Pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) of
1970, a MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT has been prepared indicating the project will not have a significant effect on
the environment.
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WEST COVINA
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. On the basis of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, the City
Council makes the following findings:
The proposed development plans and the apses proposed are consistent with the
General Plan and any applicable specific plan.
An amendment to the City's General Plan land -use map to change the designation
of the project site from Civic: School to Neighborhood Medium (9 to 20 units/acre),
would be required in order to develop the site. The proposed project density will be
17.29 units per acre. The proposed General Plan designation of Neighborhood
Medium allows a maximum density of 20 units per acre.
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.
The proposed project is consistent with the following 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 4 Promote equal housing opportunity for all residents.
Goal 5 Identify adequate sites to achieve housing variety.
b. The proposed development is consistent with adopted development standards for
the zone and complies with all other applicable provisions of the Municipal Code.
The project site is currently developed with a school use and zoned as Single -
Family Residential (R-1). The project involves changing the zoning of the project
site from Single -Family Residential (R-1) to a Specific Plan to allow the
construction of a 158 multiple -family residential development. The West Covina
Municipal Code allows for the creation of a specific plan zone in order to provide
greater specificity and flexibility in carrying out the general plan of the city. In
addition, Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8 of the California Government
Code grants municipalities the ability to adopt specific plans. As designed, the
project will be consistent with the standards set forth in the proposed Walnut Grove
Specific Plan.
Granting the permit would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety,
and welfare and would not unreasonably inte�fere with the use or enjoyment of
property in the vicinity of the subject property.
The project is designed to be compatible with the structures and uses within the
vicinity and would not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, and general
welfare and would not unreasonably interfere with the use and enjoyment of property.
The project is designed as an excellent transition bridging the commercial uses to the
east, south, and north, and single-family residential uses to the not west, and south,
with two-story single-family residential style homes adjacent to neighboring single-
family residential uses, and the three-story attached multifamily residential townhouse
style development adjacent to commercial uses. In addition, landscaping will be
installed to provide a buffer separating the proposed structures from the neighboring
residential uses.
The site is physically suitable for the type, density and intensity of the development
being proposed, including vehicle access and circulation, utilities, and the absence
ofphysical constraints.
The proposed development will be accessible from two driveways along Rowland
Avenue. The site is 9.14 acres and, as conditioned, is physically suitable for the
proposed project and adequate to accommodate the size and shape of the building,
parking and all required standards of the proposed Specific Plan subject to the
approval of the Zone Change and General Plan amendment. The proposed General
Plan designation of Neighborhood Medium allows a maximum density of 20 units per
acre. The proposed project density will be 17.29 units per acre.
The architecture, site layout, location, shape, balk and physical characteristics of the
proposed development are compatible with the existing and future land uses, and do
not interfere with orderly development in the vicinity.
All aspects of the site development are compatible with the existing and future land
uses and do not interfere with orderly development in the vicinity. All site
improvements and proposed landscaping will enhance the overall appearance of the
streetscape. The design of the buildings proposed will utilize one of three
architectural styles: Farmhouse, Spanish Colonial, and Cottage. All proposed
architectural styles utilize a mixture of materials that are appropriate for the selected
style/design and are compatible with the neighborhood.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to all of the evidence presented, both oral and documentary, and
further based on the findings above, Precise Plan No. 20-01 and Tree Removal Permit No. 20-14 are
