DISCUSSION:
The subject property is a -vacant 25,000-squ4re foot remnant parcel that ,was left over
from the construction of the San Bernardino (I-10) Freeway. The property is located on
the north side of the freeway and was originally zoned "Neighborhood Commercial" (N-
C). On October 14, 1975, the City Council approved Zone Change No. 493, which
designated a number of remnant freeway parcels as "Open Space."
The applicant, Abell-Helou, is now proposing to develop the property with an 8,850-
square foot, two-story commercial office building. Additionally, 43 parking spaces and
associated landscaping are proposed. The first floor is proposed to be leased as medical
office space, and the second floor is proposed to be used by, Abell-Helou as their
corporate offices.
Allowed uses in the "Open Space" (O-S) Zone include open space and parks. At the time
the property was designated as "O-S," it was thought that, CalTrans might landscape the
properties. That did not occur. The applicant is now proposing a zone change to
"Neighborhood Commercial" (N-C) to facilitate the development of the proposed office
building. A similar situation occurs on the northwest corner of Hollenbeck Street
Garvey Avenue South, where a parking facility for the Villa Tepeyac restaurant has been
developed. Because the property is located adjacent to the freeway, it is not a feasible
site for a park or natural area. Therefore, changing the zone to "Neighborhood
Commercial" as the adjacent lots are also zoned is appropriate and will allow the property
to be improved and ,put to economic use.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The development of the vacant site with a proposed office building will have a positive
economic impact in terms of the creation of local employment opportunities and increasing
the taxable assessed value of the property.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION:
On January 13, 2004, the Planning Commission voted 5-0 to approve precise Plan No.
03-04 for the design of the proposed office building and to recommend approval of Zone
Change No. 03-03. The Commission indicated that they felt that the construction of an
office building at this "orphaned" parcel would be a welcome addition to the City.

VII. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS
The project consists of an application to construct an 8,850-square foot, two-story
commercial building on a vacant 25,000-square foot site. Additionally, 43 parking spaces
and associated landscaping are proposed. The project site consists of a predominantly flat
pad with slopes along the western and northern property lines. The property is
approximately 13 feet higher than the public right-of-way along the northern property line
adjacent to Garvey Avenue and approximately 18 feet higher than the public right-of-way
along the western property line adjacent to Hollenbeck Avenue. The site is undeveloped
and graded. The project will involve site preparation activities, limited grading, and the
construction of the proposed building and associated infrastructure.

Site Design
The proposed building will be sited along in the northeasterly portion of the site adjacent to,
the curving,portion of Garvey Avenue. The remainder of the property will be developed
with 43 parking spaces and landscaping. The applicant is proposing to grade the lot to create
a relatively level pad to develop the parking area and office building. The slopes will
remain and be landscaped and maintained by the applicant. Access to the lot will be taken at
the southeastern portion of the property along Garvey Avenue. The applicant will be
required to install a driveway and provide for public right-of-way improvements to
sidewalks and install street trees along Hollenbeck and Garvey Avenues.
The proposed retaining wall along Garvey Avenue (between the street and the office
building) is proposed at 4 feet in height. A condition of approval has been included
requiring that retaining walls be composed of decorative materials. The finished floor of the
office building will be approximately 13 feet above the existing grade of Garvey Avenue
and 18 feet above the existing grade of Holl'enbeck Avenue. A total of 5,775 square feet of
area is dedicated to landscaping or a total of 26 percent of the property.
The Planning Commission has adopted "Parking Lot Design and Lighting Standards" that
establish guidelines for parking lot layouts. Staff reviews all parking lot designs for
compliance 'with these standards, with deviations being reviewed by the Planning
Commission. The proposed design is not in compliance with the standards, in relation to
dead-end driveways.
Generally, two entries into parking areas are required. In this case, due to the topography of
the lot, the sloping sides located on the north and the west of the property are above the
finished grade along both Hollenbeck Avenue to the west and Garvey Avenue to the north.
The only ingress and egress to the property is located at the lowest grade adjacent to Garvey
Avenue at the southeast corner of the lot. Secondarily, the area devoted to parking is not
sufficient to allow for circulation within the parking area or the construction of a turn-
around cul-de-sac.
In such cases, to avoid a dead-end driveway, the standards allow for a dedicated turn -around
space of 12 feet in width, painted with diagonal hatch marks. The Planning Commission
may approve a dead end driveway and turn -around if the Commission feels it will not cause
a traffic safety hazard. Staff believes that the deviation from the required standard is
acceptable because of the limited number of parking spaces and because the topography
makes designing for two driveways difficult: Since the site is proposed to be used strictly as
a commercial office building and not for retail uses, the single driveway and dead end
parking aisle is less likely to cause circulation problems.
The slope area "directly to the west of the property adjacent to Hollenbeck Avenue is
currently owned by the City. This area exists for the purpose of future street widening and
other public right-of-way uses. The City has determined that this area is of no functional use
and should be vacated to the property owners of the proposed project. A condition has been
added to vacate this property to the adjacent property owner and require that the owner
maintain the slope adjacent to Hollenbeck Avenue.
The trash area for the office building is located adjacent to the driveway and Garvey
Avenue and is to be designed to' City standards. A condition has been included requiring
a trellis cover as the trash enclosure is in a visible location.
Architecture
The two-story triangular office building will have a stucco exterior with three elevations.
The building features.a tower element on each of the three corners with rounded second
story windows. The tower elements are to be covered with "Cheyenne Limestone" stone
facade. The trim along the roofline and around all windows are to be painted "Meadow
Wood" green. The roof will be constructed of Red "Terra Cotta" tiles. The structure has
varied articulation, with archways on all three sides and with second story balconies
along the northeasterly elevation creating areas of light and shadow. A large arched entry

