Ordinance No. • •
Page 2
4. The project includes a tentative parcel snap to divide the existing 5.1-acre
property into three separate parcels.
5. The applicant is requesting approval of a tentative tract map to subdivide the site
into 24 parcels. Nineteen lots would be developed with dwelling units and the
remaining five lots would provide for a private street and common open space. The
project consists of a plan to approve the design and allow the construction of a
four-story medical office building with 39 condominium units and a surface
parking lot with 218 parking spaces on an approximately 2.69-acre development
site. In addition, the project includes the expansion of the parking lot on the south
side of the library to 129 parking spaces.
6. Findings necessary for approval of a zone change are as follows:
a. There are changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective
to warrant other or additional zoning.
b. The proposed change of zone will not adversely affect adjoining property
as to value or precedent and will not be detrimental to the area.
C. A change of zone will be in the interest or furtherance of the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
d. The approval of such a change of zone will not adversely affect the
comprehensive General Plan so adopted by the City.
e. The approval of such a zone change is consistent with the General Plan or
applicable specific plans.
7. Pursuant to the requirements of the California Enviromnental Quality Act
(CEQA) of 1970, a MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT has been prepared indicating that although the
project could have a significant effect on the environment, there will not be a
significant effect due to mitigating measures.
'WHEREAS, based on the evidence, both oral and documentary, the City Council finds as
follows:
a. The proposed zone change will facilitate the development of a small -lot single-
family project that allows for a density of 8.2 units per acre within Specific Plan
25. Since the last General Plan update in 1985, the housing market has changed
to provide different types of housing to accommodate the population growth as
well as to provide diverse housing that meets the population needs. Since most
cities within the San Gabriel Valley are built out, most new residential projects
are infill development in underutilized sites or in a mixed -use setting. Allowing
different type of housing and flexibility of development standards, Cities can
continue to provide new housing to accommodate the growing population and
meet their fair share of regional housing. Therefore, the City did not envision
allowing parcels smaller than 6,000 square feet in area. As such, there are
changed conditions since the existing zoning became effective to warrant changes
in relaxing the more traditional development standards established in 1980s when
the.City was rapidly developing.
b. An environmental study, in compliance with CEQA, has been prepared
determining that mitigation measures are required. The mitigation measures serve
to prevent adverse impact on the future project to be constructed on the site,
surrounding land uses, and service systems. In addition, the proposed zone
change will pot adversely affect adjoining property value and will not be
detrimental since the area is improving by redeveloping an underutilized site that
contains vacant buildings.
Ordinance No. •
Page 3
C. The City of West Covina's Regional Housing Needs allocation (RHNA) for the
2008-2014 planning period had been determined by SCAG to be 2,462 units
including 631 units for very -low income households, 388 units for low income
households, 417 units for moderate -low income households and 1,026 units for
above moderate households. In recent years, the City has built higher density
units primarily for senior citizens only. Although the proposed units are not
considered affordable units as units being subsidized by any public funding
mechanism, the 19 single family, residential units would be potentially more
affordable than the traditional units on larger parcels. In addition, the project
provides an additional housing type that is a cluster design and provides the
privacy and/or security of being a gated community.
The Housing Element of the General Plan calls for "exploring opportunities for
new residential development within those areas of the City occupied by vacant or
underutilized, obsolete commercial and industrial uses." The Specific Plan would
take advantage of redeveloping a site that is currently occupied by an
underutilized site and vacant buildings and take advantage of the property's
proximity to mass transit and adjacent commercial/retail uses within walking
distance. As such, the change of zone will be in the interest of the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
d. The proposed zone change requires a General Plan amendment. The General Plan
land use designation would be amended to change the land use designation for the
subject site from "Low Medium Residential" to "Medium Residential." The
General Plan establishes densities for the different residential land use
designations. The General Plan Amendment would allow the subject site to be
developed at a density of 8.2 units per acres, which is consistent with the density
allowed in the General Plan Use Designation for "Medium Residential." As such,
the proposed zone change will not adversely affect the comprehensive general
plan of the City.
