GP 01-001 TO CHANGE THE G,:NERAL PLAN DESIGNATION FROM SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL TO MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (12 DUlAC MAXIMUM) FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1012-1026 S. FIRST AVENUE. WHEREAS, on February 12, 2001, Mr. Hank Jong of EGL Associates, Inc. filed an application for a General Plan Amendment to change the General Plan Land Use Designation from Single-Family Residential (0-6 DUlAC) to Multiple-Family Residential (12 DUlAC Maximum) for the property located at 1012-1026 S. First Avenue, more particularly described as follows: Lots 5, 6, 7 and E: of Tract 10532, City of Arcadia, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as per map recorded in Book 117, Pages 21 and 22 of Maps, in the Office of the County Recorder of Said County. WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on March 27, 2001 at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. NOW, THEREFOFIE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That the factual data submitted by the Community Development DiYision of the Development Services Department in the attached report dated March 27, 2001 are true and correct. Section 2. The Planning Commission finds: 1. That the propo:3ed General Plan Land Use Designation change to Multiple Family Residential is consistent with the current R-2 (Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential) zoning of the subject properties. In addition, the properties are a transition site; the General Plan Land Use designation to the south is Single Family Residential and the General Plan designation to the north is Commercial. Property to the south is developed with single-family homes and property to the north is developed with commercial uses. 2. That the requested General Plan Amendment does not conflict with the General Plan Land Use Designations of any surrounding or nearby properties. 3. That the evalu~ltion of the environmental impacts as set forth in the Initial Study is appropriate and that the project will have no significant effect upon the environment within the meaning of the California Emiironmental Quality Act of 1970, and, when considering the project as a whole, there was no evidence before the City that the proposed project would . . . have any potentially adverse effect on wildlife resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends, and therefore, a Negative Declaration should be approved. Section 3. That for the foregoing reasons the Planning Commission recommends to the City Council appr()val of General Plan Amendment No; GP 01-001 based upon the information submitted by the Applicant to the City as of the date of this Resolution. Section 4. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution and shall cause a copy to be forwarded to the City Council of the City of Arcadia.

SUBJECT: Consideration of a Proposed General Plan Change 01-001 at 1012- 1026 S. First Avenue TO: FROM: SUMMARY . Hank Jong, filed an application fora General Plan change (GP 01-001) from Single Family Residentiaf(o.~6 DUlAC) to Multiple Family Residential (12 DUlAC Maximum) for the property at 10'1~!;1026 S. First Avenue. The four lots that are included in the General Plan Amendment are all zoned R-2 Two-Family. The proposed General Plan change would allciW the zoning designation to be consistent with General Plan designation. The Development Services Department is recommending approval of the proposed General Plan Amendmf3nt. GENERAL INFORMATION APPLICANT: Hank .long, Engineer LOCATION: 1012-'1026 S. First Avenue REQUEST: Proposed General Plan change from Single Family Residential (0-6 DUlAC) to Multiple Family Residential (12 DUlAC) SiTE AREA: 44,1013 square feet (0.99 acres) FRONTAGES: 200.00' feet along First Ave. EXISTING LAND USE & ZONING: Three lots with !lingle-family homes (1012 S. First Avenue built in 1948, 1016 and 1020 S. First Avenue built in 1939) and one lot with two single-family homes (1024-2Ei S. First Avenue built in 1959); zoned R-2. . . SURROUNDING LAND USES & ZONING: North: "76 Gas Station", commercial buildings, and non-conforming single family dw,allings; zoned C-2 South: Single4arnily dwelling; zoned R-1 East: Single-farnily dwelling; zoned R-1 West: Church and apartments; zoned R-2 and R-3 . . GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION: The site is designated as Single Family Residential (0-6 DUlAC) BACKGROUND The inconsistency betw'3en the General Plan and the Zoning came to light when a proposed 6-unit residential condominium project was submitted to the City for development of the properties at 1020-1026 S. First Avenue. The proposed project was designed in accordance with the City's R-2 regulations. Although the subject properties are zoned R-2, the General Plan designation for the properties is Single-Family Residential. The property was zoned R-2 in 1954, which was consistent with the R-2 zoning to the properties to the north and west of the properties. As a result of the discrepancy between the zoning and' the General Plan, a tentative map for condominium purposes cannot be approved at this location. The applicant was informed of the inconsistency and was advised. by staff to request a General Plan Amendrnentfrom Single Family Residential to Multiple-Family Residential (12 DUlAC Maximum) for the site, in addition to the two lots north of the subject site to provide c( transition zone from Commercial to Multiple Family Residential (see attach'3d Land Use and Zoning Map). PROPOSAL AND ANALYSIS Genera.lly, Development Services staff does not encourage or support General Plan changes. However, thEl Development Services staff supports this proposal for the following reasons: 1. The zoning desi!~nation is R-2 Two-Family. 2. One of the four lots (1024-1026 S. First Avenue) is developed with two single- family dwellings, GP 01-001 March 27, 2001 Page 2 . 3. Properties on the west side of First Avenue, across the street fonn the subject properties are zoned C-2, PR-1 (parking lot for commercial development) and R-2 (developed with a church). 