Gondition of Approval PLS3 required the applicant to submit a Tree Survey Report (‘Report’) for review and approval by the Development Services Director prio to the City Council Hearing. A draft Report was submitted to Development Services Department on May 8, 2017. Staff reviewed the Report and requested a minor modification. The revised Report was submitted to Staff on July 3, 2017, and having been deemed consistent with the requirements enumerated in Condition of Approval PL53 was accepted by Staff on July 5, 2017. The revised Report was circulated to the City Counc!l and made available to the public on July 6, 2017, (On June 12, 2017, the City Council conducted a Public Hearing and introduced for first reading Ordinance 02M17-4713 approving Specific Plan Amendment SP-16-1; and Zone Change Z-16- 1. Adoption of a Resolution approving General Plan Amendment GPA-16-1, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and the Miigated Negative Declaration was scheduled for ‘the following City Council meeting. Prior to the next City Council meeting the applicant decided to revise the project to accommodate retaining an existing on-site chapel building, The proposed retention of the existing chapel building resulted in other changes having to be made to the project including reconfiguration of the proposed lot lines near the chapel building and alterations to the parking lot design that increased the skied nursing faciity parking by three (3) spaces to a total of 41 parking spaces. The Report was also revised in light of these project changes and received by Staff and made available to the public on August 1, 2017. Additional revisions to the project include a clerical correction to change the existing land use designations under the Valley Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan from Sub-Regional Commercial (8) and Residential Specitic Plan, to Retail Commercial (C) and Office Professional (B) to reflect, the proposed development that the Planning Commission approved. These changes are not significant enough individually or as a whole to require an addendum to the Mitigated Negative iPcaouNcsit Rapetscit Cy Cueto 17Caneta Coun soeDeclaration as they will not result in any new or increased impacts or mitigation. However, a new fist reading for the Ordinance is required.

The Design Review application was approved by the Design Review Board on December 13, 2016, but its approval is contingent upon City Council approval of the other entitlements Each of these applications is further explained below. General Plan Amendment GPA-16-1, Specific Plan Amendment SPA-16-1 & SPA-16-2, ‘and Zone Chango 2-16- The commercial element of the proposal requires a General Plan Amendment (GPA), Specific Plan Amendments (SPA) and Zone Change. The northernmost 1.74 acres of the site is located within the Valley Boulevard Corridor Specific Plan ("VBCSP"), Sub- Regional Commercial (B) District (Specific Plan-SRC (B)) and carries the same designation on the General Plan Land Use Map. The remainder of the property to the south is zoned R-3 (Multiple Family Residential). Specific Plan Amendment SPA-16-1 will adjust the boundary line separating the VBCSP zone and the R-3 zone, thereby increasing the land area of the commercial portion of the site from 1.74 acres to 2.0 acres, ‘and decreasing the land area of the residential portion of the site from 9.86 acres to 9.6 ‘acres, Specific Plan Amendment SPA-16-2 changes the land use designations of the \VCBSP portion of the site from Sub-Regional Commercial (B) and Residential Specific Pian to Retall Commercial (C) and Office Professional (B). This change would facilitate the applicant's proposed replacement of a litle used, existing surface parking lot with a new, two-story, 18,000 square foot medical office building and one-story 12,490 square oot ‘commercial bullding. The proposed retail and medical office development would provide employment opportunities as well shopping and services that would serve nearby Fesidents and revitalize this portion of Valley Boulevard. Figure 1 Current and Proposed Zones and Land Use Designations, on the following page, shows the current zoning boundary lines and the proposed boundary lines, and the current and proposed land use designations. PLANNING Raprsizo17 Cly Canes TCamea Cour oeFigure 1 ~ Current and Proposed Zones and Land Use Designations 7 Vesting Tentative Tract Map 7413. The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map will reconfigure the existing collection of parcels into four numbered parcels. Parcels 1 and 2 would include the medical and retail buildings and measure 38,329 (0.88 acres) and 48,770 (1.12 acres) square fect respectively. Parcel 3 would house the skilled nursing facility and would measure 65,991 square feet (1.51 acres). Parcel 4 would include the remaining 362,836 square feet (8.10 ‘acres) of the site, In addition to re-dividing the site, the Vesting Tentative Tract Map ‘would create an airspace condominium division ofthe 126 townhome dwellings. ‘Commercial Planned Development Permit ‘The applicant is requesting a Commercial Planned Development Permit to construct two ‘commercial buildings on the north end of the site, fronting along Valley Boulevard. The proposed commercial development would consist of a two-story 18,000 square foot medical office building with a second floor deck comprising approximately half of the second floor, and a single-story 12,490 square foot retail building, ‘The proposed commercial development would replace an existing surface parking lot, which served the now vacant senior residential apartments, with pedestrian oriented retail and medical office uses. The change in land use from a residential parking lot to retail ‘and office space would provide employment and shopping opportunities. for the immediate and nearby neighborhoods. The retail building will be provided with 63 surface parking spaces located behind the retail building. The medical office building will be provided with 90 total parking spaces. Thirty-nine (39) surface spaces will be located behind the medical office building and another 61 spaces will be located in an underground parking level below the office building. As such, the change in land use ‘supports the goals and objectives of the Specific Plan. The Specific Plan is a long-range land use plan to revialze the existing, aging commercial development along Valley (PLANNING Rapos201 Cy CouncOat7Cumla Cou eeBoulevard. The policies and implementing measures of the specific plan, which was adopted in 