TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Anthony Vazquez, Public Works Manager
PREPARED BY: David Lopez, Associate Engineer
DATE: May 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Request for Appropriation of Funds for Underground Waste Oil Tank Abandonment and Concrete Deck Repair at Clarifier City Yard Facility

SUMMARY
This item seeks City Council consideration for the approval of an appropriation of additional funds in the amount of $45,610.00 for extraordinary repairs to Fleet Service Facility located at Baldwin Park City Yard, 13135 E.

Garvey Ave. and approve all related requisitions in order to initiate repairs. The repairs will include removal of a non-complaint underground waste oil tank and repair to concrete deck of one of the clarifiers at the maintenance facilities.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:

2. Authorize the Director of Finance to make necessary budget adjustments to allow payments; and

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no impact on the General Fund. The following table lists the fund(s) available for tank removal services and the concrete repair to deck of clarifier.

* Total amount requested includes 10% contingency for any unforeseen conditions that may arise

BACKGROUND

Page 2 ends

The City’s Public Works City Yard, located at 13135 Garvey Avenue, was originally constructed as a California Highway Patrol facility in 1962. The City of Baldwin Park occupied the site and added warehouse buildings and a garage in 1978. The Fleet Services Department is located in this garage. Fleet services are comprised of three (3) full-time employees, and they are responsible for the maintenance and repair of over 100 vehicles and pieces of equipment critical to the operations of Public Works, Police, Recreation, and other vital City Departments.

Part of their operations require waste oil storage and a clarifier for maintenance and operations on various pieces of equipment. The waste oil storage tank is underground and has a capacity of 500 gallons. The clarifier is comprised of three (3) separat e settling tanks made from concrete that allow for the separation of solids from a liquid, leaving a clear, clarified liquid.

DISCUSSION
While routine maintenance has been performed regularly, recent inspections by LA County Public Works have identified significant deficiencies requiring immediate attention on both equally important systems. The underground waste oil tank is used to store 500 gallons of used oil when Fleet services perform maintenance on vehicles and equipment. Due to recent requirements by the State and County, the underground facility no longer meets the criteria to remain in service. While preparing for the project to remove the waste oil tank, it was discovered that the portion of the concrete deck that sits ov er the clarifier was breaking apart and creating an unsafe area for vehicles to drive over.

Both projects require immediate action and cannot be delayed any further. Staff began meeting with LA County representatives for recommendations of the next steps. Public Works staff obtained a permit and solicited various qualified vendors to perform the services for removal of underground tank and repair of concrete deck. Based on their experience and cost proposal, We are recommending Premier Fueling Services and Sager Construction Inc. as the two (2) ideal vendors. Below are the additional companies that have submitted proposals for the proposed work:

Removal of Underground Tank Proposal Amount
Premier Fueling Services Inc. $21,663.50
Ocean Blue Environmental $22,503.30
NV-5 $36,572.63

GM SAGER Construction Co.

$19,800.00

ALTERNATIVES

1. The City Council may choose not to appropriate the additional funding for the two (2) maintenance projects and instruct staff to seek other quotes. This action is not recommended as soliciting other proposals for this service and purchase may result in increased costs, safety risk, and potential citation for non -compliance by the county

2. Provide Staff with alternate direction.

CEQA REVIEW
PURSUANT TO CEQA, A "PROJECT" IS DEFINED AS A "WHOLE ACTION" SUBJECT TO A PUBLIC AGENCY'S DISCRETIONARY FUNDING OR APPROVAL THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EITHER (1) CAUSE A DIRECT PHYSICAL CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT OR (2) CAUSE A REASONABLY FORESEEABLE INDIREC T PHYSICAL CHANGE IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

Under the law, you may protect yourself against such claims by filing, before commencing such work of improvement, an original contract for the work of improvement or a modification thereof, in the office of the county recorder of the county where the property is situated and requiring that a contractor's payment bond be recorded in such office. Said bond shall be in an amount not less than fifty percent (50%) of the contract price and shall, in addition to any conditions for the performance of the contract, be conditioned for the payment in full of the claims of all persons furnishing labor, services, equipment or materials for the work described in said contract.

SUBJECT: Approve and Adopt Resolution No. 2025 -009 Approving the Industrial Disability Retirement (IDR) for William Zendejas a Local Safety Member

SUMMARY
This report requests City Council’s approval and adoption of Resolution No. 2025-009 for an Industrial Disability Retirement for William Zendejas, a Local Safety Member.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt and approve Resolution No. 2025 -009 entitled , “A

RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK, APPROVING THE

INDUSTRIAL DISABILITY RETIREMENT (IDR) FOR WILLIAM ZENDEJAS A LOCAL SAFETY MEMBER”.

FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND
An industrial disability retirement (IDR) is retirement resulting from an employee’s mental or physical incapacity to perform his/her usual job duties as the result of a job-related injury or illness. For local safety employees (e.g. sworn Police Officers) enrolled in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), state law requires the employer to make a determination on a member’s eligibility for IDR.

In accordance with the California Public Employees Retirement Law (PERL), a local safety employee qualifies for an IDR if he/she 1) is determined, on the basis of competent medical opinion, to be substantially incapacitated from performing the usual and custo mary duties of his/her position, 2) the disability is permanent or of an extended and uncertain duration, and 3) the cause of the injury or illness is industrial, arising out of and in the course of employment.

Mr. Zendejas was hired in April 2004 and held the positions of Police Cadet, Parking Enforcement Officer, Public Safety Trainee, Police Officer, and Police Sergeant. He submitted a request for an Industrial Disability Retirement with CalPERS for a cumulative trauma claim dated May 31, 2007 – August 18, 2022, for orthopedic injuries to the right wrist, left leg, lumbar and cervical, where the Agreed Medical Examiners (AME) found industrial causation. Mr. Zendejas is now permanent and stationary with permanent work restrictions due to the orthopedic industrial injuries.

ALTERNATIVES
The alternative is to deny Mr. Zendejas’ Industrial Disability Retirement.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Enrique C. Zaldivar, Chief Executive Officer
DATE: May 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Final Feasibility Report for Grade Separation at Ramona Blvd and Metrolink Railroad

SUMMARY
In early 2023, LA Metro pledged a grant of $500,000 to the City of Baldwin Park to conduct a technical feasibility study for a grade separation at Ramona Blvd and the Metrolink railroad. LA Metro has completed the feasibility study and found the grade separation to be technically feasible as a roadway under rail grade separation.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council

1. Receive and file the Technical Feasibility Report for the Ramona Blvd/Metrolink Railroad Grade Separation, also known as Project Study Report Equivalent (PSRE), attached herein.

2. Acknowledge that the grade separation is technically feasible at an estimate cost of $167.9 million over an eight-year period with 2025 as the base year.

3. Direct Staff to pursue project development partnerships with LA Metro, Metrolink, Caltrans, SGV Council of Governments and others.

4. Direct Staff to pursue funding grants with the county, state, and federal agencies enlisting the support of our elected officials.

5. Thank LA Metro and its project team for undertaking the preparation of the feasibility analysis.

FISCAL IMPACT
LA Metro was the underwriter of the $500,000 used to conduct the feasibility analysis. The development and construction cost of $167.9 million is yet to be determined on how it will be funded.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In discussions held with LA Metro Chief Executive Officer and her executive team, and facilitated by Councilmember Estrada in early 2023, LA Metro made a commitment to support the City in its efforts to capitalize on the benefits that mass transit offers by the existence of our Cruz Baca Mass Transit Center, with Metrolink and regional bus service already integrated into it.

LA Metro’s support included their pledge of $500,000 to commission the preparation of a technical feasibility study for a grade separation structure at the crossing of Ramona Boulevard and the Metrolink railroad to relieve traffic congestion, safety concerns, and enable unimpeded emergency response. There are six (6) vehicular railroad crossings in the City. None of them have a grade s eparation, and as such traffic and pedestrians stop at all crossings when the train goes by.

Ramona Boulevard is a major east-west corridor for city residents as well as the region. It is also a crucial pathway for our students attending Baldwin Park High School. With the increased commuter train service provided by Metrolink and the freight trains, the railroad crossings are very frequently being activated, causing traffic backups

Page 2 ends

and pedestrian safety concerns.

LA Metro and their team of consultants determined that the construction of a grade separation is technically feasible, with the roadway under rail as the recommended alternative. In other words, Ramona Boulevard would be lowered to run below the railroad t racks. This is a significant and important finding given the location challenges in both geometry and space availability at the crossing.

There are many subsequent next step that will need to be undertaken, including public engagement, environmental review, securing funding, design, and others. The completion of the feasibility report is a critical first step that will enable the City to pursue partnerships and grant funding with other government agencies.

ALTERNATIVES
None being recommended.

LEGAL REVIEW
Legal review is not required.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert Lopez, Chief of Police
DATE: May 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Status and Update on the Apex Officer – Pro Training Simulator

SUMMARY
This report provides an update regarding the status and implementation of the Apex Officer -Pro Training Simulator.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council receive and file this report.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact related to this report.

BACKGROUND
In 2021, the City of Baldwin Park entered into a recipient agreement with the Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) and was awarded $198,817.00 as part of the Community Policing Development (CPD) De -Escalation Training Solicitation grant (15JCOPS -21-GG-02455-SPPS). The Apex Officer Pro Training Simulator was purchased in November 2023, through the DOJ COPS Office grant and there was no cost to the city.

This De -Escalation Training Project authorized the purch ase of the Apex Virtual Reality Training (VRT) simulator for use by the Department to help officers build new de -escalation skills, enhance tactical awareness during incidents, improve officer and citizen safety, and increase community trust and legitimacy surrounding incidents involving high-risk critical incidents.

The Apex CRT Simulator is a comprehensive product designed to allow law enforcement trainers to give presentations and classes, conduct interactive testing and assessment, and provide immersive, hands-on scenario- based exercises with detailed debriefing and after -action reviews. The VRT simulator is designed to increase trainee de -escalation knowledge, skills, and confidence in a safe, yet challenging environment that is highly interactive and engaging. Apex products utilize a state-of-the-art virtual reality head-mounted display that creates the most realistic and immersive judgmental training simulator.

DISCUSSION
The initial implementation of the VRT training was strategically delayed in order to prioritize mandatory California Peace Officer Standards Training (POST) Perishable Skills Program (PSP) training, which was required to be completed by December 31, 2024. The PSP training included five mandatory categories; Tactical Firearms (Category I): four-hour minimum, Driver Training/Awareness (Category II): four-hour minimum, Arrest & Control (Category III): four -hour minimum, Strategic Communications (Category IV): two-hour minimum, and Use of Force (Category V): four-hour minimum.

Upon completion of the required PSP training, the Department implemented supplemental training through PerformaLabs, a mobile application that provided POST - certified perishable skills training consisting of four,

Page 2 ends

four-hour sessions of De -escalation training (POST ID 1487 -20185) to improve officers' ability to keep themselves and the public safe, four -hours of Mental Illness and Health training (POST ID 1487 -20908) addressing requirements in California Penal Code Se ctions 13515.27, 13515.28, and 13519.2. This strategic approach ensured all officers met the mandatory POST training requirements while receiving additional specialized training before beginning the Apex VRT simulator program.

As previously stated in this report, due to the mandated Peace Officer Standards Training required to be completed by December 31, 2024, coupled with the onboarding of new hires, the completion of mental health and de - escalation training, the utilization of the VRT simulator was del ayed. Due to the unexpected restructuring of Apex Officer, it reinforces the Department’s decision and supports the implementation of PerformaLabs training as a supplemental resource for our officers. The combined POST PSP and PerformaLabs training the Department provided exceeded the minimum requirements required for POST PSP Training.

The VRT simulator is designed to increase an officer’s de-escalation knowledge, skills, and confidence in a safe environment. The Department has the necessary infrastructure to continue to support this training. The grant funding provided for the purchase of all required equipment which included:

o Pro Trainer Simulation Suite with VR training using a simulated handgun and Laser; o High-Performance VR-Ready Workstation;
o Virtual Reality Head Mounted Display;
o Virtual Training Accessories;
o After Action Debriefing capability for real-time monitoring and playback.

The Apex Officer Content Library contains thousands of scenarios that are designed to provide immersive, scenario-based exercises that are realistic and engaging. The scenarios can be edited and modified to address current training trends in addition to a llowing the Department to utilize the variety of pre -established environments and situations our officers might encounter in Baldwin Park or any location. In addition, the VRT simulator is equipped with a Dynamic Scenario Generator which allows our traini ng staff the ability to create additional training situations that mirror real-time situations.

As of April 2025, the VRT simulator was utilized with our seven (7) recently hired officers. Officers Pimentel, Nevels, Larios, Luna, Soto, Eaves, and Cabrera received approximately four hours of training during their Administrative training week (week of April 7, 2025). It should be noted, prior to implementing the use of the VRT, Officers Izzo and Barrios, who are responsible for training our officers, attended training regarding the use of the VRT with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), who also uses the same training simulator.

In regard to the status and support from the Apex Officer company, on January 29, 2025, Apex Officer notified all of their customers that they would be restructuring their company and limiting their offerings and support. The VRT simulator has been update d with the latest software version (2024.5.1) and will continue to function as designed without additional updates.

The original grant funding of $198,817.00, included provisions for Apex Officer to provide hardware setup, software updates, and technical/troubleshooting support. Pending the restructuring of Apex Officer, the company has committed to providing minimal suppo rt, however post -warranty, the Department may face challenges obtaining repairs should major issues arise. To this end, the Department has established contact with GOVRED Technology, Inc., the manufacturer of the VRT simulator for any technical issues or additional support. Given that the LAPD and Rio Hondo Regional Training Center are also users of the VRT simulator, it is anticipated that Apex Officer and GOVRED Technology will continue to provide support for their product.

Beginning with our next shift deployment change, (week of April 27, 2025), Training Bureau will provide all our officers and supervisors with the following:

Page 3 ends

o Briefing training on the Apex VRT simulator;
o Scenario-based training using the simulator.

Each officer will complete one to two scenarios per shift deployment. Training will continue throughout the remaining three quarters of this year; our consistent training approach will ensure all officers maintain proficiency in de-escalation techniques.

STAFF REPORT
ITEM NO. _____10_____

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nick Baldwin, Acting Director of Community Development DATE: May 7, 2025
SUBJECT: Appeal of the Planning Commission’s Decision to approve a Conditional Use Permit to allow a recreational facility (indoor/outdoor soccer facility) use, and a Design Review Application, and finding that the proposed project is
categorically exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) per State CEQA Guidelines section
15332, Class 32 – Infill Development. (Location: 14412 & 14424 Joanbridge Street; Applicant: Trinidad Campbell; Case
Number: CP 23-05, PR 23-21).

SUMMARY
The applicant, Trinidad Campbell for Fit7 Soccer Facility, applied for an approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the construction of an indoor and outdoor soccer training facility within the Industrial (I) Zone. This request was approved by the Planning Commission on the condition that Planning Staff add several conditions of approval to address neighboring residents’ concerns. The project was appealed by Mrs. Susan Cole, an adjacent property owner, within the appeal period.

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council:

1. Conduct a public hearing.

2. Adopt Resolution No. 2025-008 DENYING THE APPEAL AND UPHOLDING THE

DECISION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN

PARK AND APPROVE A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW

RECREATIONAL FACILITY (INDOOR/OUTDOOR SOCCER FACILITY) USE, AND A DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION. (LOCATION: 14412 & 14424 JOANBRIDGE STREET; APPLICANT: TRINIDAD CAMPBELL; CASE
NUMBER: CP 23 -05, PR 23 -21), AND FINDING THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS

CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL

QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES S ECTION 15332.”

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

APPEAL OVERVIEW
This appeal is submitted to the City Council to challenge the March 26, 2025, approval of Conditional Use Permit CP 23-05 and Design Review PR 23 -21, along with the CEQA Class 32 Categorical Exemption for the proposed 22,800 square-foot recreational soccer facility at 14412 & 14424 Joanbridge Street. The appeal raises the following points:
• Conditional Use Permit Compliance : The proposed project does not comply with key CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

2 zoning requirements, including parking (153.150.040), lot coverage (153.050.030), noise (153.140.070), light/glare (153.140.040), residential privacy (153.210.160), and visual compatibility (153.210.160).
• Site Suitability: The 26,244 square -foot site is too small for the proposed 22,800 square - foot facility.
• Compatibility with Surrounding Land Uses: The proposed soccer facility is incompatible with neighboring residential and industrial properties due to excessive noise, traffic, parking concerns, and light spillover.
• Impact on Utilities and Safety: The project will negatively affect public services, including police and fire, and presents safety risks from errant soccer balls impacting adjacent residential and industrial properties.
• Parking and Access: The facility’s inadequate parking would force overflow parking onto prohibited areas and nearby residential streets.
• General Plan Consistency : The project is inconsistent with the City’s General Plan, including Land Use Policies related to commercial components, land use intensity, lighting, and parking.
• Design Review Non-Compliance: The design does not meet required standards, including noise, parking, light/glare, setbacks, and residential privacy protections. • CEQA Compliance: The CEQA Class 32 Categorical Exemption is inappropriate due to the project's inconsistency with the General Plan and Municipal Code, resulting in significant environmental impacts, particularly in traffic, parking, and noise.

APPEAL STANDARD OF REVIEW
In accordance with Baldwin Park Municipal Code ( BPMC) Section 153.210.150, the City Council will review the appeal de novo, meaning it will consider the matter anew, without deferring to the Planning Commission’s prior decision. The Council may reverse, modify, or affirm the decision based on the evidence presented during the hearing. Additionally, the City Council has the discretion to add, delete, or modify conditions as necessary, or refer the matter back to the Planning Commission for further consideration.

SUBJECT PROPERTY & SURROUNDING LAND USES
The project site consists of two separate legal lots of record, Parcel 1 – (14412 Joanbridge Street) and Parcel 2- (14424 Joanbridge Street) that are each approximately 13,122-square feet for a combined total of 26,244 square feet. Parcel 1 is currently equipped with an existing approximately 6,813-square foot commercial building, while Parcel 2 is developed with a 5,000-square foot commercial building.

The s ubject property ’s General Plan land use designation is General Industrial , which is consistent with the property’s I, Industrial Zone. The subject sites total approximately 26, 244 -square feet and are both rectangular in shape.

The sites are bounded by the uses as detailed in Table #1 below.

3 DISCUSSION
On March 26, 2025, the Planning Commission considered and approved the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review at a duly noticed public hearing during their regular meeting and at which time they considered the staff report and attachments presented by Planning Staff as well as written documentation and verbal testimony from the applicant, appellant, and other commenting parties. The Planning Commission added or modified proposed conditions to address concerns and issues raised at the public hearing, whic h have been included in staff’s recommendation and are further described below.

An appeal application of the Planning Commission’s decision was submitted by Appellant to the City within the appeal period.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a recreational facility (indoor/outdoor soccer facility) within an existing commercial complex. Recreational facilities are permitted in the Industrial zone by way of a reviewed and approved Conditional Use Permit by the Planning Commission.

The proposal includes a complete interior remodel of the existing unit on Parcel 1 and the demolition of the existing building on Parcel 2. The proposed ground floor layout will consist of one (1) new indoor ground level soccer field of 3,825-square feet in size, a meeting room, men and women restrooms, and a gym room within the remodeled building. A 39-stall parking structure will be built surrounding the building which will include a trash enclosure, additional men and women restrooms, and staircases and an elevator to access the second floor. The second floor of the remodeled building will include a meeting room, four (4) offices, a kitchen, restroom, and one (1) practice area of 1,707 square feet in size. The second floor above the parking area will have three (3) outdoor soccer fields on the second floor ranging from 3,410-square feet to 3,770-square feet.

Zoning

The existing industrial commercial building is currently 25 -feet in height measured from finished grade to the highest point of the roof. The proposed parking area and outdoor soccer fields will measure the same height as the existing building, a total of 25 feet measured from finished grade to the highest point of the protective mesh wiring on the second floor. The allowed maximum height in the Industrial (I) zone is 25 feet, making the building height compliant with code standards.

The proposed project is in compliance with all other development standards pursuant to 153.220.130 - including Lot Coverage: The percentage of the total lot area covered by enclosed structures and/or carports, but excluding uncovered steps, driveways, walks, covered patios, terraces and swimming po ols. The subject project does not propose any new enclosed structures on the first floor. The maximum Floor Area Ratio ( FAR) for Industrial properties is 1.0. Since FAR only applies to enclosed structures, only the existing building is counted and the project has an FAR of .52, which is below the maximum permitted.

Design Review

Pursuant to Section 153.210.160, the design review process is intended to improve the general standards and orderly development of the city through review of the design, layout and other features of proposed developments and their environs prior to submission of plans to the Building Division for plan check. The primary objective of the Design Guidelines is to provide for functional site planning, integrate architectural elements within a project and within streetscapes, protect privacy and ensure the provision of high-quality projects.

CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

4 Staff has determined that the project comports with the primary objective of the Design Guidelines. Exterior improvements shall include a combination of Ash wood siding and decorative black wire mesh screening along the primary building façade. Pedestrian scale architectural light fixtures will be provided along with a wall sign that will be considered under a separate permit. The west elevation will be finished with subdued earth tone stucco and the other side and rear elevations will be painted to matc h. The decorative wire mesh screening featured at the top of the primary level will continue along the other three elevations to conceal the soccer fields.

Netting will be used in between the soccer courts, but the netting will not be visible from the public right-of-way or adjacent properties, ensuring privacy for residential neighbors . As a condition of approval, the applicant will also be required to install mature trees and plants to soften the south elevation and created an additional barrier between current residential properties abutting the soccer facility.

Business Operations Plan and Hours of Operation

The applicant has indicated that the soccer training facility will be open to students aged 5 to 17 and will operate seven (7) days a week, with a total of 3 classes per field held throughout a given day. The training schedule will be Monday-Friday from 4PM -9:30 PM. Class times will be broken up from 4PM -6PM, 6PM-8PM, and 8PM - 9:30PM on fields 1-5. Saturday from 8AM-6PM. Class times will be divided from 9AM -11:30AM, 1PM-3PM, 4PM-6PM on fields 1-5. Sunday from 8AM-2PM. Class times will be divided from 8AM-10AM, 10AM-12PM, 12PM-2PM on fields 1-5. All class sizes will range from 2-8 players per field with 2-3 staff per class.

Conditions have been included in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment # 2) to address issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents . These include restrictions on the maximum number of students present for instruction during any given time and property maintenance standards to limit and deter graffiti on exterior walls.

Parking and Traffic

BPMC Section 153.150.040 provides that t he number of parking spaces required for land uses not specifically listed in Table 153.150.040 is to be determined by the City Planner based on common functional, product or compatibility characteristics and activities. The proposed hybrid educational-commercial use on the facility is not identified in Table 153.150.040. As such, staff determined that the proposed use’s parking requirements are most comparable to the parking requirements of a school. Staff points to precedent in this interpretation of the Zoning Code, such as in Case No. CP 23-06, where a recreational facility used as a swim school was also required to provide the same parking spaces as a school, as opposed to the amount of parking spaces required by a commercial recreation fitness club.

The required parking for a recreational facility is one parking space for every employee present at the facility and one additional parking space for every classroom. In this instance, the proposed use requires a total of thirteen (13) parking spaces, as there are always a total of eight (8) instructors during all hours of operation and one combined classroom in the form of the proposed soccer field (5 field). Therefore, the required number of on-site parking spaces required for the proposed soccer facility is thirteen (13) parking spaces per BPMC Section 153.150.040. The project is proposing approximately thirty-nine (39) parking spaces within its parcel boundaries.

Although the minimum parking required is thirteen (13) parking spaces for the proposed use, based on the applicants proposed practice schedule there will be approximately 26-29 possible vehicles based on students/parents, and staff on duty on the site at any one time making the thirty-nine (39) parking spaces sufficient for the proposed use. The soccer training facility will not allow walk-ins and all players will be required to register for classes. Given the age of the participants of the program, Staff anticipates that nearly all will be picked up and dropped off by parents rather than driving themselves to the facility. It is Staff’s assessment that the proposed CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

5 application meets the minimum required off -street parking requirements as required in Section 153.150.040 of the City’s Municipal Code.

A traffic analysis was prepared by Kittleson & Associates—a professional traffic engineering firm—to determine if this project would result in traffic impacts. (See Appendix C of Attachment #11.) After an analysis of site and project characteristics, it was determined that the project would result in 85 net new vehicle trips, which is below the screening threshold of 110 trips, and therefore the project would not have a significant impact on traffic. Out of an abundance of caution, a condition of approval has been added to require the applicant to prepare a circulation and access plan to prevent queuing and idling on Joanbridge Street proximate to the Project. Conditions have been included in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment #2) to address potential parking issues.

Noise

The Project includes four outdoor soccer fields on the rooftop of the proposed parking garage (second level). The soccer fields would introduce new sources of noise from people playing soccer, people talking/coaching/cheering, and other related activities. The Applicant has confirmed no whistles, buzzers, or horns will be used to reg ulate activities and no amplified music or public address systems will be operated. The primary soccer activities would include training young kids in small groups and would consist of practice, skill-related drills, endurance training, and soccer fundamentals.

In order to assess the Project’s noise compatibility with the Project area, a noise survey and measurement were conducted at SOFIVE Soccer Center located at 699 S. Barranca Avenue in Covina, which is approximately 5 miles southeast of the Project Site. (See Appendix B of Attachment # 11.) This location was selected as a representative noise source because of its urban location and its operational characteristics are similar to the Project. This facility includes 10 soccer fields of similar size as proposed b y the Project. The noise meter was placed near three fields that were being used during the survey. Activities observed during the survey included a six-player scrimmage with cheering and instructing at the nearest field (approximately 10 feet from noise meter), a five-player practice with cheering and instructing at an adjacent field (approximately 30 feet from the noise meter), and one-on-one drills with cheering and instructing on a third field (approximately 50 feet from the noise meter). These activiti es are representative of the proposed conditions at the Project Site and also reflect comparable setback distances from the properties to the south of the Project Site. Amplified music and whistles were also observed during the measurement. It is noted that because the Project does not include amplified music or whistles, this reference noise level is conservative and is likely an overestimate of the noise anticipated for the Project. The measured noise level during these activities was recorded at 59.1 dBA Leq (see Appendix B.2 for noise monitoring data). It is noted that the noise meter was placed adjacent to the nearest field, and only a chain- link fence was between the meter and noise sources. Thus, no substantive noise -attenuating barriers affected the reference measurement. Based on a review of the Project’s plan set and confirmation with the Project Applicant, all off-site properties, including the residential uses to the south of the Project Site, would be shielded from Project soccer activities by a 6-foot-high padded wall proposed for the entire perimeter of the second level soccer fields.

According to the Project Applicant, the padding would be a minimum of three inches thick and would be insulated with Rockwool AFB which is specifically designed for sound absorption. This material can achieve a sound transmission class (STC) rating of approximately 44 to 56, which means the material has the potential to reduce noise transmission by approximately 44-56 decibels. According to the FHWA Noise Barrier Design Handbook, the design feasibility of a sound barrier that reduces noise by 10 dBA is considered “attainable.” Therefore, while the data suggests that noise attenuation from this barrier may be greater than 10 dBA, it is reasonable to conservatively assume the padded wall would reduce soccer related noise by 10 decibels at all off-site locations, including the prop erties to the south of the Project Site. With this reduction, soccer related noise levels at the properties to the south of the Project Site would be approximately 49.1 dBA Leq, which is below the allowable CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

6 exterior daytime (7 AM -7 PM) and evening (7 PM -9:30 PM) noise standards for residential zones. The Project would not be operational during nighttime hours (10 PM – 7 AM) and would have no potential to conflict with nighttime standards. As such, the Project would be consistent with the City’s exterior noise standards and impacts would be less than significant. Below are Noise limits from the Baldwin Park Municipal code section 153.140.070.