with glass doors is featured along the main entrance on the westerly elevation. With the
tower elements, the building will be approximately 35 feet tall.
Access and Circulation
Access to the site is gained from Garvey Avenue to the east. The San Bernardino
Freeway is located to the south of the site. The nearest freeway exit is at Citrus Street to
the east or Azusa Avenue to the west. Garvey Avenue is designated as a collector road
and Hollenbeck Avenue is a "Minor Arterial" (four lane, 80-foot wide right-of-way) in
the General Plan Master Plan of Streets.
The current daily traffic volume for vehicles traveling north and south on Hollenbeck
Avenue is 13,909 vehicles per day. The current traffic volume for vehicles traveling east
and west on Garvey Avenue is 2,512 vehicles per day. The new building is proposed to
consist of 4,050 square feet of medical/dental office space and 4,800 square feet of general
office space.
The estimated trip generation for these uses, based on information from the 6th edition of
Trip Generation (Institute of Transportation Engineers) for medical/dental offices is 36.13
vehicle trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area on an average weekday and for general
offices 11.01 vehicle trips per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area. This results in 146 and
53 vehicle trips, respectively, therefore the estimated additional vehicle trips to the site is
199. As mentioned above the additional traffic volume will have a minor impact to the
surrounding. area. If the office were to function as a general office only, the estimated trip
generation would be 97 vehicle trips on an average weekday.

Parkin
A total of 43 parking spaces are proposed. In terms of parking requirements, there are two
standards for offices; general office and medical/dental office. General office requires one
parking space for every 300 square feet of floor area, while medical/dental office requires
one parking space for every 150 square feet of floor area. The total building is 8,850 square
feet, and for general office would require 30 parking spaces. The applicant has provided
enough parking spaces to allow a portion of the building (4,050 square feet) to be used for
medical/dental office.
The first floor of the building is proposed to be 4,650 square feet. The applicant is
proposing to have 4,050 square feet of the office space on the first floor available for
medical office, requiring 27 parking spaces (one parking space for every 150 square feet).
The remaining 600 square feet will be parked at the office parking ratio of one parking space
for every 300 square feet. The first floor will require a total of 29 parking spaces. The
second floor is proposed to be 4,200 square feet of office spaces and will be parked at the
office parking ratio, requiring 14 parking spaces for' a total of 43 parking spaces. (see chart
on page 2)
Zone Change
The property is a remnant parcel that was not needed to complete the freeway and underpass
construction. Allowed uses in the "Open Space" (O-S) Zone are natural areas and
parklands. At the time the property was designated as "O-S" it thought that CalTrans might

