A. A TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FOR A TWO-LOT SUBDIVISION AND A
MINOR SITE PLAN REVIEW FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW TWO-
STORY SINGLE-FAMILY DWELLING ON EACH LOT LCOATED AT 9632
LEMON AVENUE.
The Commission approved a tentative parcel map located at 9632 Lemon
Avenue for a two-lot subdivision and a minor site plan review to construct a
new two-story single-family dwelling on each lot. The applicant will demolish
the existing structure in order to subdivide the property and develop each lot
with a new two-story house. The lot split will create two 50 foot wide by 150
foot deep lots, each having an overall land area of 7,500 square feet. Each
house will consist of 3,125 square feet of floor area and an attached three-car
garage. Each lot will also construct a 499 square foot detached accessory
structure; detached accessory structures over 500 square feet require a
conditional use permit. The property is located in the R-1 zone, and is
designated as Low Density Residential by the City's General Plan.
B. A MAJOR SITE PLAN REVIEW AND TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A CONDOMINIUM SUBDIVISION PROJECT
CONSISTING OF THREE DETACHED DWELLING UNITS LOCATED AT
9619 LONGDEN AVENUE.
The Commission approved a major site plan review and tentative parcel map
for the development of a condominium subdivision project consisting of three
detached dwelling units located at 9619 Longden Avenue. The applicant will
remove the two buildings currently on the site and develop three detached,
two-story condominium dwelling units. The three dwellings will be located
along the westerly property line with the access driveway on the east, each
consisting of four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Each dwelling will have a
floor area of 1 ,463 square feet to 1 ,533 square feet. The property is located
in the R-2 zone, and is designated as Light Multiple Family Residential by the
City's General Plan.
C. A CITYWIDE ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO THE TEMPLE CITY
MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE
ORDINANCE.
The Commission recommended that the City Council approve a citywide
zoning code amendment to the Temple City Municipal Code to adopt the
Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. In 2006, the state passed AB 1881,
known as the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006, which
required that a local agency adopt a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance by
City Council
February 16, 2016

January 1, 2010, or take the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance
(MWELO) by default. Since the passage of AB 1881, staff had worked on an
initiative of developing a local ordinance. After the release of the 2015
MWELO, a number of cities on the San Gabriel Council of Governments
(COG) formed a committee to develop a Regional Ordinance or a template
for the member cities. The COG committee released the template ordinance
in October of 2015 and instructed members to use it for a local ordinance.
The proposed Temple City Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance is based on
the COG template with minor modifications.
