She then left the Council Chambers. Associate Planner Veronica Hernandez presented the staff report. During her presentation she spoke about the previous application which was approved by the Planning Commission, appealed to the City Council, then withdrawn by Verizon Wireless. She also told the Commission that this application was proposing the mono-eucalyptus tree in the same location at the request of South Hills Country Club. In addition, she told the Commission that this location complied with the separation requirement for this type of use. Also during her presentation, Ms. Hernandez added that staff had recommended a clock tower design due to deterioration of the mono-tree designs over time. She also spoke about the proposed improvements to the location and the new equipment vault. City Attorney Scott Porter spoke to the Commission regarding federal law that applies to the matters the City can consider regarding wireless telecommunications facilities. There was a short discussion by the Commission regarding the height of the existing trees at the proposed location and possible conditions of approval for maintenance of the mono-eucalyptus tree. Chairman Holtz opened the public hearing. PROPONENTS: John Halminski, applicant, Paul Blackburn and Dave Stewart spoke in favor of the project. Mr. Halminski answered questions by the Commission regarding the proposed location, design of the wireless facility, the selection of the site for the facility, as well as the maintenance of the tower and equipment shelter. Mr. Stewart told the Commission that the new cell tower had been needed in the area for a long time. He said there was very little cell phone reception in the area and on the golf course. He further expressed his concern that lack of cell phone reception could be dangerous in an emergency. Mr. Blackburn agreed with Mr. Stewart that lack of service in the area was dangerous. In addition, he expressed his support of using a clock tower instead of a tree design to stealth the wireless telecommunications facility. \\Storagellpiandata\PLANCOMNINUTES12018 MINUTES15.8.18 minutes.doc Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 — May 8, 2018 OPPONENTS: Chia-Hsin Wang, Pauline Maxwell, Emily Chang, Thomas Lewis, Amy Franklin, James Liu, Sheng Wang, Hsiao Jung Wang, Yu Yu Chen, Mei Yu Lin, George Lin, Yaw Wang, Brandon Sun, Lulu Chao, Chiy Chiy Wang, Nila Tran, Irene Garcia, Del Garcia, Sharon Wang, William Biller, Nancy Cruz Biller, Diana Huynh, Lai-Ling Chan, Bella Chan and Betty Liu expressed their opposition by submitting Agenda Item Position slips. Elsa Huizar, Steven Gao, Curtis Huynh, Kevin Lee, Richard Liu, Laura Vieyra, Jeff Sun, Katherine Cardiel, Reid Wu, Ashley Huynh, Rick Heng, Janine Petersen, Ian Pike, Peter Wang, and Linda Jo Witte spoke in opposition. The opponents expressed their opposition to the project due to loss of views, allowing a commercial use in a residential area, lack of adequate notification, loss of property values, the aesthetics of the proposed facility, the use of a tree design instead of a clock tower, possible increase in height for the tower, the negative impact on the neighborhood and views in the community. In addition, many of the opponents said their cell phone service was adequate and worked well in the area. REBUTTAL: Mr. Halminski rebutted the testimony of the opponents by saying he had sent out notices and invited the residents to a community meeting so that he could address their concerns. He said that no one attended the meeting. In addition, he answered questions by the Commission regarding the height of the proposed facility to 50 feet. Chairman Holtz closed the public hearing. There was a discussion by the Commission regarding the concerns of the opponents, and the proposed location and design of the wireless telecommunications facility. It was the consensus of the Commission that perhaps a different design and location would be better for the City. Mr. Halminiski agreed to contact South Hills Country Club to ask them to explore a different design and possibly a different location. Mr. Halminiski also agreed to a continuance of this matter to a date uncertain. Motion by Redholtz, seconded by Jimenez, to continue this matter to a date uncertain to allow the applicant to redesign the proposed wireless telecommunications facility. Motion carried 4-0 (Heng abstained.) Chairman Holtz called a recess at 8:50 p.m. Chairman Holtz reconvened the meeting at 8:55 p.m. \\Storagel \plandata\PLANCOM \MINUTES\2018 MINUTES15.8.18 minutes.doe Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 — May 8, 2018 3. CODE AMENDMENT NO. 17-03 GENERAL EXEMPTION APPLICANT: City of West Covina LOCATION: Citywide REQUEST: The proposed code amendment consists of certain amendments to the Zoning section of the West Covina Municipal Code to modify standards for Accessory Dwelling Units. Planning Director Jeff Anderson presented the staff report. During his presentation Mr. Anderson told the Commission that a survey of surrounding cities' separation requirements was provided. Mr. Anderson also reviewed the discussions at the previous study sessions and spoke about the findings, changes in terminology and requirements included in the new code. He also informed the Commission that staff had received an email from Jamie Lee regarding the code amendment. Staff recommended approval of the code amendment. There was a short discussion regarding how many properties in the city would be restricted from having accessory dwelling units under the proposed code. City Attorney Scott Porter also spoke to the Commission regarding this matter. Chairman Holtz opened the public hearing. PROPONENTS: No one spoke in favor of this application. OPPONENTS: Kevin Lee spoke to the Commission regarding options open to him to convert a game room into an accessory dwelling unit. He also told the Commission that there should be better guidelines in the Code. Chairman Holtz closed the public hearing. Commissioner Heng asked about the required building separation and asked that the required separation be lowered to allow more property owners to build ADUs on their properties. There was a short discussion regarding Commissioner Heng's request. At the conclusion of the discussion it was the consensus of the Commission to reduce the required building separation to 15 feet. Motion by Castellanos, seconded by Heng, to waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 18-5947 as amended.