
construction of the Project will be done in compliance with Building and Fire Codes and all
other applicable regulations. The proposed density will be below the maximum allowed by
the Mixed Use (MU) zone and the City’s existing infrastructure will adequately serve the
new development. In addition, the Project meets all health and safety requirements, and
will not cause any public health or safety problems.
J. 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
9
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).
FACT: The Project does not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large
for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. There are no known
easements on the subject property.
K. 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 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.
L. The design of the subdivision provides, to the extent feasible, passive or
natural heating and cooling opportunities.
FACT: The proposed tentative tract map and mixed-use development have been
reviewed by Building Services to ensure compliance with the California Building Code,
which includes requirements associated with heating and cooling requirements.
M. 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 proposed subdivision as conditioned 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.
10
Design Review
N. The arrangement and relationship of proposed structures and signs to one
another and to other developments in the vicinity and whether the relationship is
harmonious and based on good standards of design.
FACT: The Project is consistent with the City’s Design Guidelines and all the
applicable findings under Site Plan and Design Review can be made since the proposed
mass, scale, design are compatible with the existing developments along this portion of E.
Live Oak Avenue. The proposed Contemporary architectural style incorporates a variety
of finishes and materials including smooth stucco, lap siding, stone veneers, and
decorative metal accents, which provide visual interest along E. Live Oak Avenue. The
upper levels are stepped back from the lower levels to provide vertical relief and reduce
visual massing from the street view. The Project has been designed in a manner to
maintain compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood and existing streetscape.
SECTION 3. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”), this Project is a Class 32 Categorical Exemption as an infill-development project
per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines.
SECTION 4. For the foregoing reasons the Planning Commission determines
that the Project is Categorically Exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”) Section 15332, Class 32, and approves Minor Use Permit No. MUP 20-03,
Architectural Design Review No. ADR 19-13, and Tentative Tract Map No. TTM 20-03

Preliminary Exemption Assessment Form A
Project Title: Maple Villa Project at 122–128 East Live Oak Avenue in Arcadia, California
(Minor Use Permit No. MUP 20-03, Architectural Design Review No. ADR 19-13, Tentative Tract Map No. 20-03
(83042)
Project Applicant: North America Dongheng Holding, Inc./Thomas Li
Project Location (Specific): 122-128 East Live Oak Avenue, Arcadia, Los Angeles County, CA. APNs 8573-024-005, -006.
Project Location (City): City of Arcadia Project Location (County): Los Angeles County
Project Description: The project is a new mixed-use development with 12 residential units and 3,480 square feet of ground floor
commercial uses located at 122-128 E. Live Oak Avenue.
Name of Public Agency Approving Project: City of Arcadia
Name of Person or Agency Carrying Out Project: North America Dongheng Holding, Inc./Thomas Li
Exempt Status: (check one)
Ministerial (Sec. 21080(b)(1); 158268);
Declared Emergency (Sec. 21080(b)(3); 15269 (a));
Emergency Project (Sec. 21080(b)(4); 15269(b)(c));
Categorical Exemption State type and section number: Class 32 (In-Fill), Section 15332
Statutory Exemptions State Code number:
Reasons why project is exempt: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (Class 32: In-Fill Development Projects), the project is
consistent with the General Plan Land Use and Zoning (Mixed-Use) and is within City limits on less than 5 acres completely surrounded
by urban uses. The site has no habitat value for endangered, rare, or threatened species (as defined under CEQA Sec. 15380) due to
previous development and demolition and surrounding urban uses for at least 3,650 feet. The site would not result in significant effects
regarding traffic (Attachment A), noise (Attachment B), air quality (Attachment C), or water quality (compliance with the City's Low
Impact Development/MS4 permit is required as co-permittee of the County's NPDES Permit per regulatory policy. Implementation of
best management practices during construction and operation would ensure impacts to water quality do not occur). The site can be
adequately served by all required utilities through interconnection with existing utilities within City right-of-way along Live Oak Ave.
and/or the existing alley adjacent to the south of the site. Since the project is consistent with the General Plan land use designation, it
has been anticipated in the City’s growth projections and therefore would be adequately served by all applicable public services.
Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2, the project does not trigger any exceptions to the Class 32 (Sec. 15332). The Project
is consistent with the Class 32 Categorical Exemption (Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines) and therefore is not subject to the
Location Exception (Section 15300.2(a)). As detailed in Attachments A through C, the project would not result in any project-specific or
cumulatively considerable impact to transportation, noise, or air quality. Additionally, sufficient utilities and public facilities are available
to serve the project in addition to existing entitlements and capacity. Therefore, the project is not subject to the Cumulative Impact
Exception (Section 15300.2(b)). The project is consistent with the type and intensity of development anticipated by the City in this area
and therefore would not have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances and is not subject to the Significant
Effect Exception (Section 15300.2(c)). The project would not affect scenic resources within a State scenic highway (because none are
in proximity) and is not subject to the Scenic Highways Exception (Section 15300.2(d)). The Project site is not on any list of hazardous
material sites compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and therefore is not subject to the Hazardous Waste Sites
Exception (Section 15300.2(e)). The project site was previously developed with commercial uses by 1952, all on-site structures were
demolished by 2003, and the site has been vacant since then. Based on the degree of previous development and ground disturbance
on the site, the potential for historical resources, pursuant to CEQA Section 15064.5, to occur on the site is negligible.

