SUMMARY
I
.
General Plan Amendment Application No. GP 00-002 was submitted to adjust the
Land Use Designation boundary between the Commercial designation of
201-221 E, Duarte Road and the Multiple Family Residential (12 DUlAC Max.)
designation of 810 S. Second Avenue to align with the existing northerly lot line of
201 E, Duarte Road for a proposed 5-unit residential condominium development at
810 S, Second Avenue, The Development Services Department is recommending
approval of this General Plan Amendment.
GENERAL INFORMATION
APPLICANT: Mr, Hank Jong of EGL Associates, Inc,
LOCATION: 201-~21 E, Duarte Road & 810 S. Second Avenue
REQUEST: A General Plan Amendment to adjust the Land Use Designation
boundary between the Commercial designation of
201-221 E, Duarte Rd. and the Multiple Family Residential
(12 DUlAC Max.) designation of 810 S, Second 'Ave. to align with
the existing northerly lot line of 201 E, Duarte Rd.
SITE AREA: Approximately 46,091 square feet (1.06 acres)
FRONTAGES: Approximately 270 feet along E. Duarte Road
Approximately 188 feet along S. Second Avenue
.
.
.
.
EXISTING LAND USES AND ZONING:
201 E, Duarte Rd,:
203 & 205 E, Duarte Rd.:
Vacant lot- zoned C-1
Two 1-story general office bldgs. totaling
5,620 sq. ft. - zoned C-1
Single family residence to be razed for a
parking lot for 203 & 205 E, Duarte Rd, -
zoned C-1
1 single family residence, 4 storage
buildings, and parking for 203 & 205 E.
Duarte Rd. - zoned PR-2
221 E. Duarte Rd.:
810 S, Second Ave,:
SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING:
North: 3 single-family residences - zoned R-2
South: Bank & liquor store - zoned C-1; parking lot - zoned R-2;
single family residences - zoned R-1
East: 8-unit detached residential condominium project under
construction - zoned R-2
'West: Eating establishment - zoned C"2; and multiple family
residences - zoned R-2
,
ZONING & GENERAL PLAN,DESIGNATIONS:
The northerly 65 feet of the subject area is zoned PR-2 for multiple
family residential at a density of one unit per 3,750 square feet of
lot area or parking of transient automobiles for an adjacent or
nearby commercial use. The General Plan Land Use Designation
is MFR-12 for Multiple Family Residential at a maximum density of
12 dwelling units per acre,
The southerly portion of the subject area is zoned C-1/Limited
Commercial. The General Plan Land Use D,esignation is
Commercial with a 0.50 maximum f1oor-area-ratio,
BACKGROUND
The current property configuration was created by Parcel Map No, 8342 in 1977,
which consolidated several small lots, including the vacated alley, into the existing
2 lots (see the attached diagram of P.M. 8342), Also in 1977, Zone Change No,
Z-77-2 added a P/Automobile Parking overlay zone to the northerly R-2 zoned
portion of the property (810 S. Second Ave.), This was to enable parking on the R-2
zoned area. The parking was needed for the expansion of the commercial buildings
at 203 and 205 E. Duarte Road.
GP 00-002
October 24, 2000

.
.
.
The zone change documents (Z-77-2; Reso. 991 & Ord, 1607) indicate that the PR-2
zoning WaS applied to the property bounded on the south by the southerly line of the
vacated alley, However, this line does not coincide with the north lot line of Lot 2 of
Parcel Map 8342 (201 E. Duarte Rd,), The boundaries for subsequent General Plan
Land Use Designations of this area are consistent with the zoning boundaries,
The result of Parcel Map No. 8342 and Zone Change Z-77-2 is a 3,81 foot wide strip
of land just north of 201 E, Duarte Road that is designated for commercial use by the
General Plan and is zoned C-1. This 3,81 foot wide strip of land extends from
Second Avenue eastward to the easterly property line of Lot 1 of Parcel Map 8342.
This General Plan Amendment is the first step in aligning the General Plan Land
Use Designation and Zoning boundaries with the north lot line of 201 E. Duarte
Road (Lot 2 of Parcel Map No. 8342), The eventual goal is to develop
810 S. Second Avenue with a 5-unit residential condominium project,
PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS
I
This General Plan Amendment is to change the Land Use Designation of a 3.81 foot
wide strip of property just north of 201 E, Duarte Road (Lot 2 of PM 8342) from
Commercial to MFR-12 for Multiple Family Residential at a maximum density of
12 dwelling units per acre. This 3.81 foot wide strip of land extends from Second
Avenue eastward to the easterly property line of Lot 1 of Parcel Map 8342 (see the
attached diagram of P.M, 8342), The purpose of this change is to enable the R-2
zoned property to be developed with a 5-unit residential condominium project, The
project could not be subdivided into condominiums unless there is consistency with
the General Plan and Zoning,
This General Plan Amendment is the first application necessary to enable the
proposed 5-unit residential condominium project. Following this General Plan
Amendment will be a Zone Change (Z 00-002) of the 3,81 foot wide strip of property
to be consistent with the General Plan by changing the zoning from C-1 to R-2.
Once the Zone Change is approved, the Architectural Design Review, Zoning
Modifications, and the Tentative Map for the proposed 5-unit residential
condominium project (ADR 00-025, MP 00-024 & TM 53330) can be scheduled for
the Planning Commission's consideration.
CEQA
Pursuant to the prOVIsions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the
Development Services Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed
project. Said initial study did not disclose any substantial or potentially substantial
adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the
GP 00-002
October 24, 2000

