A RESOLUTION OF THE TEMPLE CITY COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
APPROVING A MAJOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FOUR-
STORY, MULTIPLE -FAMILY APARTMENT BUILDING CONSISTING OF 26 DWELLING
UNITS AND 41 PARKING SPACES. THE PROJECT IS LOCATED IN THE MIXED -USE
ZONE OF THE CROSSROADS SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
SECTION 1. The Director has considered all of the evidence submitted into the
administrative record which includes but is not limited to:
1. Reports and presentations of project related data and analysis prepared by the
Community Development Department; and
2. The Temple City Municipal Code, General Plan, Subdivision Map Act, and all other

6. Notice of the public hearing was mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the
property at least ten days prior to the hearing.
7. Notice of the public hearing satisfied the noticing requirements set forth in
Government Code Sections 65090 and 65091.
8. The project site is located in the Mixed -Use Boulevard (MU -B) district of the
Crossroads Specific Plan (CSP).
9. The project site is designated Mixed Use -Specific Plan by the Mid -Century General
Plan.
SECTION 3. Based upon the information above, the Community Development Director
finds:
1. The construction complies with all applicable provisions of chapter TCMC 9-
1 E-2 (Zoning Code);
The project site is in the Crossroads Specific Plan (CSP) area where most
developments standards are provided by CSP including parking. After reviewing
the development plans under the CSP and all applicable development standards
of the Zoning Code, staff finds that the project is in incompliance. Therefore, the
project meets this finding.
2. The construction is consistent with the General Plan, any specific plan, and
any special design theme adopted by the City for the site and vicinity;
Per the CSP, a stand-alone residential development is permitted if the location
meets certain criteria (Special Use & Development Standards, 3.b). The subject
property is a qualified site for a multiple -family development which is designed to
meet standards prescribed by the CSP such as the density, lot coverage, parking
standards, etc. The project proposes a density of 54.2 dwellings per acres,
complying with the maximum density standard of 55 dwelling units per acre of the
CSP. The project proposes a lot coverage of 63.5 percent, complying with the 50
percent to 90 percent standard of the CSP. The project proposes an open space of
15.9 percent of the lot area, complying with the minimum of ten percent standard
of the CSP. Other standards proposed by the project such as the building setbacks,
the number of stories, fourth -floor additional setback, and build -to -zone ratio are
also in compliance. Parking is provided under the Alternative Parking Strategies
Resolution No 22-0023 CDD
File No: PL 19-1965

Page 3 of 5
using the "unbundled parking scheme" (leasing parking separately). The project
proposes a total of 41 parking spaces, 35 of which will be in a garage/carport. The
parking standard requires 42 spaces (1.5 spaces per unit plus three guest parking
spaces). The applicant prepared a parking study which has been reviewed by the
City's traffic engineer. The City's traffic engineer has accepted the analysis that on -
street parking in the area can sufficiently accommodate the need for guest parking.
Since the City will not issue on -street overnight parking to the tenants of the
development, demand for tenant parking will be managed by lease agreements.
Therefore, the project meets this finding.
3. The approval of the site plan review is in compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA);
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section
15182 (Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan), the project will be exempt from CEQA
review because it is a residential project implementing the City's Crossroads
Specific Plan. The area is covered by the EIR prepared for the Crossroads Specific
Plan and all applicable mitigation measures will be imposed on the project. After
the adoption of the EIR, no subsequent EIR has been prepared. Therefore, the
project meets this finding.
4. The proposed structures, signs, site development, grading and/or
landscaping are compatible in design, appearance and scale, with existing
uses, development, signs, structures and landscaping for the surrounding
area; and
The project, its site development, grading, and/or landscaping are found
compatible in design and meet the design guidelines of the CSP. The proposed
building will be oriented toward the major streets with the primary entrance
directly accessible to the right-of-way. A community room will be located on the
ground level with large windows to maximize the visibility. Access to the parking
space will be from the side and the rear via the two alleys, eliminating the need for
any new curb cuts on the street. The project will also provide a bike parking and
locker room at the northern portion of the ground floor to accommodate
alternative transportation modes. To distinguish the pedestrian access and
entrance to the driveway, accent materials will be used for the paving. The
architectural design also demonstrates an articulated facade and close attention to
details.