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting the approval of a single-family residential development comprised of 56 attached townhomes. The project site consists of two (2) contiguous parcels. The northern parcel (1530 West Cameron Avenue) is developed with one single-story office building built in 1971. The southern parcel (APN 8468-016-901) fronts on South Walnut Creek Parkway. The parcel is a remnant piece of property from the construction of the Walnut Creek Wash, and is currently vacant. The project requires the granting of the following entitlements: • Precise Plan to allow the development of the residential townhome developments. • Tentative Tract Map to consolidate two (2) contiguous parcels to build 56 residential townhome units. )=. Tree Removal Permit for the removal of six (6) significant trees, including two sycamore trees. Precise Plan The proposed project requires the approval of a precise plan to allow the proposed building architecture and site layout. Access to the site would be provided via a driveway off West Cameron Avenue on the southerly side of the property. The main drive aisle would continue through the site, providing access via private lanes to the dwelling units. The site currently features two driveways. The northernmost Muse Files11)1112017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5,22,181StaffReport.doc PP No. 17-04, TIM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 - Page 5 driveway would be removed as part of this proposal. The 2.82-acre site is relatively flat. A 5-foot, 9-inch high solid vehicular crash gate is provided at the rear of the property, allowing public safety access to the property if necessary. Architecture The project proposes a modern architectural design for the townhomes. The elevation incorporates wall projections, recessed doors, elevated stoops, concrete flat tile roof, stucco trim, brick veneer, steel rod-supported metal awnings, decorative metal garage doors, and decorative light fixtures to provide visual interest. The exterior walls will have a smooth stucco finish and will be painted a variety of neutral tone colors including gray and white. The first floor of each building will feature brick veneer. Each entry door will be painted in a bright color to provide contrast, and will feature a metal awning. The combination of materials and architectural variation helps reduce the scale and massing of the proposed structures. The proposal was reviewed twice by the City's architectural and urban design consultant for conformance to the design standards of the Downtown Plan and Code (DTPC) (Attachment No. 3). The applicant worked with staff and followed the recommendations of the design review to provide a quality design with interesting elements consistent with the DTPC. Three-bedroom units and three different floor plans are proposed as indicated in the table below.

The law requires that a minimum of 6 units be ADA accessible. The applicant is proposing 8 ADA accessible units within the project. Development Layout Since the submittal of entitlements in 2017, the applicant worked with staff on several revisions including site design, building placement, and building design. Based on staff working with the applicant, the dwellings are proposed as a mix of two-and-three-story attached units that will be in five separate buildings. The applicant is proposing the "Rowhouse" building type, described in the Downtown Plan and Code (DTPC). Rowhouses consist of attached units, with the ground floor raised above grade level to provide privacy. Building 1 (Building Type "A") fronting West Cameron Avenue will contain 7 units. Buildings 2-4 (Building Type "C") will feature 14 units each. Building 5 (Building Type "B") is located towards the back of the lot and will contain 7 units. The units in Building 1, fronting West Cameron Avenue, will be oriented to face the street. These units will be accessed either from a front door facing Cameron Avenue, or through the garages located at the back of the units. By orienting the units to face the street, the project provides a better relationship with the street, provides visibility from the units to the street, and is compatible with goals of the DTPC. The applicant has provided stoops along the front elevation to provide variation and aesthetic interest, incorporating the units into the street while providing a level of privacy for the ground floor. The remaining units provide access either via a private street (Street A), or private alleys in between the buildings. The units are oriented towards each other, creating a courtyard within each building block. The units provide access by front doors either on the courtyard or the private street, or via garages at the rear of each unit. Each unit will have a garage with two parking spaces. In addition, a total of 17 guest parking spaces will be provided on the site. Fourteen of the parking spaces are parallel spaces located along the easterly side of the lot. Three of the parking spaces, including an ADA parking space and loading zone, are located to the rear of the lot. Staff worked with the applicant to address privacy concerns due to the close proximity of single-story, single-family residences located to the northwest side of the property. The applicant originally proposed three-story buildings throughout the development. Based on direction from staff and community input, the applicant reduced three of the buildings (Buildings 3-5) to a maximum of two stories for the units adjacent to the single-family properties (6 units total). The applicant also incorporated smaller windows where possible along the elevations facing the adjacent single-family residences. The applicant is proposing to install landscaping PACase Files1111312017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181StaffReport.doc PP No. 17-04, TTM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 - Page 7 and an 8-foot high concrete masonry block wall along the northwesterly property line