HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem No. 1 - MFADR 22-01 TPM 23-01 (84114) PC AM 23-01 - 1025 La Cadena Ave DATE: May 23, 2023 TO: Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission FROM: Fiona Graham, Planning Services Manager Prepared By: Edwin Arreola, Associate Planner SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2127 - APPROVING A FOUR-UNIT, CONTEMPORARY- STYLE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT, A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBDIVISION, WITH A FRONT YARD SETBACK MODIFICATION AT 1025 LA CADENA AVENUE CEQA: Exempt Recommendation: Adopt SUMMARY The Applicant, Philip Chan of PDS Studio Inc., on behalf of the property owner, Sindy Siu, is requesting approval of Multiple Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 22-01, Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 23-01 (84114), and Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 23-01 for a four-unit, three-story, Contemporary-style multi-family residential condominium development with a front yard setback modification of 23’-1” in lieu of the required 25’-0” at 1025 La Cadena Avenue (“Project”). The proposed development and subdivision are consistent with the City’s General Plan, Development Code, and Subdivision Map Act. As an infill development Project with minor change to the land use limitations, the proposed development qualifies for a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2127 (refer to Attachment No. 1), approving MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114), and PC AM 23-01 subject to the conditions listed in this staff report. BACKGROUND The subject property is a 7,490 square foot interior lot, located on the west side of La Cadena Avenue, between Arcadia Avenue and Fairview Avenue. The property is zoned R-3, High Density Multiple Family Residential with a General Plan Land Use Designation of High Density Residential. The property is surrounded by other R-3 zoned properties to the north, south, east, and west. The Project site is currently improved with a single-story, residential duplex structure. The first unit was built in 1951 and the second unit was added Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 2 of 16 in 1957 – refer to Attachment No. 2 for an Aerial photo with Zoning Information and Photos of the Subject Property and Figure 1. A Certificate of Demolition (COD) for the subject property was approved on May 5, 2022. Based on the evaluation by an Architectural Historian, the property does not meet any of the minimum requirements for designation as a historical resource under federal, state and local criteria. The residence is not a good example of any particular architectural style and is not representative of or associated with any important historical events or people. The structures have not yet been demolished due to the City’s replacement policy for residential projects, which requires approval of a new project prior to demolition of the structures on site. PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting approval to demolish the existing structures on the property to construct a new, four-unit, three-story, multi-family residential condominium development with at-grade garage parking – refer to Attachment No. 3 for the Tentative Parcel Map and Attachment No. 4 for the proposed Architectural Plans. The Project requires an Administrative Modification to allow a 23’-1” front yard setback in lieu of the 25’-0” required. Any modification to the front yard setback for a new multi-family development is subject to Planning Commission review. The Project is designed in a Contemporary architectural style that incorporates design materials such as neutral toned stucco, dark accent trims, exposed fascia boards, wood siding, stone veneer, and gable vents. The design utilizes these materials to provide Figure 1 – Existing Residence Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 3 of 16 variations in the massing of each of the buildings which help visually break them up horizontally and vertically (see Figure 2). Each unit will contain three (3) bedrooms, although they will have slightly different sizes, comprising 1,210 to 1,284 square feet in floor area. Each unit will have a 20’ x 20’ two-car garage that will be accessed from the shared driveway on the north side of the property. The lot dimensions and applicable development standards limit the configuration options of the proposed development. Therefore, the Applicant is asking for a reduction in the front yard setback to 23’-1” in lieu of the required 25’-0” in order to provide each garage with the 25’-0” backout space required for access. The site will also comply with guest parking space requirements, providing two (2) parking spaces, and a bike rack for 2 spaces will be located on the north side of the property. The proposed development will have an overall building height of 33’-0”, which is the maximum height limit for a building with a pitched roof. Aside from the front yard setback, the development complies with all of the other minimum setback requirements. Additionally, the Project will provide the minimum required open space through shared common open space area at the rear of the property. Most of the existing landscaping on site will be removed and new landscaping will be installed in compliance with the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (WELO) and Multi-Family Design Guidelines. None of the existing trees on site are protected under the City’s Protected Tree Ordinance. However, Figure 2 – 1025 La Cadena Ave. Rendering Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 