Light and Glare

The applicant has provided a photometric plan as part of the architectural plan set that is compliant with the Baldwin Park Municipal Code light and glare standards. The applicant is proposing twenty (20) sets of exterior light fixtures at the second-floor soccer fields that will be installed at a maximum height of 12 feet above the first- floor roof line. The proposed lighting will be sufficient to light the fields at night, but will result in no spill over into the adjacent residential properties due to the low light fixture height and the padding of the perimeter fencing (see photometric sheets of the architectural plans, pages 11-17).

The primary light sources associated with the Project would include vehicle headlights emitted from the ground floor, soccer field lighting, and general lighting for common areas, pedestrian access, parking, and security. There is an existing six -foot-high masonry concrete wall between the proposed facility and adjacent residential uses south of the site. The proposed existing masonry wall would shield the adjacent residential uses from direct exposure to vehicle headlights. However, due to the height of the proposed existing masonry wall and its location on the ground floor, exterior light emitted from the second floor of the soccer training facility could spillover and affect existing sensitive receptors (i.e., residential uses) that are adjacent to the Project Site if not addressed. The Project would comply with Section 153.140.040 (Light and Glare) (a) of the City’s Municipal Code, which limits the height of all lighting support structures to the maximum permitted building height for the zone in which they are located. Additionally, Section 153.140.040(f) requires all outdoor lighting to be directed, oriented, and shielded to prevent light from spilling over into adjacent properties. The Project Applicant would also adhere to City to Baldwin Park Design Guidelines Manual (April 2012) and submit a Schematic Lighting Plan of the Project Site as part of the Applicant’s Design Review Submittal package to the City of Baldwin Park Planning Division for review and approval. As required, the schematic lighting plan would indicate the location of all proposed

CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

7 exterior light fixtures (i.e., lighting poles and mounted lighting fixtures). The 6’-0’-tall padding attached to the perimeter fencing would also serve to block light from spilling over to adjacent properties. Per the City’s Guidelines, all exterior lighting fixtures would be energy -efficient ENERGY STAR and have photosensitive off/on switches. Furthermore, a condition of approval has been added to require the Project Applicant to demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions would not result in exces sive spillage into the adjacent residential uses. Thus, adherence to local lighting regulations, implementation of the City’s Design Guidelines, and implementation of the lighting condition of approval would reduce the Project’s impacts involving substantial light and glare to less than significant levels.

Reviewed for Safety
The proposed project has been reviewed by the City’s Planning, Building and Safety, Public Works, and Los Angeles County Fire departments (LACFD) and note that the Project would not substantially increase hazards due to an incompatible use with the implementation of this project. The project construction will also occur above grade and there is no expectation that any below grade trunk lines would be impacted by the Project. If any utility lines need to be altered in any way, such activity would be subject to review and approval with the City’s Department of Public Works.

The project applicant must also submit plans for plan check review to the City of Baldwin Park City Engineer and the LACFD to confirm that the Project would provide adequate on -site access to emergency services and must incorporate all applicable design an d safety standards and regulations outlined in Chapter 33 of the 2022 California Building Code, and Chapter 11 (Construction Requirements for Existing Buildings) of the California Fire Code.

Community Benefit
The Project will be a private facility and while it would not be open to the public for free, the Project would nonetheless provide a new recreational facility that is available to residents so that they do not need to travel outside of the City. The City encourages a variety of recreational uses to support the wide variety and interest of residents. The facility would provide an opportunity for young children to play and learn sports, and therefore would serve the community as a recreational use. In addit ion, it would attract families from neighboring communities to the City, which could generate support for local businesses and help boost economic activity locally.

Future Lot Merger Required

Since the project site consists of two separate lots, the applicant will be required to submit a Lot Merger application through the Public Works Department to consolidate the two lots to allow for the construction of the development and this requirement has been added as a condition of approval.

Lot Coverage

The proposed Project incorporates an innovative layout in which open -air soccer fields are located on a raised platform above ground -floor parking, rather than enclosed or roofed. Because these fields do not meet the Municipal Code’s definition of a “structure”, which requires a roo f supported by walls or columns, and are not used to shelter, house, or enclose persons or property, they are not treated as “enclosed” for purposes of calculating lot coverage or considered a second story for setback purposes. T his distinction aligns with the Municipal Code requirements that only enclosed structures or carports be counted toward lot coverage; in this instance, the Project’s carports, buildings, or other enclosed spaces are limited to the existing industrial building, which results CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

8 in a total lot coverage of approximately 26 percent, well below the 50 percent maximum allowed by the Industrial Zone. In addition, the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the existing enclosed spaces is 0.52, also below the maximum

0.75 permitted for industrial properties.

Similarly, although BPMC section 153.050.030(A)(2) requires an increased rear yard setback where a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a property line with a residential zone and a proposed building exceeds one story, the open-air fields above the parking platform do not qualify as a building or structure because they have no roof and do not enclose space. Therefore, the requirement to double the rear yard setback for a two- story building does not apply . The proposed Project proposes a 10 -foot rear setback that complies with the standard one -story setback requirement in the I -Zone. Notably, several properties on Joanbridge Street share similar rear setbacks, including one at zero feet to residential to the south, which supports that a 10 -foot rear setback is consistent with existing development patterns in the area.

Public comments submitted by the appellant and the applicant have been received and were taken into account during the preparation of this report. Comments are attached to this staff report. See Attachment 13.

GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The project site is designated as “General Commercial” in the City of Baldwin Park General Plan. The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies.

Land Use Goal 1.0 Balanced Development in Baldwin Park. Maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park.

FINDINGS OF FACT— CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

1. Conditionally permitted: The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter

The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The Project is located in the Industrial (“I”) Zone. The I Zone provides areas for the development of industries engaged in general assembly, manufacturing and processing, and support commercial uses. Section 153.050.020 of the Municipal Code conditionally permits recreational facilities (soccer facility) in the I Zone with an approval by the City’s Planning Commission. The Project complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code because the I Zone was established to meet the commerce and service needs of the resident and business communities in the City, as stated in Section 153.050.0100 of the Municipal Code. The Project will provide service-oriented uses that serve both local residents and businesses, because it will offer recreation opportunities to residents and nearby employees. Furthermore, the Project will occupy a large tenant space that is currently vacant, further promoting commercial activity in the I Zone, as intended by the Municipal Code.

2. Zone integrity and character: The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located

The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located. The Project CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

9 is located within the I Zone, which allows for uses that provide a broad range of retail, office, and service-oriented commercial uses designed to meet the needs of both the local and residential and business communities. The Project is substantially comp arable to existing uses in the I Zone. The Project promotes the integrity and character of the I Zone because the Project will occupy a large tenant space that is currently vacant, which will activate a long-vacant tenant space with a low-impact recreational use that draws visitors primarily on evenings and weekends, complementing the industrial uses during off -peak hours.. Therefore, an indoor/outdoor soccer training facility at the subject location compliments the integrity and character of the zone.

3. Site Suitability: The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed

The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed. The onsite circulation has been reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, confirming that it meets applicable functionality and safety standards. Traffic and circulation associated with the Project were also analyzed by a qualified traffic engineer as part of the Categorical Exemption Report, which concluded that the project would not result in any significant impacts. The Project provides 39 on-site parking spaces, which exceeds both the minimum required by the Municipal Code and the anticipated demand, as determined through review of the Applicant’s business plan. To further address parking and circulation concerns, a condition of approval has been inc luded requiring the applicant to submit a plan to manage onsite queuing and vehicle idling, in order to prevent offsite impacts. With respect to neighborhood compatibility, the proposed fields and parking area incorporate architectural and site planning f eatures that promote visual integration with the surrounding area. Decorative black screening and fencing will wrap the fields and parking area. While consistent with other industrial properties on the block that also employ fencing, the proposed fencing is enhanced through higher - quality materials and improved design. Decorative wood siding will be installed on the building’s front elevation, consistent with newer industrial developments that aim to exceed the utilitarian appearance typical of the older i ndustrial buildings in the area, most of which were constructed more than five decades ago. The proposed soccer fields are located 10 feet from the rear property line, consistent with the setback requirement for one-story structures in the I Zone. Notably, four other properties on the south side of the block also maintain setbacks at or near this distance. Finally, the Project includes new tree plantings along the southern property line to soften the visual transition between the recreational use and adjacent residential properties.

4. Existing compatibility: The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property

The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property. The subject site’s buildings are currently vacant and not being utilized by tenants. The subject property neighbors a headstone manufacturer, three auto body shops, and an aircraft parts manufacturer to the east and west; a community service office, a fleet services office, a construction office to the north; and single -family residences that front on California Avenue to the south. The neighboring facilities operate mostly on week-days and peak business hours. The proposed recreational facility is anticipated to generate business outside of peak business hours and on the weekends. The Project is compatible with land use on the subject property because it provides a complementary service to customers that are visiting the existing neighboring facilities. The use is also compatible with the industrial land uses adjacent and in proximity to the subject site.

5. Future compatibility: The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located

CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

10 The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. Because this recreational use is low -impact, primarily occurs during non-business hours, and will not generate noise or traffic incompatible with industrial operations, it will not preclude future development of surrounding properties consistent with the General Plan.

Further, future uses with potential impacts typically require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and therefore would be before the Planning Commission for consideration of the cumulative impacts for the area.

6. Utilities and services: Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety

Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety. The existing industrial building provides all utilities and services connected and therefore the proposed recreational facility will not be detrimental to public health and safety. Further, the Public Works Conditions of Approval require the submission of a utility plan for City review of existing and proposed future utilities .

7. Public Access: Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use

Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use. The site has direct vehicular and pedestrian access to Joanbridge Street which is designated as a local street in the City’s General Plan; however, the facility is proximate to Maine Street, which is the predominate way residents will access the facility and this is a collector street with a large traffic volume capacity. The site’s access to streets and highways are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic ge nerated by the proposed recreational facility. The site includes adequate internal circulation and pedestrian safety features as shown through the approval of the plan by the stamp of approval from Los Angeles County Fire and by condition of approval (ff) for construction plan review through Building Plan Check.

8. General Plan consistency: The use is consistent with the General Plan

The use is consistent with the General Plan. The Project is consistent with Land Use Goal 1.0 Balanced Development in Baldwin Park, which proposes a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park. The Project brings to the I Zone a unique but compatible type of commercial activity with recreational soccer activity. The Project also complies with Land Use Policy 1.4, which is to create opportunities for two different levels of commercial development: (1) commercial uses that meet the retail and service needs of the local residents and employee populations, and (2) regional -serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a broader population base. The Project will serve the needs of local youth, drawing from the surrounding residential areas and businesses.

9. Safety and welfare: The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare

The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare. Parking is adequate for the proposed use. The facility will operate in accordance with all applicable health and safety regulations, including occupancy limits , noise restrictions, and security measures, which aree conditions of approval. Further, the active recreational use promotes healthy lifestyles for the City’s youth, which supports the general welfare.

11 PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION
As noted above, on March 26, 2025, the Planning Commission considered this application at public hearing during their regular meeting and at which time they considered the staff report and attachments presented by Planning Staff as well as written documentation and verbal testimony from the applicant, appellant, and other commenting parties.

During the course of the meeting the Planning Commission focused on some key points of the project related to hours of operation, lighting, use limitation, and parking and ultimately directed Planning Staff to amend the conditions of approval of the resolution to incorporate changes intended to prevent adverse impacts to the neighborhood. The edits have been incorporated into the resolution before the City Council and are as follows:

Condition No. New or Revised Language Explanation
(d) Condition added to specify age restriction. The condition reads, “Training shall be limited to individuals between the ages of 5 to 17 years; and”
(e) Condition added to clarify that the onsite parking is for the soccer use only. It reads, “The business shall erect signage that restricts parking to patrons, their parents/guardians, and employees; and”
(i) Condition added to address concerns that the use could expand or deviate from the stated business plan. The condition reads, “The facility purposes will remain for training only and will limit uses to what is stated in the Business Plan; and” (l) Condition revised to clarify the relationship between a lighting restriction and business operations. The condition reads, “All exterior field lights for the business must be off by 10:00 PM, and training programs must stop by 9:30 PM and operations must stop by 10:00 PM.

In addition to the topics of hours of operation, lighting, use limitation, and parking, the Planning Commission inquired whether an environmental analysis had been performed to evaluate the impact the environment from the proposed use. Staff indicated that that type of analysis had not been performed as it is not required per CEQA , as explained below.

After considering all the information presented, the Planning Commission voted to approve the project with three votes to approve, one vote to deny, and one vote to abstain.

CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)/NOTICING
This project was previously presented at Planning Commission on December 13, 2023 and February 14, 2024 and at those meetings the project entitlements (including a Variance request) were accompanied by an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration. The project has been revised since that time to increase the rear setback and as a result, the Variance request has been eliminated. Without a Variance request, this project now is categorically exempt from further CEQA review under the State CEQA Guidelines section 15332, Class 32, In- Fill Development Projects. A memorandum supporting the City’s reliance on the Class 32 exemption, along with technical studies analyzing air quality, no ise, transportation, and water quality, has been reviewed and accepted by the City, a copy of which is attached to this report as Attachment #11.

The proposed Project is categorically exempt from CEQA per the Class 32 (In-Fill Development Projects) set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15332 for the following reasons:

1. The Project constitutes in-fill development;

CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

12 2. The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with all applicable zoning designations and regulations; the Project is consistent with the General Industrial land use designation set forth in the City’s General Plan and the Industrial zoning designation set forth in the City’s Zoning Ordinance. Indoor and outdoor recreational facilities are an acceptable use under both the General Industrial land use designation and Industrial zoning designation.

3. The Project occurs within city limits on a project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses. The Project is located entirely within the City of Baldwin Park, consists of approximately 0.60 acres, and is located in an urban se tting bounded by industrial uses to the west and east, single -family residential uses to the south, and industrial uses to the north.

4. The Project site is fully developed and located in a developed, urban area, surrounded by commercial, industrial, and residential uses. Because of these conditions, the Project site does not provide any suitable habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.

5. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; analysis has been conducted to ensure the Project does not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air qual ity, and water quality, including the following: Air Quality Impact Analysis, Noise Impact Analysis, Transportation Vehicle Miles Traveled Screening Memorandum, and Water Quality Technical Report, all of which were reviewed and accepted by the City. (See Attachment 14.)

6. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services; the Project site is currently serviced by all required utilities, including but not limited to electricity, natural gas, water, wastewater, solid waste generation, fire protection, police protection, schools, recreation and parks, and libraries and therefore will remain adequately serviced.

In addition, none of the exceptions to the categorical exemption as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 applies:

1. There is no possibility of a cumulative impact of the same type of project in the same place over time. The Project proposes to develop a recreational facility. There is no foreseeable successive project at this site and there is no possibility of a cumula tive impact from this same type of project in this area over time. There are no planned development project areas located within a 0.5 -mile radius of the Project site. The Project is also consistent with planning and zoning designations for the site and will be consistent with local and regional planning documents. Thus, for these reasons, the Project will not have the potential to contribute to a local or regional significant cumulative impact.

CP 23-05 and PR 23-21
14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St

13 2. The Project is not marked by unusual circumstances that would create a reasonable possibility of significant effects on the environment. There is nothing unusual about the development of a recreational facility that is zoned for this type of use with a conditional use permit. The site is surrounded by industrial, commercial and residential uses and the Project will serve as a recreational facility for residents within the Project area.

3. The Project site is not located within, or visible from, a State Scenic Highway, and the Project will thus not result in damage to scenic resources, within a state scenic highway.

4. The Project site is not located on a site that is included on any list compiled pursuant to Government Code section 65962.5.

5. Finally, the Project would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource.

Based on the performed studies and analysis contained within Attachment 14, the Project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to the Class 32 exemption, and no further environmental review is required. If the Project is approved, a Notice of Exemption will be filed with the County Clerk’s Office and State Clearinghouse with in 5 working days of such approval.

SECTION 4. The City Council does hereby adopt the following Findings of Fact applicable to all conditional use permits:

CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT

May 7, 2025

Page 4 ends

(a) Conditionally permitted. The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. The Project is located in the Industrial (“I”) Zone. The I Zone provides areas for the development of industries engaged in general assembly, manufacturing and processing, and support commercial uses. Section 153.050.020 of the Municipal Code conditionally permits recreational facilities (soccer facility) in the I Zone with an approval by the City’s Planning Commission . The Project complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of the Municipal Co de because the I Zone was established to meet the commerce and service needs of the resident and business communities in the City, as stated in Section 153.050.0100 of the Municipal Code. The Project will provide service-oriented uses that serve both local residents and businesses, because it will offer recreation opportunities to residents and nearby employees . Furthermore, the Project will occupy a large tenant space that is currently vacant, further promoting commercial activity in the I Zone, as intended by the Municipal Code ; and

(b) Zone integrity and character. The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located. The Project is located within the I Zone, which allows for uses that provide a broad range of retail, office, and service - oriented commercial uses designed to meet the needs of both the local and residential and business communities. The Project is substantially comparable to existing uses in the I Zone. The Project promotes the integrity and character of the I Zone because the Project will occupy a large tenant space that is currently vacant, which will activate a long-vacant tenant space with a low-impact recreational use that draws visitors primarily on evenings and weekends, complementing the industrial uses during off -peak hours..

Therefore, an indoor/outdoor soccer training facility at the subject location compliments the integrity and character of the zone; and

(c) Site suitability. The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed. The onsite circulation has been reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, confirming that it meets applicable functionality and safety standards. Traffic and c irculation associated with the P roject were also analyzed by a qualified traffic engineer as part of the Categorical Exemption Report, which concluded that the project would not result i n any significant impacts. The Project provides 39 on -site parking spaces, which exceeds both the minimum required by the Municipal Code and the anticipated demand, as de termined through review of the Applicant’s business plan. To further address parking and circulation concerns, a condition of approval has been included requiring the applicant to submit a plan to manage onsite queuing and vehicle idling, in order to prevent offsite impacts. With respect to neighborhood compatibility, the proposed fields and parking area incorporate architectural and site planning features that promote visual integration with the surrounding area. Decorative black screening and fencing will wrap the fields and parking area. While consistent with other industrial properties on the block that also employ fencing, the proposed fencing is enhanced through higher -quality materials and improved design. Decorative wood siding will be installed on the building’s front elevation, consistent with newer industrial developments that aim to exceed the utilitarian appearance typical of the older industrial buildings in the area, most of which were constructed more than five decades ago. The proposed soccer fields are located 10 feet from the rear property line, consistent with the setback requirement for one-story structures in the I Zone. Notably, four other properties on the south side of the block also maintain setbacks at or near this dista nce. Finally, the P roject includes new tree plantings along the southern property line to soften the visual transition between the recreational use and adjacent residential properties; and May 7, 2025

Page 5 ends

(d) Existing compatibility. The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property. The subject site’s buildings are currently vacant and not being utilized by tenants . The subject property neighbors a headstone manufacturer, three auto body shops, and an aircraft parts manufacturer to the east and west; a community service office, a fleet services office, a construction office to the north; and single -family residences that front on California Avenue to the south . The neighboring facilities operate mostly on week -days and peak business hours. The proposed recreational facility is anticipated to generate business outside of peak business hours and on the weekends. The Project is compatible with land use on the subject property because it provides a compl ementary service to customers that are visiting the existing neighboring facilities. The use is also compatible with the industrial land uses adjacent and in proximity to the subject site; and

(e) Future compatibility. The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. Because this recreational use is low -impact, primarily occurs during non - business hours, and will not generate noise or traffic incompatible with industrial operations, it will not preclude future development of surrounding properties consistent with the General Plan .. Further, f uture uses with potential impacts typically require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and therefore would be before the Planning Commission for consideration of the cumulative impacts for the area; and

(f) Utilities and services. Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety. The existing industrial building provides all utilities and services connected and therefore the proposed recreational facility will not be detrimental to public health and safety . Further, the Public Works Conditions of Approval require the submission of a utility plan for City review of existing and proposed future utilities (Public Works Condition of Approval E.3); and

(g) Public Access. Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use. The site has direct vehicular and pedestrian access to Joanbridge Street which is designated as an local street in the City’s General Pla n; however, the facility is proximate to Maine Street, which is the predominate way residents will access the facility and this is a collector street with a large traffic volume capacity . The site’s access to streets and highways are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic generated by the proposed recreational facility . The site includes adequate internal circulation and pedestrian safety features as shown through the approval of the plan by the stamp of approval from Los Angeles County Fire and by condition of approval (ff) for construction plan review through Building Plan Check; and

(h) General Plan consistency. The use is consistent with the General Plan.

The Project is consistent with Land Use Goal 1.0 Balanced Development in Baldwin Park, which proposes a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park. The Project brings to the I Zone a unique but compatible type of commercial activity with recreational soccer activity . The Project also complies with Land Use Policy 1.4 , which is to c reate opportunities for two different levels of commercial development: (1) commercial uses that meet the retail and service needs of the local residents and employee populations, and (2) regional -serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a broader population base . The Project will serve both local youth and adult recreation needs, drawing from the surrounding May 7, 2025

Page 6 ends

residential areas and businesses; and

(i) Safety and welfare. The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare. Parking is adequate for the proposed use.. The facility will operate in accordance with all applicable health and safety regulations, including occupancy limits, noise restrictions, and security measures, which will be ensured in conditions of approval. . Further, the active recreational use promotes healthy lifestyles for the City’s youth, which supports the general welfare.

5 February 1, 2024 Comments
February 1, 2024

Arguments against the adoption of Resolution PC 23-28 which would grant approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit CP 23-05, Zoning Variance ZV 23-01, and PR 23- 21, as was discussed in the December 13, 2023, City of Baldwin Park Planning Commission meeting Staff Report, to be submitted as part of the Public Administrative Record of the Resolutions action mentioned above.

Planning Commission staff report: Discussion (pg. 2)
Request: Conditional Use Permit “to allow for a recreational facility (indoor/outdoor soccer facility) within an existing commercial complex.”

Public Comment: the proposed location are two industrial lots on Joanbridge Street in an industrial zone. The lots are not zoned commercial nor are they in any type of a complex.
(see Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Map exhibit A this document)

Staff Report (pg. 2): Zone Variance request for deviation from the minimum ten-foot (10’) side and rear yard setback requirement in the I zone to allow for “larger soccer fields on the second floor” and to “improve the practicality” of the project.

Public Comment: the minimum required rear yard setback for new construction in the Industrial zone and situated next to an existing residential zone is twenty- feet (20’). (see Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.05.030) A zone variance is not the vehicle to ensure the profitability or practicality of a business.

Staff Report (pg. 2): “The proposal includes a complete remodel of the existing unit on Parcel 1 and the demolition of the building on Parcel 2. The proposed ground floor layout will consist of one (1) new indoor ground level soccer field of 3,825-square feet in size, a meeting room, men and women restrooms, and a gym room within the remodeled building. A 39-stall parking structure will be built surrounding the building which will include a trash enclosure, additional mem and women restrooms, and staircases and an elevator to access the second floor.”

“The second floor of the remodeled building will include a meeting room, four (4) offices, a kitchen, restroom, one soccer field of 2,314-square feet in size.

The second floor above the parking area will have three (3) outdoor soccer fields on the second floor ranging from 3,410-square feet to 3,770 square feet.”

Public comment:
6 • No discussion of the fact that the twenty-five foot (25’) tall and one hundred fifty foot (150’) wide structure is proposed to cover all of the 150’ width of the lot. This is a proposed Lot Coverage of 84% when the Municipal Code Lot Coverage requirement is for 50% Lot Coverage (see Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.05.030)
• No discussion of the fact that the proposed Floor Area Ratio of the project is .88 when the maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio .75 (see Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use FAR Exhibit D this document ) • no discussion of the fact that 152 parking stalls are required, but only 39 parking stalls are proposed (see Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.150.040)

Staff Report: “As a condition of approval, the applicant will also be required to install mature trees and plants to soften the south elevation and created (sic) an additional barrier between current residential properties abutting the soccer facility.” Pg.3

Public Comment: no discussion or explanation as to how mature trees and plants will fit into, and be able to grow in, the requested narrow five-foot (5’) south rear yard setback.

Staff Report (Pg.3): Business Operations Plan and Hours of Operation “Conditions have been included in the Planning Commission Resolution (Attachment #1) to address issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents. These include restrictions on the maximum number of students present for instruction during any given time, property maintenance standards to limit and deter graffiti on exterior walls.”

Public Comment: As you have probably already noticed, Planning Commission Resolution, Attachment #1. is the Resolution of the Mitigation Negative Declaration Resolution PC 23-29. This Resolution has only THREE (3) Conditions of approval.

TCR-1 Retain a Native American Monitor prior to ground disturbing activities TCR-2 Unanticipated Discovery of Tribal Cultural Resources Objects TCR-3 Unanticipated Discovery of Human Remains

None of which address restrictions on the maximum number of students present for instruction during any given time, property maintenance standards to limit and deter graffiti on exterior walls.

Attachment #2 Resolution of Approval – PC 23-28 would be the place to look for restrictions to “address issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents”, such as: maximum number of students present for instruction during any given time, hours of operation, operating standards like noise, traffic, parking.

Unfortunately, none of those conditions exist there either.

7 The conditions that somewhat pertain to “issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents” and that are listed and say:
(c) 2 staff at all times;
(d) activities must be held on site;
(e) No walk-ins, members only;
(f) no tournaments;
(g) no alcohol sold (I guess it can be consumed but not sold); (h) Music indoors only, noise study at later date, subject to noise limit; (i) light study at later date;
(j) field lights off by 10 PM.

If approved as written and presented, Resolution of Approval – P C 23-28 would allow the developers to construct whatever kind of Recreational Facility (indoor/outdoor soccer facility) they want within 5 feet of a residential neighborhood, regardless of what is discussed at the review hearing. Even though the site plans and elevations may be discussed, there are no Conditions of Approval requiring that the applicant shall be required to build a soccer complex facility according to those plans; no Conditions of Approval that the constructed soccer complex facility will resemble the submitted site or elevation plans what-so-ever.

• There are no Conditions of Approval limiting the soccer complex to a so-called soccer training school; no Condition of Approval that would prohibit soccer games for all ages except that the facility Is for members only: “all participants shall be enrolled in a training program (Condition #e).

• There are no Condition of Approval to limit the hours of operation to those stated in the staff report, which means that all-day and all-night play would be available, as long as the “exterior field lights go off at 10 pm” (Condition #j). Play can continue without “exterior field lights” without restrictions.

• There are no Conditions of Approval limiting the ages of the soccer players to students aged 5 – 17; no Conditions of Approval that will limit the size of the soccer teams or the frequency of the games, except that there can be “no tournaments.”

• There are no Conditions of Approval requiring a specific number of parking spaces. The applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces while the Baldwin Park Municipal Code requires 152 spaces for a commercial recreational use. The size of the site plan will not accommodate the size of the proposed soccer complex with 152 parking spaces included.

• There are no Conditions of Approval from the City Departments, listed below, because they have not been requested by staff to review the submitted proposal, even though Municipal Code Section 153.210.090 states: Application materials 8 shall be circulated to other city departments and agencies for review and comment as determined necessary or appropriate by the City Planner. Planning Division staff shall be responsible for requesting and incorporating comments into project modifications or conditions of approval to ensure conformance with all provisions of this code and other adopted policies and plans. • All Conditions of Approval included in the Resolution of Approval PC 23-28, regarding the following Divisions are “place holder” conditions to postpone the project review by these Departments until after the Planning Commission has already approved the project, leaving no Planning Commission or public oversight.
• No Building Division review of photometric plans (for light and glare); • No Engineering Division Review (for retaining wall grading, undergrounding utilities)
• No Fire Department Review regarding increased fire and paramedic calls for service
• No Police Department Review (for increased disturbance, noise and light glare nuisance calls)
• No Public Works Department Review (for traffic circulation issues) • No Landscaping Review
The Planning Commission is being asked to be responsible for approving a project that is not consistent with Baldwin Park General Plan, the spirit of the law, and in direct conflict with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code, which is the direct rules of law.