to provide additional privacy. Landscaping, Open Space and Amenities The project incorporates planting areas throughout the project. Accent trees and street trees will be planted along West Cameron Avenue, the private street, and private alleys. A landscape barrier will be installed along the northwesterly property line to enhance privacy adjacent to single-family residences. Each courtyard will also feature a grass area and additional landscaping. A common area with an informal dog area, tot lot, and seating is located to the rear of the lot. The applicant has also agreed to install a pedestrian gate in the future if the Walnut Creek Wash is opened to the public for recreational purposes. A landscape plan prepared by a licensed landscape architect will be required as a condition of approval. The DTPC requires that a minimum of 100 square feet of private recreation-leisure space be provided for each unit. In addition, the code requires that the recreation- leisure space have a minimum dimension of 8 feet by 8 feet. The units feature a combination of stoops, patios, and balconies that total between 113 square feet and 286 square feet per unit (Attachment No. 4). All units provide over 100 cumulative square feet of recreation-leisure space and provide minimum 8-foot by 8-foot areas. Parking and Circulation A total of 129 parking spaces will be provided — each unit will have a two-car garage and there will be 17 guest parking spaces. The DTPC requires two (2) parking spaces per unit for residential projects. The code allows the parking spaces to be enclosed, covered, or open. No guest parking is required. Based on the requirements of the Municipal Code, the project is required to provide a minimum of 112 parking spaces. The project as proposed meets the parking requirements of the DTPC. A Condition of Approval included in the tentative tract map resolution requires that the CC&Rs state that the parking or storage of recreational vehicles [RVs, trailers, boats, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), etc.] is prohibited. Construction Construction would take approximately 35 months to complete, and would consist of five approximately seven-month long phases: Demolition and Land Development, Model Phase, Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3. The existing one-story building and paved parking areas would be demolished and all landscaping would be removed. Site grading and paving would take place after demolition and clearing. Grading would require a net export of 435 cubic yards, with a goal of balancing out the site as Z:\Case Files\PPI2017\17-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)IPC 5.22.181Staff Report doe PP No. 17-04, TTM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 - Page 8 much as possible. Construction would utilize typical equipment used for commercial or residential developments, including 1-2 loaders, 1-2 scrapers, 1 excavator, and 2 water trucks. Tentative Tract Map The tentative tract map would consolidate two (2) contiguous parcels. The tract map would allow a total of 56 townhome units. Therefore, one parcel will be created with air space rights. The project will be managed by a Homeowner's Association (HOA) that will be responsible for maintaining the entire project, except for the interior of the units. Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) will be created to regulate the HOA. The HOA will maintain all streets, curbs, and gutters, utilities, perimeter walls, the West Cameron street frontage, building exteriors, the common open space area, EVA access gate, all public landscaping, sidewalks, site walls, entrance monument, and exterior lighting. The proposed project density will be 19.8 units per acre. The site's General Plan designation of "Neighborhood Medium" allows a maximum density of 20 units per acre. Tree Removal A total of 30 mature trees will be removed from the site during construction. Six of these trees are defined as "significant trees" in Section 26-289 of the WCMC. Four of these trees are lemon-scented gum trees (eucalyptus citriodora), located within the front setback with a caliper exceeding one foot. Two of the trees are California sycamore trees (platanus racetnosa), with a caliper exceeding six inches. The sycamore trees are located on the south side property line. The sycamore trees would conflict with the future driveway. Relocation of the trees is not recommended due to the low chances of survival of the trees. The applicant will be planting trees to replace those removed as part of the construction process. The six trees removed as requested in Tree Removal Permit No. 18-07 shall be replaced in a 2:1 ratio with two 36-inch box trees for each tree removed. A landscape plan is required as a condition of approval. Community Outreach The applicant held a community meeting on February 8, 2018, at the West Covina Community Room (Attachment No. 5). Notices of the meeting were mailed to 63 property owners and occupants within 300 feet of the property. The meeting was attended by many of the neighbors along Sherway Street and Sawyer Avenue, including the homeowners of the properties immediately adjacent to the proposed project. The concerns discussed generally included privacy impacts. The applicant walked Sherway Street and Sawyer Avenue and spoke with several homeowners regarding any potential concerns. The applicant also held at least three ZACase FilesT1312017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181Staff Report.doc PP No. 17-04, TTM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 - Page 9 meetings with the three immediate neighbors on Sherway Street and Sawyer Avenue. The applicant also reached out to Plaza West Covina, the Greater West Covina Business Association, the Mount Baldy chapter of the Building Industry Association, and Foothill Transit, and provided letters of support from some of these organizations as well as the immediate neighbors (Attachment No. 6). Following the February 8, 2018, meeting, the applicant redesigned the project to reduce six units to two-stories when adjacent to the single-family residences. The applicant also agreed to install an 8-foot high concrete block wall along the northwesterly property line. V.

