FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact, regardless of which of the recommended actions the City Council chooses to take.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

On January 22, 2024, William Molinari (the “Applicant”) submitted an application to the City seeking approval for the construction of 15 residential dwelling units and the subdivision of one lot into 16 lots at 301 Jacmar Drive (the “Project”). On June 4, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing and subsequently continued the item to June 18, 2024, to allow more time for project review.

The Planning Commission held a continued public hearing on June 18, 2024, to further consider the Project, at which time the item was continued again to July 16, 2024. At the continued public hearing on July 16, 2024, the Planning Commission voted to deny the Site Plan Review and Zone variance requests and recommend denial of the Tentative Tract Map to the City Council.

On July 24, 2024, the Applicant filed an appeal of the Planning Commission’s denial of PC-2024-002-SPR/ZV/TTM pursuant to Montebello Municipal Code (“MMC”) Section

17.78.070. The appeal seeks City Council review and consideration to overturn the Planning Commission’s decision.

On August 1, 2024, a Notice of Public Hearing for the City Council’s consideration of the appeal on August 14, 2024, was published in the Montebello News. Additionally, on the same date, the Notice of Public Hearing was mailed to all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed Project Site.

On August 14, 2024, the Applicant requested a continuance of the matter. The City Council proceeded with a public hearing to receive public comments, followed by deliberation, resulting in a decision to continue the appeal to a future date pursuant to the Applicant’s request, with the expectation that the Applicant will conduct targeted community outreach.

On March 13, 2025, a Notice of Public Hearing (see Attachment E) for the City Council’s continued public hearing on March 26, 2025, was mailed to interested parties and all property owners within 300 feet of the proposed Project Site. On the same date, the Notice of Public Hearing was published in the Montebello News.

ENVIRONMENTAL:

In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the proposed Site Plan Review, Case No. PC-2024-0002-SPR/ZV/TTM ENV 02-24-CE, is considered a “project,” per the (CEQA) definition of a “project.” The Project is considered a Class 32 and Categorically Exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects), and none of the limitations set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

Page 10 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 3 of 11 ends

In order to qualify under an exemption pursuant to Class 32 of CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In Fill Development Projects), the following environmental findings must also be made:

A. The Project is consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as well as with applicable zoning designation and regulations.

The proposed Project conforms to the Montebello General Plan, Land Use Element in that the General Plan Land Use designation for the site for the R-1 (Single - Family Residential) zoning designation.

B. The proposed development occurs within the City limits on a project site of no more than five (5) acres substantially surrounded by urban uses.

The proposed development shall occur on a 60,101 square-foot (1.38 acres) lot located on Jacmar Drive within City limits and thus, is less than the maximum five acres specified in Section 15332(b) for this exemption. The site is surrounded by existing developed industrial properties.

C. The Project has no value as habitat for endangered, rare, or threatened species.

The proposed Project is currently developed with an existing single family home. The subject property is surrounded by additional housing developments and is consistent with the land use designation.

D. Approval of the Project would not result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality.

The proposed Project shall not have any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality as the site is currently developed with an existing residential unit.

E. The site can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

The Project has been reviewed by City staff and it has been determined that it can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.

ANALYSIS:

The Applicant seeks to demolish the existing single-family residence at 301 Jacmar Drive and construct 15 residential dwelling units and related amenities, as detailed in Attachment C. The subject site is approximately 60,101 square feet (1.38 acres) within the R-1 (Single-Family residential zone). The site currently contains a one-story, singlefamily residence with a swimming pool, landscaping, and mature trees. It is generally west of South Bluff Road and north of Washington Boulevard. The site is bordered on all sides - north, east, south, and west - by residential properties zoned R-1 (Single Family Residential) and R-3 (Multi-Family Residential).

The Applicant sought approval from the Planning Commission for Site Plan Review and related variances to accommodate the construction of 15 single-family residential dwelling units, including the subdivision of the existing improved site, which has a total lot area of approximately 60,101 square feet (1.38 acres). Additionally, the Applicant sought a recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding TTM No. 084478.

Page 11 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 4 of 11 ends

The Site Plan Review is required for all residential projects resulting in three or more dwelling units. As the proposed subdivision will result in 15 dwelling units, Site Plan approval is necessary. The units will have between 3 to 4 bedrooms and either 2.5 or 3.5 bathrooms. Each unit will be two stories and will include a living room, kitchen, dining room, and a two car garage.

A Zone Variance is required when deviating from the Montebello Municipal Code. The standard lot size requirement for single family lots is 5,000 square feet per unit, while the proposed residential units would range from 2,420 to 3,428 square feet. Additionally, the Applicant seeks a deviation from the lot coverage standards. The maximum allowed lot coverage in the R-1 Zone is 40%; however, the proposed lot coverage ranges from

41.68% to 47.82%.

Setback requirements for the R-1 Zone include 20 feet in front, five (5) feet on each side and 10 feet in the rear. The Applicant will comply with the side and rear setback requirements but is requesting a reduction in the front setback, ranging between 4.5 to

6.5 feet.

A Tentative Tract Map application is required for any subdivision that results in five or more parcels.

GENERAL PLAN
The Project conforms to the following goals and policies of the Montebello General Plan.

General Plan Goal to Encourage urban infill and compact development A2.7a states a goal “Promote infill development on vacant and underutilized sites….” General Plan Goal for development that will create diverse and walkable neighborhoods A3.4b states a goal “Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable and bicycle friendly road designs with slow vehicular design speeds.” General Plan Goal to retrofit suburban development P3.6 states the goal to “Integrate more housing choices in existing subdivisions”.

The proposed Project conforms to the City of Montebello General Plan Land Use Element as the proposed use will allow the Montebello community to benefit from the addition of the 15 new Single-Family residential homes, providing future Montebello residents with more housing choices in existing residential neighborhoods. The current Project site has one home on the lot and the lot size can be utilized for more homes, growing the community. With this increase in housing, it is supporting the General Plan goals by responding to the needs of the community and by reflecting the density standards that are outlined in the housing element of the General Plan.

REQUIRED FINDINGS MONTEBELLO MUNICIPAL CODE
SITE PLAN REVIEW (MMC Chapter 17.74 et seq.)