The following sections of the Staff Report apply to the legal requirements of any project requiring approval by the Planning Commission. I apologize that the comments are so very detailed, but that is because, as I said in my letter to you on December 12, 2023 before the first scheduled Public Hearing for this Project on December 13, 2023, it is required that any issue I would need to bring up the Baldwin Park City Council to appeal any Planning Commission decision or any issue that I would want to address in a court of law in lawsuit, would need to be detailed in my comments to you. Also, the Planning Commission should have all the facts and details so they can make an informed decision

Planning Commission staff report (pg.3): General Plan Consistency 153.200.200 CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN
REQUIRED. (A) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this code or any rule or regulation of the city, but subject to the non-conforming use provisions of this subchapter, no permit of any kind shall be issued by or on behalf of the city for any use, building, structure, or business which is not consistent with the city’s General Plan, as adopted on November 20, 2002.

Planning Commission staff report states:
9 “The project site is designated as “General Commercial” in the City of Baldwin Park General Plan The proposed project is consistent with the following General Plan goals and policies.”
Comment: The project site is not designated General Commercial in the City of Baldwin Park General Plan; it is designated General Industrial. (Exhibit A)

Land Use Goal1.0 Bal anced Development in Baldwin Park. Maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park.

Comment: Simply listing the definition of a Land Use Goal or Policy does not support the contention that the particular goal or policy is being met.

Re
garding Land Use Goal1.0, the staff report doesn’t clarify how constructing a 5- soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields, creating new increased noise levels, creating new light/glare, creating new increased trash, creating increased traffic and parking problems, all next to an existing residential use, is a “Balanced Development.” The intention of Land Use Goal 1.0, that is, to “maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park” is not to locate a nuisance-generating, commercial use directly next to an existing residential use. If that was the intention of the Baldwin Park General Plan, then the Baldwin Park Municipal Code would allow a commercial recreational facility in a residential zone, which it does not.

Regarding Land Use Policy 1.4, “C
reate opportunities for two different levels of
commercial development”; the subject site is located in an Industrial zone, not in a zone created for commercial uses or commercial development. Further, the Industrial zone properties are zoned ‘Industrial’, so as to provide the City of Baldwin Park with manufacturing uses to generate a manufacturing tax base of income for the City. The proposed soccer complex facility use will not generate any commercial sales tax revenue for the City and will actually be fiscally detriment to the City by removing two (2) tax-generating industrial properties from the City’s tax rolls and replacing them with one commercial use which will actually increase the calls for Police, Fire and Code Enforcement service through complaints, injuries, and nuisance disturbances to the residential homes. Therefore, the proposed use is not consistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Policy 1.4.

Re
garding Land Use Policy 1.4 (2) regional-serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a broader population base”: the proposed commercial recreation, 5 soccer field soccer complex project is not an industrial or retail use, and therefore would not generate any tax dollars for the City, but it probably would “draw from a broader population base” such as soccer players from the Los Angeles area, who would be willing and able to drive all the way out to Baldwin Park to play at a 10 boutique 5x5 – soccer style complex facility, which would not be allowed to operate in their own west side Cities, because of the negative impacts

Therefore, based on the above statements, the proposed project is not consistent with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan. See Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 7. in this document for further discussion on General Plan Inconsistency.

153.200.200 CONSISTENCY WITH GENERAL PLAN
REQUIRED. (A) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this code or any rule or regulation of the city, but subject to the non-conforming use provisions of this subchapter, no permit of any kind shall be issued by or on behalf of the city for any use, building, structure, or business which is not consistent with the city’s General Plan, as adopted on November 20, 2002.

FINDINGS OF FACT - Conditional Use Permit CP 23-05 (pg. 4)

The applicant is requesting that the City of Baldwin Park approved a Conditional Use Permit to allow the construction and operation of an indoor and outdoor soccer facility complex in the Industrial (I) zone.

Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.210.450
“The city recognizes that certain uses, due to the nature of the use, intensity or size, require special review to determine if the use proposed, or the location of that use, is compatible with surrounding uses, or through the imposition of development and use conditions, can be made compatible with surrounding uses. The conditional use permit is provided for this purpose and to ensure compatibility with zoning regulations and surrounding properties. “

Baldwin Park Municipal 153.210.090 (B)
“All applications for land use and development permits and actions shall be submitted to City Planner on a city application form, together with all fees, plans, maps, data, diagrams, photographs and any other required information to provide the Approving Authorities with adequate information on which to base decisions.”

Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.210.090 (D)
“The Recommending or Approving Authority, as designated in Table 153.210.020, shall prepare a written report that includes recommendation on the approval, conditional approval or disapproval of the application, taking into account all supplemental application information, provisions of this chapter, other applicable provisions of this code, the General Plan and applicable state law

CP-23-05 Findings of Facts (pg.4)

Finding of Fact (1) Conditionally permitted. The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

Planning Commission staff report states:
“The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code. Section 153.050.020 of the Commercial Zoning code conditionally permits recreational facilities (soccer facility) with an approval by the City’s Planning Commission”

This Finding of Fact (1) has not been made with this statement.

This Finding of Fact applies to compliance of the proposed soccer complex use with the entire City of Baldwin Park Zoning Code Chapter 153, not just section 153.050.020 (Use Regulations). This means that there are requirements in the Zoning Code Chapter that this application for a soccer complex facility is required to meet. However, this particular application does not meet some of these requirements and it entirely ignores other requirements. These unaddressed requirements pertain to the Land Uses Standards and Developmental Standards, such as: Parking requirements, Traffic/Circulation requirements, Noise Restrictions, Light/glare restrictions. Lot coverage restrictions and Setback Requirements.

A.Type of Proposed Use
There seems to be some confusion regarding the actual proposed use classification.

The project Initial Study (Exhibit IS) identifies the project as a “Soccer Training Facility with gym”. In the application letter, the project applicant calls the project “a soccer complex.” (Exhibit B)

The staff report calls the project a “recreational facility (indoor-outdoor soccer facility)”, however, staff has set the number of required parking spaces for the project at 39 spaces, based on an “Educational Institutions (b) elementary and secondary -private” use.”

The category of “Recreational facilities / Outdoor Facilities” would be the most appropriate designation as it would identify the unique, primary issue before the Planning Commission. This primary issue is, of course, the incompatibility and 12 intrusiveness of the proposed soccer complex’s 4 elevated, 25-foot-tall outdoor soccer fields, directly adjacent residential homes use.

Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.010.020 (Purpose): “This Zoning Code is established to regulate the use of land within the city in an orderly manner consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Baldwin Park General Plan and to protect the public health, safety, comfort, welfare and general prosperity of the city and its residents through classifying, designating, regulating and restricting the use of land, buildings and structures.”

Per Table 153.050.020 Permitted Uses: Recreational Facilities such as “Health Clubs/gymnasiums”, or “Indoor facilities”, or “Outdoor facilities” may be permitted with a Conditional Use Permit in the Industrial zone. However, schools or “Educational Institutions, elementary and secondary (private) are not permitted in the Industrial Land Use zone under any circumstances. Therefore, the required number of Parking Spaces must be based on the allowed “Recreational Use” not on the illegal school use.

Therefore, the question is: Is this an application for an “Educational Institution /elementary and secondary (private) use” requiring 13 parking spaces with applicant proposing 39 parking spaces; or is the application for a commercial Recreation facilities Health club and gymnasium/Outdoor Facilities use, which is allowed in the Industrial zone, but requires 152 parking spaces?

13 Without this clarification, the application before the Planning Commission does not comply with the intent of this applicable provision of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code chapter. The application needs to be clarified as to what the applicant is exactly proposing before the Planning Commission can even review the proposed project.

Therefore, since the proposed type proposed to operate on the industrial-zoned site is unknown (Recreation facilities Health club and gymnasium/Outdoor Facilities use vs Educational Institution), Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made that the proposed use complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

B. Required Number of Parking Spaces
Baldwin Park Municipal Code Chapter 153.150.040 Number of Parking Spaces. The minimum number of required parking spaces for a “Commercial Recreation Health / Fitness Club” designated use is based on the square footage of the entire building area, in this case: 22,888 square feet per the submitted site plan (Exhibit C). For each 150 square feet of building, one parking space is required, which in this case equals one hundred and fifty-two (152) parking spaces (see Table 153.150.040 below).

The submitted soccer complex application is proposing an insufficient thirty-nine (39) parking spaces (Exhibit C). This is erroneously based on an “Educational Institution /elementary and secondary (private) use”. An “Educational Institution /elementary and secondary (private) use” is not allowed in the industrial zone and therefore, the proposed number of parking spaces is based on a Use which is not even allowed in the Industrial zone.

Table 153.150.040 Required Number of Parking Spaces

b. 1 space/employee, plus 1 space/2
students in 11

c. 1 space/35 square feet devoted to
instructional services plus 1 space per
classroom (468 spaces required)

14 Therefore, since the proposed project will require 152 parking spaces and the applicant is only providing 39 parking spaces, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

The Development Standards have two separate and distinct requirements regarding the size of a proposed structure to be constructed in the Industrial zone: a Lot Coverage requirement and Floor Area Ratio (FAR) requirement. Baldwin Park Municipal Code Chapter 153

C. Lot Coverage
Baldwin Park Municipal Code Chapter 153.040.030 deals with Site Development Standards requirements. The maximum amount of lot coverage in the Industrial zone allowed is 50%. The submitted soccer complex application is proposing a maximum lot coverage of 84%.

Lot coverage - maximum 50% 50% 50% 50% 50%

The existing building is to remain with a footprint of 6,813 square foot building, per page. T-1.0 of the submitted architectural plans (Exhibit C). The remaining area of the site will be almost completely covered by the 15,254 square foot second level supporting the four (4) elevated outdoor soccer fields, per page T-1.1 of the submitted site plans (Exhibit C).

Only a minimal 5-foot setback from the side and rear property lines and the area above the required “Fire Lane Parking” are planned to be left uncovered resulting in a proposed 84% lot coverage.

Per page T-1.0 of the submitted site plan (Exhibit C):

Combined Lot size = 26,244 sq. ft.

Proposed structure square footage is
6813 sq. ft existing building + 15,254 sq.ft. second level concrete slab structure for soccer fields and covered parking = 22,067 sq.ft.
15 22,067 sqft.total structure / 26,244 sq. ft. lot size = 0.84 or 84% lot coverage

• Note. The submitted site plans (Exhibit C). erroneously identifies the Lot Coverage as 25%. This 25% lot coverage calculation is based on the demolition of the existing building on 14424 Joanbridge Street, leaving the square footage of only the remaining 6813 square foot. building on 14412 Joanbridge Street.
6813 sq.ft. existing building / 26,244 sq.ft. total lot size = .259 or 25% Lot coverage is calculated on the proposed entire structure proposed to be built.

Therefore, since the allowable Lot Coverage in the Industrial zone is 50% and the proposed soccer complex facility Lot Coverage is 84%, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter, specifically Lot Coverage.

D. Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the proposed soccer complex facility is larger than the allowable FAR for projects in the General Industrial land use designation area.

The project site is designated General Industrial per the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Map (Exhibit A). Therefore, the maximum allowable Floor Area Ratio (FAR) for the project site is 0.75 FAR per the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Table LU-1 Land Use Designations, below.

General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: Land Use Intensity/Density (LU-23) “Table LU-1 lists each of the land use designations for the City and provides a corresponding indication of the maximum intensity / density of development on that parcel. Maximum allowable development on individual parcels of land is to be governed by these measures of intensity or density.” (Exhibit D)

Table LU-1 Land Use Designations
Land Use Designation Maximum Permitted
Density or Intensity Floor
Area Ratio ( FAR)
Average Density or
Intensity in FAR
(Floor Area Ratio)
Commercial-Industrial 1.00 FAR 0.30 FAR
General Industrial 0.75 FAR 0.45 FAR

Per Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Designations, page LU-23: “State General Plan law requires a limit on the maximum permitted intensity of land use. For non- residential uses the floor-area ratio or FAR is used. The FAR describes the relationship between the total building area on a property and the size of the property. For example, a 10,000 square foot building on a 20,000 square foot lot yields an FAR of 0.5. Or given a FAR limit of 1.0 and a 20,000-square-foot lot, the maximum permitted building square footage would be 20,000 square feet.” (Exhibit D)

The subject property is 26,244 sq.ft. and using the 0.75 FAR, the maximum permitted building square footage would be 19,683 sqft
The total proposed building square footage being proposed is 23,529 sq.ft. 16 (6,625 sq.ft. [building first floor] + 1,650 sq.ft [building second floor] + 15,254 sq.ft. [concrete building slab for elevated soccer fields] = 23,529 sq.ft.)

The maximum permitted building square footage for the proposed project site with a .75 FAR is 9,683 sq.ft. of total building area.

The applicant is proposing a larger building of 23,259 sq.ft., which is a 0.88 FAR.

Since the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of the proposed soccer complex facility is larger than the allowable FAR for projects in the General Industrial land use designation area and since the proposed size of the soccer complex facility is not consistent with the City of Baldwin Park, the proposed soccer complex facility is not allowed and therefore, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter, specifically Floor Area Ratio (FAR).

E. Setbacks
Baldwin Park Municipal Code Chapter Sections 153.050.030(A)2 and Table 153.050.030 of the Municipal Code, require a twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback for new construction in the Industrial zone, when the rear yard setback abuts an existing residential use as it does in the proposed soccer complex facility. This is “to protect the adjacent residential homes from detrimental health and safety risks.”

Table 153.050.030 Development Standards for Commercial and Industrial Zones Development Standards NC GC FC I-C I

Regulations
Rear yard setback - minimum
lot adjacent to a residentially zoned lot

10 ft

Lot coverage - maximum 50% 50% 50% 50% 50%

The submitted soccer complex application is proposing a five-foot (5’) rear yard setback, for the four (4) new 25-foot tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields. Therefore, the proposed soccer complex facility does not meet Zoning Code Chapter Sections 153.050.030(A)(2) and Table 153.050.030 (of the Municipal Code Section and may not be constructed in the Industrial zone.

Therefore, since the required rear yard setback is twenty feet (20’) and the applicant is proposing a rear yard setback of five feet (5’) Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.
17 F. Noise
General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Requi re that multi-family, commercial and industrial development provide adequate buffers (such as decorative walls and landscaped setbacks) at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.020 Performance Standards The performance standards in this subchapter shall apply to all new construction, renovation and alteration of existing uses or structures in all zone districts. Buildings and land uses shall not be used or constructed if they create a dangerous, noxious, fire, explosive or other hazard; noise or vibration; smoke, dust, odor, air pollution or glare; or liquid or solid wastes in amounts that adversely affect surrounding areas. These standards shall be applied in addition to the development standards required for each zone.

Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.070 (A) “The regulations in this section aim to prohibit unnecessary, excessive and annoying noises from all sources, as certain noise levels are detrimental to the health and welfare of individuals. The standards apply to all land uses in all zones unless otherwise specified.”

Baldwin Park Municipal 153.140.070 NOISE (B) “Noise shall be measured with a sound level meter that meets the standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Section S1.4-1979, Type 1 or Type 2). The unit of measure shall be designated as a decibel (dBA). Noise levels shall be measured in dBA at the property line of the receptor property and at least four feet above the ground and five feet from the nearest structure or wall. Where a boundary or wall exists, the measurement shall be made on the receptor property. A calibration check shall be made of the instrument at the time any noise measurement is made and at least four feet above the ground and five feet from the nearest structure or wall.”
In the case of the proposed soccer complex facility, any valid residential noise levels are therefore required to be taken on the receptor properties, which are the rear yards of those residential properties directly south and adjacent to the subject Industrial property’s rear lot line.” (Exhibit N)

18 Baldwin Park Municipal 153.140.070 NOISE (C).”Exterior noise standards.(1) No person shall create or allow the creation of noise that causes the exterior noise level to exceed the noise standards set forth in Table 153.140.070 (C).” See Table below.

As shown in Table 153.140.070 (C), above, the loudest allowable noise levels to be received by and recorded in a residential zone are:
55 dbA decibels during the Day (7 am – 7 pm)
50 dbA decibels during the Evening (7pm – 10 pm)
45 dbA decibels during the Night (10 pm – 7 am).

General Plan Noise Element NE12: “A n Acoustical Analysis will be required for projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors.”

An acoustical analysis Noise Monitoring Field Report, (Exhibit N) as shown below w as commissioned and submitted by the applicant as a requirement of the CEQA review for the proposed elevated soccer fields complex and included in the Initial Study attached to this proposal (Exhibit IS). However, although the Noise Monitoring Field Report was submitted to the Planning Commission as part of the Initial Study for their review , the Noise Monitoring Field Report was not provided to the Planning Commission and was not discussed in the staff report to the Planning Commission. The Resolution of Approval for the proposed project does not contain any Conditions of Approval specifically requiring the applicant to meet the Noise standards of the residential areas adjacent to the proposed soccer complex facility site.

The soccer complex noise levels were measured at Lab5 Pacoima, www.Lab5.com which was provided by the applicant as an example of an existing soccer complex facility similar to the proposed soccer complex facility. The Lab5 Soccer facility was identified by the applicant, as a good example of the noise levels generated by a soccer facility complex similar to the one they are proposing.

The noise levels measured at the Lab5 soccer complex location were taken on a Wednesday night in January (1/25/23). The noise recorded was:
an average noise level of 64.3 dBA (day), maximum noise level of 91.8 dBA (day) and an average noise level of 60.5 dBA (evening), maximum 78.3 dBA (evening).

The table below comparing the City of Baldwin Park Residential Noise Standards and the applicant’s Noise Study clearly shows that the average noise levels generated by the soccer complex facility exceed the allowable noise levels in a residential zone by 9.3 – 10.5 decibels. The maximum noise generated by Lab5 facility exceeded the allowable noise levels in a Baldwin Park residential zone by 28.3 - 36.8 decibels. Remembering that In the case of the proposed soccer complex facility, the Noise levels generated by the soccer complex facility are to be compared to the allowable of noise that may be received by the residential property, per Baldwin Park Municipal 153.140.070 NOISE (B. cited above.

The proposed soccer complex facility will therefore generate noise during both day and the evening hours of operation substantially above the allowed levels for a new use in an Industrial zone abutting an existing residential Zone thus making the proposed soccer complex facility not allowed to be constructed at the proposed location, per 20 Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.020 Performance Standards, noted above, which states: “Buildings and land uses shall not be used or constructed if they create a dangerous, noxious, fire, explosive or other hazard; noise an illegal use at the proposed location.”

In addition, the generated noise was measured on a cold winter night when attendance is low at the soccer complex facility. No noise measurements were taken on a sunny spring or summer weekend day, when the attendance at a soccer complex facility would be very much higher and the noise generated also very much higher.

Per the applicant’s Noise Monitoring Field Report, there were no noise level measurements taken on the receptor properties, which are the rear yards of those residential properties directly south and adjacent to the subject Industrial property’s rear lot line, as required by Baldwin Park Municipal 153.140.070 NOISE (B). However, a noise reading was taken in the street on California Avenue in front of affected residences. (Exhibit N)

• Note: The Noise Monitoring Field Report was prepared as support for the Initial Study Environmental Checklist and draft Mitigated Negative Declaration submitted for this project. Although the Initial Study Noise Monitoring Field Report clearly shows that the proposed soccer complex facility will generate noise during both day and the evening hours of operation substantially above the allowed levels for a new use in an Industrial zone abutting an existing residential zone, on page 80 the Initial Study states; “As demonstrated in Table 14, the proposed exterior soccer noise levels would not exceed the daytime or evening exterior noise standards established in the City’s Noise Element or Section 153.140.017 of the Municipal Code.” There is no “Table 14” included in the Noise section of the Initial Study and this statement is false as clearly shown above.

Therefore, since the noise generated by the proposed soccer complex facility will exceed the allowable noise levels to be received by a residential property in a residential zone located adjacent to an Industrial zone, as shown on the Noise Monitoring Field Report which was submitted as part of the Initial Study for the project, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

G. Light and Glare
Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.020 Performance Standards “The performance standards in this subchapter shall apply to all new construction, renovation and alteration of existing uses or structures in all zone districts. Buildings and land uses shall not be used or constructed if they create a dangerous, noxious, fire, explosive or other hazard; noise or vibration; smoke, dust, odor, air pollution or glare; or liquid or solid wastes in amounts that adversely affect surrounding areas. These standards shall be applied in addition to the development standards required for each zone.”
21 General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Requi re that multi-family, commercial and industrial development provide adequate buffers (such as decorative walls and landscaped setbacks) at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

Per
page A-1.3 of the submitted site plan, the applicant is proposing to use the existing six-foot-high concrete masonry wall along the southern perimeter of the Project Site and a meager and skinny, 5-foot landscape strip behind the wall. as a buffer. However, since the project wall at that location is 25’ tall and 150’ wide, any external field flood lights will be located above the 6-foot-tall wall, therefore rendering the buffer ineffective. In addition, the project site is directly adjacent to a residential homes neighborhood, which has a lower grade than the industrial properties, making these homes considerably lower than the project site. The 6-foot-tall existing block wall and the skinny, 5-foot landscape strip behind the wall are insufficient to protect the residents in the adjacent homes from the light and glare that the proposed soccer complex facility will generate. Also, one of the residences directly abutting the project site is the home a 30-year special needs son of the property owners (a son who has seizures triggered by loud noise and light glare) making the proposed 6’ tall wall an inadequate and ineffective buffer.

In addition, photos of
existing outdoor soccer complex facility lights were taken at the Lab5 Gardena soccer complex, which was used by the applicant as an example of a similar existing soccer complex facility for the noise study. similar to the proposed soccer complex facility (Exhibit L, Lab5 Pacoima and Gardena site photos). These photos show the type of lighting generally used to provide outdoor light bright enough to play nighttime outdoor sports safely. These over-sized, existing light standards extend far beyond the existing Gardena Lab 5 soccer complex fences and are very large. The submitted site plans do not show any outdoor field lighting on any of the exterior elevations as seen on pages A-1.3, A-1.4,and P-1.1 of the submitted site plans.

• Note. The location of 17 proposed second level flood lights were shown on pages E-2 of the plans for this project which were submitted to the Fire Department for their review. The height, size, wattage, light spread, glare level of the flood lights were not shown on these site plans. These site plans were not a part of the Design Review plans provided to the Planning Commission n or was the height, size, wattage, light spread, glare level of the flood light lighting fixtures discussed in the staff report, as they should have been in order to give the Planning Commission all the information needed to sufficiently review this project.

General Plan Land Use Policy 2.6: “Require that the external lighting of commercial and industrial properties be confined to the site to avoid adverse impacts on adjacent land uses due to light spillover or glare.”

22 In the required and submitted Initial Study, Mitigation Measure AES 1 (Exhibit MM), requires that “The Project Applicant shall submit additional documentation as part of the required Schematic Lighting Plan and the Applicant’s Design Review Submittal package to the City of Baldwin Park Design Review Committee for review and approval. Additional documentation shall demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions under the Project shall not result in excessive spillage. Additional documentation may include, but is not limited to, photometric site plans and or written statements of approval by the City Engineer.”

The applicant has not submitted a Schemic Lighting Plan as part of the Design Review submittal to the City of Baldwin Park There is no plan to show that the lighting at the proposed commercial soccer complex will be confined to the site as required by General Plan Land Use Policy 2.6, possibly because any lighting plan that could provide enough external lighting to illuminate the 4 elevated soccer fields for night play, would not be able to meet this policy requirement.

Ins
tead of requiring the applicant to submit a Schemic Lighting Plan, as required by Mitigation Measure AES 1., the Planning Department has instead provided Planning Design Review Condition of Approval (i), Attachment #2 Resolution of Approval – PC 23-

28. This substitute condition postpones the submittal and review of any Schemic Lighting Plan until after the Planning Commission has already rendered it s decision on the project’s Design Review; after the Planning Commission has already deliberated and determined that the proposed soccer complex facility will or will not comply with General Plan Land Use Policies 2.5, 2.6 and Municipal Code 153.140.020 cited above.

This postponement, besides being in direct conflict with Mitigation Measure AES 1, is also in direct conflict with Baldwin Park Municipal 153.020.030 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION:
“The Planning Commission shall have the following responsibilities: (C) Conditional use permits and variances. Hear and act upon applications for conditional use permits and variances.” The Planning Commission cannot “act upon” this application unless they have all the pertinent facts. Condition of Approval (i) also denies the Planning Commission and the Public the opportunity to determine if the proposed exterior flood- lights needed for night play can even meet the requirements of the Initial Study.

In
addition, the Initial Study noted that “implementation of Mitigation Measure AES -1 would reduce the Project’s impacts involving substantial light and glare to less than significant levels”, based on the specific provision that the project applic ant shall submit additional documentation as part of the required Schematic Lighting Plan and the Applicant’s Design Review submittal package”.

Without the Planning Commission being allowed to review the required Schemic Lighting Plan and without the Planning Commission’s determination that “the proposed lighting conditions under the Project shall not result in excessive spillage”, the project cannot be approved with a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact.

23 Since the light and glare that would be generated by the proposed soccer complex facility cannot be shown to be buffered or that “the proposed lighting conditions under the Project shall not result in excessive spillage”, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

Additionally, the CEQA required Schemic Lighting Plan has not been provided to the Planning Commission for review and approval, as required by Mitigation Measure AES-1, therefor the proposed project cannot be approved with a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact. Therefore, the project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter or CEQA..

H. Privacy
General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Requi re that multi-family, commercial and industrial development provide adequate buffers (such as decorative walls and landscaped setbacks) at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

The existing 6-foot-tall block wall and a skinny, 5-foot strip of landscaping are insufficient to protect the privacy of the residents in the adjacent homes as shown in the attached photos of the affected residential rear yards. (Exhibit E). The existing 6-foot-tall wall will not prevent intrusions of trash, noise and most importantly, will not prevent intrusions into every resident’s expectation of personal privacy when in their own back yard.

Not only can everyone and anyone in the parking areas easily look down into the adjacent, supposedly private, residential rear yards, but anyone and everyone standing on the 25 foot tall, elevated soccer fields can, even easier, look through the mesh screening which is proposed for the rear wall of the elevated structure, directly down into the supposedly private back yard of the adjacent residents.

It has been shown that the privacy of the adjacent residential rear yards would not be protected by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or by the proposed trees to be planted in the 5 foot meager landscape strip behind the wall, and the lack of privacy caused by the proposed soccer complex facility cannot be buffered. Therefore, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made, because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

Visual Compatibility
24 General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Require that multi-family, commercial and industrial development provide adequate buffers (such as decorative walls and landscaped setbacks) at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.” The proposed buffer wall would also be woefully entirely inadequate to protect all the residents from the 7 days-a-week noise, light and glare, or to protect their privacy or provide visual compatibility

Per
page A-1.3 and A-1.4 of the submitted site plan, the applicant is proposing to use the existing six-foot-high concrete masonry wall along the southern perimeter of the Project Site and a meager and skinny, 5-foot landscape strip behind the wall, to hide the fact that the proposed urban design of the prison- like proposed structure is in no way visually compatible with the residential neighborhood and homes located directly adjacent to the project site.

These submitted rear elevation drawings appear with deceptively large trees added to camouflage the fact that the flat, 25- foot-tall rear wall of the proposed soccer complex facility structure will be tremendously intrusive. Since the applicant is proposing only a meager and skinny, 5- foot-wide landscape buffer, the fact that the applicant is showing huge, mature 20 to 25-foot-tall trees to be planted in that small size planter strip is ludicrous and deceptive. The 5-gallon saplings, which would be the largest size tree to be able to fit in the area of a 5 foot wide landscape strip, couldn’t even be seen over the existing 6-tall block wall.

Planning Conditions of Approval (p) requires that:
“The number, variety and size of the
trees proposed on the south side of the development” (the rear property line elevation as shown on page A-1.3 and A-1.4 of the submitted site plans) “intended for screening use shall be selected appropriately to achieve this objective.” Which begs the question:

Appropriately to screen or appropriate for the miniscule size of the planting area? Unfortunately, that decision is not to be made in consultation with the Planning Commission, although the Planning Commission would be held responsible for approving a deceptive site plan rear elevation.