Each entry door will be painted in a bright color to provide contrast, and will feature a metal awning. The combination of materials and architectural variation helps reduce the scale and massing of the proposed structures. The proposal was reviewed twice by a consulting architectural firm for conformance to the design standards of the Downtown Plan and Code. The applicant worked with staff and followed the recommendations of the design review to provide a quality design with interesting elements consistent with the DTPC. The project site is laid out well, allowing for the maximum number of units while providing adequate open space, and private amenities. The buildings are generally consistent with the "Rowhouse" building type described in the DTPC. Tentative Tract Map a. That the proposed map is consistent with the general plan and any applicable adopted specific plans. The proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 77133 is consistent with the City of West Covina General Plan. The proposed 56-unit development will be constructed to meet the development standards of the zone and the California Building Code standards. The project proposes a density of 19.8 units per acre, and therefore complies with the allowed density of 20 units per acre. The project meets all development standards of the existing Downtown Plan. The project site is not located within a Specific Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Policies and Actions: P2.1 Maintain and enhance the City's current tax base. P2.6 Create a diversity of housing options. nease FilesTP12017 117-04 1530 W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181Staff Report.doe PP No. 17-04, TIM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22,2018 - Page 13 P3.3 New growth will complete, enhance, and reinforce the form and character of the unique West Covina neighborhoods, districts, and corridors. P3.4 Direct new growth to the downtown area and corridors Adapt economically underused and blighted buildings, consistent with the character of surrounding districts and neighborhoods, to support new uses that can be more successful. Provide opportunities for healthy living, commerce, employment, recreation, education, culture, entertainment civic engagement, and socializing. Housing Element Goals: Goal 1 Maintain and enhance the quality of existing housing and residential neighborhoods in West Covina. Goal 2 Provide a variety of housing types to accommodate all economic segments of the City. Goal 5 Identify adequate sites to achieve housing variety. b. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan and applicable adopted specific plans. The tentative tract map provides for a development that is compatible with the "Neighborhood Medium" land use designation for the subject site in the General Plan, and the provisions for design and improvements comply with the implementation policies and objectives of the General Plan. c. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density. The proposed project is a residential infill project within an urbanized area. The site is 2.82 acres and located within the "Neighborhood Medium" General Plan land use designation that allows up to 20 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing a density of 19.8 units per acre. The project consists of five buildings that will be a mix of two-and-three-stories. Building 1 (Building Type "A") fronting West Cameron Avenue will contain 7 units. Buildings 2-4 (Building Type "C") will feature 14 units each. Building 5 (Building Type "B") is located towards the back of the lot and will contain 7 units. d. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed. The project is a residential infill development within an urbanized area where the infrastructure to support the project already exists. The site will ZACase FilesTP12017117-04 1530 W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)IPC 5,22.18IStaffReport.doc PP No. 17-04, 'JIM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018- Page 14 be developed in accordance with the grading and construction requirements of the West Covina Municipal Code and the City Engineer. e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife or their habitat. The project is a residential infill development within an urbanized area where the infrastructure to support the project already exists. Most of the wildlife present on site are common within developed areas and would be expected to leave the area during active construction, then likely return. A few individual animals such as gophers and common species of lizards may be lost, but they are very common in the region and the loss of the small number expected to occur on site would not substantially affect the local or regional populations of those species. An analysis of the site pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15183 found that no significant impacts would result to the environment, and no fish, wildlife, or habitats would be significantly injured. f That neither the design of the subdivision nor the type of improvements are likely to cause serious public health concerns. The proposed project will have access to a public sanitary sewer system for the removal and disposal of wastewater, and to other necessary utility services. The site will be developed in accordance with the standards of the Public Works Department, the Municipal Code, the California Building Code and other applicable requirements. The project was reviewed for potential negative health impacts, including air quality, noise, shadow, and traffic. No significant impacts were found. g. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will either (1) not conflict with recorded or adjudged easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision; or (ii) alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed as part of the Tentative Tract Map will not conflict with easements. No easements of record or easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction for public access across the site have been disclosed and the City does not otherwise have any constructive or actual knowledge of any such easements. VII. ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION The project is exempt from additional environmental review under Section 15183 (Projects Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning), pursuant to the ZACase Files1131312017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181Staff Report,doe PP No. 17-04, ITM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 Page 15 requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA), because the project is consistent with the development density standards and other standards and policies established by the City of West Covina General Plan (PlanWC) and the Downtown Plan and Code. The City certified an Environmental Impact Report (GPU EIR) for both PlanWC and the Downtown Plan and Code in December 2016. The Program EIR includes mitigation measures to address foreseeable environmental impacts. Therefore, if a project complies with mitigation measures listed in the General Plan Update EIR, it does not require further review. An exemption checklist pursuant to Section 15183 was prepared by Rincon Consultant for the project. The checklist is included as Attachment No. 6. No mitigation measures are required. Traffic Kunzman Associates, Inc. prepared a traffic analysis for the project, dated April 27, 2018, to assess traffic impacts. The traffic analysis evaluated potential project- related traffic impacts at six key intersections in the vicinity of the project site: • Sunset Avenue and West Covina Parkway • Sunset Avenue and Cameron Avenue • Cameron Avenue and Orange Avenue • Cameron Avenue and Garvey Avenue North • Cameron Avenue and Pacific Avenue • West Covina Parkway and Toluca Avenue • West Covina Parkway and Garvey Avenue South/ 10-Freeway West- bound On-Ramp The proposed project is expected to generate a total of 410 daily trips, of which approximately 26 trips would occur during the morning peak and approximately 31 trips would occur during the PM peak hour. The previous use, a one-story medical office building, generated 464 daily trips, including 37 trips during the morning peak hour and 46 trips during the evening peak hour. The proposed project is forecast to generate approximately 56 fewer daily trips (11 fewer trips during the morning peak hour and 15 fewer trips during the evening peak hour). Because the project would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, it is anticipated that many project-generated trips would occur outside of peak traffic periods. The traffic impact analysis determined that