4 of 16 the Applicant will preserve some of the existing trees and incorporate them into the new landscape design. ANALYSIS The R-3 Zone requires a minimum density of one dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area, and a maximum density of one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area. This calculates to a minimum density of three (3) units and a maximum of five (5) units for the subject site; therefore, the proposed four-unit development complies with the minimum density requirements of the underlying R-3 Zone. Aside from the front yard setback, the Project complies with the development standards of the R-3 Zone, including, but not limited to setbacks, height, and open space. Also, the Project complies with the minimum parking requirements for each of the units, guest parking, and bicycles spaces. Therefore, the proposed development complies with the parking requirements of the R-3 Zone. The request for a reduced front yard setback is required because of the 100’-0” depth of the property. In the configuration provided, from the front of the lot to the back of the lot, the multi-family development requires a 25’-0” front yard setback, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the front (plus additional space for the garage walls), a 25’-0” back out space, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the rear (plus additional space for the garage walls), and a 10’-0” rear yard setback. Taking into account these minimum required dimensions, there is an overall shortage of 1’-11” across the depth of the property Figure 3 – Site Plan N LA C A D E N A A V E . Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 5 of 16 to accommodate the structures in the configuration proposed. The Applicant explored arranging the units in various other configurations, as shown in Figure 4 below, however each of these layouts was infeasible in terms of meeting the required setbacks, providing the minimum back out space, or avoiding front facing garages. Figure 4 – Layout Study showing alternative site layouts considered by the Applicant Providing the minimum required three units instead of four would allow the development to be in compliance with all development standards. However, compliant site layouts would result in a poorer design outcome. One possible compliant layout would require the units to be configured in a row-style along the depth of the lot, making the building appear narrow from the street front and exposing the driveway and backup space area. Another possible three-unit configuration would require at least one street facing garage and a shared driveway, a design that is inconsistent with the neighborhood. Allowing the Project to encroach 1'-11" into the front yard setback accommodates a better site layout and creates a more desirable curb appeal, as no garages would be visible to the street and the front building would have a larger presence along the street frontage. In order to keep the minimum required garage size and back out space to prevent any access issues, and to keep the minimum required open space area located in the rear yard, the Applicant is requesting for a reduction in the front yard setback of 1’-11”. Additionally, there are two multi-family developments located two properties to the north that are within 15’-0” of La Cadena Avenue. According to the setback diagram for the properties on La Cadena Avenue between Fairview Avenue and Arcadia Avenue (see Figure 5), the street- side yard setback for the corner property at 1001 La Cadena Avenue is 14’-6” and the Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 6 of 16 street-side yard setback for the corner property at 1000 La Cadena Avenue is 10’-0”. Despite being the street-side setbacks of these properties, the length of these buildings along La Cadena Avenue make it so that a 23’-1” front yard setback for the subject property would not be a drastic or noticeable modification along this block. The property to the north of the subject property has a front yard setback of 26’-6” and the property to the south has a front yard setback of 25’-0”. This block of La Cadena only contains four (4) properties on the west side, including the subject property, and the average setback of the three (3) other properties is approximately 20’-2”. The proposed front yard setback would be reasonable and compatible with the streetscape. Concurrent with the subdivision application, the Planning Commission must approve, conditionally approve, or deny the architectural design of the Project. The Project is designed in a Contemporary architectural style – refer to Attachment No. 4 and Figure 6. Although there is a collection of Traditional-style buildings within the vicinity, there is not a dominant architectural style that stands out within this neighborhood. The proposed contemporary design would be compatible with the existing traditional multi-family developments in the neighborhood, as it incorporates elements that fit in with the older, Figure 5 – Setback Diagram LA C A D E N A A V E . FAIRVIEW AVE. Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 7 of 16 traditional style buildings on this street, such as the use of neutral toned stucco, exposed fascia boards, wood siding, and traditional looking gable vents. The exterior walls of the building are proposed to be finished with an off-white, sand stucco, stone veneer, and lap siding which will provide a variety of neutral-tone colors. The roof will consist of composite slate, off-gray colored roofing tiles and white fascia boards along the eaves. Additional architectural features include black window trim, wrought iron balcony railings, gable vents, and metal awnings. The Applicant has also designed two other developments within proximity to this site. One is under construction and located across the street at 1022 La Cadena Avenue and the other development is located on the block south of this Project at 1111-1117 La Cadena Avenue and is similar in design to the Project. The Project will also provide adequate landscaping throughout the property to enhance the design. The massing and scale of this Project would be compatible with the other multi-family developments found in the surrounding multi-family neighborhood. The height of the new development will not be out of character with the existing developments on La Cadena Avenue and other multi-family developments with similar lot sizes in the vicinity. There are other existing three-story developments and two-story developments with semi- subterranean parking within close proximity to the subject site. Landscaping will be provided along the property lines where feasible and window placement on the development has been considered for privacy of the neighboring properties. Therefore, the proposed development and subdivision of condominiums would be consistent with the City’s General Plan, Multiple-Family Residential Design Guidelines, the Development Figure 6 - Elevations Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 8 of 16 Code, the State Subdivision Map Act, and would not violate any requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. FINDINGS Tentative Parcel Map The proposal to subdivide the airspace for four (4) residential condominium units requires a subdivision through the Tentative Parcel Map process – see Attachment No. 3 for Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 23-01 (84114). The proposed subdivision complies with the subdivision regulations of the Arcadia Municipal Code and the Subdivision Map Act and would 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 tentative parcel map for a four-unit multi-family residential condominium development and subdivision of the airspace has been reviewed for compliance with the City’s General Plan, Development Code, and the State’s Subdivision Map Act. It has been determined that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan High Density Residential Land Use designation and the R-3, High Density Multiple Family Residential zoning designation. These designations are intended to accommodate high density, attached or detached residential units such as condominiums, within the appropriate neighborhoods. The proposed tentative parcel map complies with the Subdivision Map Act regulations and there is no specific plan applicable to this Project. The site is physically suitable for this type of development, and the approval of the architectural design for the building is compatible with the scale and character of the existing neighborhood. The Project would not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan and is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies: Land Use and Community Design Element • 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. • Policy LU-4.1: Require that new multi-family residential development be visually and functionally integrated and consistent in scale, mass, and character with structures in the surrounding neighborhood. • Policy LU-4.2: Encourage residential development that enhances the visual character, quality, and uniqueness of the City’s neighborhoods and districts. B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development. Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 9 of 16 Facts in Support of the Finding: The R-3 Zone requires a minimum density of one dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area, and a maximum density of one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area. Based on the lot area of 7,490 square feet, a minimum of three (3) units and a maximum of five (5) units can be developed at this site. Therefore, the proposed four-unit development complies with the density requirements of the underlying zone. The Project also complies with all other applicable zoning requirements including but not limited to parking, height, open space, and setbacks, with the exception of the front yard setback which is the subject of an Administrative Modification. The proposed front yard setback is 23’-1”, whereas 25’-0” is required, which is consistent with two other multi-family developments in the vicinity and allows for an appropriate improvement of the lot. The site is physically suitable for the proposed four-unit multi-family residential development. 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 proposed tentative parcel map for four (4) multi-family residential units is a subdivision of an infill site within an urbanized area and does not serve as a habitat for endangered or rare species. The Project would not cause substantial environmental damage or impact wildlife. 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: The proposed subdivision is to subdivide the airspace of four (4) units for condominium purposes. The construction would be in compliance with all applicable Building and Fire Codes to ensure public health and safety. The proposed density would be below the maximum allowed by the R-3 Zone and the City’s existing infrastructure would adequately serve the new development. Therefore, the Project would not cause any public health or safety problems. 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: The proposed design of the subdivision 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. Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 10 of 16 F. The discharge of sewage from the proposed subdivision into the community sewer system would not result in violation of existing requirements specified by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Facts in Support of the Finding: The Arcadia Public Works Services Department determined that the City’s existing infrastructure would adequately serve the new development, and the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board would be satisfied. G. The proposed design and site improvements of the subdivision conform 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 design of the multi-family development is in conformance with the City’s Development Code, as all development standards are being met, and all of the improvements required for the site and each unit would comply with the regulations in the City’s Development Code. Planning Commission Administrative Modification According to Arcadia Development Code Section 9107.05.050, it states that an Administrative Modification may be approved if at least one of the following findings can be made: 1. Secure an appropriate improvement of a lot; 2. Prevent an unreasonable hardship; or 3. Promote uniformity of development The proposed modification will promote uniformity of development by allowing the multi- family development to have a front yard setback of 23’-1” in lieu of the required front yard setback of 25’-0”. The proposed front yard setback would not be less than the street side setbacks for two other existing properties located two properties to north from the subject property along La Cadena Avenue which are within 10’-0” and 14’-6” of the streetside property line. The proposed modification will also secure an appropriate improvement of the lot. The 100’-0” depth of the lot limits the configuration of the development. The lot requires a 25’-0” front yard setback, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the front (plus additional space for the garage walls), a 25’-0” back out space, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the rear (plus additional space for the garage walls), and a 10’-0” rear yard setback. The combined length of these setbacks, walls and garages exceeds the depth of the lot by 1’-11”. In order to keep the minimum required garage size and back out space to prevent any access issues and to keep the minimum required open space area located at the rear yard, a reduction in the front yard setback is appropriate. The proposed front yard setback encroachment of 1’-11”, would not result in any negative impacts to the neighboring properties and would be compatible with the current streetscape on La Cadena Avenue. Resolution No. 2127 - MFADR 22-01, TPM 23-01 (84114) and PC AM 23-01 1025 La Cadena Avenue May 23, 2023 – Page 11 of 16 Architectural Design Review The proposed development is located within the High Density Residential (R-3) Zone, which is intended to provide a variety of medium to high density residential development. The proposed design of the four-unit condominium Project is compatible with existing multi- family developments in the surrounding neighborhood in terms of design, massing, and scale. The proposed Contemporary-style architectural design would be compatible with other existing multi-family developments along La Cadena Avenue and within the neighborhood as it incorporates traditional-looking elements to its design that are compatible with many of the older, traditional looking buildings. The architectural elements incorporated in this design, such as neutral toned stucco, lap siding, and stone veneer, are consistent with developments in the vicinity that have similar features. Additionally, the massing and scale of the new development will not be out of character with developments in the vicinity as many of the existing multi-family developments consist of three-story developments and two-story developments with semi-subterranean parking. The proposed buildings have articulation on all facades, providing visual interest and reducing massing. The proposed design is therefore consistent with the City’s Multifamily Residential Design Guidelines. All City requirements regarding disabled access and facilities, occupancy limits, building safety, health code compliance, emergency equipment, environmental regulation compliance, and parking and site design shall be complied with by the property owner/applicant to the satisfaction of the Building Official, City Engineer, Deputy Development Services Director, Fire Marshal, and Public Works Services Director, or their respective designees. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT It has 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 Project would not have any significant effects upon the environment, and the site can be adequately served by all the required utilities and public services. Therefore, the Project is exempt under Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects) pursuant to Section 15332 of the State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines. Additionally, the Project is also exempt under Class 5 as a minor alteration to the land use limitations of CEQA under Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines. Refer to Attachment No. 5 for the Preliminary Exemption Assessment. PUBLIC NOTICE/COMMENTS A public hearing notice for this item was published in the Arcadia Weekly and mailed to the property owners located within 300 feet of the subject property on May 11, 2023. Staff received one public comment from a neighbor in opposition to the Project, as they do not agree with the requested change to provide a front yard setback of 23’-1” (refer to Attachment No. 6).