The
huge difference in scale and design between the proposed blocky, monolithic, prison–like, two-story soccer complex facility building, situated a mere 5 feet from the rear property line of the adjacent small, single story residential homes it is l ooming over, is unsurmountable and unacceptable.

It has been shown that the exceeding differences in scale and the visual in- compatibility of the proposed soccer complex facility with the adjacent residential homes would not be buffered by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or any plantings in the skinny landscape strip behind the wall. Therefore, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made, because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

25 Therefore, the Finding of Fact (1) Conditionally Permitted: “The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter” has not been and cannot be made because:
a. The Conditional Use requested (Recreational facility / Outdoor Facility) is not the use being used to calculate the required number of parking spaces resulting in too little parking being provided, i.e. a parking deficit, for the proposed soccer complex facility use, which does not comply with the intent of the applicable provision of Chapter 153 Baldwin Park Municipal Code; and b. The proposed number of parking spaces, 39, is less than the required number of parking spaces, which is 152; and
c. The proposed soccer complex facility does not meet the City of Baldwin Park Table 153.050.030 Development Standards for Commercial and Industrial Zones, proposing a 81% lot coverage when only a 50% lot coverage is allowed.

Therefore, the size of the proposed soccer complex structure will cover more than the allowed lot coverage and the size is not allowed; and d. The proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .88 is greater than the allowed .75 FAR. in the General Industrial designation of the General Plan. e. The submitted soccer complex application is proposing a 5-foot (5’) rear yard setback for the four (4) new 25-foot tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields when a 20-foot (20”) rear yard setback is required for new construction in the Industrial zone when the rear property line abuts an existing residential zone and neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed soccer complex facility does not meet Zoning Code Chapter Sections 153.050.030 and 153.050.030 (A)(2) of the Municipal Code Section and is not permitted to be constructed in the Industrial zone; and
f. That the noise that will be generated by the requested conditionally approved Recreational facility / Outdoor use is not in compliance with the General Plan Noise Element NE12 requiring an Acoustical analysis for proposed projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors. There was no Acoustical Analysis presented to the Planning Commission for their review and approval; and
g. That the noise that will be generated by the requested conditionally approved Recreational facility / Outdoor use is not in compliance with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter, specifically the Zoning Code Section 153.140.070 NOISE, and is in fact prohibited; and
h. That the light and glare created by the proposed twenty-five (25’) foot tall exterior flood lights of the proposed soccer complex facility cannot be shown, without a Schemic Lighting Plan as required by Mitigation Measure AES 1, to be confined to the site and will cause adverse impacts on adjacent residential land uses due to light spillover and glare; and
i. That the privacy of the adjacent residential rear yards would not be buffered or protected by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or the proposed 5 foot meager landscape strip behind the wall; and
26 j. That the differences in scale and the visual in-compatibility of the proposed soccer complex facility with the adjacent residential homes would not be buffered or protected by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or any plantings in the skinny landscape strip behind the wall. The lack of visual compatibility and exceeding differences in scale between the proposed soccer complex facility and the adjacent residential, small, single-story homes cannot be buffered.

Finding of Fact (2) Zone integrity and character. The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located. (pg.4)

Planning Commission staff report (pg4):
“The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located. The property is located within the Industrial Zone which allows for uses that provide a broad range of retail, office, and service-oriented commercial uses designed to meet the needs of both the local and residential and business communities.

Furthermore, the use will occupy a large tenant space that is currently vacant.

Therefore, an indoor/outdoor soccer training facility at the subject location compliments the integrity and character of the zone;”

The Finding of Fact has not been met that the use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located.

The proposed use will negatively impair the integrity and Industrial character of the industrial zone in which it is to be located in that it is neither a retail or office use. It also is not a “service-oriented commercial use designed to meet the needs of both the local and residential and business communities”, such as a FedEx Copy Store or Office Depot which would offer a commercial service to the local communities. Customer of the adjacent Tombstone manufacturing and sales will not be utilizing the “members only” boutique 5x5-style soccer-style complex .

The proposed recreational soccer complex is a commercial business which would be primarily used by persons willing to pay the very high membership fees of a commercial, boutique 5x5 soccer-style soccer complex facility. The proposed business not proposed to be a free or low-fee City recreational facility for residents. The soccer complex facility would not service the local Industrial business, but rather be a destination point for out- of-town soccer players who are interested in playing the 5x5 soccer style games.

Also, the proposed use will negatively impair the integrity and character of the industrial zone through increased traffic and inadequate parking, noise, trash generated and light glare. Joanbridge Street is designed to accommodate low amounts of industrial business truck and car traffic and to provide minimal on-site parking for the existing industrial use only.
27 There is no on-street parking allowed on Joanbridge Street and minimal parking is provided for each individual industrial business only. There are “no parking” and “employee only parking” signs posted at almost every business on Joanbridge Street.

The proposed soccer complex would generate a large influx of cars and people searching for on-site parking and since it is not provided on-site, the demand for on- street parking will overwhelm the already limited on-street parking areas, eliminating available parking for the existing Industrial uses and their employees and customers.

The existing industrial businesses will also be subject to increased street trash left by the patrons of the soccer complex (Exhibit L Gardena Lab5 trash photo), as well as increased noise and increased traffic generated by the proposed soccer complex.

All of these negative impacts support the fact that there are reasons that the proposed use will negatively impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (2): “The use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located” has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (3) Site suitability. The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.(pg.4)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.4)
“The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed. The subject site will maintain two driveway approaches from (sic) ingress and egress from the soccer training facility, therefore the site is suitable for a recreational facility.”

The Finding of Fact cannot be met that the subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.

The fact that the site will re-use the existing two driveways to the subject property does not make the site suitable for a soccer complex facility, primarily catering to 5x5 soccer play fans and out of town supporters.

The site is too small for the proposed soccer complex to be designed with adequate on- site circulation. The architect has been forced to use only one-way traffic circulation, which is confusing and dangerous. The site is so small that the applicant has resorted to locating the required Fire Department access route and parking area directly in the exit lane. This design will lead to confusion and blocked routes of exit for anyone on the site in the case of an emergency.

Second, the proposed over-sized soccer complex facility with 81% lot coverage also exceeds the 50% maximum lot coverage allowed by the City of Baldwin Park Municipal 28 Code Section 153.050.030 in the Industrial zone, see previous Table 153.050.030 on page 4 this document, above.

Third, the subject site is physically not suitable for the type of land use being proposed because while the existing Industrial buildings were built with the required 20-foot rear yard setbacks to protect the adjacent residential homes from detrimental health and safety risks (see 153.050.030(A)(2) and Table 153.050.030 on page 4 of this document), as required by the Municipal Code, the applicant is requesting a five foot (5’) rear yard setback because the subject site is not large enough to build the proposed soccer complex without it. This is a major setback variance of fifteen (15’) feet or 75% setback reduction. In addition, this major Variance is not explained, clarified, or presented in the applicant’s proposal.

The proposal to construct the 4 huge, 25-foot-tall elevated soccer complex facility playing fields on the second floor, to within 5 feet of the homes of Baldwin Park residents, is too big and too unsuitable for the site.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (3): “The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed” has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (4) Existing compatibility. (pg.4)The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property.

Planning Commission staff report (pg.4)
“The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property. The proposed recreational facility provides a complimentary service to customers that are visiting the existing Industrial area. The use is also compatible with the Industrial land uses adjacent and in proximity to the subject site given that the surrounding businesses are approved for indoor manufacturing and service uses.”

With the demolition of one of the existing buildings on the subject property, there will be no other land uses on the site with which to be compatible. However, regarding the staff report comments that the proposed recreational facility provides a complimentary service to customers that are visiting the existing Industrial area, a soccer complex facility has nothing to offer the customers of the adjacent tombstone manufacturer /sales business on the west side and nothing in common with the adjacent and existing auto body repair and light manufacturing businesses on the east side. The proposed soccer complex facility will only negatively affect the surrounding businesses with the increased traffic, noise and generated trash. There is no evidence that the adjacent land uses on the site are compatible of the proposed soccer complex just because adjacent uses are “approved for indoor manufacturing”.

29 The Finding of Fact has not been met that the project use, a 5 soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields and one inside soccer field, is compatible with any land use presently on the subject property.

In addition, the applicant is proposing to re-use the remaining existing 2-story building in a manner which is incompatible with its originally designed industrial use. The increased hours of operation, the increased traffic congestion, the increased noise, new light glare and additional trash which will be generated by the proposed soccer facility complex, will not be compatible with the existing Industrial business uses listed above.

The industrial businesses on Joanbridge Street have done a good job of maintaining their own properties and work too hard to conduct their own companies profitably, to have to be subjected to the nuisances of the proposed use. Nuisances such as increased traffic, unlawful on-street parking, and increased trash left in the area by patrons of the soccer complex facility, as exampled the photos taken outside the Lab5 Gardena (Exhibit L Lab5 Gardena photos) along with increased traffic congestion.

In addition, the adjacent residential neighborhood homes will also be subject to the detrimental effects of the proposed soccer complex’s long hours of operation, the extreme noise generated, the tremendous light glare into their yards and windows, the trash left in the neighborhoods by the soccer complex’s clients, as well as the increased traffic congestion and strangers in their neighborhood, which will all be generated by the proposed soccer facility complex.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (4): “The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property” has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (5) Future compatibility. The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. (pg.4)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.4)
“The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. The use of the property as a recreational facility is compatible with existing and future land uses within the Industrial zone, and the general area in which the use is located. Future uses with potential impacts typically require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and therefore would be before the Planning Commission for consideration of the cumulative impacts for the area.”

The Finding of Fact has not been met that the use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located.

30 The proposed soccer complex facility use is not compatible with the existing industrial uses in the Industrial zone because of the noise issue noted previously document; because of trash problems as documented in the Exhibit L - Lab5 Gardena; because of the light / glare problems as discussed in Section “Finding 1a – 1j” of this document and as shown in the Lab5 Gardena soccer complex (Exhibit L), and primarily because of the traffic /parking problems it will generate.

As part of the applicant’s Initial Study data for the proposed project, the applicant submitted a Traffic Study of a similar soccer complex (www.Lab5.com Pacoima) which was not included in the staff report or in the CUP discussion.

Per this Traffic Study (Exhibit T), the proposed new soccer complex facility would generate 107 trips (or 21.375 trips per field) during a 4 pm – 10pm time period on a weekday. It can be extrapolated that the traffic generated by the soccer complex facility would be even higher during the day on a weekend.

This high traffic volume generated by the proposed soccer complex use would clog and aggravate the already difficult turn lanes onto Joanbridge St. from Maine Avenue, and the right / left turn lanes from Joanbridge Street onto Maine Avenue. This new, extra heavy traffic would impede the customer and delivery truck accessibility to the existing industrial and commercial uses, negatively affect their ability to conduct business

The negative impacts of the noise, light glare, trash and traffic/parking problems associated with the proposed soccer complex will be even more detrimental to residential homes.

Furthermore, the proposed Commercial members-only, soccer complex facility will never be considered compatible even in the future, based on the fact that a Commercial Recreational Facility soccer complex facility is not allowed in a residential zone, per the City of Baldwin Park General Plan and Municipal Code.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (5): “The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (6) Utilities and services. Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety. (pg.5)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.5)
31 “Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety. The existing industrial building provides all utilities and services connected and therefore the proposed recreational facility will not be detrimental to public health and safety.”

The Finding of Fact has not been met that adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety.

The subject property of the proposed soccer complex is bisected by multiple large power lines with transformers as well as other utility lines. These utility structures are located directly where the applicant is proposing to construct the elevated concrete structure as a foundation for the four (4) outdoor, raised soccer complex facility fields.

There are is no discussion in the staff report that the applicant has submitted any plans to the appropriate Utilities or the Baldwin Park Engineering Department regarding the feasible relocation and undergrounding as per Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.050 (B) Underground utilities. “To protect public safety and improve the appearance of the community, all new development shall be required to install all electrical distribution lines of 16 kilovolts or less, telephone, cable television and similar wires that provide customer services underground.”There are no specific Conditions of Approval included within Conditional Use Permit Resolution which have been submitted regarding the relocation or required undergrounding of theses existing utilities.

In addition, the public services of the Police Department, Fire Department and the Code Enforcement Department will be negatively impacted by the operation of the proposed soccer complex facility. Increased service calls to the Police and Fire and Code Enforcement Departments from the proposed soccer complex would increase the response time of these necessary health and safety services.

Therefore, these entities have not been able to submit conditions of approval to ensure that the proposed soccer complex will not be detrimental to public health and safety.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (6): “Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety” has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (7): Public access. Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use (pg.5)

32 Planning Commission staff report (pg.5):
“Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use. The site has direct vehicular and pedestrian access to Joanbridge Street, which is a local road, but is also proximate to Main Avenue which is designated as an collector street in the City’s General Plan. Additionally, the rolled curb in the public right-of-way provide both pedestrians and persons with disabilities with convenient access to the site and provide access for motor vehicles. The site’s access to streets and highways are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic generated by the proposes recreational facility, and”

The Finding of Fact has not been made tha t the project would provide adequate public access for the proposed 5 soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields and one inside soccer field.

1. The applicant is proposing to use a single ingress drive aisle and a single exit drive aisle, with only one-way traffic circulation, which is confusing and dangerous. The proposed public access ingress and egress are inadequate and dangerously designed, due to the small size of the subject property and due to the fact that the project is proposing to reducing the required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback to a five-foot rear yard setback (a 75% reduction) (see Setback discussion of this document) and the project is proposing to cover 84% of the industrial instead of being below the required 50% lot coverage (see Lot Coverage discussion of this document). This will lead to the over-development of the existing Industrial parcel by the proposed soccer complex facility.

2. In addition, again due to the small lot size and proposed over-development, the applicant is proposing to place the required Fire Department parking lane and access route directly within the exit lane. This would lead to great confusion and blocked routes of exit for anyone on the site in the case of an emergency.

3. T he application for the proposed 5 soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields and one inside soccer field has not been submitted to the Engineering Department for their review or approval.

4. The amount of proposed parking spaces does not meet the Baldwin Park M unicipal
Code requirements for a Commercial Recreational Use per Table 153.150.040 Required Number of Parking Spaces, as shown on page 3 of this document. The applicant is proposing to provide 39 parking spaces for the proposed new soccer complex, however 152 parking spaces are required per code (see Parking discussion of this document).

33 Also, as part of the applicant’s Initial Study data for the proposed project, the applicant submitted a Traffic Study (Exhibit T) of a similar soccer complex (www.Lab5.com Pacoima) which was not included in the staff report or in the CUP discussion. Per this Traffic Study, Exhibit T, the proposed new soccer complex facility would generate 107 trips (or 21.375 trips per field) during a 4 pm – 10pm time period on a weekday.

Considering the low amount of on-site parking proposed by the applicant, all soccer complex facility customers seeking parking spaces at the proposed new soccer complex would spill onto Joanbridge St. and the adjacent residential streets of Maine Avenue and California Avenue seeking non-existent street parking, causing traffic blockage on Maine Avenue, on Joanbridge St. and California Avenue, and reducing public access to the residences and reducing public access to the businesses on Maine Avenue . (Exhibit MM Mitigation Measure TRA-1).

The additional high traffic volume generated by the proposed soccer complex use would also clog and aggravate the already difficult turn lanes onto Joanbridge St. and California Avenue from Maine Avenue, and the right / left turn lanes from Joanbridge Street, California Avenue and even Baldwin Avenue, onto Maine Avenue.

The residential areas on Maine Avenue, California Avenue and Baldwin Avenue would be especially negatively impacted. The fact that California Avenue and Baldwin Avenue are dead-end streets would only add to the traffic congestion and confusion as soccer players and spectators and family all try to find off-site parking.

In addition, in their application letter (Exhibit B), the applicant is proposing to operate (3) 2-hour classes per day, seven (7) days a week, on each of the 5 soccer fields. The soccer fields are designed for 5x5 soccer play or a maximum of 10 students/team members on each field with an instructor/referee. That is a total of 55 people per field every 2 hours, 3 times a day, 7 days a week, not including spectators, family members and those waiting for their time on the field. That is a minimum of 165 people per day trying to park in the proposed 39 parking spaces. This huge amount of cars/soccer players seeking parking is confusing and dangerous to anyone who would want to park at the soccer complex facility and would reduce public access to the businesses on Joanbridge Street.

The traffic generated by a similar type of soccer complex facility in Covina is the SOFIVE commercial soccer complex located at 699 S. Barranca Avenue, Covina (www.sofivecovina.com) is a clear example of the negative effects a soccer complex will have on existing businesses and residential areas. Existing businesses and residential next to the SOFIVE commercial soccer complex facility in Covina have resorted to blocking their residential streets and blocking their commercial business parking lot entrances with “no SOFIVE soccer parking” in order to preserve their own residential and commercial parking spaces. Complaints to the Covina Police and Code enforcement have increased at this Covina location.

34 Therefore, the Finding of Fact (7): “Adequate provisions for public access are available to serve the use” has not been and cannot be met.

Finding of Fact (8) General Plan consistency. The use is consistent with the General Plan.(pg.5)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.5):
“The use is consistent with the General Pla. Land Use Goal1.0 Balanced Development in Baldwin Park. Maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park. Land Use Policy 1.4 Create opportunities for two different levels of commercial development: (1) commercial uses that meet the retail and service needs of the local residents and employee populations, and (2) regional-serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a broader population base; and

The Finding of Fact has not been made that the project is consistent with the General Plan.

The
staff report doesn’t clarify how constructing a 5-soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields, increased noise, light glare, increased trash, increased traffic and parking problems next to an existing residential use is a “Balanced Development.” The intention of Land Use Goal 1.0, to “maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park” is not to locate a nuisance- generating, 5-soccer field soccer complex facility project next to an existing residential use. If that was the intention of the Baldwin Park General Plan, then the Baldwin Park Municipal Code would allow a commercial recreational facility in a residential zone, which it does not.

Regarding Land Use Policy 1.4, “Create opportunities for two different levels of commercial development”; the subject site is located in an Industrial zone, not in a zone for commercial uses or commercial development. The Industrial zone properties are zoned such so as to provide the City of Baldwin Park with manufacturing uses to generate a manufacturing tax base of income for the City.

Additionally, regarding Land Use Policy 1.4 (2) “regional-serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a broader population base”: the proposed commercial recreation, 5 soccer field soccer complex facility project is not a retail use, but it probably would “draw from a broader population base” such as soccer players from the Los Angeles area, who would be willing and able to drive all the way out to Baldwin Park to play at a boutique 5x5 – soccer style complex facility, which would probably not be allowed in their own Cities, because of the negative impacts.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (8): “The use is consistent with the General Plan” cannot be made.

However, there are many General Plan Goals and Policies which require the denial of the proposed project:
35 1.General Plan Land Use Goal 2.0: “Accommodate new development that is compatible with and complements existing conforming land uses.”

The proposed soccer complex would be constructed directly adjacent to an e xisting residential land use, the homes of actual Baldwin Park residents. The homeowners and residents would be very negatively affected, financially and aesthetically, by the proposed over-development of the adjacent Industrial property with the construction of the proposed commercial soccer complex, with 4 outdoor, elevated soccer fields along with the noise, light glare, traffic / parking problems and trash such a project would generate. The proposed soccer complex project is neither compatible with or complementary to the existing conforming residential land use adjacent to the property. Therefore, the proposal is directly in conflict with General Plan Goal 2.0.

2.General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Require that multi -family, commercial and industrial development provide adequate buffers (such as decorative walls and landscaped setbacks) at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

The proposed commercial soccer complex facility, with 4 outdoor, elevated soccer fields and one indoor soccer field is not consistent with General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5 as shown below
a. The Conditional Use requested (Recreational facility / Outdoor Facility) is not the use being used to calculate the required number of parking spaces resulting in too little parking being provided, i.e. a parking deficit, for the proposed soccer complex facility use, which does not comply with the intent of the applicable provision of Chapter 153 Baldwin Park Municipal Code; and b. The proposed number of parking spaces, 39, is less than the required number of parking spaces, which is 152; and
c. The proposed soccer complex facility does not meet the City of Baldwin Park Table 153.050.030 Development Standards for Commercial and Industrial Zones, proposing a 84% lot coverage when only a 50% lot coverage is allowed.

Therefore, the size of the proposed soccer complex structure will cover more than the allowed lot coverage and the size is not allowed; and d. The proposed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of .88 is greater than the allowed .75 FAR. in the General Industrial designation of the General Plan. e. The submitted soccer complex application is proposing a 5-foot (5’) rear yard setback for the four (4) new 25-foot tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields when a 20-foot (20”) rear yard setback is required for new construction in the Industrial zone when the rear property line abuts an existing residential zone and neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed soccer complex facility does not meet Zoning Code Chapter Sections 153.050.030 and 153.050.030 (A)(2) of the Municipal Code Section and is not permitted to be constructed in the Industrial zone; and
36 f. That the noise that will be generated by the requested conditionally approved Recreational facility / Outdoor use is not in compliance with the General Plan Noise Element NE12 requiring an Acoustical analysis for proposed projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors. There was no Acoustical Analysis presented to the Planning Commission for their review and approval; and
g. That the noise that will be generated by the requested conditionally approved Recreational facility / Outdoor use is not in compliance with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter, specifically the Zoning Code Section 153.140.070 NOISE, and is in fact prohibited; and
h. That the light and glare created by the proposed twenty-five (25’) foot tall exterior flood lights of the proposed soccer complex facility cannot be shown, without a Schemic Lighting Plan as required by Mitigation Measure AES 1, to be confined to the site and will cause adverse impacts on adjacent residential land uses due to light spillover and glare; and
i. That the privacy of the adjacent residential rear yards would not be buffered or protected by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or the proposed 5 foot meager landscape strip behind the wall; and
j. That the differences in scale and the visual in-compatibility of the proposed soccer complex facility with the adjacent residential homes would not be buffered or protected by the existing, ineffectual, 6 foot-tall block wall or any plantings in the skinny landscape strip behind the wall. The lack of visual compatibility and exceeding differences in scale between the proposed soccer complex facility and the adjacent residential, small, single-story homes cannot be buffered.

The applicant is proposing to use the existing six-foot-high concrete masonry wall and a 5 foot narrow strip of landscape area along the southern perimeter of the Project Site to buffer the adjacent residential homes. However, these homes have a lower grade than the industrial properties, making these homes considerably lower than the project site.

The existing 6 foot tall proposed block wall and the 5 foot narrow strip of landscape area behind it are woefully insufficient buffers which would fail to protect the residents in the adjacent homes. As one of the residences directly abutting the project site is the home a 30-year special needs son of the property owners (a son who has seizures triggered by loud noise and light glare) this is completely unacceptable. The existing wall and minimal landscaping would also be inadequate to protect all the residents from the 7 days-a-week noise, light and glare, or to protect their privacy or provide visual compatibility , see previous discussions in Section Finding of Fact 1. in this document.

In addition, the applicant is requesting approval of a City Variance to allow all structures to encroach into the rear yard setback to within 5 feet of the rear property line, adjacent to the residential home properties, even though the Baldwin Park Munici pal Code

53.050.030 specifically requires a 20- foot setback for all new structures built in the Industrial zone which abut existing residential homes. The application lacks a legal, sufficient, and adequate buffer to protect the adjacent residences.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Policy

2.5. 37

3.General Plan Land Use Policy 2.6: “Require that the external lighting of commercial and industrial properties be confined to the site to avoid adverse impacts on adjacent land uses due to light spillover or glare.”

Per page A-1.3 of the submitted site plan, the applicant is proposing to use the existing six-foot-high concrete masonry wall along the southern perimeter of the Project Site and a meager and skinny, 5-foot landscape strip behind the wall. as a buffer. However, since the project wall at that location is 25’ tall and 150’ wide, any external field flood lights will be located above the 6-foot-tall wall, therefore rendering the buffer ineffective. In addition, the project site is directly adjacent to a residential homes neighborhood, which has a lower grade than the industrial properties, making these homes considerably lower than the project site. The 6-foot-tall existing block wall and the skinny, 5-foot landscape strip behind the wall are insufficient to protect the residents in the adjacent homes from the light and glare that the proposed soccer complex facility will generate.

In addition, photos of existing outdoor soccer complex facility lights were taken at the Lab5
Gardena soccer complex, which was used by the applicant as an example of a similar existing soccer complex facility for the noise study. similar to the proposed soccer complex facility (Exhibit L, Lab5 Pacoima and Gardena site photos). These photos show the type of lighting generally used to provide outdoor light bright enough to play nighttime outdoor sports safely. These over -sized, existing light standards extend far beyond the existing Gardena Lab 5 soccer complex fences and are very large. The submitted site plans do not show any outdoor field lighting on any of the exterior elevations as seen on pages A-1.3, A-1.4,and P-1.1 of the submitted site plans.

In the required and submitted Initial Study, Mitigation Measure AES 1 (Exhibit MM), requires that “The Project Applicant shall submit additional documentation as part of the required Schematic Lighting Plan and the Applicant’s Design Review Submittal package to the City of Baldwin Park Design Review Committee for review and approval. Additional documentation shall demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions under the Project shall not result in excessive spillage. Additional documentation may include, but is not limited to, photometric site plans and or written statements of approval by the City Engineer.”

28. This substitute condition postpones the submittal and review of any Schemic Lighting 38 Plan until after the Planning Commission has already rendered its decision on the project’s Design Review; after the Planning Commission has already deliberated and determined that the proposed soccer complex facility will or will not comply with General Plan Land Use Policies 2.5, 2.6 and Municipal Code 153.140.020 cited above.

In
addition, the Initial Study noted that “implementation of Mitigation Measure AES -1 would reduce the Project’s impacts involving substantial light and glare to less than significant levels”, based on the specific provision that the project applicant shal l submit additional documentation as part of the required Schematic Lighting Plan and the Applicant’s Design Review submittal package”.

Since the light and glare that would be generated by the proposed soccer complex f
acility cannot be shown to be buffered or that “the proposed lighting conditions under the Project shall not result in excessive spillage”, Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made because the proposed project will not comply with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Policy

2.6. 4.General Plan Land Use Policy 2.7: Require that automobile and truck access to commercial and industrial properties adjacent to residential parcels be located the maximum practical distance from the residential parcel.

The driveways of the proposed soccer complex facility enter and exit on to Joanbridge Street, but the drive aisle providing access to the onsite parking will parallel the rear , adjacent residential properties thereby producing noise and fuel fumes which will spill over the property line, especially since the project is asking for a variance to reduce the required rear lot line setback to build the 2-story elevated soccer fields to within only 5 feet of the adjacent residential properties, which is 75% less than the required 20 foot 39 setback that a new Industrial use/construction is required to provide, per Section 153.050.030 Development Standards for Industrial and Commercial zones regarding Shared property lines with a lot zoned for residential use.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Policy

2.7. 5.General Plan Land Use Policy 7.4: Require adequate on-site parking and circulation of developments so that roadways serving these projects can better serve traffic demands. Site review requirements should discourage on-street parking.

The proposed parking and circulation are inc
onsistent with this General Plan Policy.

There is no existing on-street parking on Joanbridge St. nor does the existing rolled-curb street design allow any on-street parking. Industrial property owners on Joanbridge Street have minimal parking in their front yard setbacks, which are all posted with “Employee Parking Only” or “No Parking” signs. (see Exhibit D Joanbridge St. Parking) In addition, the proposed project is insufficiently parked as designed. As previously st
ated, the applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces for the commercial recreational soccer complex facility. The Baldwin Park Municipal Code requires 152 parking spaces for a commercial recreational facility. See Parking discussion in section Finding of Fact 1 in this document.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Policy 7.4.

6.General Plan Land Use Goal 17.0: Encourage development of low-scale, low-intensity commercial and industrial uses that do not require easy freeway access and that are oriented primarily toward serving the local resident and business populations.

The proposed over -s
caled soccer complex is inconsistent with this General Plan Goal.