1990, were developed with extensive input from local businesses. and residents during a series of community workshops. Conditional Use Permit Skilled nursing homes are a conditionally permitted use in the R-3 Zone. Expansion of the existing 19,250 square foot, 90 bed skilled nursing facility requires approval of a Conditional Use Permit. The existing skilled nursing facility was established in 1954. ‘The proposed expansion of the skilled nursing facility would consist of a 14,600 square foot square foot two-story Commons Building, The building would be constructed in a traditional Mediterranean style architecture, similar to that used for the proposed townhomes. The proposed Commons Building would provide support to the skilled nursing faciity and contains multipurpose rooms, dining facilities and administrative offices. The addition of the commons room would not increase the number of beds or residents in the facility. Thirly (30) parking spaces are requited for the skilled nursing facility use and 41 parking spaces will be provided within a surface parking lot to the north Residential Planned Development Permit, ‘The applicant Is requesting approval of a Residential Planned Development permit to construct 126 townhome-style condominiums. There are three proposed floor plans that ‘would be grouped in 36, three- and four-unit buildings. Models would range in size from 1,484 square fest to 1,686 square feet and would have three or four bedrooms, Each proposed unit would be three stories, with a direct-access two cat garage, full bath and bedroom or office on the ground floor, open concept second floors with kitchen, living and ining space and third floors with two or three bedrooms. Model 2 would also have a ssludy which, because of its size and orientation, is not suitable for conversion to a bedroom. Fifty-four of the units will be oriented to public streets adjacent to the project site. These Units feature individual walkways to the public sidewalk, private front yards enclosed by low walls and front door access. These design features would integrate the proposed homes into the existing neighborhood and encourage pedestrian activity. Sixteen units ‘would cluster around a poal and lawn area on the southem portion of the site, with the remaining units located in four building clusters fronting on east-west oriented paseos. Pedestrian access throughout the site would be provided by a paseo running from north (fo south, connecting the sinaller eastwesl pascus. {A total of 428 parking spaces are required (252 enclosed garage spaces, 150 additional ‘spaces, 26 guest spaces). ‘The project will have 432 parking spaces consisting of 252 enclosed garage spaces, 150 additional spaces, and 30 guest spaces, ‘The proposed Residential Planned Development Permit also includes the retention of an existing on-site chapel. The chapel is one-story tall and has an approximate size of 2,825 square feet. The chapel is located due north of the existing skilled nursing facilty ‘and will be maintained in its current locationDesign Review. ‘The architectural style of the etal is contemporary and appropriate to the commercial nature of the streetscape. Both buildings would be designed in a contemporary style and ‘would include strong vertical glass elements and varied complimentary building materials with varied shades of stucco, stacked ledger stone and vertical composite wood siding, ‘The residential components of the development are Mediterranean inspired in style which allows for a better human scale and an expected character for the proposed detached residential triplex and fourplex buildings. The buildings have been designed in a regional ‘adaptation of traditional Medkerranean architecture and feature extensive detalling on each elevation, including: + Stile roof parapets with exposed rafter tails or comices; + Varied window treatments such as raised stucco surrounds, shutters, potted plant shelves and fabric awnings with wrought iron frames on all windows; ‘+Traditional wood front doors, some with arches; Second floor decks shaded by cloth and wrought iron awnings, stile roofs ‘or wooden, pergolas;, + Raised architectural bands separating the second and third floors; and, ‘+ Finish materials including complimentary earth tone colored stucco and stacked ledger stone. Overall the quality of the project's architectural design is acceptable and the impact to the surrounding neighborhood is consistent withthe existing. The proposed landscape plan is, conceptual and will need further development, especially in regard to adhering to Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) standards of the City of Alhambra and the State of California, The refinement to the landscape plan will be addressed during the plan check process, ‘On December 13, 2016, the Design Review application was approved with the condition that additional documentation be provided for Staff review. The information may include ‘but is not limited to composite elevations or renderings, contextual elevations as it relates to the neighboring community buildings and other drawings that give a comprehensive understanding of the design value. Public Outreach: On January 25, 2017, the developer, at Staff's direction, held a public meeting on site from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m, The purpose of the meeting was to provide a full overview of the project and measures that would be taken to reduce impacte of the project to nearby residents, students and school faculty. To insure ease of access to interested parties, the meeting was held on-site in a multi-purpose room, known as Bloy Center, at the skiled nursing facity. Applicant representatives at the meeting included ‘the property ownerideveloper, the project manager, a representative of Applied Planning, ‘who prepared the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for the project. and the transportation consultant who prepared the trafic and circulation analysis for the project. George Murray, Executive Director for Facilities and Transportation ‘Services for the Alhambra Unified School District was also present, GIPLANWINGISta Reponsi2017 Cy Counc#D81117Camelia Cour doeTo insure that concerned parents and neighbors were afforded ample opportunity to learn about the project, Staff developed an expanded public notification list which incorporate substantially more of the local neighborhood. Using the standard 200-foot notification radius yielded a notification list of 95 names. The expanded public notification area increased this