PC AM 23-01, WITH A CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) FOR A FOUR-UNIT, CONTEMPORARY-STYLE MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT, A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP SUBDIVISION, WITH A FRONT YARD SETBACK MODIFICATION AT 1025 LA CADENA AVENUE WHEREAS, on January 19, 2022, February 23, 2023, and April 10, 2023, applications for Multiple Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 22-01, Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 23-01 (84114), and Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 23-01 were filed by Philip Chan of PDS Studio Inc. on behalf of the property owner, Sindy Siu, for a four-unit, three-story, Contemporary-style multi-family residential condominium development with a front yard setback modification of 23’-1” in lieu of the required 25’-0” at 1025 La Cadena Avenue (collectively, “Project”); and WHEREAS, on May 10, 2023, Planning Services completed an environmental assessment for the Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and recommends that the Planning Commission determine the Project is exempt under CEQA per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines because the Project is considered an in-fill development project and per Section 15305 of the CEQA Guidelines as a minor alteration to the land use limitations; and WHEREAS, on May 23, 2023, a duly-noticed public hearing was held before the Planning Commission on said Project, at which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present evidence. 24347.00004\41320453.1 2 NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The factual data submitted by the Community Development Division in the staff report dated May 23, 2023, 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 Division of the Development Code: FACT: The proposed tentative parcel map for a four-unit multi-family residential condominium development and subdivision of the airspace has been reviewed for compliance with the City’s General Plan, Development Code, and the State’s Subdivision Map Act. It has been determined that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the General Plan High Density Residential Land Use designation and the R-3, High Density Multiple Family Residential zoning designation. These designations are intended to accommodate high density, attached or detached residential units such as condominiums, within the appropriate neighborhoods. The proposed tentative parcel map complies with the Subdivision Map Act regulations and there is no specific plan applicable to this Project. The site is physically suitable for this type of development, and the approval of the architectural design for the building is compatible with the scale and character of the existing neighborhood. The Project would not adversely affect the comprehensive General Plan and is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies: Land Use and Community Design Element 24347.00004\41320453.1 3 • 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. • Policy LU-4.1: Require that new multi-family residential development be visually and functionally integrated and consistent in scale, mass, and character with structures in the surrounding neighborhood. • Policy LU-4.2: Encourage residential development that enhances the visual character, quality, and uniqueness of the City’s neighborhoods and districts. B. The site is physically suitable for the type and proposed density of development: FACT: The R-3 Zone requires a minimum density of one dwelling unit per 2,200 square feet of lot area, and a maximum density of one unit per 1,450 square feet of lot area. Based on the lot area of 7,490 square feet, a minimum of three (3) units and a maximum of five (5) units can be developed at this site. Therefore, the proposed four-unit development complies with the density requirements of the underlying zone. The Project also complies with all other applicable zoning requirements including but not limited to parking, height, open space, and setbacks, with the exception of the front yard setback which is the subject of an Administrative Modification. The proposed front yard setback is 23’-1”, whereas 25’-0” is required, which is consistent with two other multi-family developments in the vicinity and allows for an appropriate improvement of the lot. The site is physically suitable for the proposed four-unit multi-family residential development. 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: 24347.00004\41320453.1 4 FACT: The proposed tentative parcel map for four (4) multi-family residential units is a subdivision of an infill site within an urbanized area and does not serve as a habitat for endangered or rare species. The Project would not cause substantial environmental damage or impact wildlife. D. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements is not likely to cause serious public health or safety problems: FACT: The proposed subdivision is to subdivide the airspace of four (4) units for condominium purposes. The construction would be in compliance with all applicable Building and Fire Codes to ensure public health and safety. The proposed density would be below the maximum allowed by the R-3 Zone and the City’s existing infrastructure would adequately serve the new development. Therefore, the Project would not cause any public health or safety problems. 