Page 12 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 5 of 11 ends

The purpose of the Site Plan Review is to minimize or preclude potential adverse impacts to the public interest or on abutting properties and adjacent residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhoods, resulting from the design or layout of a proposed development.

Section 17.74.030 explains that a Site Plan Review is required for all residential projects resulting in the construction of three or more units.

Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any Site Plan Review shall be granted, all the following findings must be made:

1. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the Montebello Municipal Code;
The 15 proposed units will all have a two-car garage, and heights will not exceed 25 feet, access to all units will be via a driveway, the units will have open space and the setbacks will be landscaped. The Applicant is requesting a zone variance from the R-1 standards regarding the minimum required setbacks, lot sizes and the lot coverage percentage per unit. A Site Plan is required due to the Project resulting in three or more units according to Section 17.74.030.

2.That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan; and The proposed Project site is consistent with the general plan and reflects the goals that were set in place when designating certain zoning areas with different housing types. The Project site has the capacity for more development and the density is appropriate to the neighborhood and surrounding uses. Similar projects have also been approved in the close vicinity. The current plans are for 15 units with full roads, fire department turn around, and a small park for the residents to enjoy. The zone variance will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

3. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

The proposed addition will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties as the surrounding area is currently developed with an existing single-family unit. The zone variances and subsequent development would not be harmful to the general welfare of the neighborhood, City or create problems for the public health or safety. It would increase the welfare by first supporting investments, bringing in construction and related jobs, and providing housing to the community. The current use is R-1 single family residential, and the proposed residential zoning will not change. All the immediate surrounding land uses are consistent with residential housing. The addition of this Project will be consistent with the surrounding land uses and will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.

The sole purpose of the variance is to ensure that no property, because of special circumstance applicable to it, shall be deprived of privileges commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. No variance shall be granted by other properties in the same vicinity and zone.

A Zone Variance is being requested to deviate from the development standards within an R-1 Zone. The Applicant is requesting to deviate from the standards for lot size, setback, and lot coverage. According to the MMC section 17.10.020 development standards for new development, new development of a single-family residential unit, the lot size must be 5,000 square feet. The front setback must be 20 feet, the rear 10 feet, and sides 5 feet and the lot coverage standard is also 40 percent. The Applicant is seeking to deviate from all three of the stated requirements.

A. Describe the special major unusual circumstance applicable to the subject property, which do not generally apply to other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

1. The lot sizes: This single-family residential lot is special to the neighborhood as there is no other lot in the surrounding area that is the same size, making it difficult to design the homes on such a unique sized lot to optimize the area for each unit, resulting in reduced lot sizes.

2. Lot coverage: As a result of the lot sizes being smaller than usual, which is not typical, the Applicant requests to use as much space as possible causing the lot coverage to be more than usual.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 7 of 11 ends

3. Front setbacks: With the reduced sizes and the lot coverage being above what is typically allowed; this unusual case has put the Applicant in the position to design the houses in a way that would best benefit the future homeowner. Although the design of the house can allow the Applicant to have a larger front yard, the Applicant has decided to use the space to allow for a larger private backyard for each of the residents and apply for the zone variance.

B. Detail how, due to the special or unusual circumstances described above, strict application of the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships or would deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

1. The lot sizes: If the lot sizes were up to standard, there essentially would not be enough room on the lot to accommodate as many homes as the Applicant is requesting. The Applicant is trying to utilize the lot and has retained inspiration from surrounding developments that have similar lot sizes. Without the minimized lot sizes, the Project would not be possible.

2. Lot coverage: If the Applicant would design the houses using the MMC requirements, the houses would be extremely small and not suitable for a growing family, which the Applicant hopes to house.

3. Front Setbacks: If the Applicant were to abide by the front yard setbacks, the future homeowners would have a large front yard and an extremely small backyard. The Applicant decided to utilize the space and provide a larger backyard to optimize the space in the best way.

C. Pursuant to MMC Section 17.72.060.C., explain how the proposed variance is necessary for the preservation of the substantial property right to allow a reasonable use of the subject property, which is possessed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

To properly utilize the future lots, the Applicant is requesting to apply these zone variances to properly utilize the area on the lot and to design each lot to properly maintain the most use out of the Project site that is being redeveloped.

1. Lot sizes: The lot sizes being smaller than required allows for more units which gives the Applicant a mechanism to provide more housing options to Montebello residents.

Page 15 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 8 of 11 ends

2. Lot Coverage: Being able to build more on each lot provides the units with a bigger house for bigger rooms, kitchen and bathroom areas providing a more comfortable, more attractive home to any future residents.

3. Front setback: Having a smaller front setback allows the residents to enjoy more space in the backyard of the units which is necessary with many of the new housing developments having such a small backyard. Although the Applicant will take away from the front setback, every unit will also have an attached garage for two cars.

D. Describe how the proposed Zone Variance will not cause an adverse effect on the public welfare or surrounding properties.

1. Lot sizes: The variance of lot sizes will not affect the surrounding users as there currently are units in the surrounding area that are similar sizes and have no effect on the surrounding properties.

2. Lot coverage: Although the lots will be above the allowed lot coverage, and the lots will be fully built out, every unit will be of a similar design, the consistency will ensure no unit will stand out from the others.

3. Front setback: Although the lots will have a very small front yard, the units will still each have a two-car garage for the residents. This will help with any concerns regarding the limited driveway that will result from the front setback variance.

E. Describe how the granting of the Zone Variance will be consistent with the general plan and intent of the Zoning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan.

The proposed Project provides single-family homes in a neighborhood that also has single-family units keeping the use consistent with the current zoning and type of development with similar square footage. The proposed Project has been properly notified and will be consistent with the general plan as the Project site has been designated for residential units.

as described in California Government Code Section 65451.

The proposed Project that would be allowed through this subdivision would result in over 23,000 square feet of open space and medium cost for 15 families. The zone is consistent with the general plan and provides additional housing in the R1-Zone that is designated for single family housing developments making the Project consistent with the general plan.

2. Describe how the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable general and specific plans;
The general plan seeks to balance open space with developed space, and to group uses in neighborhoods for mutual enjoyment of the occupants and the residents. The Project provides open space and a private park as well as houses for sale. The development will allow the future resident to enjoy quality housing in a safe and secure environment. The development will also allow for modest growth in the City that will benefit business and the school system.

3. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the type of development.

The existing property has been developed as a single-family home since 1938. The house is aging and is in disrepair. Since its original construction, the community has grown around the house, and many of the surrounding developments now have a much greater density. The combination of the property’s size as well as the denser development around it makes it suitable for this type of housing. The Project will have 16 parcels, with 15 single-family homes on each separate parcel with a parcel for streets, utilities and a private park which will be owned by all the homes and managed by a homeowners association that will be set upon completion of construction.

4. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development;
The site is suitable for the proposed density as many of the developments in the surrounding neighborhood also have similar densities and the square footage of the lot can be designed to provide 15 homes. The now underutilized lot will provide housing to Montebello residents.

5. Describe how the design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife and their habitat;
The existing house has been built since 1938 as a single-family home, there is no wildlife on the property that can be impacted.

than 113 trips per day including 7 trips during the AM peak hour and 8 during the PM peak hours. The modern construction techniques employed for the Project lessen the likelihood of termites and other insects that have the potential of appearing because of the Project.

7. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large, for access through, or use of, property within the proposed subdivision; and
The height of the Project will not exceed 25 feet in elevation; thus, it will not conflict with any neighbor’s rights with respect to blocking views. The utility easement on the west side of the property for electrical and communication cabling will be maintained. The utility engineering for the Project will likely create or renew utility access for the Project location itself as well as for the neighborhood.

8. Describe how the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system would not add to or result in violation of existing water quality control standards.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District will ensure that the construction of these units will not be of great impact on the sewer systems.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO HEREBY RESOLVES, FINDS, AND DECLARES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. RECITALS. The City Council finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings in this Resolution.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS. Based on the entire record, with independent consideration of the application and all associated materials, the reports provided by staff, public testimony, and information provided in the record of the Planning Commission related to this Project, the City Council hereby rejects the following findings:

A. GENERAL PLAN
The Project conforms to the following goals and policies of the Montebello General Plan.

General Plan Goal to Encourage urban infill and compact development A2.7a states a goal “Promote infill development on vacant and underutilized sites….”
General Plan Goal for development that will create diverse and walkable neighborhoods A3.4b states a goal “Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable and bicycle friendly road designs with slow vehicular design speeds.”
General Plan Goal to retrofit suburban development P3.6 states the goal to “Integrate more housing choices in existing subdivisions”.

B. SITE PLAN REVIEW
Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any Site Plan Review shall be granted, all the following findings must be made:

1. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the Montebello Municipal Code;

Page 21 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-61

Page 3 of 8 ends

The 15 proposed units will all have a two-car garage, and heights will not exceed 25 feet, access to all units will be via a driveway, the units will have open space and the setbacks will be landscaped. The Applicant is requesting a zone variance from the R-1 standards regarding the minimum required setbacks, lot sizes and the lot coverage percentage per unit. A Site Plan is required due to the Project resulting in three or more units according to Section 17.74.030.

2. That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan; and
The proposed Project site is consistent with the general plan and reflects the goals that were set in place when designating certain zoning areas with different housing types. The Project site has the capacity for more development and the density is appropriate to the neighborhood and surrounding uses. Similar projects have also been approved in the close vicinity. The current plans are for 15 units with full roads, fire department turn around, and a small park for the residents to enjoy. The zone variance will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

3. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

C. VARIANCES
Pursuant to section 17.72.060 of the MMC, before any variance shall be granted, the Applicant has demonstrated the following facts:

1. Describe the special major unusual circumstance applicable to the subject property, which do not generally apply to other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

Page 22 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-61

Page 4 of 8 ends

of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications by not being able to fully utilize the Project site. a. The lot sizes: This single-family residential lot is special to the neighborhood as there is no other lot in the surrounding area that is the same size, making it difficult to design the homes on such a unique sized lot to optimize the area for each unit, resulting in reduced lot sizes.
b. Lot coverage: As a result of the lot sizes being smaller than usual, which is not typical, the Applicant requests to use as much space as possible causing the lot coverage to be more than usual.
c. Front setbacks: With the reduced sizes and the lot coverage being above than typically allowed, this unusual case has put the Applicant in the position to design the houses in a way that would best benefit the future homeowner.

Although the design of the house can allow the Applicant to have a larger front yard, the Applicant has decided to use the space to allow for a larger private backyard for each of the residents and apply for the zone variance.

2. Detail how due to the special or unusual circumstance as described above, strict application of the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships, or would deprive the property privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

The existing property is in some disrepair, and it is the goal of the Applicant to revitalize the lot which would result in the demolition of the existing house and replacing it with modern housing. The house is currently 85 years old and no longer the best use for a lot that size for the city for housing density. The zoning code does not allow the Applicant to best utilize the lot with its unique size the Applicant is requesting to optimize their lot, allowing the future homeowners to use as much of their lot as possible.
a. The lot sizes: If the lot sizes were up to standard, there essentially would not be enough room on the lot to accommodate as many homes as the Applicant is requesting. The Applicant is trying to utilize the lot and has retained inspiration from surrounding developments that have similar lot sizes. Without the minimized lot sizes, the Project would not be possible. b. Lot coverage: If the Applicant would design the houses using the Montebello Municipal code requirements, the houses would be extremely small and not suitable for a growing family, which the Applicant hopes to house. c. Front Setbacks: If the Applicant were to abide by the front yard setbacks, the future homeowners would have a large front yard and an extremely small backyard. The Applicant decided to utilize the space and provide a larger backyard to optimize the space in the best way.

3. Explain how the Zoning Variance is necessary for the preservation of the substantial property right to allow a reasonable use of the subject property, which is possessed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

Page 23 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-61

Page 5 of 8 ends

To properly utilize the future lots the Applicant is requesting to apply these zone variances to properly utilize the area on the lot and to design each lot to properly maintain the most use out of the Project site that is being redeveloped. a. Lot sizes: The lot sizes being smaller than required allows for more units which gives the Applicant a mechanism to provide more housing options to Montebello residents.
b. Lot Coverage: Being able to build more on each lot provides the units with a bigger house for bigger rooms, kitchen and bathroom areas providing a more comfortable to provide a more attractive home to any future residents. c. Front setback: Having a smaller front setback allows the residents to enjoy more space in the backyard of the units which is necessary with many of the new housing developments having such a small backyard. Although the Applicant will take away from the front setback, every unit will also have an attached garage for two cars.