the addition of project-related trips to existing traffic levels would have no impact on study intersections, and that project traffic would fall below significant impact thresholds. The project would therefore not result in an adverse impact that was not previously identified in the GPU E1R. ZACase Files\PP12017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)IPC 5.22.181Staff Report.doe PP No. 17-04, TTM No. 77133, TRP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 - Page 16 In Los Angeles County, if a project adds less than 50 peak hour trips to a Congestion Management Program (CMP) monitored intersection, then additional analysis of project impacts is not required. As the project adds less than 50 peak hour trips, it would not conflict with the CMP program. Therefore, the proposed project would have no significant impacts related to circulation and congestion, and the project would not result in an adverse impact that was not previously identified in the GPU ER. The traffic analysis did conclude that a signal is currently warranted at the intersection of Cameron Avenue and Toluca Avenue. However, since the proposed project will result in 56 fewer trips than the current conditions, the need for a traffic signal will not be exacerbated, and is not caused by the proposed project. The purpose of the environmental study is to determine the project's effect on the environment. Therefore, no mitigation measure is required. Air Quality According to the Air Quality Study prepared by Rincon, the construction and operation emissions are below significant regional thresholds. The cumulative short-term, construction-related emissions and long-term, operational emissions from the project will not contribute considerably to any potential cumulative air quality impact because short-term project and operational emissions will not exceed any SCAQMD daily threshold. The project will be required to comply with existing regulations, including SCAQMD Rule 1113, which limits VOC content of architectural coatings, SCAQMD Rule 403, which requires watering of the project site to limit fugitive dust emissions, and Cal Green Building Standards, which require a minimum 65 percent solid waste diversion. Noise Rincon evaluated the noise and vibration impacts for the proposed site for both construction and operation. Construction would comply with the City's noise ordinance and would take place between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Therefore, construction noise would not increase noise levels during the nighttime and impacts would be less than significant. The GPU E1R acknowledges the potential for temporary construction noise impacts, but concludes that such impacts resulting from development under the GPU and Downtown Plan would be less than significant with adherence to policies in the GPU and the City's Noise Ordinance. Therefore, although construction noise levels resulting from the project may periodically exceed the City's allowable exterior noise levels, these impacts would be less than significant due to the temporary and daytime nature of construction-related noise, and the project would not result in an adverse impact that was not previously identified in the GPU EIR. ZACase Files\PP12017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181Staff Report.doe PP No. 17-04, TTM No. 77133, TRIP 18-07 1530 West Cameron Avenue May 22, 2018 Page 17 Operational noise and vibration would not result in any significant impacts. The applicant has agreed to install 10-foot high temporary sound attenuation walls along the northwesterly property line (adjacent to single-family residences) as a courtesy, in order to cut down on impacts from construction noise. This has been included as a condition of approval. Aesthetics (Shade and Shadow Analysis) Because the proposed residential buildings are two to three stories in height, they may cast shadows on immediately surrounding areas. Shadow-sensitive uses include nurseries, outdoor-oriented retail uses (e.g., certain restaurants), or routinely useable outdoor spaces associated with recreational, institutional, or residential land uses. The single-family residences to the northwest of the project site would be considered sensitive uses. According to shade and shadow analysis submitted by Rincon, shadows cast by the project would be longest during the winter months. The analysis found the project would shade neighboring uses for a maximum of three hours between 9am and noon during the winter months. Therefore, impacts would be less than significant and the project would not result in an adverse impact that was not previously identified in the GPU EIR. Biological Resources (Trees) The project site and vicinity are located in an urban area, as described in the GPU ER. There is no vegetation on or adjacent to the site other than ornamental trees and shrubs, and no wetlands or riparian or other habitat onsite or nearby. As further described in impact discussion 4.e below, there are six trees on the project site that are defined as "significant trees" under Section 26, Article VI, Division 9, Preservation, Protection and Removal of Trees of the West Covina Municipal Code due to their location in the required front yard, their size, and/or their species. However, these trees (four lemon-scented gum trees and two California sycamores) are not identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special-status species in regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The project would not have a substantial adverse effect, either directly or through habitat modifications, on any species identified as a candidate, sensitive, or special- status species in local or regional plans, policies, or regulations, or by the California Department of Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and would therefore not result in an adverse impact that was not previously identified in the GPU EIR.

Native American Tribes that previously asked the City to be notified about projects of interest were given notices to request consultation pertaining to the project if desired. The City initiated AB 52 consultation on February 22, 2018. The City sent notices to the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation and the Soboba Band of Luise& Indians. On February 27, 2018 the City received a request for consultation from the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians Kizh Nation. Consultation between the City and the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation occurred on April 25, 2018 during which time the Tribe provided a letter to the City outlining archaeological and Tribal Cultural resources mitigation measures including the request for the project to retain a Native American Monitor approved by the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation. Measures for unanticipated discovery of Tribal Cultural, archaeological resources, and the unanticipated discovery of human remains and associated funerary objects were also outlined. Additionally, resource assessment protocol and treatment measures were included in the measures provided by the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians Kizh- Nation. Rincon reached out to the six Native American contacts provided by the NAHC (see Section 5, Cultural Resources). The results of this consultation indicated that the project site is of interest to and within the Traditional Use Area of the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians-Kizh Nation, the Gabrieleno/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians, and the Gabrieleno Tongva Indians of California Tribal Council, two of which (the Gabrieleno Band of Mission Indians- Kizh Nation and the Gabrieleno/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians) requested Tribal monitoring during project construction. An additional contact for the Gabrielino/Tongva San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians Tribal Council requested notification if any cultural resources associated with the Gabrielino are encountered as a result of the project, indicated that the council will act as an on- going consultant during construction, and requested that he be notified if any human remains are found. These measures have been included as conditions of approval. Other Areas of Study Pursuant to CEQA guidelines for Section 15813, Rincon also reviewed the project for potential impacts in the areas of agriculture and forestry resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral resources, population and housing, public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems. No significant impacts were found in any of these areas.