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 the review authority to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision): FACT: The proposed design of the subdivision 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. 24347.00004\41320453.1 5 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 Arcadia Public Works Services Department determined that the City’s existing infrastructure would adequately serve the new development, and the requirements of the California Regional Water Quality Control Board would be satisfied. G. The proposed design and site improvements of the subdivision conform to the regulations of the City’s Development Code and the regulations of any public agency having jurisdiction by law: FACT: The proposed design of the multi-family development is in conformance with the City’s Development Code, as all development standards are being met, and all of the improvements required for the site and each unit would comply with the regulations in the City’s Development Code. H. Administrative Modification The Project meets at least one of the following: • Secure an appropriate improvement of a lot; • Prevent an unreasonable hardship; or • Promote uniformity of development FACT: The proposed modification will promote uniformity of development by allowing the multi-family development to have a front yard setback of 23’-1” in lieu of the required front yard setback of 25’-0”. The proposed front yard setback would not be less than the street side setbacks for two other existing properties located two properties to north from the subject property along La Cadena Avenue which are within 10’-0” and 14’- 24347.00004\41320453.1 6 6” of the streetside property line. The proposed modification will also secure an appropriate improvement of the lot. The 100’-0” depth of the lot limits the configuration of the development. The lot requires a 25’-0” front yard setback, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the front (plus additional space for the garage walls), a 25’-0” back out space, a 20’-0” interior garage space for the building at the rear (plus additional space for the garage walls), and a 10’-0” rear yard setback. The combined length of these setbacks, walls and garages exceeds the depth of the lot by 1’-11”. In order to keep the minimum required garage size and back out space to prevent any access issues and to keep the minimum required open space area located at the rear yard, a reduction in the front yard setback is appropriate. The proposed front yard setback encroachment of 1’- 11”, would not result in any negative impacts to the neighboring properties and would be compatible with the current streetscape on La Cadena Avenue. I. The proposal is consistent with the City’s Multifamily Residential Design Guidelines: FACT: The proposed development is located within the High Density Residential (R-3) Zone, which is intended to provide a variety of medium to high density residential development. The proposed design of the four-unit condominium project is compatible with existing multi-family developments in the surrounding neighborhood in terms of design, massing, and scale. The proposed Contemporary-style architectural design would be compatible with other existing multi-family developments along La Cadena Avenue and within the neighborhood as it incorporates traditional-looking elements to its design that are compatible with many of the older, traditional looking buildings. The architectural elements incorporated in this design, such as neutral toned stucco, lap 24347.00004\41320453.1 7 siding, and stone veneer, are consistent with developments in the vicinity that have similar features. Additionally, the massing and scale of the new development will not be out of character with developments in the vicinity as many of the existing multi-family developments consist of three-story developments and two-story developments with semi-subterranean parking. The proposed buildings have articulation on all facades, providing visual interest and reducing massing. The proposed design is therefore consistent with the City’s Multifamily Residential Design Guidelines. SECTION 3. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), this Project is subject to a Class 32 Categorical Exemption as an infill- development project per Section 15332 of the CEQA Guidelines, and Class 5 Categorical Exemption as a minor alteration to the land use limitations per Section 15305 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”), Sections 15305 and 15332, and approves Multiple Family Architectural Design Review No. MFADR 22-01, Tentative Parcel Map No. TPM 23-01 (84114), and Planning Commission Administrative Modification No. PC AM 23-01 for a four-unit multi-family residential condominium development at 1025 La Cadena Avenue, subject to the conditions of approval attached hereto. SECTION 5. The Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution. 24347.00004\41320453.1 8 Passed, approved and adopted this 23rd day of May, 2023.

Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. Hello, I wanted to comment on the proposed use for the project at 1025 La Cadena. As a neighbor living at 530 Fairview Ave I appreciate the tree canopy and wide set streets. Our setbacks are planned to assure future generations of more sunlight, a larger tree canopy. It one of the reasons that Arcadia looks and feels different from other mis managed cities. Reducing the setback reduces the quality of life for the neighborhood. I do not agree with a request to change the setback from 25’ to 23’ 1”. Please do not approve. I cannot make it to the hearing so I submit my comment here. Regards, John Flores 626-429-3300