4. Describe how the proposed Zone Variance will not cause an adverse effect on the public welfare or surrounding properties.

Based on the testimony provided by the public at the Planning Commission hearing and hearing conducted by the City Council, the City Council finds that the proposed design will have a significant effect on the public welfare as the size of the proposed lots are not consistent with the surround area and zoning. a. Lot sizes: The variance of lot sizes will affect the surrounding users as there currently are no units in the surrounding area that are similar sizes. b. Lot coverage: The lots will be above the allowed lot coverage, and the lots will be fully built out, every unit will be of a similar design, this will result in the houses standing out compared to other lots in the surrounding area. c. Front setback: The lots will have a very small front yard; the units will still each have a two-car garage for the residents. But the driveway will be limited.

5. Describe how the granting of the Zone Variance will be consistent with the general plan and intent of the Zoning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan.

The proposed Project provides single family homes in a neighborhood that also has single family units keeping the use consistent with the current zoning and type of development with similar square footage. The proposed Project has been properly notified and will be consistent with the general plan as the Project site has been designated for residential units.

D. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP

1. Describe how the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Specific plans as described in California Government Code Section 65451.

The proposed Project that would be allowed through this subdivision would result in over 23,000 square feet of open space and medium cost for 15 families.

The zone is consistent with the general plan and provides additional housing in the R1-Zone that is designated for single family housing developments making the Project consistent with the general plan.

The existing property has been developed as a single-family home since 1938. The house is aging and is in disrepair. Since its original construction, the community has grown around the house, and many of the developments around it now have much greater density. Based on testimony from the surrounding neighbors and how dense the rest of the neighborhood is, the Planning Commission hearing and hearing conducted in the City Council, finds that the proposed number of units is too large for the lot size as this number of units is resulting in many zone variance requests.

5. Describe how the design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife and their habitat; The existing house has been built since 1938 as a single-family home, there is no wildlife on the property that can be impacted.

6. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause serious public health problems; According to a study conducted by the Applicant, the Project is estimated to produce less than 113 trips per day including 7 trips during the AM peak hour and 8 during the PM peak hours. The modern construction techniques will be employed for the Project will lessen the likelihood of termites and other insects that have the potential of appearing because of the Project.

7.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District will ensure that the construction of these units will not be of great impact to the sewer systems.

E. ENVIRONMENTAL
In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the proposed Site Plan Review, Case No. PC-2024-0002-SPR/ZV/TTM ENV 02-24- CE, is considered a “project,” per the (CEQA) definition of a “project.” The Project is considered a Class 32 and Categorically Exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects), and none of the limitations set forth in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

SECTION 3. DECISION. Based on the evidence and testimony presented, and the findings included herein, the City Council hereby upholds the decision of the Planning Commission to deny the application for Site Plan Review and Zoning Variances and denies the application for Tentative Tract Map approval.

NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEBELLO HEREBY RESOLVES, FINDS, AND DECLARES AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 1. RECITALS. The City Council finds that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings in this Resolution.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS. With independent consideration of the application and all associated materials, the reports provided by staff, public testimony, and information provided in the record of the Planning Commission related to this Project; the City Council hereby makes the following findings:

A. GENERAL PLAN
The Project conforms to the following goals and policies of the Montebello General Plan.

General Plan Goal to Encourage urban infill and compact development A2.7a states a goal “Promote infill development on vacant and underutilized sites….”
General Plan Goal for development that will create diverse and walkable neighborhoods A3.4b states a goal “Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable and bicycle friendly road designs with slow vehicular design speeds.”
General Plan Goal to retrofit suburban development P3.6 states the goal to “Integrate more housing choices in existing subdivisions”.

B. SITE PLAN REVIEW
Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any Site Plan Review shall be granted, all the following findings must be made:

1. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the Montebello Municipal Code;

Page 29 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-62

Page 3 of 17 ends

2. That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan; and
The proposed Project site is consistent with the general plan and reflects the goals that were set in place when designating certain zoning areas with different housing types. The Project site has the capacity for more development and the density is appropriate to the neighborhood and surrounding uses. Similar projects have also been approved in the close vicinity. The current plans are for 15 units with full roads, fire department turn around, and a small park for the residents to enjoy. The zone variance will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

3. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

The proposed addition will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties as the surrounding area is currently developed with an existing single-family unit. The zone variances and subsequent development would not be harmful to the general welfare of the neighborhood, city or create problems for the public health or safety. It would increase the welfare by first supporting investments, bringing in construction and related jobs, and providing housing to the community. The current use is R-1 single family residential, and the proposed residential zoning will not change. All the immediate surrounding land uses are consistent with residential housing. The addition of this Project will be consistent with the surrounding land uses and will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.

C. VARIANCES
Pursuant to section 17.72.060 of the MMC, before any variance shall be granted, the Applicant has demonstrated the following facts:

1. Describe the special major unusual circumstance applicable to the subject property, which do not generally apply to other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

Page 30 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-62

Page 4 of 17 ends

Unlike other properties in the surrounding neighborhood, the subject site is very large for a single-family home. It is a unique 1.38-acre lot. There is not another house like it in the neighborhood. Currently, the unit is providing very little benefit to the neighborhood with so much land being underutilized. Without the zone variance request in this application, the Applicant believes they would be deprived of maximizing the market value of their property. The increased property values of this new residential development would increase property tax revenues for the City. Further rejection of the Zone Variance requests would deprive the Applicant of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications by not being able to fully utilize the Project site. a. The lot sizes: This single-family residential lot is special to the neighborhood as there is no other lot in the surrounding area that is the same size, making it difficult to design the homes on such a unique sized lot to optimize the area for each unit, resulting in reduced lot sizes.
b. Lot coverage: As a result of the lot sizes being smaller than usual, which is not typical, the Applicant requests to use as much space as possible causing the lot coverage to be more than usual.
c. Front setbacks: With the reduced sizes and the lot coverage being above than typically allowed, this unusual case has put the Applicant in the position to design the houses in a way that would best benefit the future homeowner.