The proposed project is also a high intensity commercial use. The proposed commercial recreational soccer complex facility will utilize one existing building and construct a huge 2-level concrete structure with 4 elevated soccer fields located on top of the structure. In addition, the soccer complex facility will cover 84% of the site.

The proposed 5x5 soccer-style commercial soccer complex facility is for members only; not open for the general public and local business populations to just pop in. The commercial soccer business is not designed for regular, affordable, accessible, recreational soccer, with full-sized soccer teams.

The applicant is proposing multiple, small soccer fields wh ich are designed for 5 x 5 or 8
x 8 play. The proposed smaller fields, while they may be used for training, are primarily designed for playing soccer matches with 5 or 8 person teams and one referee. These boutique 5 x 5 soccer fields, such as www.lab-five.com and www.SOFivecovina.com are increasingly popular social destinations for families and adults, with video games, snack bars, large screen televisions and sometimes alcoholic beverage bars. Good examples 40 of these boutique soccer field complex facilities can be found at the two Lab Five Soccer facilities located at 9740 Telfar Ave., Pacoima, CA (www.soccerfieldpacoima.com )and at 14000 Halldale Ave. Gardena, CA. ( www.gardenasoccerfield.com ) These two soccer complexes were identified for the CEQA Initial Study required Noise Study and the CEQA Initial Study required Traffic Study by the applicant as a soccer complex design similar to the proposed development on Joanbridge Street in Baldwin Park. Since most customers of this boutique type of soccer complex would be from out of town and traveling from the 605 Freeway, through Irwindale, the proposed soccer complex facility will only generate traffic, noise and trash for the local businesses, not revenue.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Policy

17.0. 7.General Plan Noise Element Goal 1.0: Integrate noise considerations into land use planning decisions.

General Plan Noise Element NE12: Acoustical analysis will be required for projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors.

The negative effect of the illegal noise to be generated by the proposed soccer complex were not identified or even discussed in the staff report.

The Initial Study for the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration for the proposed soccer com
plex showed that the noise generated by the soccer complex would exceed the noise levels allowed by any use adjacent to a residential property. The soccer complex noise levels were measured at Lab5 Pacoima, which was accepted by the applicant as a similar soccer complex use in the Los Angeles area. (see Exhibit N) The noise levels measured at that soccer complex location were a maximum noise level of:

91.8 dBA (day) and 78.3 dBA (evening). These exceed the noise levels allowed by the City of Baldwin Park Noise Ordinance in a residential zone which are 55 dBA (day) and 50 dBA (evening).

Noise Comparison

Residential
7 pm – 10 pm (evening) 50 dBA
1/25/23 7:00 pm

46.4 – 78.3 dBA average 60.5 dBA

In addition, Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.070 requires that “Noise levels shall be measured in dBA at the property line of the receptor property, (in this case the residential property directly south and adjacent of the proposed soccer complex) and at least four feet above the ground and five feet from the nearest structure or wall. Where a boundary or wall exists, the measurement shall be made on the receptor property. ” However, there were no noise levels measured on the residential properties what so ever.

41 General Plan Noise Element NE12 requires that an Acoustical analysis will be required for projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors.

The staff report did not contain any acoustical analysis or discussion or generate any specific Conditions of Approval to meet this requirement.

Therefore, the proposed project is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan Noise Element Goal 1.0, Policy 2.1 and page NE 12 of the City of Baldwin Park Noise Element.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (8): “The use is consistent with the General Plan” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact (9): Safety and welfare. The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.(pg.5)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.5):
“The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety convenience or welfare in that the gymnasium will be developed in accordance with all the development standards of the zone and will operate in substantial conformance to all conditions of approval as identified in the resolution of approval. The active recreational use promotes healthy lifestyles for the City’s youth, which is support of their general welfare.”

The Finding of Fact cannot be made that the use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

Simply stating that the project will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare, without substantiating evidence, does not make it so.

The proposed soccer facility as presented will not to meet all of the development standards of the zone nor will it meet all of the operational standards of the zone, as shown in the table below.
• The Development Standard for the rear yard setback is a 20-foot setback; the applicant wants to build a 5-foot setback.
• The Development Standard is for a 50% maximum lot coverage; the applicant wants to cover 84% of the with four (4) outdoor elevated soccer fields lot. • The amount of parking required by the Development Standards is 152 parking spaces; the applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces.
• There is no on-street parking available on Joanbridge Street. Any area between the rolled curb on Joanbridge Street and the existing industrial buildings belong to the individual properties and are not available for public parking.

The proposed soccer facility as presented will not to meet all of the Operational Development Standards of the zone:
• The Operational Standard for allowed any Noise in a residential zone is that it must be measured in dBA at the property line of the receptor property and where a boundary or wall exists, the measurement shall be made on the receptor 42 property. In this case, the receptor properties are those residential properties located directly south of the proposed project site’s rear property line. The allowed decibel amount for a residential zone is 55 dBA day and 50 dBA evening; the proposed soccer complex project would produce 64.2 dBA day and

60.5 dBA evening.
• The proposed soccer complex facility does not meet the requirements of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.150.010 which are to provide adequate off- street parking facilities, loading areas and vehicle movement areas; that the use of land does not adversely interfere with the circulation on public rights-of-way.

Police Services Increased Police Calls not addressed

In addition, the staff report states in the finding of facts above, the gymnasium will operat
e in substantial conformance to all conditions of approval as identified in the resolution of approval.

Regarding the Conditions of Approval, the Mitigated Negative Declaration Resolution PC 23-29, which is required by CEQA to include all the Mitigation Measures of the Initial Study, only includes the requirements of how to handle Native American remains or artifacts. Therefore, Conditions of Approval PC 23-29 is incomplete and the Mitigated Negative Declaration invalid and not legally adoptable.

Further, if the proposal will “operate in substantial conformance to all conditions of approval as identified in the resolution of approval”, as stated in the staff report above, then because of the ambiguous and minimal number of Conditions of Approval in Resolution PC23-28, Planning Commission approval of the proposed project will grant the applicant of the proposed soccer complex virtually unlimited leeway in what they can construct and operate.

Planning Condition of Approval (a) requires “that the property shall be developed and maintained in substantial accordance with Exhibit A to the staff report dated December 43 13, 2023”. When questioned, Melissa Chipres, Associate Planner, stated that Exhibit “A” is the Attachment #2, the Resolution of Approval – PC 23-28. The submitted site plan and elevation plan, which the Planning Commission is being asked to review and approved, are not included in the Conditions of Approval. There is no Condition of Approval requiring that the constructed soccer complex facility be constructed per the site plans or per the elevation plans which were presented to the Planning Commission for their review and approval.

If approved as presented, Resolution of Approval – PC 23-28 would allow the developers to construct whatever kind of Recreational Facility (indoor/outdoor soccer facility) they want within 5 feet of a residential neighborhood, regardless of what is discussed at the review hearing. Even though the site plans and elevations may be discussed, there are no Conditions of Approval requiring that the complex resemble the submitted site or elevation plans what so ever.

• There are no Conditions of Approval limiting the soccer complex to a so-called soccer training school; no Condition of Approval that would prohibit soccer games for all ages except that “all participants shall be enrolled in a training program (Condition #e).

• There are no Conditions of Approval from the City Departments, listed below, because they have not been requested by staff to review the submitted proposal, even though Municipal Code Section 153.210.090 states: Application materials shall be circulated to other city departments and agencies for review and comment as determined necessary or appropriate by the City Planner. Planning Division staff shall be responsible for requesting and incorporating comments into project modifications or conditions of approval to ensure conformance with all provisions of this code and other adopted policies and plans. 44 • No Building Division review (for light and glare); • No Engineering Division Review (for retaining wall grading, undergrounding utilities)
• No Fire Department Review regarding increased fire and paramedic calls for service
• NO Police Department Review (for increased disturbance, noise and light glare nuisance calls)
• NO Public Works Department Review (for traffic circulation issues) • NO Landscaping Review
Therefore, the Finding of Fact (9): “The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare” has not been and cannot be made.

Conclusion

As Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.210.480 (Determination) above states:
“Conditional use permits shall be granted when the Planning Commission determines that the proposed use or activity complies with all of the following findings.”

45 Finding of Fact – Zone Variance ZV-23-01

Planning Commission Staff Report (pg.5):
“The applicant is requesting approval of a Zone Variance to allow deviation from the minimum rear and side yard setback requirements. The I zone requires a minimum ten (10) foot rear and side yard and the applicant is requesting a five (5) foot deviation from the standard. Approving the deviation would allow for larger soccer fields on the second floor. The size of the soccer fields on the second floor as shown on the plans is the minimum size that the applicant deems practical for use as a training field. Therefore, without the approval of the reduced setback, this project becomes impractical.”

Public Comments:
• The Industrial zone requires a twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback, double the regular ten-foo (10’) setback, for new construction on an industrial property when the industrial property shares a rear property line with an adjacent residential zone, neighbor hood or area, which is the case with the proposed Commercial soccer complex facility. (BP Municipal Code 153.050.030 (A) (2) “Wherever a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a property line with an exclusively residential or a mixed-use zoned lot, any exterior new structure, or addition to an existing structure, that exceeds one story in height and that faces any rear or side lot line shall be set back twice the required setback.”
• The deviation being requested would therefore be a significant fifteen-foot (15’) deviation, not a small five-foot (5’) deviation. That is a 75% special deviation instead of a 50% deviation, a 75% deviation that no other property on Joanbridge Street has been granted.
• The fact that the requested deviation is “more practical” for the applicant giving the more room to generate revenue, that is ‘more profitable’, is not a valid reason for the Planning Commission to approve the requested deviation from the norm. If the proposed, outsized soccer complex facility need a larger area for more, larger soccer fields, perhaps the proposed location is not a good location for their proposal.

153.210.400 INTENT AND PURPOSE.
“California Gov’t Code § 65906 establishes the authority of the city to grant exception to development standards and provisions of this chapter in cases where, because of 46 special circumstances applicable to a particular property, the strict application of this code deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical land use zoning districts.”

153.210.430 DETERMINATION.

1.Special circumstances. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, that do not generally apply to other properties in the same district. (pg. 5)

Planning Commission Staff Report (pg.5):
“The side and rear yard setback development standard for properties located within the Industrial Zone is ten (10) feet. There is wall for the proposed parking area and soccer fields that encroaches 5’ into the code-required 10’0” side and rear yard setback. The encroachment into the required yard areas is needed to increase the width of the proposed soccer fields located on the second floor to practical dimensions.”

This Finding of Fact has not been made that there are special circumstance unique the subject property, that the other properties on Joanbridge Street do not have.

There is nothing special about the size, the shape, or the topography at 14412 and 14424 Joanbridge. The lots on Joanbridge Street are all primarily rectangular, flat and generally the same size, except where lots have been merged to form larger lots. This is especially true of the industrial lots on the south side of Joanbridge Street, which is the same side of Joanbridge Street where the subject property is located.

The fact that “the encroachment into the required yard areas is needed to increase the width of the proposed soccer fields located on the second floor to practical dimensions” does not pertain to or reflect any special circumstances applicable to the project site.

Increasing the area of a business to “practical dimensions” is not a special circumstance. All business owners would like that special consideration of more business space. The profitability of a business is not a consideration of the Planning Commission when reviewing a Variance application.

The question is, Is there something special about the site property, such as size, shape, topography, location or surroundings.

The answer is: There are no special circumstances about the site property.

Except that the subject property shares a rear property line with an existing residential zone which does require special treatment. Special treatment such as a twenty-foot (20’) rear setback ( Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.050.030 Development Standards for 47 Commercial and Industrial zones) “to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.” noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility, as called for in the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5:
.

10 ft

Lot coverage - maximum 50% 50% 50% 50% 50%

Therefore, the Variance Finding of Fact (1): Special circumstances. There are special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, that do not generally apply to other properties in the same district has not been made.

2.Similar privileges. The strict application of this chapter deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and other identical zoning classification. (pg.6)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.6):
“The subject sites were both developed with industrial commercial use buildings that have been in Baldwin Park since 1960 and over the past 63 years, the existing buildings have maintained a zero-side yard setback. The applicant has approached the City for consideration of variances due to the uniqueness, size and use of the facility. Staff agrees that the original building/project were reviewed and approved in favor of the betterment of the community, and to serve the health and wellness of the residents in the surrounding region and believes granting of the variances will not cause any adverse impacts on the adjacent properties.”
48 Public Comments:

1. Both of the subject sites were not built in the 1960’s as stated in the Planning Commission staff report, but were built on the dates shown on the attached Los Angeles County Assessor’s Parcel Detail printout. (Exhibit G) The building at 14412 Joanbridge Street (APN 8414-023-011) was originally built in 1960, then demolished and rebuilt in 2014, with the complying twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback.

The building at 14424 Joanbridge Street (8414-012-010) was built in 1960, also with the complying rear yard, and is still existing.

2. T he buildings have not maintained zero-side yard setbacks, as asserted in the Planning Commission staff report, but were both built with only one side yard having a zero-side yard setback, as shown on the aerial photos from Google Earth Exhibit G, attached, not a zero-side yard on both sides.

Both 14412 and 14424 Joanbridge Street have an existing zero-side yard setback on the west side property line. The east side of both properties are used for driveways access.

3. In addition, and most importantly, neither 14412 or 14424 Joanbridge currently have existing zero setbacks at their rear property lines, where the existing industrial properties abut the existing residential properties to the south.

4. Both the 14412 and 14424 Joanbridge Street structures were originally constructed with at least a twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback in accordance with the Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5 and the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.050.030(A)(2), as previously reference in the document above. The existing buildings and their existing setback areas are clearly seen, as shown on the aerial photos from Google earth attached. (Exhibit G) This is why the applicant is required to continue to maintain the original twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setbacks

5. The granting of the variance being requested, (which is to reduce all setbacks; that is to reduce both east and west side yard setbacks and the crucial rear yard setback), to five feet (5’), will most definitely cause an adverse impact on all the adjacent properties, both industrial and residential, but most especially the residential properties to the rear of the proposed project.

6. It has already been established the uniqueness, use and size of the proposed soccer complex facility project is not a consideration of the Planning Commission when reviewing a Variance application; only uniqueness of the physical lot.

7. In addition, the variance to allow construction of the soccer complex facility to within five-feet of a residential area and zone, would be very detrimental to “the health and wellness of the residents in the surrounding region” and granting the variances will definitely cause adverse impacts on the adjacent properties, such as increased noise, light/glare, trash/soccer balls thrown onto the residential properties and a very negative aesthetic view.
49 8. The required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback has been enshrined in the City of Baldwin Park’s General Plan and Municipal Code to ensure that the existing adjacent residential properties are not affected by any new construction or uses in the Industrial zone.

The Finding of Fact 2. Similar Privileges has not been made that the strict application of this chapter deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and other identical zoning classification.

The proposed project, if approved, would cover 84% of the subject property while the legal limit is 50%. No other properties on Joanbridge have been constructed to cover that much of their properties with structure. These other properties would surely also be as interested in over-building their properties, if also illegally allowed.

In addition, the variance to allow construction of the soccer complex facility to within five-feet of a residential area and zone, would be very detrimental to “the health and wellness of the residents in the surrounding region” and granting the variances will definitely cause adverse impacts on the adjacent properties, such as increased noise, light/glare, trash/soccer balls thrown onto the residential properties and a very negative aesthetic view.

The required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback has been enshrined in the City of Baldwin Park’s General Plan and Municipal Code to ensure that the existing adjacent residential properties are not affected by any new construction or uses in the Industrial zone.

3. Consistent privileges. The granting of the variance does not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated. (pg.6)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.6):
“The granting of the zone variance would not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to adjacent property. The project will provide a five (5) foot side and rear yard setback and will further enhance side and rear yard elevations with mature landscaping to deter any visual impact to the adjacent properties.”

Public comments:

The granting of the zone variance would be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to adjacent property.

Per
page A-1.3 of the submitted site plan, the applicant is proposing to use the existing six-foot-high concrete masonry wall, not provide a new five- foot (5’) new wall, along the southern perimeter of the Project Site and a meager and skinny, 5- foot landscape strip behind the wall. as a buffer. However, the project site is directly adjacent to a residential 50 homes neighborhood, which has a lower grade than the industrial properties, making these homes considerably lower than the project site.

The existing 6-foot-tall block wall and a the proposed skinny, 5-foot strip of landscaping are insufficient to plant or grow mature landscaping or to “deter any visual impact to the adjacent properties”. The proposed twenty-five foot (25’) tall and one hundred fifty -foot (150’) wide soccer complex facility structure will be seen above the six-foot (6’) wall.

It is has already been thoroughly established that the granting of the zone variance would be materially detrimental to the public welfare and injurious to adjacent property.

Based on the requirements of the Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Policy 2.5 and the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.050.030(A)(2), as previously reference in the document above, the minimum twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback is required to ensure that any new construction in the Industrial zone, on a lot that abuts an existing residential zone, in order to prevent impacts on the public welfare and residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

Regar
ding the assertion that the proposed project will not be “injurious to adjacent properties”, the project would clearly be injurious to the adjacent residential properties in that the construction of a twenty-five foot (25’) tall, one hundred fifty foot (150’) wide, two- story, elevated 4 soccer field soccer complex facility with the generated illegal noise, light/glare, trash, increased traffic and parking problems, along with the lack of privacy and negative visual impact of a prison- like monolith structure looming over the private homes, would indeed be injurious to the adjacent residential property values, as verified by a licensed property appraiser .(Exhibit H) Also, the minimal amount of landscaping which could be packed into the very narrow five-foot (5’) setback area would not meet the definition of “mature landscaping” nor would it in any way deter any visual impact.

In addition, neighboring commercial and industrial businesses would also be injured by the increase in traffic and parking problems, trash, noise, and light/glare as previously noted in this document. These nuisances would be inconvenient for both the bus iness owners and their customers to deal with, leading to decrease productivity in workers and a decrease of customers and revenue.

The Finding of Fact of “Consistent Privileges” has not been made in that the granting of the variance does constitute a grant of special privileges to the applicant, inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property is situated.

The granting of the variance being requested will grant the applicant a special privilege that is not enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and Industrial zone which is to be able to build a larger structure than would legally be allowed. As shown on google earth satellite view (Exhibit G), there are no other properties on Joanbridge Street which have built permitted structures with a 5’ side yard setbacks on both east and west property lines, such as the applicant is requesting.
51 Neither have any other properties along Joanbridge Street been allowed to encroach into the required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback, next to the residential area and zone. Also, the proposed project, if approved, would cover 84% of the subject property while the legal limit is 50%. No other properties on Joanbridge have been constructed to cover that much of their properties with structure. These other properties would surely also be as interested in over-building their properties, if also illegally allowed.

The granting of the variance being requested will also grant the applicant a special privilege that is not enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and Industrial zone which is to be able to build a larger structure than would legally be allowed. As shown on google earth satellite view (Exhibit G), there are no other properties on Joanbridge Street which have built permitted structures with a 5’ side yard setbacks on both east and west property lines, such as the applicant is requesting. Neither have any other properties along Joanbridge Street been allowed to encroach into the specially required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback, next to the residential area and zone.

In fact, the granting of the requested variance would indeed grant special privileges to the proposed soccer complex facility by not requiring them to adhere to the development standards and the General Plan Land Use requirements that the other existing industrial uses have been and currently are required to abide by. No other use in the area is allowed to be closer than 20’ to the rear property line next to residential homes; no other industrial structures have been allowed to reduce their side yard lots to a very narrow five (5’) feet in depth.

Also, a special privilege would be granted to the soccer complex facility application if the soccer complex facility would be allowed to provide only 39 parking spaces for the facility when 152 parking spaces are required. All other existing industrial business are required to provide sufficient on-site parking per the development code.

4. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park. (pg.6)

Planning Commission staff report (pg.6)
“The variance will not adversely or negatively affect the General Plan or its goals beca
use the property will be utilized for commercial purposes in accordance with the site’s General Plan designation of General Commercial that allows recreational facilities uses with the approval of a conditional use permit.”

Publ
ic Comments:

The site’s General Plan designation is “General Industrial” not “General Commercial”.

Per General Plan Land Use Element LU-27:
“This category provides for areas where a
broad range of assembly, manufacturing and material production businesses can operate without adversely affecting surrounding land uses. A limited range of commercial businesses is also permitted to support the businesses and work force; for 52 example: eating establishments, service stations and hardware stores.” The General Plan does not allow recreational facilities in the General Industrial zone, but rather recommends primarily manufacturing type uses in the zone with “a limited range of commercial businesses to support the businesses” such as restaurants, service stations and hardware stores. The commercial “members only” soccer complex facility does not support the existing industrial manufacturing, body shop and recycling uses in the General Plan General Industrial category.

The Finding of Fact of 4. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City of Baldwin Park has not been made in that:

As
shown below and previously discussed in this document, the granting of a variance to allow a reduced side and rear yard setbacks is not consistent with the General Plan and policies.

1.General Plan Land Use Goal 2.0: “Accommodate new development that is compatible with and complements existing conforming land uses.”

The proposed new development is not compatible with and complement ing to existing conforming land uses.” The proposed 25’ tall and 150’ wide soccer complex, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields on the second level is not compatible with the existing , primarily single story, conforming Industrial uses, nor is the proposed 25’ tall and 150’ wide soccer complex , with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields on the second level compatible with or c omplementary to the existing, primarily single story homes in the adjacent residential uses.

2.Gen
eral Plan Land Use Policy 2.5: “Require that industrial development provide adequate buffers at the designated boundaries with adjacent uses to prevent impacts on residences due to noise, traffic, parking, light and glare, and differences in scale; to ensure privacy; and to provide visual compatibility.”

Adequate buffers are not provided. The proposed 25’ tall and 150’ wide soccer complex, with 4 outdoor soccer fields on the second level will generate illegal levels of noise, traffic and parking problems, light glare and trash, lack of privacy, and be visually incompatible with adjacent residential homes and is not compatible with the existing conforming Industrial or adjacent residential uses.

As one of the residences directly abutting the project site is the home a 30-year special needs son of the property owners (a son who has seizures triggered by loud noise and light glare) this is completely unacceptable.

A zone Variance to allow all structures to encroach into the rear yard setback to within 5 feet of the rear property line, adjacent to the residential home properties, even though the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 53.050.030 specifically requires a 20- foot setback for all new structures built in the Industrial zone which abut existing residential homes , is not “buffering”. The application lacks a legal, sufficient, and adequate buffer to protect the adjacent residences.
53 3.General Plan Land Use Policy 2.6 : “Require that the external lighting of commercial and industrial properties be confined to the site to avoid adverse impacts on adjacent land uses due to light spillover or glare.”
The applicant has not submitted any Photometric or Light Plans that show that the lighting at the proposed commercial soccer complex will be confined to the site

5.General Plan Land Use Policy 7.4: Require adequate on-site parking and circulation of developments so that roadways serving these projects can better serve traffic demands. Site review requirements should discourage on-street parking.

One hundred and fifty-two (152) parking spaces are required but only 39 parking spaces are provided. There is no existing on- street parking on Joanbridge St reet nor does the existing rolled-curb street design allow any on-street parking.

7.G
eneral Plan Noise Element Goal 1.0: Integrate noise considerations into land use planning decisions.

General Plan Noise Element NE12: Acoustical analysis will be required for projects that will generate noise potentially effecting sensitive receptors.

The Planning Commission staff report did not discuss the noise that would be generated by
the proposed project. The negative effect of the illegal noise to be generated by the proposed soccer complex were not identified or even discussed in the staff report. An acoustical analysis Noise Monitoring Field Report, (Exhibit N) as shown below was commissioned and submitted by the applicant as a requirement of the CEQA review for the proposed elevated soccer fields complex and included in the Initial Study attached to this proposal (Exhibit IS). However, although the Noise Monitoring Field Report was submitted to the Planning Commission as part of the Initial Study for their review, the Noise Monitoring Field Report was not provided to the Planning Commission and was not discussed in the staff report to the Planning Commission. The Resolution of Approval for the proposed project does not contain any Conditions of Approval specifically requiring the applicant to meet the Noise standards of the residential areas adjacent to the proposed soccer complex facility site.

The proposed soccer complex facility will therefore generate noise during both day and the evening hours of operation substantially above the allowed levels for a new use in an Industrial zone abutting an existing residential Zone thus making the proposed soccer complex facility not allowed to be constructed at the proposed location, per Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.140.020 Performance Standards, noted above, which states: “Buildings and land uses shall not be used or constructed if they create a dangerous, noxious, fire, explosive or other hazard; noise an illegal use at the proposed location.”

153.210.430 DETERMINATION.

The Planning Commission may impose conditions and/or require guarantees for the variance to ensure compliance and to prevent adverse or detrimental impacts to the surrounding neighborhood. Variances shall be granted only when the Planning Commission determines that the proposed development or activity complies with all of the following findings.
55 In the case of the Finding of Facts for the granting of the proposed Zone Variance ZV 23-01, none of the Finding of Facts can be made, therefore, per City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.210.430 DETERMINATION, the Planning Commission can not approve Zone Variance ZV 23-01.

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)/ Noticing (pg.6)

Planning Commission Staff Report: (pg. 6)
“The initial study prepared for the Project disclosed that the Project will have A significant impact on the environment. Mitigation measures have been incorporated into the project’s design and as conditions of approval to reduce impacts on the environment to a less than significant level.”

Public Comment:

Mitigation Measures (Exhibit MM) have not been incorporated into the project’s design. • Mitigation Measure AES-1 requires the applicant to submit additional documentation as part of the required Schematic Lighting Plan, such as photometric site plans. The applicant has not submitted a Schematic Lighting Plan.

Mitigation Measures that have not been included in the Conditions of Approval:
• Mitigation Measure CUL -1 regarding cultural resources discovered during groundbreaking.
• GEO-1: Paleontologist required if necessary.
• HAZ-1 & HAZ-2: regarding the presence of asbestos.
• TRA-1: In the case of a full parking lot, the applicant shall pass out flyers to the people trying to find parking spaces, telling them where else they can park on the surrounding residential neighborhood streets.

The Mitigated Negative Declaration Resolution PC 23-29, which is required by CEQA to include all the Mitigation Measures of the Initial Study, only includes the requirements of how to handle Native American remains or artifacts, which renders the Mitigated Negative Declaration invalid.

Per the Mitigated Negative Declaration, Resolution PC 23-29 , Attachment #1, Section 2:

As the decision making body for the Project, the Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Initial Study /MND and administrative record including all oral and written comments received during the public review period…… (1) finds the initial Study/MND contains a complete and accurate reporting of the environmental impacts associated with the Project…….. (2) find the Initial Study /MND and administrative record have been completed in compliance with CEQA.”

56 Section 3. Based on the Initial Study /MND and the administrative record including all written and oral evidence presented to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission (3) finds that all environmental impacts…are either insignificant or can be mitigated to a level of insignificance pursuant to the Mitigation Measures outlined in the MND. [but not included in the Conditions of Approval, so non-binding to the applicant] The Planning Commission further finds that there is (4) no substantial evidence in the administrative record supporting a fair argument the project may result insignificant environmental impacts….”

The Planning Commission cannot make Finding #1, Finding #2, Finding #3 or Finding of Fac
t #4. Therefore, the application for the construction of the proposed two Level, 23,259 square foot soccer complex facility, covering 84% of the lot; with four (4) soccer fields outdoor on the second level of a 25’ tall square monolithic structure, 167- feet deep by 150- feet wide; producing noise above allowed levels; intrusive nighttime light/glare above allowed levels; insufficient parking per code; increased traffic congestion and personal privacy and safety intrusions should be denied due to non- compliance with CEQA.

Exhibit A
Petition and letters against the project
Heltro,
My narne is .Toana Fang, and tr grew up otl Califomia Ave, in Baldwin Park. I am writing to yori to strongly oppose the addition of the soccer complex being proposed for 14412 & 14424 Joanbridge Street in tsaldwin Fark. This proposed complex'wouid be right next to my childhood home.

This neighborhood is not the right place for this complex. We are sun-ounded by the one-lane street of Maine Ave, which is not set up to handle the traffic influx that this place will bring.