The massing design shows the considerations for the residential neighborhood.
The building will be stepped down to the east and the windows above the 2nd floor
will be small, high -sill windows. The roof -deck on the third floor will be provided
with a metal screen panel to block the view. A preliminary landscaping design has
been submitted which demonstrates that the project will provide adequate
landscaping along the perimeters of the building and for the roof -deck open space.
Staff recommends a condition of approval requiring varied materials and more
details to be used for the open space. Based on the reasons enumerated herein,
staff determines that the project meets this finding.
5. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the proposed
structures, yards, walls, fences, parking, landscaping, and other development
features.
The site consists of a land area at approximately 20,810 square feet (.48 acres) with
a dimension of 140 feet wide and 150 feet long. Both the land area and the shape
of the site are adequate to accommodate the proposed 26 -unit apartment
building. The project design has demonstrated compliance with all applicable
development standards such as density, building height, building setbacks,
parking, landscaping etc. Therefore, the project meets this finding.
SECTION 4. This project is Categorically Exempt from environmental review pursuant to
15182 (Projects Pursuant to a Specific Plan) of the California Environmental Quality Act
Guidelines.
SECTION 5. Accordingly, File No. 19-1965 a request for a major site plan review to
develop a 26 -unit apartment is approved, subject to the applicant complying with all
requirements of the Temple City Municipal Code and the conditions as set forth in Exhibits
A through C to this resolution.
SECTION 6. The Planning Secretary shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.

Department will expire if the project is not exercised within 24 months from
the date of approval.
39. Hardscape: The hardscape shown on the landscape plan and the
architectural plans must be consistent in size, location, and material. The
applicant is responsible for submitting plans that are internally consistent.
The Planning staff will verify compliance with this condition prior to
approving plans for building permit issuance. Proposed changes to the
hardscape will be reviewed and approved by the Planning staff prior to
installation or construction. Changes to the proposed hardscape must be
shown on both the architectural site plan and the landscape plan.
40. Water Efficient Landscaping: The landscaping of the site must be
implemented to fully comply with the criteria of the City's Water Efficient
Landscape Ordinance. Prior to permits being approved, the applicant must
provide the required Landscape Documentation Package or a
demonstration that the Prescriptive Measures have been met. The

applying for a floor area ratio incentive related to landscape design.
44. Grade and Drainage: At the time of submittal for building plan check, the
applicant must submit plans showing:
a. Existing grade of the subject and adjacent sites and
b. Existing drainage patterns for the subject and adjacent sites.
c. Consistency of Plans: At the time of submittal for building plan check
the applicant must submit architectural, grading, and drainage plans that
are consistent with one another and correctly demonstrate the proposed
grading.
45. Cross Lot Drainage: Where existing drainage flows from adjacent sites, then
the subject site must continue to accept cross lot drainage and should not
Page 7 of 16
File PL 19-1965
5430 Rosemead Boulevard
be designed in such a way as to drain toward adjacent sites. The subject
site may not create any barriers that prohibit existing drainage flows from
adjacent sites. The applicant must submit plans for building plan check
demonstrating compliance with this requirement and the Planning and
Building Division will verify compliance. In cases where compliance with this
condition is deemed not feasible by the City, the Director will approve
modifications to encourage as much onsite infiltration and detention as
feasible.
46. Grade Differences: If the proposed finished grade will not alter existing
cross lot drainage patterns, the difference between the grade of the subject
site and adjacent sites must be within eight inches. If the proposed finished
grade will alter existing cross lot drainage patterns, the applicant must
demonstrate how the subject property will address existing cross lot
drainage patterns.
47. Grading and Drainage Plans: The applicant must submit grading and
drainage plans that demonstrate compliance with this requirement. The
Planning and Building Divisions will review plans for compliance with this
requirement. The Building Division will verify compliance during
inspections.
48. Tree Planting: Prior to building permits being finaled, the applicant must
plant the street trees as demonstrated on the landscaping plan in the public
right-of-way along Rosemead Boulevard and Rancho Real Avenue. The
tree(s) must be planted, staked, and irrigated per the City's street tree
details, which must be shown on the landscape plan. The contractor must
call the Urban Forestry staff at (626) 285-2171 ext. 4500 to arrange for the
staff to be present during planting. Prior to permits being finaled the
applicant must call the Urban Forestry staff to inspect that that the tree was
planted and staked correctly.