Page 31 of 1292 ends

RESOLUTION NO. 24-62

Page 5 of 17 ends

c. Front Setbacks: If the Applicant were to abide by the front yard setbacks, the future homeowners would have a large front yard and an extremely small backyard. The Applicant decided to utilize the space and provide a larger backyard to optimize the space in the best way.

4. Describe how the proposed Zone Variance will not cause an adverse effect on the public welfare or surrounding properties.

The site for the proposed use would not adversely affect the general welfare of the surrounding property owners because the size of the house and the two-story construction is consistent with the majority of the houses in the neighborhood. The property immediately south of the residence, although zoned R-1 single family residential does have three story town homes. There are many other properties in the immediate surroundings with greater densities, assuring this addition will not have any effects on the neighbors or the surrounding area. a. Lot sizes: The variance of lot sizes will not affect the surrounding users as there currently are units in the surrounding area that are similar sizes and have no effect on the surrounding properties.
b. Lot coverage: Although the lots will be above the allowed lot coverage, and the lots will be fully built out, every unit will be of a similar design, the consistency will ensure no unit will stand out from the others. c. Front setback: Although the lots will have a very small front yard, the units will still each have a two-car garage for the residents. This will help with any

Page 32 of 1292 ends

Page 6 of 17 ends

concerns regarding the limited driveway that will result from the front setback variance.

5. Describe how the granting of the Zone Variance will be consistent with the general plan and intent of the Zoning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan.

D. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP

1. Describe how the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Specific plans as described in California Government Code Section 65451.

The proposed Project that would be allowed through this subdivision would result in over 23,000 square feet of open space and medium cost for 15 families.

2. Describe how the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable general and specific plans; The general plan seeks to balance open space with developed space, and to group uses in neighborhoods for mutual enjoyment of the occupants and the residents. The Project provides open space and a private park as well as houses for sale. The development will allow the future residents to enjoy quality housing in a safe and secure environment. The development will also allow for modest growth in the city that will benefit business and the school system.

3. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the type of development.

The existing property has been developed as a single-family home since 1938. The house is aging and is in disrepair. Since its original construction, the community has grown around the house, and many of the developments around it now have much greater density. The combination of the property’s size as well as the denser development around it makes it suitable for this type of housing. The Project will have 16 parcels, with 15 single family homes on each separate parcel with a parcel for streets, utilities and a private park which will be owned by all of the homes and managed by a home owners association that will be set upon completion of construction.

5. Describe how the design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife and their habitat; The existing house has been built since 1938 as a single-family home, there is no wildlife on the property that can be impacted.

8. Describe how the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system would not add to or result in violation of existing water quality control standards.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District will ensure that the construction of these units will not be of great impact to the sewer systems.

BACKGROUND:

On January 22, 2024, John Mark Kozakar (the “Applicant”) on behalf of William M Molinari (“Property Owner”) filed a Master Land Use Application requesting Site Plan Review, multiple Zone Variances and Tentative Tract Map applications to allow the construction of 15 new single-family homes on an existing single family residential lot at the Project Site.

On January 22, 2024, staff issued a deemed complete letter to the Applicant pursuant to California Government Code Section 65943 et seq.

On June 4, 2024, the Planning Commissoin held a duly noticed public hearing to consider the proposed project. Director Palombi introduced the item, and Assistant Planner Emilie Fernandez presented the Site Plan Review (SPR), Zone Variance (ZV), and Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for the proposed project at 301 Jacmar Drive. The applicant’s representative, John Mark Kozakar, addressed questions from the Planning Commission. This public hearing included 13 speakers (3 in support, 10 in opposition) and public comments (5 in opposition, 1 in support). Concerns included impacts on wildlife, parking, trash, and outreach adequacy. The item was continued to the next regularly scheduled meeting on June 18, 2024, with a request for additional information on parking plans, HOA bylaws, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) from the previous project, and community outreach documentation.

On June 18, 2024, the Planning Commission considered the continued item from the previous meeting. Assistant Planner Emilie Fernandez provided additional documentation addressing concerns from the previous meeting. Chair Morales reopened the public hearing to allow the public, the applicant, and representatives to provide public comment. The Planning Commission discussed community outreach, CEQA compliance, and the project's impact on the community. Specific concerns were raised regarding parking regulations, outreach and the presence of endangered species within the property. This public hearing included 10 speakers (6 in support, 4 in opposition) and public comments (1 in support). Concerns focused on outreach efforts and environmental impacts. There was no action taken by the Planning Commission during this meeting and the item was continued to the Planning Commission meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 16, 2024. The Commissioners requested that the applicant work with City Staff to explore a variation in the scope of the project. Additionally, the Commissioners directed City Staff to make all documents presented to the Planning

ANALYSIS:

Project Site
Jack Mark Kozakar (the “Applicant”) is proposing to demolish the existing single-family residential home located at 301 Jacmar Drive and construct 15 residential dwelling units and related amenities consistent with plans under Attachment A. The subject site is approximately 60,101 square feet (1.38 acres) within the R-1 (Single-Family residential zone). The subject site currently has a one-story, single-family residence with a swimming pool, landscaping, and mature trees. The subject site is generally west of South Bluff Road and north of Washington Boulevard. The Subject Site is bordered north, east, south, and west by residential properties zones R-1 (Single Family Residential) and R-3 (Multi-Family Residential).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant seeks approval from the Planning Commission for Site Plan Review and related variances to accommodate the construction of 15 single-family residential dwelling units (the "proposed Project") that would include the subdivision of an existing improved site with a comprised lot area of approximately 60,101 square feet (or 1.38 acres). In addition, the applicant seeks a recommendation from the Planning Commission regarding VTTM No. 084478. The Site Plan Review is required for all residential projects resulting in three or more dwelling units. The project will result in 15 dwelling units pursuant to the proposed subdivsion; therefore, the Site Plan approval is required. The units will have between 3 to 4 bedrooms and either 2.5 or 3.5 bathrooms. Each unit will be two stories, have one living room, kitchen, dining room and two car garages. A Zone Variance is required when wanting to deviate from the Montebello Municipal Code. The standard size requirement for single family lots is 5,000 square feet per unit, the proposed residential units would range from 2,420 to 3,428 square feet. The applicant is also deviating from the lot coverage standards. For the R-1 Zone, the allowed lot coverage is 40%, and the applicant is proposing lot coverages ranging from 41.68% to 47.82%. The standards for setbacks include 20 feet in front, 5 on each side and 10 feet from the back.