CONCLUSION The site is also in compliance with the General Plan designation and zoning density. The applicant is proposing a total of 56 townhome units. The site fronts West Cameron Avenue to the north and Walnut Creek Parkway to the south. The subject property is located within the Downtown Plan and is the first project to be reviewed with the Downtown Plan and Code. The project will replace a 13,329-square foot single-story office building, which will be demolished as part of the development. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding residential and commercial properties in the area and will result in additional housing opportunities. The proposed project fulfill the goals of the Downtown Plan in providing higher- density, urban development to support the continued development of an urban and walkable Downtown for West Covina. IX.

Planning Commission Resolution No. Tentative Tract Map No. 77133 May 22, 2018 - Page 2 2. The applicant is requesting approval of a tentative tract map to develop the site with 56 single-family attached townhomes. 3. Appropriate findings for approval of a tentative tract map are as follows: a. That the proposed map is consistent with the general plan and any applicable adopted specific plans. b. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the general plan and applicable adopted specific plans. c. That the site is physically suitable for the type of development. d. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development. e. That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish, wildlife or their habitat. f.

That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will either (i) not conflict with recorded or adjudged easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision; or (ii) alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. 4. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970, Section 15183, the project is exempt from additional environmental review because the project is consistent with the development density standards and other standards and policies established by the City of West Covina General Plan (PlanWC) and the Downtown Plan and Code. The City certified an EIR for both PlanWC and the Downtown Plan and Code in December 2016. NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of West Covina does resolve as follows: 1. On the basis of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, for Tentative Tract Map No. 77133, the Planning Commission makes the following findings: ZACase Files\PP12017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.181TM Reso.doc Planning Commission Resolution No. Tentative Tract Map No. 77133 May 22, 2018 Page 3 a. The proposed Tentative Tract Map No. 77133 is consistent with the City of West Covina General Plan. The proposed 56-unit development will be constructed to meet the development standards of the zone and the California Building Code standards. The project proposes a density of 19.8 units per acre, and therefore complies with the allowed density of 20 units per acre. The project meets all development standards of the existing Downtown Plan. The project site is not located within a Specific Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan Policies and Actions: P2.1 Maintain and enhance the City's current tax base. P2.6 Create a diversity of housing options. P3.3 New growth will complete, enhance, and reinforce the form and character of the unique West Covina neighborhoods, districts, and corridors. P3.4 Direct new growth to the downtown area and corridors Adapt economically underused and blighted buildings, consistent with the character of surrounding districts and neighborhoods, to support new uses that can be more successful. Provide opportunities for healthy living, commerce, employment, recreation, education, culture, entertainment civic engagement, and socializing. Housing Element Goals: Goal I Maintain and enhance the quality of existing housing and residential neighborhoods in West Covina. Goal 2 Provide a variety of housing types to accommodate all economic segments of the City. Goal 5 Identify adequate sites to achieve housing variety. b. The tentative tract map provides for a development that is compatible with the "Neighborhood Medium" land use designation for the subject site in the General Plan, and the provisions for design and improvements comply with the implementation policies and objectives of the General Plan. c. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density. The proposed project is a residential infill project within an urbanized area. The site is 2.82 acres and located within the "Neighborhood Medium" General Plan land use designation that allows up to 20 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing a density of 19.8 units per acre. The project consists of five buildings that will be a mix of two-and-three- ZACase Filea1312017117-04 1530W Cameron Avenue (56 Units)1PC 5.22.18\T1'M Reso.doe Planning Commission Resolution No. Tentative Tract Map No. 77133 May 22, 2018 - Page 4 stories. Building 1 (Building Type "A") fronting West Cameron Avenue will contain 7 units. Buildings 2-4 (Building Type "C") will feature 14 units each. Building 5 (Building Type "B") is located towards the back of the lot and will contain 7 units. d. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density of development proposed. The project is a residential infill development within an urbanized area where the infrastructure to support the project already exists. The site will be developed in accordance with the grading and construction requirements of the West Covina Municipal Code and the City Engineer. e. The project is a residential infill development within an urbanized area where the infrastructure to support the project already exists. Most of the wildlife present on site are common within developed areas and would be expected to leave the area during active construction, then likely return. A few individual animals such as gophers and common species of lizards may be lost, but they are very common in the region and the loss of the small number expected to occur on site would not substantially affect the local or regional populations of those species. An analysis of the site pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15183 found that no significant impacts would result to the environment, and no fish, wildlife, or habitats would be significantly injured. f. The proposed project will have access to a public sanitary sewer system for the removal and disposal of wastewater, and to other necessary utility services. The site will be developed in accordance with the standards of the Public Works Department, the Municipal Code, the California Building Code and other applicable requirements. The project was reviewed for potential negative health impacts, including air quality, noise, shadow, and traffic. No significant impacts were found. g. The subdivision design and type of improvements proposed as part of the Tentative Tract Map will not conflict with easements No easements of record or easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction for public access across the site have been disclosed and the City does not otherwise have any constructive or actual knowledge of any such easements. 2.