Further, rnany people unfainiliar with the area get lost here. Potential customers wouid frequentiy get trost and tum onto California Ave (not a through street), causing a disfurbance to our neighborhood.

In adclition to traffic, parking will be a major issue. The proposed parking structure is not enough, and thus, customers would park onto sunounding streets, including ours, which are typically already full on a day-to-day basis. By allowing this business to build here, yori will be preventing community members from parkingnear their homes. We will have no place to park.

Furtheq when looking at the other locations of Lab Five, I see that their hours are 8am-midnight &!_ipq;liqlv*!!_Ab-j$v,e.qqtE,iE-q_ntaq!1) . Further, they have the option for clients to schedule events outside of these hours. This means that there is a 2417 period of noise. That is not okay. Soccer tournaments, games, and events are inlerently loud and should not be built within neighborhoods, such as ours.

Community members have dogs, children, and adults who are sensitive to noise. This will disrupt their living. The large sporting lights that will be built upon a roof will glare into our homes, once again 2417 . Thris will also deprive us of our privacy as event-goers can see into our homes. This is not okay. Once again, I skongly oppose this project because it wiltr tremendously negatively affect communify members of Baldwin Park. Please think about the residents that have lived here for decades, and reject this proposal. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Joana Fang

We have supplied you a drawing of a side view of the pnoposed soecen field and the exisfing honne dlreetly behimd the ffeld at 3.44i-g California.

This drawing shows the signifieant height diffenenee of the two pnoperfies and amplifies the effeets of light pollution into the California stneet properties. This light pollulfion is nrot aceeptable and should never be allowed by the planning commission" The developer does not indicate where on how high the light poles will be, but it is assumed that they wiNl be 2CI to 25 feet above the playing surnfaee so the players wilX not have light directly in their eyes.

Noise pollution from ongoing garnes will disnupt the wel! being of the nesidents adjaeent to the proposed ffelds as well as linniting those residents use of their own back yands due to light and noise pollultion fronn this facillty"
Acconding to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, L7 percent of adults have perrnanent damage to their hearing due to nolse.

Any sound above 85 dB can cause hearing loss, and the loss is related both to the power of the sound as well as the length of exposure. you know you are listening to an 85-dB sound if you have to raise your voice to be heard by somebody else.
ln the applicants own noise monitoring field report, noise tevels of 91.8 db were recorded in Pacoima between 6;10 and 6:25 PM. On 1,/ZS/ZOZ3.

Residents should not have to accept what planning is proposing.

How would you like to have this in your back yard?
lf you can honestly say that you wouldn't mind this in your back yard, go ahead and vote for it...if not then turn this project down"..this is not the place for it.

1 To: The City of Baldwin Park Planning Commission
From: Susan Cole, 14419 E. California Ave, Baldwin Park:

Subject: CP 23-05 & PR 23-21
Submitted via email to Nick Baldwin ([email protected]) 3:30 pm 3/20/25
Regarding the application CP 23-05 & PR 23-21 before you for review on March 26, 2025, to over-build an Industrial property located at 14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St., Baldwin Park, my neighbors and I live right behind the subject properties on residentially zoned properties on California Avenue. We are absolutely opposed to this project. I have attached signed petitions and letters that were signed when this application first went before the Planning Commission before the project was continued to a date uncertain, and we are definitely still opposed to the proposed project. (Exhibit A) I’m sorry this document is so long, but with only 5 minutes to address all the neighborhood concerns at the public hearing, and with the requirement that any decision appeal or legal dispute requires the documentation of disputed facts, I need to be as clear as possible.

The applicant for CP 23-05 & PR 23-21 is still wanting to build a new, twenty-five foot (25’) tall, 14,518 square foot, two story concrete structure to wrap around the existing 6,781 square foot building on 14412 Joanbridge St., resulting in a 21,299 square foot soccer complex. The massive concrete structure is required in order to support four (4) new elevated soccer fields, with the biggest footprint possible and the least amount of on-site parking possible. The existing 6,781 square foot industrial building at 14412 Joanbridge St. is currently being used to house one large soccer field (Exhibit B) but the property owner wants to expand the Futbl Game Changers business located there to add 4 new boutique, smaller soccer fields to maximize revenue and accommodate more paying customers.

These smaller type soccer fields, such as SOFIVE soccer, located at 699 S. Barranca Street, Covina and LAB 5 Soccer Complex in Pacoima and Gardena, have become a popular trend to allow what is called “5x5 soccer play”, whereby small, usually adult, teams of 5 players each team can train and play intense, competitive soccer. (Exhibit C). The SOFIVE soccer facility in Covina and LAB 5 Soccer Complex locations were referenced in the applicant’s noise studies, a part of the administrative record, as examples of similar noise generation uses. (Exhibit D) 2 The business description provided by the applicant, not the business owner, states their initial intention is to offer only small group training sessions within the huge 21,299 sqft. soccer complex facility. However, with the investment costs associated with the purchase of the industrial property, design fees, and the grading/excavation/construction costs required for the completion of the soccer complex facility, other more lucrative and intense uses can also be offered and utilized at the completed facility. There are no Conditions included in the draft Conditions of Approval for this project that would limit the use of the soccer facility to just small training groups. This lack of constraints leaves the door open to allow other unexpected uses at the completed soccer complex facility for large functions. Functions such as 5x5 soccer games, multiple-team competitions, multiple-team scrimmages, soccer birthday party rentals, and other noise/trash/ traffic generating uses would be occurring on 5 soccer fields, simultaneously! The draft Conditions of Approval also don’t specifically state hours and days of operations, allowing a 24/7 day and hour operation.

The object of any business is to be as successful as possible and to grow the business as much as possible. I believe this commercial soccer complex facility would be the same, as the property owner would want recoup the millions of dollars invested just the purchase and development of this property. Any and all entitlements granted by the Planning Commission are attached to the property, so the property owner can sell the rights to construct a soccer facility complex at this location, along with the property, only constrained by what is included in the Conditions of Approval. At this time, having only access to the 12/13/23 draft Conditions of Approval, the project as proposed would allow the construction and use of a 21,299 sqft. structure; 25’ tall; located within 10’ of residential homes; covering 84% of the lot in a zone where only 50% lot coverage is allowed; providing insufficient parking; generating noise, light and traffic levels that exceed the required standards of the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Code; with a use that is inconsistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan.

Per the 3/17/25 meeting with Nick Baldwin, Baldwin Park City Planner/Acting Community Development Director:
3 • The CEQA review for the revised CP 23-05 & PR 23-21 application was changed from the originally submitted Mitigated Negative Declaration to a Class 32 categorical exemption review. This change favors the applicant because the Class 32 Categorical Exemption requires an even lower lever of project review than did the originally submitted Mitigated Negative Declaration. The draft Mitigated Negative Declaration clearly showed that the prosed project would have a negative environmental impact, which is probably why the applicant chose to use another, easier and looser type of environmental review.

The Class 32 Categorical Exemption was initially created by the State of California to expedite housing in-fill development. This CEQA exemption can only be used to shield a project from an in-depth environment review if the proposed project can be shown to be consistent with the Baldwin Park General Plan and the Baldwin Park Municipal Code. This project is not consistent with either the Baldwin Park General Plan or the Baldwin Park Municipal Code, as illustrated below.

Therefore, the Class 32 Categorical Exemption cannot be used for CEQA review for this particular soccer complex facility project. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is required.
• Per N
ick Baldwin, Baldwin Park City Planner/Acting Community Development Director, the Design Review PR 23-21 application, site plan, and elevations have only been revised to remove the original reduced rear yard setback Zoning Variance application, but the proposed 10’ rear yard setback now requested still does not meet the requirements of BP Municipal Zoning Code Sections 153.050.030 & 153.050.030.A2, which clearly requires a minimum 20’ rear yard rear setback.

In addition, the original, existing buildings on the proposed project Industrial site have an existing 40’ rear setback (14412 Joanbridge St.) and an existing 50’ rear yard setback (14424 Joanbridge St.) as shown on the submitted site plans There is no precedent to approve such a drastically reduced rear yard setback. A Zoning Variance is required to be added to this review, for the currently proposed reduced rear yard setback.
• The submitted site plan proposes a front set back of 3’; BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.050.030 requires a front yard setback of 5’.

A Zoning Variance for a reduced front yard setback is required. • The submitted site plan proposes a lot coverage of 84%; BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.050.030 only allows a lot coverage of 50%.

A Zoning Variance for lot coverage is required.
• The submitted site plan proposes a Floor Area ratio of .88 FAR. BP General Plan Land Use LU policy 2.5 only allows a FAR of .75 in the Industrial land use area. A Zoning Variance for an increase in Floor Area Ratio is required. • The noise studies submitted by the applicant show that the project will create more noise than the BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.140.070 and the General Plan Land Use Policy LU2.5 will allow. (Exhibit D) The proposed soccer facility would generate

91.8 d
bA decibels of noise (day time hours)

78.3 dbA decibels of noise (evening hours).

These levels are higher than the Noise Levels Allowed per BP Municipal Zoning Code Table 153.140.070 which are:
55 dbA decibels of noise (day time hours)
50 dbA decibels of noise (evening hours)
• The submitted site plan proposes 39 parking spaces. BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.150.040 Parking requires 152 parking spaces for a recreation soccer facility use of the proposed size. A Zoning Variance to the parking requirements is required.
5 • The proposed project is not consistent with BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.140.040.F and General Plan Land Use Policy LU 2.5 which both do not allow any light to spill over from the proposed project into the adjacent residential lots. The applicant’s photometric light survey (Exhibit E), submitted as part of the administrative record as Schematic Light Plan for CP 23-05, ZV 23-01, PR 23-21 for 14412 & 14424 Joanbridge St. Baldwin Park, shows the project as generating a maximum light foot candle measurement of 52.7 – 52.2 fc/foot candle unit of light, with the maximum foot candle measurement of .1 units of light spilling over to the adjacent properties on all sides. It clearly shows that the proposed elevated exterior soccer field sports lights will shine onto adjacent residential properties and will have a negative impact on the adjacent residential properties. The proposed exterior soccer field sports flood lighting does not meet the standards of the City and should not be approved.
• The proposed project is not consistent with BP General Plan Land Use Policy LU 2.5 and BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.210.160 which require that new construction on Industrial properties that abut residential properties provide visual compatibility with, and preserve the privacy of, the residential homes. The stark urban design of the proposed project is not visually compatible with the existing single-family homes adjacent to the subject property and not compatible with the existing industrial buildings on Joanbridge St. In addition, the location of the 25’ tall elevated soccer fields along the shared property line with the residential uses will compromise the expected privacy of the residential rear yards. • The proposed project is not compatible with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Goal and Policies as follows:
o Land Use Goal 2.0 – Compatible Development Standards. The proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties, is not compatible with existing adjacent single-story, single-family residential development directly abutting the project site nor is it compatible with the mostly single- story industrial development
o Land Use Policy 2.5 – Land Use Intensity/Density. The proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 6 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties will cause negative impacts on the adjacent residential and industrial properties regarding noise, inadequate parking, light and glare, privacy, differences in scale and visual incompatibility, as detailed above.
o Land Use Policy 2.6 – Lighting on Commercial/Industrial Properties.

The proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties will cause negative impacts on the adjacent residential properties due to the use of the outdoor soccer sports flood lights for the elevated outdoor soccer fields. The submitted lighting plan (Exhibit E) clearly shows the new soccer fields will generate the prohibited light spillover.
o Land Use Policy 7.4 – Adequate Parking. The design and proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, covering 22,067 square feet of the 26,244 sqft. lot (84% lot coverage) will not leave enough room for the required number of on -site parking spaces and will not provide adequate on -site parking for customers . Inadequate parking will cause patrons of the new soccer facility to park on private property on Joanbridge St., where street parking is prohibited, and to spill over into the adjacent residential neighborhood streets, where street parking is already severely limited.
o Land Use Noise Element NE12 - B ased on the applicants submitted Noise Studies (Exhibit D) the proposed project will produce noise levels above the allowed decibels allowed in residential properties. • As of 3/20/25, there were no Design Review Finding of Fact to review. • As of 3/20/25, the re were no revised Findings of Fact for Conditional Use Permit CP 23-05 to review.

san Cole, property owner 14419 E. California Avenue, Baldwin Park, CA
3/26/25
Re: Public Comments on 3/26/25 Planning Commission Staff Report CP 23-05 & PR 23-21
Dear Commission: The submitted Staff Report is treating the proposed 21,143 square foot soccer facility complex as if it will be located in the middle of a light industrial business park, surrounded by other Industrial uses.

However, the reality is that the proposed structure and the proposed use are being proposed for a unique location. The unique location is two small industrial lots on Joanbridge Street in north Baldwin Park.

The applicant proposes to merge the two industrial lots, to form one industrial lot which will continue to abut an existing residential neighborhood.

Both the Baldwin Park General Plan and the Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code explicitly address any new construction and any new use on industrial property that abuts existing residential properties as being in need of additional scrutiny and special considerations and both guiding documents have specifically applicable policies and particular re
quirements that will apply to this project.

The specifically applicable General Plan Policies are: Land Use Policies LU 2.5 allowed uses, on-site parking, no street parking, lot coverage, adequate setbacks from existing residential development, no noise over the allowable levels, no spill-over light and glare, adequate buffer between new industrial construction and existing residential homes for visual compatibility.
2 The particular requirements of the Municipal Zoning Code are: Section 150.050
.030 lot coverage; Section 153.040.070 noise; Section
153.050.030 larger setbacks; Section 153.140.070 noise; Section 153.140.040 no light/glare; Section 153.150.010 off-street parking; Section 153.050.020 recreational soccer use; Section 153.210.160 privacy and visual compatibility; Section 153.150.040 on-site parking.

The General Plan Policies and Municipal Zoning Code requirements regarding any new uses and all new development on an Industrial property are not suggestions, they are mandates. Unfortunately, the prepared staff report, recommendations and Resolutions regard these mandates as optional and open to unfounded interpretations and capricious changes.

The residents of the California Avenue neighborhood and Maine Street homes request that the Planning Commission deny the Proposed development and use, based on the fact that this application, after being continued for a year in order to allow for revisions to the application’s site plan/elevations and changes to the operation and use, in order to better meet the objectives and Policies of the Baldwin Park General Plan as well as the requirements of the Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code, has been re-submitted but the proposed project still fails to meet the objectives and Policies of the Baldwin Park General Plan and has failed to meet the requirements of the Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code.

In addition, the presented Staff Report as written, is too full of mis- information, contradictions and outright errors for the Planning Commission to use it as a tool to make an informed decision regarding the proposed 21,143 square foot elevated soccer fields facility complex.

Thus, the residents of the residential neighborhood abutting the proposed, ill-fitting soccer facility complex construction and use, request denial of the project.
3 To further support the request of denial, the following facts illustrate the defi
ciencies and inadequacies of the Planning Staff review and report.

Planning Staff Report Discussion section pg.2
The staff report describes the proposed project as a request to “allow a re
creational facility within an existing commercial complex.” The existing buildings along Joanbridgre Street are individual, freestanding industrial buildings. The proposed site is not “in a commercial complex.” A non-tax generating service use is not consistent with the General Plan Policies and Municipal Zoning Code requirements for the tax-generating industrial zone.

The staff report identifies the proposed construction as a “parking structure” and states that there is a “second floor above the parking area as having 3 outdoor soccer fields”. The proposed site plan shows 4 pl
aying fields.

Zoning Section pg. 2:

The staff report states that “The proposed parking area and outdoor soccer
fields will measure the same height as the existing building, a total of 25’ measured from finished grade to the highest point of the protective mesh wiring on the second floor.” The staff report further states, this is ”making the building height compliant with code standards.”
Response: However, the staff report then states that the project, as prese
nted, is in compliance with the Lot Coverage development standard and doesn’t need a zoning variance at all because per the definition of Lot Coverage. “The percentage of the total lot area covered by enclo
sed structures and/or carports, but excluding
uncovered steps, driveways, walks, covered patios, terraces and 4 swimming pools” doesn’t apply to this project, because “the subject proj
ect does not propose any new enclosed “structures” on the first floor”. Even though the project was described as a “parking structure” and it is obviously has a foundation on the first floor as well as constructed bathrooms, permanent concrete stair wells and an elevator. This statement is incorrect.

The subject project is indeed proposing a structure on the first floor because,
as described in the staff report project descriptions as quoted above, the first floor structure will be the “parking structure”.

Further, the parking structure is constructed and operates as a “carport’ sheltering the customer’s cars. In addition, the definition of a structure in BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220 is: “Structure. Anything constructed or erected, which requires a fixed position on the ground or is attached to a building or other structure having a fixed location on the ground.” Clearly, the proposed 14,518 square foot concrete slab designed to hold the proposed exterior soccer fields construction with su
pporting concrete pillars and walls, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) is a structure.

Additionally, the staf f report describes the outdoor soccer fields as being on “
the second floor above the parking area” as and the
architectural plans, pg. A1.2, identify the “upper floor” as including the outdoor soccer fields.. Page A1.2 goes onto call out that area of the second floor above the parking area as a 14,518 square foot concrete slab, covering both the 14412 &the 14424 Joanbridge St properties.

By adding the new 14,518 sqft. parking structure area with the 6,625 sq
ft. floor area of the remaining existing building on 14412 Joanbridge Street, you get a total of 21,143 square feet of lot coverage over a 26,244 square foot lot which equals a lot coverage of 81%. Based on this corr
ect information, the lot coverage is 81% which does not meet 5 the requirement of BP Municipal Code, which is 50% allowed, as sho
wn in Table 153.050.030 below.

Therefore, the project is not in compliance with the Lot Coverage requirement and requires a Zoning Variance to proceed, which has not been included with the project application. Therefore, the project application is incomplete and cannot be approved.

Architectural Design Section pg. 2
The submitted elevations show the front walls of the proposed 21,143 sq
uare foot block building with a 12.5 foot tall wood façade with a 12.5 foot tall black wire screening on top. The mesh screen wire will be 77% open per the submitted plans. The sides of the huge building will utilize an existing concrete block wall with 4 feet of wire mesh between block wall and the bottom of the concrete slab that supports the 4 soccer fields to inexpensively cage in the sides of the structure. On the south side of the proposed structure, where the soccer facility will abut the residential homes, they have added additional diagonal sheets of the mesh caging wire. The proposed 12.5’ foot tall “decorative wire mesh screening”, as shown on the submitted elevations and on pg. M-1.1 of the plans is, per the applicant, to screen the soccer fields. However the mesh wire fence will not screen anything. They will not screen the outdoor soccer field from view; nor will the 77% open, black caging wire screen block any noise, lights or trash from exiting the soccer field complex property onto the residential properties directly below the 25- foot tall, towering structure. Instead they will give the impression of a

12.5’ prison fence on top of a 12.5’ prison block wall.

On page 3, the staff report states that “As a condition of approval, the applicant will also be required to install mature trees and plants to 7 soften the south elevation and create an additional barrier between the curre
nt residential properties abutting the soccer facilities.” Response: In fact, the Planning conditions of approval do not contain this condition. Therefore, if the Planning Commission were to approve the submitted draft Resolution PC 23-28 , the applicant would not be required to provide any type of buffering barrier between the existing residential homes and the proposed huge soccer facility complex structure, thus making the project inconsistent with the General Plan and nonconforming with the Municipal Code.

Th
ere is a condition (o) which requires a landscape plan, but it doesn’t include the requirement to install “mature trees and plants to soften the south elevation” either.

In addition, the definition of mature trees, per the BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220.140 is: “any tree located in the front yard,…..rear yard setback and is greater than 18” in diameter or is greater than 40 feet in height."
The submitted elevations and site plans show on pg. A-1.1 that the 10’ wide rear yard setback is completely paved for parking, except for a skinny 2 foot 3 inches of planting area next to the existing 6’ tall concrete block retaining wall which runs along the rear property line, dividing the existing residential homes from the Industrial properties.

The applicant is proposing, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) to re-use the existing concrete retaining wall and attach the wire caging mesh fencing to the top of the wall and connect the fencing to the roof of the parking structure, at the base of the soccer field platform, caging in the parking area along the southern property line.

Obviously, mature trees more that 18” in diameter and/or 40 feet tall cannot be planted in the proposed skinny 2’3” planting area, let alone 8 “mature plants to soften the southern elevation.” In fact, the existing ol
d block retaining wall, which was first constructed in the 1970’s and was repaired in the 1990’s, is placed right on the property line and leaves no room for the applicant to plant anything that could soften the block wall or hide the wire mesh caging fence to be constructed on top of the wall nor create any additional barrier, as erroneously stated in the staff report.

The submitted elevation pg. A-1.4 and pg. A-1.3 falsely show nineteen (19) 30 foot tall mature trees planted in the 2’3” rear setback and growing through the wire mesh wire fencing to soften the rear elevation, when in reality, this is impossible. Section 1 on pg.A-1.3 shows the same trees planted in the 10’ rear yard setback with the cars parked in the drive aisle while Section 4 shows the same view with the cars parked on top of the same mature trees.

To sum up, the staff report promises a condition of approval to ensure this landscaping buffer requirement. The conditions of approval are missing any such condition. It is an impossibility for the applicant to construct the project according to the submitted plans.

Additionally, the General Plan also calls for a “buffer area between any new construction on an Industrial property that abuts existing residential properties”, which has been demonstrated to also be an impossibility with the proposed huge structure design.

Therefore, the architectural design and landscaping for the proposed project is not consistent with the BP General Plan and does not meet the development requirements of the Municipal Code. However, the Planning staff report is recommending approval of the project, another in
stance of mis-information, contradictions and outright errors in the staff report which will make it impossible for the Planning Commission 9 to use it as a tool to make an informed decision regarding the proposed 21,
143 square foot elevated soccer fields facility complex.

Business Operations Plan and Hours of Operation. Pg. 3
Planning condition of approval (a) of the draft Resolution PC 23-28 do
cument requires “that the property shall be developed and maintained in substantial accordance with the Business Plan Narrative, included as Attachment 3 to the Staff Report, dated March 26,2025 and min
or amendments to the business operations shall be subject to the discretion of the Community Development Director.” There is no Attachment 3 entitled “Business Plan Narrative” attached to the staff report. Therefore, there are no legal limits or boundaries on the times of operation, types of uses allowed, number of persons allowed at one time on
the second-floor elevated soccer fields. In addition, no proposed Hours of Operation listed. Therefore, the condition of approval to enforce the “Attachment #3 Business Plan Narrative” would be unenforceable, if approved.

Although the staff report does not provide the applicant’s Business Operations Plan or Business Plan Narrative, it does include a “Training Session” schedule detailing when and how the applicant would want to use the 21,143 square foot, 25’ tall soccer facility complex with 4 elevated soccer fields and one full-sized indoor soccer field for training, sports performances, and recreational uses which are:
o for at least 7 hours every weekday afternoon, evening and night of the year, from before 4 pm – to after 10 pm; o for at least 11 hours every Saturday of the year from before 8:00 am to after 6 pm;
o for at least 7 hours every Sunday of the year from before 8:00 am to after 2:00 pm.
10 o Th ere is a “disclaimer” attached to the “Training Session” document stating “Players must register for sessions,
including recreational use. All sessions and recreational use are booked 24 hours in advanced. Booking sessions
are maxed out and only the number of players noted will be permitted into the sessions. There are no walk-ins
permitted only those players registered for the session will be allowed into the lab. No Exceptions.” However, this disclaimer only applies to the training sessions at the soccer lab.

There are no conditions in the “Training Sessions” document or in the draft Resolution PC 23-28 that would define or limit general hours of operation for the soccer complex facility pertaining to the use of the proposed gym, the proposed 2 meeting rooms, and the 4 offices or any other more intense uses.

There are no conditions in the “Training Sessions” document that would define, or prohibit any other activities, such as private parties, 5x5 soccer games, scrimmages, etc. in addition to the 4 - 10 pm weekday & 8 – 6 pm Saturday & 8 – 2 Sunday schedules of the training sessions.

There are no conditions in the “Training Sessions” document that would define or limit the number of members, i.e. paying customers at the facility at any given time, or limit any other activities.

There are no conditions in the “Training Sessions” document that limits the applicant/property owner/business operator to only the training sessions, leaving the door wide open to any type of additional uses, which is in conflict with the reason for the Conditional Use Permit approval process.
11 The “Training Sessions” document estimates that there will be up to 11 peop
le on each of the 4 soccer playing fields, including the full-sized interior soccer field, at any given time, not including one or two players on the 1,643 square foot practice soccer field. This estimate would equal 44 members of the private soccer facility complex, playing and parking at the complex at any given time. In addition, you would need to account for the number of staff and additional members who will be using the proposed gym, the proposed 2 meeting rooms, and the 4 offices. Approximating 2 people in each of those facilities at any given time will generate the need for at least 14 more parking spaces added to the needed 44 off-site member and staff parking spaces needed and the proposed soccer facility complex will require at least 54 parking spaces to be available at any given time to avoid negative parking and traffic impacts on the adjacent industrial businesses or on the adjacent residential use.

The staff report erroneously states that ”the required parking for a recreational facility is one parking space for every employee present at the facility and one additional parking space for every class room” equaling only 13 required parking spaces. The fact is that, per Municipal Code per section 153.150.040, that mistakenly stated requirement is for an elementary or secondary school (private), a use which is not even allowed in the Industrial zone at all.

Actually, the Municipal Code per section 153.150.040, see below, requires 1 space/150 square feet of building area for a commercial recre
ational facility, which is what the proposed project really is.

Therefore, based on the proposed 21,143 square footage of the proposed soccer facility application, the required number of parking spaces is 152 spaces, as shown below.

The applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces. As previously shown abo
ve, based on the information submitted as part of the applicant’s “Training Session” schedule, when the proposed soccer facility complex is used only for training sessions, it will generate a need for at least 54 parking spaces to be available at any given time to avoid negative parking and traffic impacts on the adjacent industrial businesses and on the adjacent residential use.

Therefore, the project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code Parking requirement 153.150.040 and requires a Zoning 13 Variance to proceed, which has not been included with the project application. Therefore, the project application is incomplete and cannot be approved.

Previous facts point to the ability of the applicant/property owner to us
e the facility for other more intense use, as anticipated by the BP Municipal Code section 153.150.040. Since there are no Planning conditions of approval included in the attached PC 23-28 draft Resolution that would preclude the applicant/owner from using the facility for more intensive uses such as 5x5 game play, facility rental for birthday parties and special events or any other use, and there is no Business Operations Plan or Business Plan Narrative document that defines the proposed hours of operation, and there is no separate condition of approval that address the probable more intensive use of the property, there is no reason to believe that the applicant /property owner /business owner will limit the use of the subject commercial soccer facility complex to only training sessions.

The staff report states that conditions of approval have been included in the draft Resolution to address “issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents.” These impacting issues are:
structure setbacks, lot coverage; parking; traffic; noise; light and glare; trash generation; preservation of the privacy of the adjacent residential properties; differences in scale and visual compatibility.

Response: Unfortunately, the draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include a condition of approval requiring compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning code regarding lot coverage.

Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any condition of approval requiring compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code regarding structure setbacks.
14 Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any condition of approval re
quiring compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning code regarding the required 152 number of parking spaces.

Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any condition of approval requiring the business operator to modify the design and use of the proposed soccer facility complex to definitively show with a revised noise study that the project can meet requirements of the BP Municipal Zoning Code regarding noise.

Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include a condition of approval requiring the business operator to modify the design and use of the proposed soccer facility complex to definitively show with a revised light photometric study that the project can meet requirements of the compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code regarding light and glare.

Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include a condition of approval requiring consistency with the BP General Plan regarding preservation of the privacy of the adjacent residential properties.

Draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include a condition of approval requiring consistency with the BP General Plan requiring adherence with the BP General Plan regarding differences in scale and visual compatibility.

In fact, draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not even include a condition of approval requiring compliance with the submitted site plan and elevations for the project. So any approval of the draft Resolution for PC 23-28 by the Planning Commission would allow the applicant, or whoever next purchased the entitled property, to build without constraints and to use the soccer facility complex without constraints. 15 Therefore, the statement in the staff report that “conditions of app
roval have been included in the draft Resolution to address issues that could have an impact on surrounding businesses and residents is misleading and incorrect.