The applicant will comply with the sides and back setback but is requesting the front setback to range between 4.5 to 6.5 feet. A Tentative Tract Map application is required for any subdivision that results in five or more parcels.

The Project conforms to the following goals and policies of the Montebello General Plan.

The proposed project conforms to the City of Montebello General Plan Land Use Element as the proposed use will allow the Montebello community to benefit from the addition of the 15 new Single-Family residential homes, providing future Montebello residents with more housing choices in existing residential neighborhoods. The current project site has one home on the lot and the lot size can be utilized for more homes, growing the community. With this increase in housing, it is supporting the General Plan goals by responding to the needs of the community and by reflecting the density standards that are outlined in the housing element of the General Plan.

REQUIRED FINDINGS MONTEBELLO MUNICIPAL CODE (MMC)
SITE PLAN REVIEW (MMC 17.74)
The purpose of the site plan review is to minimize or preclude potential adverse impacts to the public interest or on abutting properties and adjacent residential, commercial, and industrial neighborhoods, resulting from the design or layout of a proposed development.

Section 17.74.030- When required explains that a site plan review is required for all residential projects resulting in the construction of three or more units.

Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any site plan review shall be granted, all the following findings must be made:

A. That the proposed design for improvement complies with all requirements of the Montebello Municipal Code;
The 15 proposed units will all have a two-car garage, and heights will not exceed 25 feet, access to all units be via a driveway, the units will have open space and the setbacks will be landscaped. The applicant is requesting a zone variance from the R-1 standards regarding the minimum required setbacks, lot sizes and the lot coverage percentage per unit. A Site Plan is required due to the project resulting in three or more units according to Section 17.74.030.

B. That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan; and

Page 69 of 1292 ends

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

Page 7 of 12 ends

The proposed project site is consistent with the general plan and reflects the goals that were set in place when designating certain zoning areas with different housing types. The project site has the capacity for more development and the density is appropriate to the neighborhood and surrounding uses. Similar projects have also been approved in the close vicinity. The current plans are for 15 units with full roads, fire department turn around, and a small park for the residents to enjoy. The zone variance will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

C. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

The proposed addition will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties as the surrounding area is currently developed with an existing single-family unit. The zone variances and subsequent development would not be harmful to the general welfare of the neighborhood, city or create problems for the public health or safety. It would increase the welfare by first supporting investments, bringing in construction and related jobs, and providing housing to the community. The current use is R-1 single family residential, and the proposed residential zoning will not change. All the immediate surrounding land uses are consistent with residential housing. The addition of this project will be consistent with the surrounding land uses and will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.

REQUIRED FINDINGS MONTEBELLO MUNICIPAL CODE (MMC)
VARIANCES (MMC Chapter 17.72 et seq.)
The sole purpose of the variance is to ensure that no property, because of special circumstance applicable to it, shall be deprived of privileges commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same vicinity and zone. No variance shall be granted by other properties in the same vicinity and zone.

A Zone Variance is being requested to deviate from the development standards within an R-1 Zone. The applicant is requesting to deviate from the standards for lot size, setback, and lot coverage. According to the MMC section 17.10.020 development standards for new development, new development of a single-family residential unit, the lot size must be 5,000 square feet. The front setback must be 20 feet, the rear 10 feet, and sides 5 feet and the lot coverage standard is also 40 percent. The applicant is seeking to deviate from all three of the stated requirements.

Page 8 of 12 ends

Pursuant to section 17.72.060 of the MMC, before any variance shall be granted, the Planning Commission satisfy that the applicant has demonstrated the following facts:

A. Describe the special major unusual circumstance applicable to the subject property, which do not generally apply to other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

Further rejection of the zone variance requests would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications by not being able to fully utilize the project site.

2. Lot coverage: As a result of the lot sizes being smaller than usual, which is not typical, the applicant requests to use as much space as possible causing the lot coverage to be more than usual.

3. Front setbacks: With the reduced sizes and the lot coverage being above than typically allowed, this unusual case has put the applicant in the position to design the houses in a way that would best benefit the future homeowner.

Although the design of the house can allow the applicant to have a larger front yard, the applicant has decided to use the space to allow for a larger private backyard for each of the residents and apply for the zone variance.

B. Detail how due to the special or unusual circumstance a described above, strict application of the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships, or would deprive the property privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

The existing property is in some disrepair, and it is the goal of the applicant to revitalize the lot which would result in the demolition of the existing house and replacing it with modern housing. The house is currently 85 years old and no longer the best use for a lot that size for the city for housing density. The zoning code does not allow the applicant to best utilize the lot with its unique size the applicant is requesting to optimize their lot, allowing the future homeowners to use as much of their lot as possible.

1. The lot sizes: If the lot sizes were up to standard, there essentially would not be enough room on the lot to accommodate as many homes as the applicant

Page 71 of 1292 ends

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

Page 9 of 12 ends

is requesting. The applicant is trying to utilize the lot and has retained inspiration from surrounding developments that have similar lot sizes.

Without the minimized lot sizes, the project would not be possible.

2. Lot coverage: If the applicant would design the houses using the Montebello Municipal code requirements, the houses would be extremely small and not suitable for a growing family, which the applicant hopes to house.

3. Front Setbacks: If the applicant were to abide by the front yard setbacks, the future homeowners would have a large front yard and an extremely small backyard. The applicant decided to utilize the space and provide a larger backyard to optimize the space in the best way.

C. Explain how the Zoning Variance is necessary for the preservation of the substantial property right to allow a reasonable use of the subject property, which is possessed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

1. Lot sizes: The lot sizes being smaller than required allows for more units which gives the applicant a mechanism to provide more housing options to Montebello residents..

2. Lot Coverage: Being able to build more on each lot provides the units with a bigger house for bigger rooms, kitchen and bathroom areas providing a more comfortable to provide a more attractive home to any future residents.