4. The General Plan Amendment would create a transition between the commercial development to the north and the Single Family Residential development to the sOllth. The R-2 zone is-a-mor.e desirable transition between the service station and health club and church than an R-1 zone. . . The proposed General Plan change would make the subject properties consistent with current the zoning designation. CEQA Pursuant to the provIsions of the Califomia 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 project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise and objects of historical or aesthetic si!~nificance. 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 ha.s been prepared for this project. RECOMMENDATION The Development Services Department recommends that the General Plan designation for the subject site be changed to Single Family Residential (0-6 DUlAC) to Multiple Family Residential (12 DUlAC Maximum). PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION The Planning Commission should direct staff to convey the Commission's recommendations and comments to the City Council for its consideration at a scheduled public hearing.

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: The environmental factors checked below would be potentially affected by this project, invol ving at least one impact that is a "Potentially Significant Impact" as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. . . DETERMINATION (To be,:ompleted by the Lead Agency): On the basis of this initial evaluation: I fmd that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARAll0N will be prepared. - 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 project proponent. 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 or "potentially significant unless mitigated" impact on the c:nvironment, but at least one effect I) has been adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and 2) has been addressed by mitigation measures based on"the emlier 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. because all potentially significant .:ffects (a) have been analyzed adequately in an earlier BIR or NEGA TNB DECLARATION pursuant to applicable standards, and (b) have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to that earlier BIR orNEEiATIVE DECLARATION, including revisions or mitigation measures that me imposed upon the proposed project, nothing further is required. 3/112001 Date CITY OF ARCADIA For CITY /R VPUB/2000200 1/546265 FORM HJ" Page 20f 4 EVALUATION OPENVIRONMENTAL IMPACfS: . 1) A brief explanation is required for all answers except "No Impact" answers that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses following each question. A "No Impact" Wlswer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply dOl:S not apply to projects like the one involved (e.g. the project falls outside a fault rupture zone). A "No Impact" Wlswer should be explained where it is based on proJect-specifIc lactors as well as general standards (e.g. the project WIll not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants, based on a project-specific screening Wlalysis). 2) All Wlswers must take account of the whole action involved, including off-site as well as on- site, cumulative as well as project-level. indireclas well as direct, Wld construction as well as operational impacts. , ' 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur, then the checklist Wlswers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significWlt, less than significWlt with mitigation, or less thltn significWlt. "Potentially Significant.Impact" is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect is significWlt. If there are one or more "Potentially SignificWlt Impact" entries when the determination is made, Wl_EIR is required. . 4) "Negative Declaration: Less ThWl SignificWlt With Mitigation Incorporated" applies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from "Potentially SignificWlt Impact" to a "Less than SignificWlt Impact." The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effect to a less than significWlt level (mitigation measures froIr, Section XVII, "Earlier Analyses," may be cross-referenced). 5) Earlier Wlalyses may be used where, PUrsUWlt to the tiering, program EIR, or other CEQA process, Wl effect has been adequately analyzed in Wl earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In tl1is cEtse, a brief discussion should identify the following: a) Earlier Analyses Used. Identify Wld state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequate Iy Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately Wlalyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards, and slate whether such effects were addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis. c) Mitigation Measures. For effects that are "Less than SignificWlt with Mitigation Measures Incorporate:!," describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document Wld the extent to which they address site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are enc:ouraged to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources for potential impacts (e.g. general plWls, zoning ordinances). Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate, include a reference to the page or pages where the statement is substantiated. . CITYIRVPUB/2001/313785 FORM HI" Page 3 of 4 . 7) Supporting Information Sources. A source list should be attached, and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This is only a suggested form, and lead agencies are free to use different formats; however, lead agencies should normally address the questions form this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever format is selected. 9) The explanation of eal:h issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold, if any, used to evaluate each question; and b) the mitigation mea.sure identified, if any, to reduce the impact to Jess than significance. . .