Cameron Avenue Precise Plan 17-04, TTM 77133 Previous Design Recommendations The following responses are made in regards to the applicant's resubmitted project in relation to the previous recommendations from our review dated April 26, 2017. 1. Continue the application of stoop frontage types for those units fronting onto the proposed Internal Street to continue the desired urban character of the Downtown area (Downtown Plan 69-6.2.C). • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal by continuing the stoop frontage types along Street A. 2. Relocate accessible parking spaces to a convenient, more central location of the project site. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. Given the location of the proposed play structure area, we feel the location of the accessible parking space is appropriate going forward. 3. Pursue integration of street furniture or other pedestrian amenities along West Cameron Avenue to enhance the pedestrian experience and to make the greater Downtown area more walkable (Downtown Plan 13-KC.3). • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal as directed by staff. Parkway landscaping with street trees in tree grates will help establish a more comfortable and walkable streetscape along West Cameron Avenue. 4. Provide ornamental landscaping, decorative walls, enhanced paving treatment, and/or other features to provide ease of identification and to ensure the primary project entry is aesthetically pleasing. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittat However, the applicant should clarify as to whether or not enhanced paving is proposed at the Street A Primary Entry drive as indicated on Site Plan Sheet A1.0, as no information is provided on other plan set sheets, such as the Conceptual Landscape Plan — Planting Sheet, that indicate enhanced paving is proposed. 5. Ensure the proposed 11' buffer setback along the western property line is consistent with Downtown Plan 51-4.2B requirements. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 6. Ensure landscape buffer continues along all portions of the property where adjacent to existing single-family residences. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 7. Clarify how the proposed Walnut Creek Wash Channel Trail connects with the proposed sidewalk along the eastern property line of the project. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. However, the applicant should clarify the 'Potential Future Tubular Steel Pedestrian Gate', indicated on the Conceptual Landscape Plan — Overall Sheet, with staff to ensure clarity in design intent. 8. Provide adequate lighting for safety as well as benches and/or other pedestrian amenities along the Walnut Creek Wash Channel Trail (Downtown Plan 15-PP.1). • The applicant should clarify with staff as to whether or not lighting, benches, and/or other pedestrian amenities are required along the portion of the project site bordering the Walnut Creek Wash as part of this project. 9. Give additional design consideration to the Limited Access and open space area located at the southeast corner of the project site — how this space is to be utilized, where walls/fencing begin and terminate, and how it could become a connecting element or benefit for both the proposed project as well as the existing single-family neighborhood (Downtown Plan-PP.1). • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal by providing greater clarity of proposed design intent as well as proposing a play structure and benches as part of the project. 10. Ensure all primary unit entries are in compliance with Downtown Plan 69-6.2 C.3.c going forward. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal, as shown on the provided Building Elevation Sheets. 11. Consider enhancing the usability of the stoop area around the primary unit entries to allow for the placement of seating, potted plants, and/or other home decor. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 12. Provide a Colors and Materials Board to allow for adequate staff review. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. However, the applicant should consider providing a separate, standalone plan set sheet with example imagery of all proposed materials and colors, rather than only a list as seen on the provided Building Elevations Sheets. 13. Consider revising colors proposed at the upper elevations to provide additional warmth to the buildings and a greater connection with the existing context of the project site. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 14. Confirm finish level of any proposed stoop frontage type above adjacent sidewalk or walkway as they currently feel small and understated (Downtown Plan 69-6.2 C.2). • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal by indicating that all stoop frontage types will be a minimum of 18 inches above the sidewalk along the West Cameron frontage. However, while it appears that the stoop frontages proposed along Street A are also 18 inches above the sidewalk, the applicant should ensure the finished level of all stoops is in fact a minimum of 18 inches above the adjacent sidewalk. 15. Ensure any proposed stoops meet the minimum and maximum width/depth dimensions as identified by Downtown Plan 69-6.2 C.2. • It appears that all proposed stoop frontage types meet the minimum and maximum width/depth dimensions identified in Downtown Plan 69-6.2 C.2. However, the applicant should provide dimensional callouts on the provided unit floor plans with stoop frontage types to verify the minimum/maximum dimensional requirements. 16. Consider providing low height walls or gates along West Cameron Avenue to provide greater definition of public/private space for the project. Low wall for units '1 and 7 appropriately provide a clear delineation of public/private space along West Cameron Avenue, • The applicant has only provided low height walls aiding in the definition of public/private space for some of the units that are to face West Cameron Avenue. It is recommended that the applicant continue the use of low walls to provide a greater definition of the public/private space for all units facing West Cameron Avenue. Perspective Sheet A6.0 Low walls for units 2 through 6 lack a clear delineation between what is public/private space along West Cameron Avenue. 17. Ensure finish level height of windows allows for adequate privacy for rooms located at ground level (Downtown Plan 66-6.1-Stoop). • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 18. Identify frontage types for primary unit entries that take access along central greenways throughout the project site (Downtown Plan 66-6.1). Consider integrating other frontage types for those units fronting onto the central greenways to foster greater interaction between neighbors. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal by proposing patios for those units facing the central greenways. However, it appears that the applicant has continued the application of stoop frontage types for units 14, 15, 28, 29, 42, and 43 into the central greenway areas, which appear small and undersized in comparison to other stoop frontage types and the proposed patios. The applicant should expand in area the frontage type for units 14, 15, 28, 29, 42, and 43 to make them more usable to allow for the placement of seating, potted plants, and/or other home decor. Conceptual Landscape Plan - Planting Expand frontage type area for units 14, 15, 28, 29, 42, and 43 to make them more usable to allow for the placement of seating, potted plants, and/or other home decor. 19. Clarify whether or not fencing/walls are proposed along the eastern property line, adjacent to the existing office building, which could potentially hinder future pedestrian movement. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 20. Ensure any lighting proposed as part of the project is consistent with the chosen architectural style. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal. 21. Provide building elevations, including those along the garage drive aisles, to allow for adequate staff review. • The applicant has sufficiently addressed the previous comment within this resubmittal.