3. Front setback: Having a smaller front setback allows the residents to enjoy more space in the backyard of the units which is necessary with many of the new housing developments having such a small backyard. Although the applicant will take away from the front setback, every unit will also have an attached garage for two cars.

D. Describe how the proposed Zone Variance will not cause an adverse effect on the public welfare or surrounding properties.

Page 72 of 1292 ends

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

Page 10 of 12 ends

E. Describe how the granting of the Zone variance will be consistent with the general plan and intent of the Zoning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan.

The proposed project provides single family homes in a neighborhood that also has single family units keeping the use consistent with the current zoning and type of development with similar square footage. The proposed project has been properly notified and will be consistent with the general plan as the project site is has been designated for residential units.

REQUIRED FINDINGS MONTEBELLO MUNICIPAL CODE (MMC)
TENTATIVE TRACT MAP (MMC Chapter 16.12 et seq.)
A. Describe how the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Specific plans as described in California Government Code Section 65451.

The proposed project that would be allowed through this subdivision would result in over 23,000 square feet of open space and medium cost for 15 families. The zone is consistent with the general plan and provides additional housing in the R1- Zone that is designated for single family housing developments making the project consistent with the general plan.

The project provides open space and a private park as well as houses for sale. The development will allow the future resident to enjoy quality housing in a safe and secure environment. The development will also allow for modest growth in the city that will benefit business and the school system.

C. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the type of development The existing property has been developed as a single-family home since 1938. The house is aging and is in disrepair. Since its original construction, the community has grown around the house, and many of the developments around it have now have much greater density. The combination of the property’s size as well as the denser development around it makes it suitable for this type of housing. The project

Page 73 of 1292 ends

PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF JULY 16, 2024

Page 11 of 12 ends

will have 16 parcels, with 15 single family homes on each separate parcels with a parcel for streets, utilities and a private park which will be owned by all of the homes and managed by a home owners association that will be set upon completion of construction.

D. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development;
The site is suitable for the proposed density as many of the developments in the surrounding neighborhood also have similar densities and the square footage of the lot can be designed to provide 15 homes. The now underutilized lot will provide housing to Montebello residents.

E. Describe how the design of the subdivision or proposed improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidable injure fish or wildlife and their habitat;
The existing house has been built since 1938 as a single-family home, there is no wildlife on the property that can be impacted.

F. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvement is not likely to cause serious public health problems;
According to a study conducted by the applicant, the project is estimated to produce less than 113 trips per day including 7 trips during the AM peak hour and 8 during the PM peak hours. The modern construction techniques will be employed for the project with lessen the likelihood of termites and other insects that have the potential of appearing because of the project.

G. Describe how the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision; and
The height of the project will not exceed 25 feet in elevation; thus, it will not conflict with any neighbor’s rights with respect to blocking views. The utility easement on the west side of the property for electrical and communication cabling will be maintained. The utility engineering for the project will likely create or renew utility access for the project location itself as well as for the neighborhood.

H. Describe how the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system would not add to or result in violation of existing water quality control standards.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District will ensure that the construction of these units will not be of great impact to the sewer systems.

Page 76 of 1292 ends

NOW, THEREFORE, the Planning Commission of the City of Montebello hereby resolves that:

SECTION 1. RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated as substantive findings in this Resolution.

SECTION 2. FINDINGS
A. GENERAL PLAN. The Planning Commission of the City of Montebello finds that the proposed Project is consistent with the General Plan.

Per the Montebello General Plan, the Project conforms to:

1. General Plan Goal to Encourage urban infill and compact development A2.7a states a goal “Promote infill development on vacant and underutilized sites….”

2. General Plan Goal for development that will create diverse and walkable neighborhoods A3.4b states a goal “Encourage a block and street layout that promotes walkable and bicycle friendly road designs with slow vehicular design speeds.”

3. General Plan Goal to retrofit suburban development P3.6 states the goal to “Integrate more housing choices in existing subdivisions”.

B. SITE PLAN REVIEW. Pursuant to Section 17.74.070 of the MMC, before any site plan review shall be granted, all of the following findings must be made:

Page 77 of 1292 ends

have open space and the setbacks will be landscaped. The applicant is requesting a zone variance from the R-1 standards regarding the minimum required setbacks, lot sizes and the lot coverage percentage per unit. A Site Plan is required due to the project resulting in three or more units according to Section 17.74.030.

2. That the proposed design for improvement is consistent with the general plan; and
The proposed project site is consistent with the general plan and reflects the goals that were set in place when designating certain zoning areas with different housing types. The project site has the capacity for more development and the density is appropriate to the neighborhood and surrounding uses. Similar projects have also been approved in the close vicinity. The current plans are for 15 units with full roads, fire department turn around, and a small park for the residents to enjoy. The zone variance will not cause substantial environmental damage or injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

3. That the proposed design for improvement will not have any significant adverse impact on the surrounding properties or on the general public welfare.

It would increase the welfare by first supporting investments, bringing in construction and related jobs, and providing housing to the community.

The current use is R-1 single family residential, and the proposed residential zoning will not change. All the immediate surrounding land uses are consistent with residential housing. The addition of this project will be consistent with the surrounding land uses and will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.

C. ZONE VARIANCE. Pursuant to Section 17.72 of the MMC before any zone variance review shall be granted, all of the following findings must be made:

Page 78 of 1292 ends

1. Describe the special major unusual circumstance applicable to the subject property, which do not generally apply to other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

Unlike other properties in the surrounding neighborhood, the subject site is very large for a single-family home. It is a unique 1.38-acre lot.

There is not another house like it in the neighborhood. Currently, the unit is providing very little benefit to the neighborhood with so much land being underutilized. Without the zone variance request in this application, the applicant believes they would be deprived of maximizing the market value of their property. The increased property values of this new residential development would increase property tax revenues for the City. Further rejection of the zone variance requests would deprive the applicant of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications by not being able to fully utilize the project site.
i. The lot sizes: This single-family residential lot is special to the neighborhood as there is no other lot in the surrounding area that is the same size, making it difficult to design the homes on such a unique sized lot to optimize the area for each unit, resulting in reduced lot sizes.
ii. Lot coverage: As a result of the lot sizes being smaller than usual, which is not typical, the applicant requests to use as much space as possible causing the lot coverage to be more than usual.
iii. Front setbacks: With the reduced sizes and the lot coverage being above than typically allowed, this unusual case has put the applicant in the position to design the houses in a way that would best benefit the future homeowner. Although the design of the house can allow the applicant to have a larger front yard, the applicant has decided to use the space to allow for a larger private backyard for each of the residents and apply for the zone variance.