.
.
project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of
historical or aesthetic significance. When considering the record as a whole, there
is no evidence that the proposed project will have any potential for adverse effect on
wildlife resources or the habitat upon which the wildlife depends, Therefore, a
Negative Declaration has been drafted for this project,
RECOMMENDATION
The Development Services Department recommends approval of General Plan
Amendment No, GP 00-002,
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission should adopt Resolution No. 1623: A Resolution of
the Planning Commission of the City of Arcadia, California, recommending to
the City Council approval of General Plan Amendment No. GP 00-002 to adjust
the Limd Use Designation boundary between the Commercial designation of
201-221 E. Duarte Road and the Multiple Family Residential (12 DUlAC Max.)
designation of 810 S. Second Avenue to align with the existing northerly lot
line of 201 E. Duarte Road.
If any Planning Commissioner, or other interested party has any questions or
comments regarding this matter prior to the October 24th public hearing, please
contact Associate Planner, Jim Kasama at (626) 574-5445,

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED:
The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this
project, involving at least one impact that is a 'Potentially Significant Impact" as
indicated by the checklist on the following pages:
[ ] Aesthetics [ ] Mineral Resources
[ ] AgriCUltural Resources [ ] Noise
[ ] Air Quality [ ] Population I Housing
[ ] Biological Resources [ ] Public Services
[ ] Cultural Resources [ ] Recreation
[ ] Geology I Soils [ ] Transportation I Traffic
[ ] Hazards & Hazardous Materials [ J Utilities I Service Systems
[ ] Hydrology I Water Quality [ ] Mandatory Findings of Significance
[ J Land Use I Planning
DETERMINATION: (To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
[X] I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the
'environment, and a NEGATNE DECLARATION will be prepared,
[J I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because revisions
in the project have been made by or agreed to by the applicant. A MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
[] I find that the proposed project MAY 'have a significant effect on the
environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required,
[] I find that the proposed project MAY have a 'potentially significant impact" or
'potentially significant unless mitigated impact" on the environment, but at least
one effect 1) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to
applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures
based on the earlier analysis as described on attached sheets. An
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required, but it must analyze only the
effects that remain to be addressed.
[] I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the
environment, but because all potentially significant effects (a) have been
analyzed adequately in an earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION pursuant
to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to
that earlier EIR or NEGATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or
mitigation measures that are imposed upon the proposed project, nothing
further is required.

EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS:
1. A brlef explanation is required for all answers except 'No Impact' answers that are adequately
supported by the infonnatlon sources a lead agency cites In the responses follOWing each question, A
'No Impact' answer Is adequately supported if'the referenced infonnatlon sources show ttiat the
impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g" the project falls outside a fautt
rupture zone), A 'No Impact' answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors
as well as general standards (e.g., the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based
on a project-specific screening analysis).
2, All answers must take account of the whole action Involved, including off-site as well as on-site,
cumulative as well as project-level, indirect as well as direct, and construction as well as operational
Impacts.
3. Once the lead agency has detennined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist
answers must indicate whether the Impact Is potentially significant, less than significant with
mitigation, or less than significant, 'Potentially Significant Impact' is appropriate if there is substantial
evidence that an effect is significant. If there are one or more, 'Potentially Significant Impact' entries
when the detenninatlon is made, an EIR Is required.
4. 'Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the
incorporatiDn of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially Significant Impact' to a
"Less Than Significant Impact." The lead agency must descrlbe the mitigatlon measures, and briefly
explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significant level (mitigation measures from Section
XVIII, 'Earlier Analyses,' must be cross-referenced),
5. Earlier a(lalyses may be used where, pursuant to the tierlng" program EIR, or other CEQA process, an
effect has been adequately analyzed in an earlier EIR or Negative Declaration, Section
15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following:
a) Earlier Analyses Used, Identify and state where they are available for review,