Typically, the CIP is considered with the budget every year. Capital improvements are those individual construction projects and purchase of land, equipment, and contract services that need to be addressed in the new fiscal year or future years. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65401, the CIP "shall be submitted to the county or city planning agency for review..., as to conformity with the adopted general plan..." The Planning Commission fulfills the role of "planning agency" for this purpose. Once the Planning Commission finds the CIP consistent with the General Plan, the proposed CIP will be presented to the City Council for adoption and appropriate funding for the ensuing year CIP projects. New Projects for Fiscal Year 2018-2019 • Cortez Senior Center Main Facility & North Wing Improvements • Restroom Renovation at Senior Center • Miscellaneous Building Repairs • Repair Jail Doors & Paint Jail • Council Chambers Technology Upgrades • Energy Efficiency for City Buildings • Senior Center Roof Replacement • Historic Resources Study Update • Cortez Senior Center Parking Lot & Cortez Park Parking Lot — Citrus Entrance • Cortez Park Restroom Improvements • Tree Trimming — Maintenance District 1 • Landscape/Lighting/Concrete Improvements - Maintenance District 1 • Tree Trimming — Maintenance District 2 • Landscape/Lighting/Concrete Improvements - Maintenance District 2 • Tree Trimming — Maintenance District 4 • Landscape/Lighting/Concrete Improvements - Maintenance District 4 • Tree Trimming — Maintenance District 6 • Landscape/Lighting/Concrete Improvements - Maintenance District 6 • Tree Trimming — Maintenance District 7 • Landscape/Lighting/Concrete Improvements - Maintenance District 7 • Installation of Street Lights — Citywide Maintenance District FY 2018-2019 ClP — Conformance to General Plan May 22, 2018 • Orangewood Park/Soccer Complex - Security Fence & Gate • Annual Concrete/Sidewalk/Stamped Concrete/Curb & Gutter Replacement Program • Median Drought Tolerant Landscaping — Annual Program • Bus Stop Enhancements — Annual Program • Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements • Residential Street Rehabilitation — Annual Program • Major Street Rehabilitation — Annual Program • Sidewalk Improvements at Merced Elementary School • Citywide Schools Crosswalk Improvements • Merced/Sunset Avenues — Left Turn • Glendora/Merced Avenues — Left Turn • Traffic Signal at Cameron/Citrus Avenue • Battery Replacement for Traffic Signal Battery Back-up Systems • Flashing Beacons • Update Traffic Signal Controllers • Installation of Traffic Control Devices • Traffic Calming Improvements — Vine Avenue • Traffic Signal at Cameron Ave/Barranca Street • Catch Basin Trash Capture Device Installation Program • Sewer Main Replacement — Annual Program • Replacement/Repair of Pump Station Facilities at Freeway Undercrossings • Storm Drain Repair at Chenywood St & Walnut Creek Pkwy ANALYSIS: Overall, the proposed projects included in the CIP are consistent with the intent of the existing General Plan of supporting growth and development, providing municipal services and improving/maintaining infrastructure and quality of life and safety. The CIP fulfills the following goals of the General Plan: Our Prosperous Community Action 2.3a - Invest in infrastructure and improve the public realm. Our Accessible Community Action 4.2b - Review capital improvement projects to ensure that needs of non-motorized travelers are considered in planning, programming, design, reconstruction, retrofit, maintenance, construction, operations, and project development. Our Resilient Community Action 8.8a - Provide adequate lighting; maintaining landscaping to maximize visibility; remove graffiti as soon as possible; remove trash, debris, weeds, etc. from public areas with ongoing maintenance of those public areas; and conduct regular police patrols and provide public safety information. Action 8.8b Continue to use the Capital Improvements Program to plan for the identification of available resources for park facility repair, upgrades, and Pre'cf g/,. Monica Heredia Ch. Public WorKs reit— a. a ' Consun , P.E. irector/ ty Engineer Reviewed/Approv _ yr! 'Anderson Planning Director, AICP FY 2018-2019 CIP — Conformance to General Plan May 22,2018 replacements through the budget process. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Section 21000, et seq. of the California Public Resources Code), requires that the potential impacts of projects that will have a physical impact on the environment be analyzed prior to their construction. State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15378 exempts projects that have no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The Planning Commission's action involves determining the consistency of the Fiscal Year 2017-2018 Capital Improvement Program with the City's General Plan. It does not directly authorize the construction of the individual projects enumerated in the listing. Therefore, the determination of consistency will not have a direct effect on the environment. As such, the potential action qualifies for this exemption and no further environmental review is required. CONCLUSION: Environmental documentation and/or clearance for most projects have been completed. Environmental documentation for the other projects will be prepared or initiated prior to start of construction. The resolution attachment lists all the projects in the CIP for the next year and a summary of the status of their environmental clearance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission find the Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget of the draft Five-Year CIP, as outlined in the attached pages in conformance with the General Plan.