Traffic and Parking pg. 3
The Planning staff report states that, based on the “Training Session” do
cument, “staff does not believe that the proposed use will cause any adverse impacts on the surrounding industrial area”. Based on a 2024 environmental impact traffic study which calculated the calculated trip generation associated with a similar soccer facility complex, the Pacoima Fit 5 soccer complex, the traffic study shows on pg. 4, that 141 trips were generated on weekdays, between the hours of 4 – 6 pm.

After a deduction of 56 trips for “credit “ because the proposed project is in an industrial zone, the project was assigned a modified trip generation of 85 trips for 2 hours during 4-6 pm on a weekday evening.

Response: The study did not include the trips that would be generated on a Saturday, which is the longest and busiest day of the week for the proposed soccer facility complex, per the applicant “Training Sessions” estimation of number of players. Therefore, the estimated number of 85 trips generated daily by the proposed soccer facility complex is lower than would be realistic. The un-modified original number of 141 trips generated by the proposed facility in Baldwin Park is more realistic, although still under-counted because it still does not include the busiest Saturday traffic. However, the modified number was used to allow the applicant to avoid additional CEQA review beyond the minimal Categorical Exemption proposed by staff. The surrounding industrial area will indeed be negatively impacted when the arriving soccer players cannot find onsite parking at the proposed soccer facility complex and will try to first park close as close to the facility as 16 possible, even if it is on Joanbridge Street where there is no street parkin
g allowed and most businesses have posted “no parking” signs in front of their buildings. (see Exhibit J)
Unfo
rtunately, the staff report did not even attempt to calculate the negative impact of the soccer facility complex parking space deficit on the adjacent residential properties, as required by the City of Baldwin Park General Plan and Municipal Zoning Code.

The “Training Sessions” document lists the times that training sessions will be offered and the estimated number of soccer players playing at any given time. The Training Session envisions 54 players, aged 5 years old to 17 years old and 8 staff participating in training sessions, sport performance and recreational use, for a total of 62 people using the facility during the weeknight hours, from 4 – 10 pm when industrial zone businesses will be concluding their day shift and starting their night shift. 62 people trying to park in parking facility with only 39 parking spaces. Since the majority of students are projected to be young tender-age minors and under driving age, parking spaces must be allocated for the designated driver of each student which factors into the need for much more than 39 parking spaces at any given time, each weekday during the hours of operation, not including the increased number of soccer players attending the training sessions on Saturdays. This does not even include any additional parking demand generated by other types of unlisted activities that the soccer facility complex is allowed to offer, such gym use, meeting room rental, facility rental..

If there are no available parking spaces, the drivers will try to park on Joanbridge Street illegally (see Exhibit J). Since there is no street parking on Joanbridge Street, the drivers will try to park on the adjacent residential neighborhood streets of Maine Avenue or California Avenue. 17 Since both Maine Avenue and California Avenue have severely re
stricted on-street parking available, the continuous parking-seeking traffic on these two residential streets will cause an adverse impact on and undue problems for the residents on California Avenue and Maine Street. In addition, California Avenue is a very narrow, dead-end street, with on-street parking severely limited. Parking-seeking drivers will be forced to drive down a narrow, single-lane California Avenue and then turn around and drive back, without finding parking, but negatively impacting the normally quiet and safe residential neighborhood .

The staff report envisions parents and guardians, aside from generating the 141 new vehicle trips to the proposed soccer complex facility on Joanbridge Street, to be dropping their children off unsupervised in the Industrial area of north Baldwin Park and leaving them there for two hours before returning to pick them up again, rather than parking and waiting at the facility. This is not a realistic or acceptable assumption and has not been shown to be true in the traffic study, which did not include parking statistics.

The staff report states that “a condition of approval has been added to require the applicant to prepare a circulation and access plan to prevent queuing and idling on Joanbridge Street.”
The draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include a condition of approval requiring the applicant to prepare a circulation and access plan to prevent queuing and idling on Joanbridge Street.”
The staff report states that “conditions have been included in the Planning Commission Resolution to address potential parking issues.” The draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any conditions to address potential parking issues.
18 Therefore, regarding the overwhelming detrimental traffic and parking defi
ciency impact of the proposed soccer facility complex on the surrounding existing industrial and existing residential uses, the project will not only require a CEQA Environmental Impact Report, the project is not consistent with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan nor in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code and cannot be approve as presented.

Noise pg. 4
The staff report states that that “In order to assess the Project’s noise compati
bility with the Project area, a noise survey and measurement were conducted at SOFIVE Soccer Center located at 699 S. Brarranca Avenue, in Covina….This location was selected as a representative noise source because of its urban location and its operational characteristics are similar to the Project. This facility includes ten soccer fields of similar size as proposed by the project. The noise meter was placed near three fields that were being used…..at approximately 10 feet from the noise meter,… at approximately 30 feet from the noise meter and approximately 50 feet from the noise meter.” These activities are representative of the proposed conditions at the Project Site and also reflect comparable setback distances from the properties to the south of the Project Site.”
Response: This is the third noise study submitted for this project. The first two noise studies took place at the commercial, ground level LabFive soccer fields in Pacoima and Gardena and clearly showed that the similar type of soccer fields, proposed for Joanbridge Street would generate a level of noise that is unacceptable per the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code (Exhibit N Pacoima & Gardena Noise studies ) This is without factoring in the fact 19 that the soccer fields on Joanbridge Street are proposed to be elevated

12.5 fee
t above ground level which allows noise to travel further and without natural barriers.

20 In the third noise study, the SOFIVE Covina study performed at SOFIVE in
Covina (see Exhibit N for SOFIVE photos), the noise study once again shows that the soccer field use proposed for Joanbridge Street would generate a level of noise that is unacceptable per the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code. (Exhibit N), see tabl
e above.

In the SOFIVE Covina noise survey, the noise meter was placed 10’, 30’ and 50’ away from the soccer fields. In the case of the project site, the noise will be generated a mere 10’ from the residential property line and elevated 12.5’ above the ground and therefore the noise that will be received on the residential properties abutting the proposed project will be even louder.

The results of the SOFIVE Covina noise study for this project still show that the noise that will be generated by the five (5) new outdoor soccer fields, elevated on the top floor of a new 25’ tall structure, is still louder than the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code will allow. See comparison table above.

It should be noted that the Baldwin Park Municipal Code Noise Stan
dards are measured in straight decibels, but with times designations allowing the noise generated to be compatible with the time of day. The SOFIVE Covina noise study for this project provided the maximum (Lmax) an
d minimum (Lmin) noise generated levels,
which are straight decibel measurements. The Leq noise levels shown in the SOFIVE Covina report is a weighted and averaged noise measurements.

The staff report states “It is noted that the noise meter was placed adjacent to the nearest field and only a chain link fence was between the 22 meter and the noise sources. Thus, no substantive noise-attenuating barrier
s affected the referenced measurements.“
Response: Unfortunately, this is not correct. As you can see from the photos of the SOFIVE Covina photos, Exhibit C - Other Soccer Facilities, the
only chain link fencing on the SOFIVE Soccer, Covina site is around the perimeter of the entire facility. All the individual soccer fields themselves have 4’ – 6’ tall padded wood fences around the playing fields, which do act as noise-attenuating barriers. Therefore, the noise measurement presented in the SOFIVE Soccer Covina report already has the noise-attenuating barrier factored in, i.e. the noise generated by the existing soccer facility will be equivalent to the noise generated by the proposed soccer facility with the proposed 2” thick, vinyl removable padding.

The staff report states that “all off-site properties, including the residential uses to the south of the Project site, would be shielded by a 6-fo
ot-highpadded, would be shielded from soccer activities by a padded wall proposed for the entire perimeter of the second level soccer fields.” Response: Through a discussion with the applicant architect on February 5, 2024, and through research per the attached OSHA regulatory status data(see exhibit R), the “Rockwool” insulation is desi
gned for insulation of industrial piping, roofs and walls. The listed adverse physiochemical hazards are listed as eye, skin and upper respiratory irritation. The attached data also shows that the suggested “Rockwool” insulation is not currently being manufactured into vinyl padding for sports venues.

Per pg. A-1.3 ‘Sections’, of the submitted elevation plans, the 12.5’ tall up
per level of the 25’ tall structure will be wrapped in open metal fencing. The bottom 6’ section of upper-level fences will be lined with removable, 6’ tall vinyl sports fence padding, attached to the open metal 23 fencing with grommets, see Pg. M-1.1 Material Specifications. While any pad
ding may somewhat deflect the noise generated by the proposed elevated soccer fields, the submitted noise measurement from SOFIVE Covina, which is the noise measurement presented in the SOFIVE Soccer Covina report, already has the noise-attenuating barrier factored in, i.e. the noise generated by the existing soccer facility with 4’ – 6’ vinyl- covered wood perimeter barriers, will be equivalent to the noise generated by the proposed soccer facility with the proposed 2” thick, vinyl removable padding.

The 6’ top half of the metal-screened soccer fields will have no noise- attenuating material to impede sound from going through the top halves of the open perimeter fencing and into the adjacent residential and industrial properties. In addition, a hypothetical, unproven solution to the existing noise problem is not a mitigation measure and cannot be used as a pending condition of approval.

Resolution PC 23-28 Planning condition (h) “states : that the business shall be subject to the noise limits defined in the Baldwin Park Municipal Code. Music and microphone use shall be used indoors only; whistles and horns are prohibited.” It has been clearly shown that the project cannot meet the noise limits defined in the Code. This condition should be modified to leave only the restriction regarding whistles, horns, microphones and music.

It has been demonstrated that the predicted noise generation of the proposed soccer facility complex, which has been measured at 74.4 dbA maximum (day), and 64.9 maximum dBA (evening), will exceed the allowable level for noise to be received by the existing residential ho
mes, directly south of the soccer fields, which is, per Table 153.140.070.C of the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code: 55 dbA (day) and 50 dbA (evening).
24 Therefore, since the noise generated by the proposed soccer complex faci
lity will exceed the allowable noise levels to be received by a residential property in a residential zone located adjacent to an Industrial zone, the project is not consistent with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan nor in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code and cannot be approve as presented.

Light and Glare pg. 5
The staff report states that: “the applicant has provided a photometric plan …that is compliant with the Baldwin Park Municipal Code light and glare
standards”.

Response: Unfortunately, this is not true. The applicant has provided a ph
otometric plan which shows the project as generating a maximum light fo
ot candle measurement of 52.7 – 52.2 fc/foot candle units of light, with the maximum foot candle measurement of .1 units of light spilling over to the adjacent properties on all sides. Unfortunately, the applicant has not included a colored photometric survey for the revised rear yard setback. It is much easier to see with the colored diagram.

However, if you expand the photometric survey as presented digitally with the 3/26/25 staff report, you can see that the spillover lighting into the residential and industrial adjacent properties is still there This spillover is also reflected in the accompanying Statistics table, both found on pg.35 (Photometric study) of the staff report and in Exhibit L.

Ac
cording to the Statistics table, on PL1-3 south (the south property line where the Industrial zone subject property abuts the existing residential zone property) there is still a Maximum level of .1 fc of light spilling over the rear property line, even with the increased 10’ rear yard setback.

In addition, it should be noted that the 6’ tall fabric padding, proposed to l
ine the lower half of the soccer metal mesh fencing that surrounds 25 the elevated soccer fields, will only cover the bottom half of the see- throu
gh metal fencing. The top 6.5” top half of the see-through metal fencing will be open and will not prevent any glare from the outdoor sports flood lighting from being seen.

Further, the submitted photometric lighting plan also shows that the li
ght generated by the proposed flood lights for the interior of the Parking structure will also spill over the rear property line, as shown on the lighting schematic for the ground floor lights. The existing, 6’ concrete masonry wall may deflect the headlights of vehicles, but the flood lights are positioned higher than the wall inside the parking structure and the light from these fixtures will spill over the top of the wall for a generation of .1 foot candles.

BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.140.040.F and General Plan Land Use
Policy LU 2.5 both prohibit any light to spill over from the proposed project into the adjacent residential or industrial lots.

Contrary to what is stated in the staff report, the draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any condition to require the project applicant to demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions would not result in excessive spillage. However, a condition to require the project applicant to demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions would not result in excessive spillage is not necessary as the applicant has already shown that the proposed design will clearly result in liht spillover.

It has also been clearly shown that the proposed project cannot meet the requirements of the BP General Plan or the BP Municipal Code.

Therefore, the proposed project is not consistent with BP Municipal Zon
ing Code Section 153.140.040.F and General Plan Land Use Policy LU 2.5. The applicant’s photometric light survey clearly shows that the proposed elevated exterior soccer field sports lights will shine onto 26 adjacent residential and Industrial properties and will have a negative imp
act on the adjacent residential properties. The proposed exterior soccer field sports flood lighting does not meet the Light and Glare standards of the City and therefore the soccer facility complex cannot be approved.

Community Benefit pg.6
The staff report states that the proposed project will have a community benefit because it’s a recreational facility conveniently located in Bald
win Park.

Response: The part of the Baldwin Park Community that lives on the north side of Baldwin Park disagrees. The benefits of an expensive, me
mber’s only soccer facility complex will not outweigh the negative impacts generated by the from the proposed 25’ tall; 21,299 sqft., oversized soccer facility complex. Impacts such as, increased traffic, noise and light glare in the north part of the City. Any community member who needs to drive through the already congested intersection of Maine Avenue and Arrow Highway will feel the negative impact of increased traffic there. The community members who live on California Avenue, Maine Avenue and Baldwin Avenue will be greatly inconvenienced by the parking-seeking traffic on their narrow, parking- poor streets.

Lot Coverage pg.6
The staff report in this section states that the project is in compliance with the Lot Coverage development standard and doesn’t require a zon
ing variance because what the staff report previously labeled a “parking structure on the first floor with soccer fields on the second floor” (pg2 staff report) is not really a structure at all. Therefore, the definition of Lot Coverage, i.e. “The percentage of the total lot area covered by enclo
sed structures and/or carports, but excluding
27 uncovered steps, driveways, walks, covered patios, terraces and swimmi
ng pools” doesn’t apply, because “the subject project does not propose any new enclosed structures on the first floor.

Response: This statement is incorrect.

As previously discussed, the subject project is indeed proposing a structure on th
e first floor because, as described in the staff report project descriptions previously discussed, the first floor structure will be the “parking structure”. Further, the parking structure is constructed and operates as a “carport’ sheltering the customer’s cars.

In addition, the definition of a structure in BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220 is: “Structure. Anything constructed or erected, which requires a fixed position on the ground or is attached to a building or other structure having a fixed location on the ground.” Clearly, the proposed 14,518 square foot concrete slab designed to uphold the proposed exte
rior soccer fields construction with supporting concrete pillars and walls, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) is a structure.

Additionally, the staf f report describes “the second floor above the parking
area” as the outdoor soccer fields and the architectural plans, pg. A1.2, identify the “upper floor” as including the outdoor soccer fields and call out that area of the second floor above the parking area as a 14,518 square foot concrete slab, covering both the 14412 &the 1442
4 Joanbridge St properties. By adding the new 14,518 sqft. parking structure area with the 6,625 sqft. floor area of the remaining existing building on 14412 Joanbridge Street, you get a total of 21,143 square feet of lot coverage over a 26,244 square foot lot which equals a lot coverage of 81%. Based on this correct information, the lot coverage is 81%
which does not meet the requirement of BP Municipal Code, which is 50% allowed, as shown in Table 153.050.030 above.
28 Therefore, the project is not in compliance with the Lot Coverage requirement and requires a Zoning Variance to proceed, which has not been included with the project application. Therefore, the project application is incomplete and cannot be approved.

Rear yard setback pg 6: The staff report states: “although BPMC section 153.050.030(A)(2) requires an increased rear yard setback wher
e a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a property line with a residential zone and a proposed building exceeds one story, the open-air fields above the parking platform do no qualify as a building or structure because they have no roof and do not enclose space.

Therefore, the requirement to double the rear yard setback for a two- story building does not apply.”
Response: Section 153.050.030 (A) (2): Wherever a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a property line with an exclusively residential or a mixed-use zoned lot, any exterior new structure, or addition to an existing structure, that exceeds one story in height and that faces any rear or side lot line shall be set back twice the required setback.

The argument that the soccer fields are not a structure is not factual.

The definition of a structure in BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220 is:
“S
tructure. Anything constructed or erected, which requires a fixed position on the ground or is attached to a building or other structure having a fixed location on the ground.” Clearly, the 4 proposed exterior soccer fields and the required 12.5’ tall wire mesh fence, to be erected aroun
d the perimeter of the 14,518 ft square foot parking structure which has a fixed location on the ground, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) is an exterior new structure. On page 2 of the staff report the soccer
field areas are described as “the second floor above the parking
area” as the outdoor soccer fields and the architectural plans, 29 pg. A1.2, identify the “upper floor” as including the outdoor soccer fi
elds and as an exterior new structure.

The archi tectural plans, pg. A1.2, propose a 12.5’ tall, elevated soccer fie
lds, new outdoor sitting areas and new elevator to be erected upon the first story of the parking structure. Therefore, the total 25’ height of the entire new soccer facility structure will include the 12.5’ first story parking structure and the 12.5’ second floor elevated soccer fields, new outdoor sitting areas and new elevator. Since the second floor construction will exceed the height of the single story parking structure, the entire new proposed soccer facility complex will exceed one story in height. Therefore, the proposed new soccer facility complex be required to meet the requirements of BP Municipal Zoning Code Section 153.050.030 (A) (2) requiring the proposed new structure to have twice the required rear setback i.e. a twenty foot (20’) setback.

Thus, the project is not in compliance with the rear yard setback requirement and requires a Zoning Variance to proceed, which has not been included with the project application. Therefore, the project application is incomplete and cannot be approved.

General Plan Consistency pg. 7
The staff report states that the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. soccer facility complex is consistent with Land Use Goal 1.0 for balanced deve
lopment.

Response: Negatively impacting the existing residential development by i
nserting a new, non-compatible recreation use adjacent to that existing residential development is not balanced. It only benefits the property owner by increasing the value of his property at the expense of the existing residential property owner. A licensed, experienced and independent land assessor has testified that the approval of the 30 proposed soccer facility complex, abutting the existing homes will devalue the re
sidential properties by approximately 10%. Discussions with the LA County Assessor’s Office also support this claim.(ExhibitX) Therefore, the proposed project is not consistent with w Land Use Goal

1.0 fo
r balanced development
The staff report states that the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. soccer facility complex is consistent with Land Use Policy 1.4 to create local and
regional retail and service uses.

Response: Unfortunately, the proposed soccer facility complex will not create local and regional retail and service uses. The project site is curre
ntly being operated as a non-profit business soccer training school use, which does not generate any retail revenue and there has been no indication that the business model will change (Exhibit B) In contrast, the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. soccer facility complex is not consi
stent with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Goal and Policies as follows:
 Lan d Use Goal 2.0 – Compatible Development Standards. The proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the lo
cation of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties, is not compatible with existing adjacent single-story, single-family residential development directly abutting the project site nor is it compatible with the mostly single-story industrial development in the surrounding Industrial zone.
 Lan d Use Policy 2.5 – Land Use Intensity/Density. The proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of th
e 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties will cause negative impacts on the 31 adjacent residential and industrial properties regarding noise, in
adequate parking, light and glare, privacy, differences in scale and visual incompatibility, as detailed above.
 Lan d Use Policy 2.6 – Lighting on Commercial/Industrial Properties.

Inadequate parking will cause patrons of the new soccer facility to park on private property on Joanbridge St., where street parking is prohibited, (Exhibit J) and to spill over into the adjacent residential neighborhood streets, where street parking is already severely limited.
 Land Use Noise Element NE12 - Based on the applicants submitted Noise Studies (Exhibit D) the proposed project will produce noise levels above the allowed decibels allowed in residential properties.

Findings of Fact - Conditional Use Permit. pg.7
Finding of Fact 1 - Conditionally permitted: The use is conditionally permi
tted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter.
32 The staff report states: “The use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of Mun
icipal Code. Section 153.050.020 of the Municipal Code conditionally permits recreational facilities (soccer facility) in the I zone with an approval by the City’s Planning Commission. The project complies with the intent of the Industrial zone because it will provide service-oriented uses that serve local residents and businesses, consistent with Section 153.050.010 of the Municipal Code.” Response: Th e proposed project is not in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section153.050.010 –Intent and Purpose The project does not comply with the intent of the Industrial zone - Intent an
d Purpose. Per Municipal Code Section 153.050.010 INTENT AND PURPOSE, there are five commercial and industrial zones in Baldwin
Park, established to meet the commerce and service needs of the resident and business communities while ensuring compatibility with adjacent land uses. The zones are designed to accommodate different types and intensities of commercial and industrial deve
lopment. The Industrial zone in particular provides areas for the development of industries engaged in general assembly, manufacturing and processing, and support commercial uses.” The Industrial zone is not compatible with the construction and operation of an indoor /outdoor soccer complex facility as proposed, in that it is not a general assembly, manufacturing and processing, or support for commercial uses.

In addition, this Finding of Fact applies to compliance of the proposed soccer
complex use with the entire City of Baldwin Park Zoning Code Chapter 153, not just section 153.050.020 (Use Regulations). This means that there are requirements in the Zoning Code Chapter that this app
lication for a soccer complex facility is required to meet. 33 However, this particular application does not meet some of these re
quirements and it entirely ignores other requirements. These unaddressed requirements pertain to the Land Uses Standards and Developmental Standards, such as: Parking requirements, Noise Restrictions, Light/glare restriction, Lot coverage restrictions and Setback Requirements.

The project, as proposed, does not comply with the Baldwin Park Mun
icipal Code regarding Parking requirements, Noise Restrictions, Light/glare restriction, Lot coverage restrictions and Setback Requirements.
 Parking: The proposed project is not in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section
153.1

50.040. Parking, therefore Conditional Use Permit
Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made.

The “Training Sessions” document included in the project application, estimates
that there will be up to 11 people on each of the 4 soccer playing fields, including the full-sized interior soccer field, at any given time, not including one or two players on the 1,643 square foot practice soccer field. This estimate would equal 44 members of the private soccer facility complex, playing and parking at the complex at any given time. In addition, you would need to account for the number of staff and additional members who will be using the proposed gym, the proposed 2 meeting rooms, and the 4 offices. Approximating 2 people in each of those facilities at any given time will generate the need for at least 14 more parking spaces added to the needed 44 off-site member and staff parking spaces needed and the proposed soccer facility complex will require at least 54 parking spaces to be available at any given time to avoid negative parking and traffic impacts on the adjacent industrial businesses or on the adjacent residential use. 34 The staff report erroneously states that ”the required parking for a re
creational facility is one parking space for every employee present at the facility and one additional parking space for every class room” equaling only 13 required parking spaces. The fact is that, per Municipal Code per section 153.150.040, that mistakenly stated requirement is for an elementary or secondary school (private), a use which is not allowed in the Industrial zone.

Therefore, based on the proposed 21,143 square footage of the proposed soccer facility application, the required number of parking spaces is 152 spaces, as shown below
Table 153.150.040 Required Number of Parking Spaces

The applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces. As previously shown abo
ve, based on the information submitted as part of the applicant’s “Training Session” schedule, when the proposed soccer facility complex is used as only for training sessions, it will generate a need for at least 35 54 parking spaces to be available at any given time to avoid negative parkin
g and traffic impacts on the adjacent industrial businesses and on the adjacent residential use.

Previous facts point to the ability of the applicant/property owner to use the facility for other more intense use,(Exhibit B) as anticipated by the BP Municipal Code section 153.150.040. Since there are no Planning conditions of approval included in the attached PC 23-28 draft Resolution that would preclude the applicant/owner from using the facility for more intensive uses such as 5x5 game play, facility rental for birthday parties and special events or any other use, and there is no Business Operations Plan or Business Plan Narrative document that defines the proposed hours of operation, and there is no separate condition of approval that address the probable more intensive use of the property, there is no reason to believe that the applicant /property owner /business owner will limit the use of the subject commercial soccer facility complex to only training sessions, and will require the full compliment of required parking..

The project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code Parking requirement 153.150.040 therefore Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made.
 No ise restrictions: The proposed project is not in
compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section 153.140.070 (Noise)
The staff report states that that “In order to assess the Project’s noise compatibi
lity with the Project area, a noise survey and measurement were conducted at SOFIVE Soccer Center located at 699 S. Brarranca Avenue, in Covina….This location was selected as a representative noise source because of its urban location and its operational characteristics are similar to the Project. This facility includes ten soccer fields of 36 similar size as proposed by the project. The noise meter was placed near three
fields that were being used…..at approximately 10 feet
from the noise meter,… at approximately 30 feet from the noise meter and approximately 50 feet from the noise meter.” These activities are representative of the proposed conditions at the Project Site and also reflect comparable setback distances from the properties to the south of the Project Site.”
This is the third noise study submitted for this project. The first two noise studies took place at the commercial, ground level LabFive soccer fields in Pacoima and Gardena and clearly showed that the similar number of soccer fields proposed for Joanbridge Street would generate a level of noise that is unacceptable per the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code (Exhibit N Pacoima & Gardena Noise studies ) This is without factoring in the fact that the soccer fields on
Joanbridge Street are proposed to be elevated 12.5 feet above ground level which allows noise to travel further and without natural barriers.

In the third noise SOFIVE Covina study, performed at SOFIVE in Covina (see
Exhibit N for SOFIVE photos), the noise study once again shows that the elevated soccer fields proposed for Joanbridge Street would generate a level of noise that is unacceptable per the Baldwin Park General Plan and Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code. (Exhibit N) In th
e SOFIVE Covina noise survey, the noise meter was placed 10’, 30’ and 50’ away from the soccer fields. In the case of the project site, the noise will be generated a mere 10’ from the residential property line and elevated 12.5’ above the ground and therefore the noise that will be received on the residential properties abutting the proposed project will be even louder.

55 dbA decibels during the Day (7 am – 7 pm)
50 dbA decibels during the Evening (7pm – 10 pm)
45 dbA decibels during the Night (10 pm – 7 am).

It should be noted that The Baldwin Park Municipal Code Noise Stan
dards are measured in straight decibels, but with times designations allowing the noise generated to be compatible with the time of day. The SOFIVE Covina noise study for this project provided 39 the maximum (Lmax) and minimum (Lmin) noise generated levels, whi
ch are straight decibel measurements. The Leq noise levels shown in the SOFIVE Covina report is a weighted and averaged noise measurements.

The staff report states “It is noted that the noise meter was placed adjacent to the nearest field and only a chain link fence was between the me
ter and the noise sources. Thus, no substantive noise-attenuating barriers affected the referenced measurements.“ Unfortunately, this is not correct. As you can see from the photos of the SOFIVE Covina photos, Exhibit C - Other Soccer Facilities, the only chain link fencing on the SOFIVE Soccer, Covina site is around the perimeter of the entire facility. All the individual soccer fields themselves have 4’ – 6’ tall padded wood fences around the playing fields, which do act as noise-attenuating barriers. Therefore, the noise measurement presented in the SOFIVE Soccer Covina report already has the noise-attenuating barrier factored in, i.e. the noise generated by the existing soccer facility will be equivalent to the noise generated by the proposed soccer facility with the proposed 2” thick, vinyl removable padding.

The staff report states that “all off-site properties, including the residential uses to the south of the Project site by a 6-foot-highpadded, wou
ld be shielded from soccer activities by a padded wall proposed for the entire perimeter of the second level soccer fields.” Response: Through a discussion with the applicant architect on February 5, 2024, and through research (see exhibit R), Per the attached OS
HA regulatory status data, the “Rockwool” insulation is designed for insulation of industrial piping, roofs and walls. The listed adverse physiochemical hazards are listed as eye, skin and upper respiratory irritation. The attached data also shows that the suggested 40 “Rockwool” insulation is not currently being manufactured into vinyl pad
ding for sports venues.