e. The approval of such zone change is consistent with the proposed General Plan
amendment land use designation of "Medium Residential". The proposed land
use designation allows for a density range of 8 to 15 units per acres. The
proposed project is .consistent with the development standards set forth in the
Specific Plan No. 25 (Waverly Specific Plan),
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina, California, does
resolve as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented, and the findings set forth, the above
Zone Change No. 12-01 is hereby found to be consistent with the City's General Plan and
the land uses permitted within said zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: The Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that it approve Zone Change No. 12-01, adopting the specific plan text as set
forth in Exhibit A and changing the zoning designation for the subject property as set
forth on Exhibit B and amending the Zoning Map of the City of West Covina.
SECTION NO. 3: The Secretary is instructed to forward a copy of this Resolution to
the City Council for its attention in the manner prescribed bylaw.
SECTION NO. 4: The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this Resolution.

resolutions:
1) A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA, CERTIFYING THE MITIGATED
NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
FOR GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 12-01, ZONE CHANGE
NO. 12-01, TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP NO. 71942 . AND

The Planning Commission and staff further recommends that the City Council introduce the
following ordinance:
3) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
WEST COVINA, CALIFORNIA APPROVING ZONE CHANGE NO.
12-01
DISCUSSION:
On December 11, 2012, the Planning Commission approved a tentative parcel map to subdivide
one parcel into three parcels and a tentative tract map to further subdivide one parcel into 24 lots
to be developed with 19 single-family units. The Planning Commission also recommended
approval of a General Plan amendment, zone change and a Mitigated Negative Declaration of
Environmental Impact Report: For more detailed information, .please refer to the Planning
Commission staff report (Attachment No. 4).
The project requires a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) per the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). To assist in the preparation of the MND, two technical studies were
prepared including an Air Quality Study and a Traffic Report. The project related impacts would
be less than significant with mitigations incorporated. The required mitigation measures are
provided in Attachment No. 1.
General Plan Amendment
The applicant is requesting the approval of a General Plan amendment to change the existing
land use designation from "Low Medium Residential" to "Medium Residential." The proposed

designation allows for a higher residential density and would allow for the development to be
built at 8.2 units per acre instead of a maximum of 8 units per acre.
Surrounding General Plan land use designations include "Service and Neighborhood
Commercial" and "Low Medium Residential". The proposed designation change would provide
a transition from the single-family residential development to the east and south and the
commercial development to the west and north. Based on the characteristics of the surrounding
land uses and the intensity of the proposed development, the project is consistent with the goals
contained in the General Plan..
Zone Change
The proposal also includes a zone change to change the designation from "Single -Family
Residential" (R-1) to "Specific Plan No. 25" (Waverly Specific Plan). A specific plan allows
communities to focus on the unique characteristics of an area by customizing the planning
process and land use regulations. A specific plan identifies policies and actions that support and
facilitate desired development within the project area and must be consistent with the adopted
General Plan of the jurisdiction. The proposed Specific Plan is included in Attaclunent No. 3.
Proposed Development
The project is located between the Walnut Creek Wash and Service Avenue on Valinda Avenue.
The Immanuel First Lutheran Church currently occupies a 5.1-acre property. The Tentative
Parcel Map (No. 71942) would divide the property into three parcels. Parcel No. 1 will consist
of 2.38 acres, Parcel No. 2 of 2.31 acres, and Parcel No. 3 of 0.41 acres. Parcel No. 1 would
remain occupied by the existing Immanuel First Lutheran Church. Parcel No. 2, currently
developed with classrooms, concrete pads, playground equipment and open space, would be
developed with the proposed residential project. Parcel No..3 would continue to serve as a
parking lot for the East Valley Community Health Center.
The tentative tract map will further subdivide Parcel No. 2 into 24 lots. Nineteen lots would be
developed with single; family dwelling units. The remaining lots would accommodate a private
street and other common areas such as a recreational area. The proposed project consists of 19
two-story dwelling units with attached two -car garages. All units are designed to provide a total
of four parking spaces. A total of 14. on -street parking spaces within the development will serve
as guest parking. The project proposes two types of architectural design — Spanish and French.