APPROACHTOANALYSIS
Toevaluateairpollutantemissionsfromtheconstructionandoperationoftheproposedproject,
LSAconductedaCaliforniaEmissionsEstimatorModel,Version2016.3.2(CalEEMod)analysis,which
isthecurrentairqualityandlanduseemissionsmodelrecommendedbytheCaliforniaAir
ResourcesBoard(CARB)forevaluatingemissionsfromlanduseprojects.Constructionemissions
werebasedontheCalEEModdefaultfortheconstructionphasescenariobeginningJuly1st,2021
andanticipatedopeningdateinDecember2021.Emissionsfromoperationoftheproposedproject
includevehicleemissions,areasourceemissions,andenergyuseemissions.Theconstructionand
operationalemissionswerethencomparedwithCEQAairqualitysignificancethresholdsfromthe
SouthCoastAirQualityManagementDistrict(SCAQMD).

The RA14 is our 14 SEER air conditioner and is part of the
Rheem air conditioner product line that extends from 13 to 20
SEER. This highly featured and reliable air conditioner is
designed for years of reliable, efficient operation when matched
with Rheem indoor aluminum evaporator coils and furnaces or
air handler units with aluminum evaporators.
Our unique composite base ( ) reduces sound emission, elimi-
nates rattles, significantly reduces fasteners, eliminates corro-
sion and has integrated brass compressor attachment inserts
(). Furthermore it has incorporated into the design, water
management features, means for hand placement () for unit
maneuvering, screw trays () and inserts for lifting off unit
pad. ()
Service Valves ( ) are rigidly mounted in the composite base
with 3" between suction and discharge valves, 4" clearance
below service valves and a minimum of 5" above the service
valves, creating industry leading installation ease. The minimum
27 square-inches around the service valves allows ample room
to remove service valve schrader prior to brazing, plenty of clear-
ance for easy brazing of the suction and discharge lines to ser-
vice valve outlets, easy access and hookup of low loss refriger-
ant gauges ( ), and access to the service valve caps for
opening. For applications with long-line lengths up to 250 feet
total equivalent length, up to 200 feet condenser above evapora-
tor, or up to 80 feet evaporator above condenser, the long-line
instructions in the installation manual should be followed.
Controls are accessed from the corner of the unit by removing
only two fasteners from the control access cover, revealing the
industry’s largest 15" wide and 14" tall control area (). With all
this room in the control area the high voltage electrical whip ( )
can easily be inserted through the right size opening in the bot-
tom of the control area. Routing it leads directly to contractor
lugs for connection. The low voltage control wires () are easily
connected to units low voltage wiring. If contactor or capacitor
( ) needs to be replaced there is more than adequate space to
make the repair. Furthermore, if high pressure and low pressure
model was not purchased but is desired to be installed in the
field, the service window ( ) can be removed by removing two
screws, to access the high and low side schrader fittings for easy
field installation. The entire corner can be removed providing
ultimate access to install the high and low pressure switch. ()
If in the rare event, greater access is needed to internal compo-
nents, such as the compressor, the entire corner of the unit can
be removed along with the top cover assembly to have unprece-
dented access to interior of the unit (). Extra wire length is
incorporated into each outdoor fan and compressor so top
cover and control panel can be positioned next to the unit. With
minimal effort the plug can be removed from the compressor
and the outdoor fan wires can be removed from the capacitor to
allow even more uncluttered access to the interior of the unit ().
Outdoor coil heights range from as short as 22" to 32", aiding
access to the compressor. Disassembly to this degree and com-
plete reassembly only takes a first time service technician less
than 10 minutes. ( )
All units utilize strong formed louver panels which provide indus-
try leading coil protection. Louver removal for coil cleaning is
accomplished by removing one screw and lifting the panel out of
the composite base pan. () All RA14 units utilize single row
coils ( ) making cleaning easy and complete, restoring the
performance of the air conditioner back to out of the box perfor-
mance levels year after year.
The outdoor fan motor has sleeve bearings and is inherently
protected. The motor is totally enclosed for maximum protection
from weather, dust and corrosion. Access to the outdoor fan is
made by removing four fasteners from the fan grille. The outdoor
fan can be removed from the fan grille by removing 4 fasteners
in the rare case outdoor fan motor fails.
Each cabinet has optimized composite ( ) fan orifice assuring
efficient and quiet airflow.