Per pg. A-1.3 ‘Sections’, of the submitted elevation plans, the 12.5’ tall up
per level of the 25’ tall structure will be wrapped in open metal fencing. The bottom 6’ section of upper-level fences will be lined with removable, 6’ tall vinyl sports fence padding, attached to the open metal fencing with grommets, see Pg. M-1.1 Material Specifications. While any padding may somewhat deflect the noise generated by the proposed elevated soccer fields, the submitted noise measurement from SOFIVE Covina the noise measurement presented in the SOFIVE Soccer Covina report already has the noise-attenuating barrier factored in, i.e. the noise generated by the existing soccer facility will be equivalent to the noise generated by the proposed soccer facility with the proposed 2” thick, vinyl removable padding.

Therefore, the noise generated by the proposed soccer complex facility wil
l exceed the allowable noise levels to be received by a residential property in a residential zone located adjacent to an Industrial zone.

The project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.140.070 (Noise), therefore Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made..
 Li ght/Glare: The proposed proje ct is not in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section
153.1

40.040.F(Light /Glare)
The staff report states that: “the applicant has provided a photometric pl
an …that is compliant with the Baldwin Park Municipal Code light and glare standards”. Unfortunately, is not true. The applicant has provided a photometric plan which clearly shows the project as gen
erating a maximum light foot candle measurement of 52.7 – 52.2 fc/foot candle units of light, with the maximum foot candle measurement of .1 units of light spilling over to the adjacent properties on all sides. This is reflected in the photometric diagram and in the Statistics table, both found on pg.35 (Photometric study) of the staff rep
ort. According to the Statistics table, on PL1-3 south (the south property line where the Industrial zone subject property abuts the existing residential zone property) there is still a Maximum level of .1 fc of light spilling over the rear property line, even with the increased 10’ rear yard setback.
42 In addition, it should be noted that the 6’ tall fabric padding, proposed to l
ine the lower half of the soccer metal mesh fencing that surrounds the elevated soccer fields, will only cover the bottom half of the see- through metal fencing. The top 6.5” top half of the see-through metal fencing will be open and will not prevent any glare from the outdoor sports flood lighting the see-through.

Contrary to what is stated in the staff report, the draft Resolution PC 23-28 does not include any condition to require the project applicant to demonstrate that the proposed lighting conditions would not result in excessive spillage. It has already been clearly shown that the proposed project cannot meet the requirements of the BP General Plan or the BP Municipal Code.

The proposed project is not consistent with BP Municipal Zoning Code Sectio
n 153.140.040.F and General Plan Land Use Policy LU 2.5. The applicant’s photometric light survey clearly shows that the proposed elevated exterior soccer field sports lights will shine onto adjacent residential and Industrial properties and will have a negative impact on the adjacent residential properties.
43 The project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.140.040.F (Light/Glare) therefore Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made..
 Lo t Coverage: The p roposed project is not in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section
150.0

50.030F (Lot Coverage)
The staff report in this section states that the project is in compliance with the Lo
t Coverage development standard and doesn’t require a
zoning variance because what the staff report previously labeled a “parking structure on the first floor with soccer fields on the second floor” (pg2 staff report) is not really a structure at all. Therefore, the definition of Lot Coverage, i.e. “The percentage of the total lot area covered by enclo
sed structures and/or carports, but excluding
uncovered steps, driveways, walks, covered patios, terraces and swimming pools” doesn’t apply, because “the subject project does not propose any new enclosed structures on the first floor. This statement is incorrect.

Response: As previously discussed, The subject project is indeed prop
osing a structure on the first floor because, as described in the staff report project descriptions as quoted above, the first floor structure will be the “parking structure”. Further, the parking structure is constructed and operates as a “carport’ sheltering the customer’s cars. In addition, the definition of a structure in BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220 is: “Structure. Anything constructed or erected, which requires a fixed position on the ground or is attached to a building or other structure having a fixed location on the ground.” Clearly, the proposed 14,518 square foot concrete slab designed to ho
ld the proposed exterior soccer fields construction with supporting 44 concrete pillars and walls, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) is a structu
re.

Therefore, the project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code 150.050.030 (Lot Coverage) therefore Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made.
 Setb acks: The p roposed project is not in compliance with the City of Baldwin Park Municipal Code Section
153.0

50.030 (Setbacks)
The staff report states: “although BPMC section 153.050.030(A)(2) requires an increased rear yard setback where a commercially or in
dustrially zoned lot shares a property line with a residential zone and a proposed building exceeds one story, the open-air fields above the parking platform do no qualify as a building or structure because they have no roof and do not enclose space. Therefore, the requirement to double the rear yard setback for a two-story building does not apply.” 45 Response: Section 153.050.030 (A) (2): Wherever a commercially or industrially zoned lot shares a property line with an exclusively residential or a mixed-use zoned lot, any exterior new structure, or addition to an existing structure, that exceeds one story in height and that faces any rear or side lot line shall be set back twice the required setback.

The argument that the soccer fields are not a structure is not factual.

The definition of a structure in BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.220 is:
“S
tructure. Anything constructed or erected, which requires a fixed position on the ground or is attached to a building or other structure having a fixed location on the ground.”
Clearly, the 4 proposed exterior soccer fields and the required 12.5’ tall wire m
esh fence, to be erected around the perimeter of the 14,518 ft square foot parking structure which has a fixed location on the ground, as shown on pg. A-1.3 (sections) is an exterior new structure. On page 2 of th
e staff report the soccer field areas are described as “the second floor abo
ve the parking area” as the outdoor soccer fields and the architectural plans, pg. A1.2, identify the “upper floor” as including the outdoor soccer fields and as an exterior new structure.

The archi tectural plans, pg. A1.2, proposed 12.5’ tall, elevated soccer fie
lds, new outdoor sitting areas and new elevator are to be erected upon the first story of the parking structure. Therefore, the total 25’ height of the entire new soccer facility structure will include the 12.5’ first story parking structure and the 12.5’ second floor elevated soccer fields, new outdoor sitting areas and new elevator. Since the second floor construction will exceed the height of the single story parking structure, the entire new proposed soccer facility complex will exceed one story in height. Therefore, the proposed new soccer facility complex be required to meet the requirements of BP Municipal Zoning 46 Code Section 153.050.030 (A) (2) requiring the proposed new structure to have twice the required rear setback i.e. a twenty foot (20’) setback.

The project is not in compliance with the BP Municipal Zoning Code 153.050.030 (Setbacks) therefore Conditional Use Permit Finding of Fact 1 cannot be made.

The Finding of Fact that the proposed use is conditionally permitted within the subject zone and complies with the intent of all applicable provisions of this chapter cannot be met in that this Finding of Fact applies to compliance of the proposed soccer complex use with the entire City of
Baldwin Park Zoning Code Chapter 153, not just section
153.050.020 (Use Regulations). This means that there are re
quirements in the Zoning Code Chapter that this application for a soccer complex facility is required to meet. However, this particular application does not meet some of these requirements and it entirely ignores other requirements. These unaddressed requirements pertain to the Land Uses Standards and Developmental Standards, such as:

Parking requirements, Noise Restrictions, Light/glare restriction, Lot coverage restrictions and Setback Requirements. The proposed project does not comply with the Baldwin Park Municipal Code regarding Parking requirements, Noise Restrictions, Light/glare restriction, Lot coverage restrictions and Setback Requirements.

Finding of Fact 2 - Zone integrity and character: T he use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located.

The staff report states: “The use will not impair the integrity and characte
r of the zone in which it is to be located. The property is located within the Industrial Zone which allows for uses that provide a broad range of retail, office, and service-oriented commercial uses designed to meet the needs of both the local and residential and 47 business communities. Furthermore, the use will occupy an existing large
building to be retained as part of the operations that is currently vacant and will develop the adjacent parcel as parking on the first floor and soccer fields on the second. Therefore, an indoor/outdoor soccer training facility at the subject location compliments the integrity and character of the zone.

Response: Th e Finding of Fact has not been made that the use will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be lo
cated in that, per Municipal Code Section 153.050.010, there are five commercial
and industrial zones in Baldwin Park, established to meet the commerce and service needs of the resident and business communities while ensuring compatibility with adjacent land uses. The zones are designed to accommodate different types and intensities of comme
rcial and industrial development. The Industrial zone, in which the project is proposed to be located, in particular provides areas for the development of industries engaged in general assembly, manufacturing and processing, and support commercial uses. The Industrial zone is not compatible with the construction and operation of an indoor /outdoor soccer complex facility as proposed. The proposed use is not a general assembly, manufacturing or processing use. It also is not a “support commercial use” such as a FedEx Copy Store or Office Depot which would offer a commercial service. For example, customers of the adjacent Tombstone manufacturing and sales will not be dropping to use the “members only” soccer facilities complex. The soccer complex facility would not service the local Industrial businesses, but would be a destination point only for soccer players.

Also, the proposed soccer facility complex use will negatively impact the in
tegrity and character of the industrial zone through increased traffic and inadequate parking, noise, trash generated and light glare. 48 Joanbridge Street is designed to accommodate low amounts of in
dustrial business truck and car traffic and to provide minimal on-site parking for the existing industrial use only. There is no on-street parking allowed on Joanbridge Street and minimal parking is provided for each individual industrial business only. There are “no parking” and “employee only parking” signs posted at almost every business on Joanbridge Street. (Exhibit J) The proposed soccer complex would gen
erate a large influx of cars and people searching for on-site parking and since it is not provided on-site, the demand for on-street parking will overwhelm the very few on-street parking areas, eliminating available parking for the existing Industrial uses and their employees and customers.

The existing industrial businesses will also be subject to increased street trash l
eft by the patrons of the soccer complex (Exhibit C), as well as increased noise and increased traffic generated by the proposed soccer complex.

All of these negative impacts support the fact that that the use will imp
air the integrity and character of the zone in which it is to be located.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact 2: “The use will not impair the integrity and
character of the zone in which it is to be located” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 3 - Site Suitability: The subject site is p hysically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.

The staff report states: “The subject site is physically suitable for the type of l
and use being proposed. The on-site circulation plan has been reviewed and approved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department, confirming compliance with safety and accessibility standards. A qualified traffic engineer also analyzed site access and circulation in the 49 Categorical Exemption Report and concluded there would be no si
gnificant traffic impact. The project provides 39 on-site parking spaces - exceeding the minimum required by the Municipal Code – which further supports the site’s suitability for the proposed recreational use..

Response: Th e Finding of Fact cannot be made that the subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed.

The fact that the on-site circulation plan has been reviewed and app
roved by the Los Angeles County Fire Department confirming compliance with safety and accessibility standards does not make the site suitable for the development of a 21,299 square foot soccer facility complex on a 26,244 square foot lot. The project will consist of a 14,518 squ
are foot concrete slab, covering both the 14412 & the 14424 Joanbridge Street properties, in addition to incorporating the existing 6,625 sqft. footprint of the remaining existing building on 14412 Joanbridge Street. This equals a lot coverage of 81%. The City of Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code Section 150.050.030 has determined that 50% lot coverage is suitable for an Industrial site.

Therefore, the oversized soccer facility complex is not physically suitable for the proposed project site.

In addition, the site is too small for the proposed soccer complex to be desi
gned with adequate on-site circulation. The architect has been forced to use only one-way traffic circulation, which is confusing and dangerous. The site is so small that the applicant has resorted to locating the required Fire Department access route and parking area directly in the exit lane. This design will lead to confusion and blocked routes of exit for anyone on the site in the case of an emergency.

Also, the subject site is not physically suitable for the proposed soccer faci
lity complex land use because while the existing Industrial buildings 50 on the subject property were built with a 40- foot and a 50 foot rear yar
d setback to protect the adjacent residential homes from detrimental health and safety risks per Municipal Zoning Code section 153.050.030(A)(2) and Table 153.050.030, the proposed structure will only have a 10
-foot rear yard setback because the subject site is not large enough to build the outsized proposed soccer complex without it.

This zoning code deviation from the required 20-foot minimum illustrates why this proposal is not physically suitable for the subject property.

The proposal to construct the 25-foot-tall, 21,299 d=square foot elev
ated soccer complex facility with 4 outdoor soccer playing fields playing fields on the second floor, to within 10 feet of the homes of Baldwin Park residents, is too big and not physically suitable the site.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact 3: “ The subject site is physically suitable for the type of land use being proposed” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 4 - Existing Compatibility: The use is compatible with any land uses presently on the subject property.

The staff report states: “The use is compatible with any land uses prese
ntly on the subject property. The buildings on the subject site are currentl
y vacant. Neighboring uses include a headstone manufacturer, auto body shops, and an aircraft parts manufacturer, most of which operate during weekdays and typical business hours. The proposed recreational facility is anticipated to have peak use on evenings and weekends, minimizing any conflict and ensuring compatibility with these existing industrial operations.”
Response: The Finding of Fact has not been made that the project use, a 5-soccer field soccer facility complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor 51 soccer fields and one inside soccer field, is compatible with any land us
e presently on the subject property. Currently, one of the industrial buildings is being used as a soccer training school, without a City of Baldwin Park business license. The finding did not discuss this land use presently on the subject property. The finding discussed the adjacent property use. In addition, the applicant is proposing to re-use the remaining existing 2-story building in a manner which is incompatible with its originally designed industrial use.

However, regarding the staff report comments that the proposed recreational indoor/outdoor soccer facility complex provides a complimentary service to customers that are visiting the existing Industrial area; a soccer complex facility has nothing to offer the customers of the adjacent tombstone manufacturer /sales business on the west side and nothing in common with the adjacent and existing auto body repair and light manufacturing businesses on the east side.

The proposed soccer complex facility will only negatively affect the surrounding businesses with the increased traffic, noise, light/glare and trash generated by the proposed use.

The intensive use of the 5-soccer field soccer facility complex, as illustrated in the applicant’s submitted “Training Session” schedule, estimates at least 82 people attending the soccer facility complex during 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm, every weekday. This is without even considering how many other customers will be in the gym or meeting rooms. This would generate at least an estimated 84 visitors to the site, all competing for the minimal 39 parking spaces the applicant is proposing to provide. The BP Municipal Zoning Code requires 152 parking spaces.
52 Therefore, the Finding of Fact (4): “The use is compatible with any land us
es presently on the subject property” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 5 - Future Compatibility: The use will be compatible with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in
which the proposed use is to be located.

The staff report states: “The use will be compatible with existing and fu
ture land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. The use of the property as a recreational facility is compatible with existing and future land uses within the Industrial zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located. Because the recreational use primarily occurs during non- business hours, it will not generate noise or traffic incompatible with existing or future industrial operations. Future uses with potential impacts typically require approval of a Conditional Use Permit and therefore would be before the Planning Commission for consideration of the cumulative impacts for the area.”
Response; the Finding of Fact has not been made that the use will be compati
ble with existing and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located.

The proposed soccer complex facility use is not compatible with the existi
ng industrial uses in the Industrial zone because of the increased negative noise and parking impacts as previously discussed under Findings of Fact 1.

More importantly, the proposed Commercial Recreation soccer compl
ex is not compatible currently with the existing and future land uses in the general area because the general area encompasses existing adjacent residential homes.
53 The negative impacts of the noise, light/ glare, trash and traffic/parking prob
lems associated with the proposed soccer facility complex will be even more detrimental to the adjacent residential homes. Furthermore, the proposed commer
cial, members-only, soccer complex facility will
never be considered compatible with the residential zone general area, even in the future, based on the fact that a Commercial Recreational Facility soccer complex facility is not allowed in a residential zone without a Conditional Use Permit, per the City of Baldwin Park General Plan and Municipal Zoning Code TABLE 153.040.020, Allowable Resid
ential Uses
Therefore, the Finding of Fact (5): “The use will be compatible with existi
ng and future land uses within the zone and the general area in which the proposed use is to be located has not been made and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 6 - Utilities and Services. Adequate provisions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that th
e use will not be detrimental to public health and safety.

The staff report states: “Adequate provisions for water, sewer and pu
blic utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety. The existing industrial building provides all utilities and services connected and therefore the proposed recreational facility will not be detrimental to public health and safety.”
Response: The Finding of Fact has not been made that adequate provi
sions for water, sewer and public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety.
54 The subject property of the proposed soccer complex is bisected by mul
tiple large power lines with transformers as well as other utility lines. These utility structures are located directly where the applicant is proposing to construct the elevated concrete structure as a foundation for the four (4) outdoor, raised soccer complex facility fields.

There are is no discussion in the staff report that the applicant has su
bmitted any plans to the appropriate Utilities or the Baldwin Park Engineering Department regarding the feasible relocation and undergrounding as per Baldwin Park Municipal Code
153.140.050 (B) Underground utilities. “T o protect public safety and improve the appearance of the community, all new development shall be required to install all electrical distribution lines of 16 kilovolts or less, telephone, cable television and similar wires that provide customer services underground.” There are no specific Conditions of Approval
included within Conditional Use Permit Resolution which have been submitted regarding the relocation or required undergrounding of theses existing utilities.

In addition, the public services of the Police Department, Fire Departme
nt and the Code Enforcement Department will be negatively impacted by the operation of the proposed soccer complex facility.

Increased service calls to the Police and Fire and Code Enforcement Departments from the proposed soccer complex would increase the response time of these necessary health and safety services.

There are no specific Conditions of Approval submitted by the Police Departme
nt included within the draft Conditional Use Permit
Resolution because they have not had the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed soccer complex facility. Therefore, these entities have not been able to submit conditions of approval to ensure 55 that the proposed soccer complex will not be detrimental to public health
and safety.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact 6: “Adequate provisions for water, sewer and
public utilities and services are available to ensure that the use will not be detrimental to public health and safety” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 7 - Public access. Adequate provisions for public access
are available to serve the use.

The staff report states: “Adequate provisions for public access are avail
able to serve the use. The site has direct vehicular and pedestrian access to Joanbridge Street, which is a local road, but is also proximate to Main Avenue which is designated as an collector street in the City’s General Plan. Additionally, the rolled curb in the public right-of-way provide both pedestrians and persons with disabilities with convenient access to the site and provide access for motor vehicles. The site’s access to streets and highways are adequate in width and pavement type to carry the quantity of traffic generated by the proposes recreational facility.”
Response: The Finding of Fact has not been made that the project would provide adequate public access for the proposed 5 soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields and one inside soccer field.

The proposed soccer complex facility does not meet the requirements of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.150.010 which is to “ensure that all land uses in the city provide adequate off-street parking facilities, loading areas and vehicle movement areas; that the use of land does not adversely interfere with the circulation on public rights- of-way; that private on-site circulation does not pose potential safety 56 issues; and that surrounding uses are insulated from noise and traffic impacts associated with off-street parking and loading activities.” The applicant is proposing to use a single ingress drive aisle and a single exit d
rive aisle, with only one-way traffic circulation, which is confusing and dangerous. The proposed public access ingress and egress are inadequate and dangerously designed, due to the small size of the subject property and due to the fact that the project is proposing to reducing the required twenty-foot (20’) rear yard setback to a ten-foot rear yard setback and the project is proposing to cover 84% of the industrial instead of being below the required 50% lot coverage. This will lead to the over-development of the existing Industrial parcel by the proposed soccer complex facility.

In addition, again due to the small lot size and proposed over- deve
lopment, the applicant is proposing to place the required Fire Department parking lane and access route directly within the exit lane.

This would lead to great confusion and blocked routes of exit for anyone on the site in the case of an emergency.

The application for the proposed 5 soccer field soccer complex project, with 4 elevated outdoor soccer fields and one inside soccer field has not been submitted to the Engineering Department for their review or approval.

The amount of proposed parking spaces does not meet the Baldwin Park Municipal Zoning Code requirements for a Commercial Recreational Use per Table 153.150.040 Required Number of Parking Spaces. The applicant is proposing to provide 39 parking spaces for the proposed new soccer complex, however 152 parking spaces are re
quired per code.
57 Considering the low amount of on-site parking proposed by the app
licant, all soccer complex facility customers seeking parking spaces at the proposed new soccer complex would spill onto Joanbridge St. and the adjacent residential streets of Maine Avenue and California Avenue seeking non-existent street parking, causing traffic blockage on Maine Avenue, on Joanbridge St. and California Avenue, and reducing public access to the residences and reducing public access to the businesses on Maine Avenue.

The additional high traffic volume generated by the proposed soccer compl
ex use would also clog and aggravate the already difficult turn lanes onto Joanbridge St. and California Avenue from Maine Avenue, and the right / left turn lanes from Joanbridge Street, California Avenue and even Baldwin Avenue, onto Maine Avenue.

The residential areas on Maine Avenue, California Avenue and Baldwin Av
enue would be especially negatively impacted. The fact that California Avenue and Baldwin Avenue are dead-end streets would only add to the traffic congestion and confusion as soccer players and spectators and family all try to find off-site parking.

In addition, in their Training Sessions document, the applicant is prop
osing to operate (3) 2-hour classes per day, seven (7) days a week, on each of the 5 soccer fields, accommodating an estimated 74 soccer players and 8 staff members per day. Also, the soccer fields are designed for 5x5 soccer play for a maximum of 10 students/team members on each field with an instructor/referee. That would be an additional 55 people per field when pre-booked When you add on- lookers, family members and those waiting for their time on the field to this amount of possible attendees to the proposed soccer facility complex you could get much more than the amount of people at the facility than calculated by the applicant, all trying to park in the 58 proposed 39 parking spaces. This huge amount of cars/soccer players see
king parking is confusing and dangerous to anyone who would want to park at the soccer complex facility and would reduce public access to the businesses on Joanbridge Street.

The traffic generated by a similar type of soccer complex facility in Co
vina is the SOFIVE commercial soccer complex located at 699 S.

Barranca Avenue, Covina (www.sofivecovina.com) is a clear example of the negative effects a soccer complex will have on existing businesses and
residential areas. Existing businesses and residential next to the SOFIVE commercial soccer complex facility in Covina have resorted to blocking their residential streets and blocking their commercial business parking lot entrances with “no SOFIVE soccer parking” in order to preserve their own residential and commercial parking spaces.

Complaints to the Covina Police and Code enforcement have increased at this Covina location.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact (7): “Adequate provisions for public acce
ss are available to serve the use” has not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 8 - General Plan Consistency. The use is consistent with the General Plan.

The staff report states: “The use is consistent with the General Plan.

Lan
d Use Goal1.0 Balanced Development in Baldwin Park. Maintain a balanced mix and distribution of land uses throughout Baldwin Park.

Land Use Policy 1.4 Create opportunities for two different levels of commercial development: (1) commercial uses that meet the retail and service needs of the local residents and employee populations, and (2) 59 regional-serving retail commercial businesses that capture revenues from a b
roader population base.”
Response: The staff report states that the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. so
ccer facility complex is consistent with Land Use Goal 1.0 for balanced development. Negatively impacting the existing residential development by inserting a new, non-compatible recreation use adjacent to that existing residential development is not balanced. It only benefits the property owner by increasing the value of his property at the expense of the existing residential property owner. A licensed, experienced and independent land assessor has testified that the approval of the proposed soccer facility complex, abutting the existing homes will devalue the residential properties by approximately 10%.

Discussions with the LA County Assessor’s Office also support this claim.(Exhibit H) Therefore, the proposed project is not consistent with Land Use Goal 1.0 for balanced development
The staff report states that the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. soccer facili
ty complex is consistent with Land Use Policy 1.4 to create local and regional retail and service uses. Unfortunately, the proposed soccer facility complex will not create local and regional retail and service uses. The project site is currently being operated as a non- profit business soccer training school which does not generate any retail revenue and there has been no indication that the business model will change.

In contrast, the proposed 25’ tall, 21,299 sqft. soccer facility complex is not consi
stent with the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Goal and Policies as follows:

Land Use Goal 2.0 – Compatible Development Standards. The proposed si
ze of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing 60 residential properties, is not compatible with existing adjacent single- story,
single-family residential development directly abutting the project site nor is it compatible with the mostly single-story industrial development
Land Use Policy 2.5 – Land Use Intensity/Density. The proposed size of the
new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties will cause negative impacts on the adjacent residential and industrial properties regarding noise, inadequate parking, light and glare, privacy, differences in scale and visual incompatibility, as detailed above.

Land Use Policy 2.6 – Lighting on Commercial/Industrial Properties. The prop
osed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, located within 10’ of existing residential properties will cause negative impacts on the adjacent residential properties due to the use of the outdoor soccer sports flood lights for the elevated outdoor soccer fields. The submitted lighting plan (Exhibit E) clearly shows the new soccer fields will generate the prohibited light spillover.

Land Use Policy 7.4 – Adequate Parking. The design and proposed size of the new 21,299 square foot soccer facility and the location of the 25’ tall, elevated outdoor soccer fields, covering 22,067 square feet of the 26,244 sqft. lot (84% lot coverage) will not leave enough room for the required number of on-site parking spaces and will not provide adequate on-site parking for customers. Inadequate parking will cause patrons of the new soccer facility to park on private property on Joanbridge St., where street parking is prohibited, and to spill over into the adjacent residential neighborhood streets, where street parking is already severely limited.
61 Land Use Noise Element NE12 - Based on the applicants submitted Noise Stu
dies (Exhibit D) the proposed project will produce noise levels above the allowed decibels allowed in residential properties.

Therefore, the Finding of Fact 8: “The use is consistent with the General Plan
have not been and cannot be made.

Finding of Fact 9 – Safety and Welfare. The use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

The staff report states: “The use will not be detrimental to the public inte
rest, health, safety convenience or welfare in that the recreational facility (indoor/outdoor soccer field) will be developed in accordance with all the development standards of the zone and will operate in substantial conformance to all conditions of approval as identified in the resolution of approval. The active recreational use promotes healthy lifestyles for the City’s youth, which is support of their general welfare.”
Response: The Finding of Fact cannot be made that the use will not be detrime
ntal to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

The proposed soccer facility as presented will not to meet all of the development standards of the zone nor will it meet all of the op
erational standards of the zone, as shown in the table below.  Th e Development Standard for the rear yard setback is a 20-foot setback; the applicant wants to build a 10-foot setback.  Th e Development Standard is for a 50% maximum lot coverage; the applicant wants to cover 84% of the lot with the proposed development.
 Th e amount of parking required by the Development Standards is 152 parking spaces; the applicant is proposing 39 parking spaces. 62  Th ere is no on-street parking available on Joanbridge Street. Any area between the rolled curb on Joanbridge Street and the existing industrial buildings belong to the individual properties and are not available for public parking.

The proposed soccer facility as presented will not to meet all of the Operational Development Standards of the zone:
 Th e Operational Standard for allowed any Noise in a residential zone is that it must be measured in dBA at the property line of the receptor property and wh ere a boundary or wall exists, the measurement shall be made on the receptor property. In this case, the receptor properties are those residential properties located directly south of the proposed project site’s rear property line. The allowed decibel amount for a residential zone is 55 dBA day and
50 dBA evening; the proposed soccer complex project
would produce 91.8 dBA day and 78.3 dBA evening.
 Th e proposed soccer complex facility does not meet the requirements of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code 153.150.010 which are to provide adequate off-street parking facilities, loading areas and vehicle movement areas; that the use of land does not adversely interfere with the circulation on public rights-of-way.

In addition, the staff report states in the finding of facts above, the re
creational facility (indoor /outdoor soccer field) will operate in substantial conformance to all conditions of approval as identified in the resolution of approval. However, regarding the Conditions of Approval, Conditions of Approval PC 23-28 is woefully incomplete.

There are multiple instances illustrated the previous report sections, where the staff report has said that a specific condition of approval is in the conditions of approval, but the condition was left out.

Further, if the proposal will “operate in substantial conformance to all conditi
ons of approval as identified in the resolution of approval”, as stated in the staff report above, then because of the ambiguous and minimal number of Conditions of Approval in Resolution PC 23-28 the finding cannot be made that the use will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience or welfare.

This neighborhood is not the right place for this complex. We are sun-ounded by the one-lane street of Maine Ave, which is not set up to handle the traffic influx that this place will bring.