The proposal also includes two, floor plans: Plan 1 that would provide a total of 2,148 square feet
and Plan 2 will offer a total of 2,429 square feet (both include attached two -car garages). The lot
sizes will range from 3,112 to 5,035 square feet. The applicant is proposing 3-foot 3-inch side
yard setback with the side yard being granted through an easement to one of the adjacent
properties. The location of the walls will give the impression that there is a zero lot line between.
properties. The project will be gated and access to the project will be from Valinda Avenue. A
decorative six-foot tall perimeter wall will be constructed along Valinda Avenue. The existing
landscaped parkway along Valinda Avenue will be preserved and additional trees will be planted
where appropriate.
The existing single-family houses to the east of the project on Gaybar Avenue are single -story
houses. In order to reduce privacy impacts to the existing houses the applicant has included
design elements adjacent to the .Gaybar Avenue houses that include, high windows (clerestory)
on the rear elevation of the closest units, prohibiting balconies on the closest units and providing
a row of trees.
Since the development is a condominium project, a Homeowner's Association (HOA) will be
formed and CC&R's (Covenants, Codes, and Restrictions) will be created to regulate the HOA.
The HOA would be responsible for maintaining all common areas, including private street, gated
entrance, open space, and like items.

b. An environmental study, in compliance with CEQA, has been prepared
determining that mitigation measures are required. The mitigation measures serve
to prevent adverse impact on the future project to be constructed on the site,
surrounding land uses, and service systems. In addition, the proposed zone
change will not adversely affect adjoining property value and will not be
detrimental since the area is improving by redeveloping an underutilized site that
contains vacant buildings.
C. The City of West _Covina's Regional Housing Needs allocation (RHNA) for the
2008-2014 planning period had been detennined by SCAG to be 2,462 units
including 631 units for very -low income households, 388 units for low income
households, 417 units for moderate -low income households and 1,026 units for
above moderate households. In recent years, the City has built higher density
units primarily for senior citizens only. Although the proposed units are not
considered affordable units as units being subsidized by any public funding
mechanism, the 19 single family residential units would be potentially more
affordable than the traditional units on larger parcels. In addition, the project
provides an additional housing type that is a cluster design and provides the
privacy and/or security of being a gated community.
The Housing Element of the General Plan calls for "exploring opportunities for
new residential development within those areas of the; City occupied by vacant or
underutilized, obsolete commercial and industrial uses." The Specific Plan would
take advantage of redeveloping a site that is currently occupied by an
imderutilized site and vacant buildings and take advantage of the property's
proximity to mass transit and adjacent commercial/retail uses within walking
distance. As such, the change of zone will be in the interest of the public health,
safety, and general welfare.
d. The proposed zone change requires a General Plan amendment. The General Plan
land use designation would be amended to change the land use designation for the
subject site from "Low Medium Residential' to "Medium Residential." The
General Plan establishes densities for the different residential land- use
designations. The General Plan Amendment would allow the subject site to be
developed at a density of 8.2 units per acres, which is consistent with the density
allowed in the General Plan Use Designation for "Medium Residential." As such,
the proposed zone change will not adversely affect the comprehensive general
plan of the City.
e. The approval of such zone change is consistent with the proposed General Plan
amendment land use designation of "Medium Residential". The proposed land
use designation allows for a density range of 8 to 15 units per acres. The
proposed project is consistent with the development standards set forth in the
Specific Plan No. 25 (Waverly Specific Plan).
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina, California, does
resolve as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: Based on the evidence presented, and the findings set forth, the above
Zone Change No. 12-01 is hereby found to be consistent with the City's General Plan and
the land uses permitted within said zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: The Planning Commission does hereby recommend to the City
Council that it approve Zone Change No. 12-01, adopting the specific plan text as set
forth in Exhibit A and changing the zoning designation for the subject property as set
forth on Exhibit B and amending the Zoning Map of the City of West Covina.
SECTION NO.3: The Secretary is instructed to forward a copy of this Resolution to
the City Council for its attention in the mariner prescribed by law.