The entire cabinet has powder post paint ( ) achieving 1000
hour salt spray rating, allowing the cabinet to retain its aesthetics
throughout its life.
Scroll compressors with standard internal pressure relief and
internal thermal overload are used on all capacities assuring
longevity of high efficient and quiet operation for the life of the
product.
Each unit is shipped with filter drier for field installation and will
trap any moisture or dirt that could contaminate the refrigerant
system.
All cabinets have industry leading structural strength due to the
composite base pan (), interlocking corner post ( ), formed
curved louver panels ( ) and drawn top cover ( ) making it
the most durable cabinet on the market today.
Each RA14 capacity has undergone rigorous psychometric test-
ing to assure performance ratings of capacity, SEER and EER
per AHRI Standard 210/240 rating conditions. Also
each unit bears the UL mark and each unit is certified
to UL 1995 safety standards.
Each unit has undergone specific strain and modal testing to
assure tubing () is outside the units natural frequency and that
the suction and discharge lines connected to the compressor
withstand any starting, steady state operation or shut down
forces imposed by the compressor.
All units have been sound tested in sound chamber to AHRI 270
rating conditions, and A-weighted Sound Power Level tables
produced, assuring units have acceptable noise qualities (see
page 9). Each unit has been ran in cooling operation at 95°F and
82°F and sound ratings for the RA14 range from as low as 74
dBA to 77 dBA.
All units have been ship tested to assure units meet stringent
“over the road” shipping conditions.
As manufactured all units in the RA14 family have cooling capa-
bility to 55 °F. Addition of low ambient control will allow the unit
to operate down to 0°F. Factory testing is performed on each
unit. All component parts meet well defined specification and
continually go through receiving inspections. Each component
installed on a unit is scanned, assuring correct component uti-
lization for a given unit capacity and voltage. All condenser coils
are leak tested with pressurization test to 550#’s and once
installed and assembled, each units’ complete refrigerant
system is helium leak tested. All units are fully charged from the
factory for up to 15 feet of piping. All units are factory run tested.
The RA14 has a 10-year conditional compressor and parts war-
ranty (registration required).

The RA14 is our 14 SEER air conditioner and is part of the
Rheem air conditioner product line that extends from 13 to 20
SEER. This highly featured and reliable air conditioner is
designed for years of reliable, efficient operation when matched
with Rheem indoor aluminum evaporator coils and furnaces or
air handler units with aluminum evaporators.
Our unique composite base ( ) reduces sound emission, elimi-
nates rattles, significantly reduces fasteners, eliminates corro-
sion and has integrated brass compressor attachment inserts
(). Furthermore it has incorporated into the design, water
management features, means for hand placement () for unit
maneuvering, screw trays () and inserts for lifting off unit
pad. ()
Service Valves ( ) are rigidly mounted in the composite base
with 3" between suction and discharge valves, 4" clearance
below service valves and a minimum of 5" above the service
valves, creating industry leading installation ease. The minimum
27 square-inches around the service valves allows ample room
to remove service valve schrader prior to brazing, plenty of clear-
ance for easy brazing of the suction and discharge lines to ser-
vice valve outlets, easy access and hookup of low loss refriger-
ant gauges ( ), and access to the service valve caps for
opening. For applications with long-line lengths up to 250 feet
total equivalent length, up to 200 feet condenser above evapora-
tor, or up to 80 feet evaporator above condenser, the long-line
instructions in the installation manual should be followed.
Controls are accessed from the corner of the unit by removing
only two fasteners from the control access cover, revealing the
industry’s largest 15" wide and 14" tall control area (). With all
this room in the control area the high voltage electrical whip ( )
can easily be inserted through the right size opening in the bot-
tom of the control area. Routing it leads directly to contractor
lugs for connection. The low voltage control wires () are easily
connected to units low voltage wiring. If contactor or capacitor
( ) needs to be replaced there is more than adequate space to
make the repair. Furthermore, if high pressure and low pressure
model was not purchased but is desired to be installed in the
field, the service window ( ) can be removed by removing two
screws, to access the high and low side schrader fittings for easy
field installation. The entire corner can be removed providing
ultimate access to install the high and low pressure switch. ()
If in the rare event, greater access is needed to internal compo-
nents, such as the compressor, the entire corner of the unit can
be removed along with the top cover assembly to have unprece-
dented access to interior of the unit (). Extra wire length is
incorporated into each outdoor fan and compressor so top
cover and control panel can be positioned next to the unit. With
minimal effort the plug can be removed from the compressor
and the outdoor fan wires can be removed from the capacitor to
allow even more uncluttered access to the interior of the unit ().
Outdoor coil heights range from as short as 22" to 32", aiding
access to the compressor. Disassembly to this degree and com-
plete reassembly only takes a first time service technician less
than 10 minutes. ( )
All units utilize strong formed louver panels which provide indus-
try leading coil protection. Louver removal for coil cleaning is
accomplished by removing one screw and lifting the panel out of
the composite base pan. () All RA14 units utilize single row
coils ( ) making cleaning easy and complete, restoring the
performance of the air conditioner back to out of the box perfor-
mance levels year after year.
The outdoor fan motor has sleeve bearings and is inherently
protected. The motor is totally enclosed for maximum protection
from weather, dust and corrosion. Access to the outdoor fan is
made by removing four fasteners from the fan grille. The outdoor
fan can be removed from the fan grille by removing 4 fasteners
in the rare case outdoor fan motor fails.
Each cabinet has optimized composite ( ) fan orifice assuring
efficient and quiet airflow.