number to 544 names. This list was used to notify surrounding property ‘owners of a Community Meeting related to this proposal Parents of students attending the adjacent Marguerita Elementary School have ‘expressed significant concern with regards to noise and air quality that may occur during the construction phase of the project, and student pedestrian safely both during and after construction of the project Noise - The Initial Study identified potential significant noise impacts to nearby residences east and west of the site, and required that acoustic blankets be installed at a height of six feet along Marengo Avenue and at a height of eight feet along the northern portion of Benito Avenue, ending at a point across from the southernmost residences The Initial Study did not identify Impacts or require mitigation for the school due to the distance of the classrooms from the site. Although not required, the applicant has ‘committed to extending the acoustic blanket south along Benito Avenue, to the corner of Glendon Way, providing a continuous acoustic barrier between the construction site and the school Furthermore, the applicant explained that the existing one story buildings that make up the now vacant senior apartment development have been constructed of materials that ‘are valuable as recycled lumber and thal the buildings are constructed with perimeter foundations rather than slab foundations. As such, removal of these buildings will be ‘accomplished with much more hand labor and lighter equipment than would be used for mass demolition, and this would significantly limit the noise during site clearance, Air Quality - Parents also expressed concern about air quality issues that may impact Students and facuily at the school. The Initial Study identified potential impacts related to emissions from large earthmoving equipment and from finish coatings used during final construction, Measures intended to address these concoms include requirements that earthmoving equipment be compliant with applicable California Air Resources Board standards and that only Low Volatile Organic Compound paints, compliant with standards of the South Coast Air Quality Management District be used. ‘The Initial Study also identified airborne particulate matter generated during construction a8 A significant impact. Mitigation measures to address this include stopping clearing. {grading and earth moving activities when wind exceeds 25 m.p.h., watering disturbed areas three time dally and at the end of each day and limiting vehicle speed on site to 18 mp. ‘These mitigation measures would reduce impacts to a less than significant level based ‘on thresholds established by the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Although ‘no additional mitigation measures are required, the developer has offered to take additional steps to further minimize impacts to the school. The extension ofthe eight-foot tall acoustic blanket to the southwest corner of the site will create a physical barrier CiPLancisat Raponsz0i Cy Couns 7eaneta Coun deebetween the school and the construction site that would further minimize particulate intrusion into the school site. The applicant has also offered, to the extent feasible, to do grading and site preparation work during summer months when the school is on break Aso, to the extent feasible, the applicant would remove the perimeter structures last, and construct perimeter structures first, thereby using existing and future perimeter buildings ‘as a barrier from the school Circulation - The Initial Study has not identified any significant impacts related to traffic {and circulation affecting either student commuting or general traffic in the immediate ‘area; however, parents of students have expressed concern about congestion on streets ‘adjacent to the School and student safely as they ciuss slieels and load and unload from ‘cars on adjacent streets. Marguerita Elementary School has no on-site student pick-up or drop-off area; however, there is one formal drop-off area along West Glendon Way, which has identification signs and is separated from travel lanes using cones during the moming drop-off. Because there are no on-site drop-off or pick-up failties, and only limited, formal on-street facilities, student drop-off and pick-up occurs on all three frontages of the school, with children crossing mic-block to get to and from carpool Vehicles. To avoid compounding existing, school related circulation issues, the applicant is, proposing that construction traffic enter the site off South Marengo Avenue at the northern portion of the site, Isolating construction traffic from the streets adjacent to the school. Furthermore, the applicant is proposing an access gate at the southeast driveway which would prevent project related traffic from impacting the student pick-up ‘and drop-off activity along Benito and Glendon Way. Staff has included a Condition of Approval PL23 requiring installation of a gate at the south-east entrance to the residential portion of the project, that will restrict bath ingress and egress to and from the project one. hour before and one hour after the beginning and end of the school day. Scheduling shall be periodically adjusted to compensate for changes in school class scheduling and vacations. In addition to these specific steps related to noise, air quality and traffic, the applicant has. offered to meet with parents and school representatives on a regular basis during ‘construction to work cooperatively to address unanticipated issues. Zoning and Genoral Plan Consistency: The Project is consistent with all development ‘standards and General Plan designations within the proposed Zoning and the proposed General Plan Amendment Environmental Status: The project was reviewed pursuant to Section 15063 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), An Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) for this project have been prepared in compliance with CEQA. The ISIMND identified that the project impacts will be reduced to below significant levels ‘through the implementation of mitigation measures. In addition to the issues discussed in the Public Outreach section contained in this report, the IS/MND also identified three other areas of study where the project requires the implementation of mitigation measures. These areas requiring mitigation measures are Tribal Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, and Hazards and Hazardous Materials. The specific mitigation GrrLaMNcisat Roponszo17 Cy ComettOt Carat Gout