landscape the properties. That did not occur. The applicant is proposing a zone change to
allow the development of an office building. A similar situation occurs on the northwest
corner of Hollenbeck Street and Garvey Avenue South, where a parking facility for Villa
Tepeyac Restaurant has been developed. Because the property is located adjacent to the
freeway, it is not a feasible site for a park or natural area, it is staff s belief that changing the
zone to "Neighborhood Commercial" as the adjacent lots are also zoned is appropriate and
will allow the property to be improved and maintained.
Conclusion
The applicant is proposing the construction of an 8,850-square foot building on a lot that has
been vacant since the construction of the freeway. The building has been designed with
articulation and a variety of materials. While the parking lot is designed with one entry,
requiring a dead-end drive aisle, the topography of the site does easily not allow for an
alternative. The proposed zone change is consistent with the "Neighborhood Commercial"
Zone and development.
VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution approving Precise
Plan No. 03-04 and adopt a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of
Zone Change No. 03-03.

CATEGORICAL EXCEPTION
APPLICANT: Abell-Helou
LOCATION: Southeast Corner of Hollenbeck Street and North Garvey Avenue North
WHEREAS, there was filed with this Commission a verified application on the forms
prescribed by the Planning Commission, a request for a zone change from:
"Open Space" (O-S) to "Neighborhood Commercial" (N-C)
on that certain property generally described as follows:
Assessor's Parcel Number 8453-023-019, in the records of the Los Angeles County
Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zone change is consistent with the proposed General Plan
Designation of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial"; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zone change maintains consistency between the General Plan
and Zoning Map; and
WHEREAS, said zone change application is requested to allow for the development of an
office building on vacant land; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission, upon giving the required notice, did on the 131h
day of January, 2004, conduct a duly noticed public hearing to consider said application; and
WHEREAS, this application is submitted in conjunction with a request for approval of a
precise plan; and
WHEREAS, studies and investigations made by the Planning Commission and in its
behalf reveal the following facts:
1. The applicant is requesting approval of a zone change to construct an 8,850-
square foot, two-story commercial, building on a vacant 25,000-square foot site.
Additionally, 43 parking spaces and associated landscaping are proposed. The
project site consists of a predominantly flat pad with slopes along the western and
northern property lines. The property is approximately 13 feet higher from the
public right-of-way along the northern property line adjacent to Garvey Avenue
and approximately 18 feet higher along the public right-of-way along the western
property line adjacent to Hollenbeck Avenue. The site is undeveloped and
graded. The project will involve site preparation activities, limited grading, and
the construction of the proposed building and associated infrastructure. The
property is currently zoned "Open Space" (0-S), and is proposed to be rezoned as
"Neighborhood Commercial" (N-C).
2. Approval of the zone change will allow the applicant to construct an office building
on a vacant lot that is currently zoned for open space and recreational uses.

Planning Commission Resolution No. 04-4910
Zone Change No. 03-03
January 13, 2004 Page 2 of 3
3. 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
4. The project is a Categorical Exemption, Class 3 (Section 15303: New Construction
or. Conversion of Small Structures) pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) since the project involves the
placement of an 8,850-square foot two-story office building.
WHEREAS, based on the evidence, both oral and documentary, the Planning
Commission finds as follows:
a. The .proposed zone change would allow for the construction of the proposed
office building on a currently vacant lot.
b. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect adjoining property value and
will not .be detrimental to the area because the modification will allow for the
construction of an office building. Furthermore, surrounding uses are currently
office or commercial buildings and the subject property is adjacent to the San
Bernardino Freeway.
C. The proposed zone change is compatible with the surrounding area in that the lot
is located in an area with other commercial and office uses.
d. The proposed zone change will not adversely affect the General Plan as
consistency between the General Plan and the Zoning Map will be maintained, as
the General Plan is not proposing to be changed. Further the zone change will
result in improvements to the subject property, which is currently vacant and
undeveloped.
e. The approval of such zone change is consistent with the General Plan designation
of "Service and Neighborhood Commercial," since the neighboring properties are
also designated as "Service and Neighborhood Commercial" and developed with
office and commercial uses.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission 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. 03-03 is hereby found to be consistent with the City's General Plan and
the land uses permitted within said zone classification.
SECTION NO. 2: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of 1970,
the project is a Categorical Exemption, Class 3 (Section 15303: New Construction or
Conversion of Small Structures) pursuant to the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act of 1970 (CEQA) since the project involves the placement of an
8,850-square foot two-story office building.
