parcel map for a four-unit commercial subdivision at 5700 Rosemead
Boulevard (Camellia Square). The approval also included the street
vacation at the southern end of Myda Avenue, and the lot line adjustment

April 12, 2018. The City's Engineering Staff advised the Planning Staff that
the plan check for the final map could not be concluded before the

Mixed-Use Zone Districts particularly, Mixed-Use Low intensity (MU-L) and
Mixed-Use Medium intensity (MU-M). The vision for the MU-L zone located
near Lower Azusa Road, is to create a transition from a single-family
neighborhood to a mixed-use area. The MU-M zone located along Las
Tunas Drive as well as Temple City Boulevard, is proposed to have a