2. Detail how due to the special or unusual circumstance a described above, strict application of the Zoning Code would result in practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships, or would deprive the property privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and with the same zoning designation.

The existing property is in some disrepair, and it is the goal of the applicant to revitalize the lot which would result in the demolition of the

Page 79 of 1292 ends

existing house and replacing it with modern housing. The house is currently 85 years old and no longer the best use for a lot that size for the city for housing density. The zoning code does not allow the applicant to best utilize the lot with its unique size the applicant is requesting to optimize their lot, allowing the future homeowners to use as much of their lot as possible.
i. The lot sizes: If the lot sizes were up to standard, there essentially would not be enough room on the lot to
accommodate as many homes as the applicant is requesting.

The applicant is trying to utilize the lot and has retained inspiration from surrounding developments that have similar lot sizes. Without the minimized lot sizes, the project would not be possible.
ii. Lot coverage: If the applicant would design the houses using the Montebello Municipal code requirements, the houses would be extremely small and not suitable for a growing family, which the applicant hopes to house.
iii. Front Setbacks: If the applicant were to abide by the front yard setbacks, the future homeowners would have a large front yard and an extremely small backyard. The applicant decided to utilize the space and provide a larger backyard to optimize the space in the best way.

To properly utilize the future lots the applicant is requesting to apply these zone variances to properly utilize the area on the lot and to design each lot to properly maintain the most use out of the project site that is being redeveloped.
i. Lot sizes: The lot sizes being smaller than required allows for more units which gives the applicant a mechanism to provide more housing options to Montebello residents.
ii. Lot Coverage: Being able to build more on each lot provides the units with a bigger house for bigger rooms, kitchen and bathroom areas providing a more comfortable to provide a more attractive home to any future residents.

Page 80 of 1292 ends

iii. Front setback: Having a smaller front setback allows the residents to enjoy more space in the backyard of the units which is necessary with many of the new housing developments
having such a small backyard. Although the applicant will take away from the front setback, every unit will also have an attached garage for two cars.

4. Describe how the proposed Zone Variance will not cause an adverse effect on the public welfare or surrounding properties.

The site for the proposed use would not adversely affect the general welfare of the surrounding property owners because the size of the house and the two-story construction is consistent with the majority of the houses in the neighborhood. The property immediately south of the residence, although zoned R-1 single family residential does have three story town homes. There are many other properties in the immediate surroundings with greater densities, assuring this addition will not have any effects on the neighbors or the surrounding area. i. Lot sizes: The variance of lot sizes will not affect the surrounding users as there currently are units in the surrounding area that are similar sizes and have no effect on the
surrounding properties.
ii. Lot coverage: Although the lots will be above the allowed lot coverage, and the lots will be fully built out, every unit will be of a similar design, the consistency will ensure no unit will stand out from the others.
iii. Front setback: Although the lots will have a very small front yard, the units will still each have a two-car garage for the residents. This will help with any concerns regarding the limited driveway that will result from the front setback variance.

5. Describe how the granting of the Zone variance will be consistent with the general plan and intent of the Zoning Code and will not adversely affect the General Plan.

The proposed project has been properly notified and will be consistent with the general plan as the project site is has been designated for residential units.

Page 81 of 1292 ends

D. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP. Pursuant to Section 16.12 of the MMC before a tentative tract map shall be granted, all of the following findings must be made:

A. Describe how the proposed map is consistent with the General Plan and Specific plans as described in California Government Code Section 65451.

The proposed project that would be allowed through this subdivision would result in over 23,000 square feet of open space and medium cost for 15 families. The zone is consistent with the general plan and provides additional housing in the R1-Zone that is designated for single family housing developments making the project consistent with the general plan.

B. Describe how the design or improvements of the proposed subdivision are consistent with the applicable general and specific plans; The general plan seeks to balance open space with developed space, and to group uses in neighborhoods for mutual enjoyment of the occupants and the residents. The project provides open space and a private park as well as houses for sale. The development will allow the future resident to enjoy quality housing in a safe and secure environment. The development will also allow for modest growth in the city that will benefit business and the school system.

C. Describe how the site is physically suitable for the type of development.

The existing property has been developed as a single-family home since 1938. The house is aging and is in disrepair. Since its original construction, the community has grown around the house, and many of the developments around it have now have much greater density. The combination of the property’s size as well as the denser development around it makes it suitable for this type of housing. The project will have 16 parcels, with 15 single family homes on each separate parcels with a parcel for streets, utilities and a private park which will be owned by all of the homes and managed by a home owners association that will be set upon completion of construction.

Page 82 of 1292 ends

The utility engineering for the project will likely create or renew utility access for the project location itself as well as for the neighborhood.

H. Describe how the discharge of waste from the proposed subdivision into the existing sewer system would not add to or result in violation of existing water quality control standards.

The Los Angeles County Sanitation District will ensure that the construction of these units will not be of great impact to the sewer systems.

SECTION 3. CEQA. The Planning Commission approves and adopts the CEQA Categorical Exemption § 15332 (In Fill Development) Class 32 exemption. A Class 32 exemption under CEQA § 15332 (In-Fill Development Projects), and none of the limitations set forth in CEQA Guidelines 15300.2 apply.

Subject:[External Email] Continued Public Hearing on 301 Jacmar Drive External Sender - From: (kevin smith <[email protected]>) This message came from outside your organization.

Hello,
I am once again writing to encourage the approval of the Zone Variance and Tentative Tract Map at 301 Jacmar Drive (Case No. PC-2024-0002-SPR/ZV/TTM). This proposal turns 1 unit into 16 housing units, providing an extra 15 units for prospective home buyers in Montebello. These are home buyers who are no longer competing with our children, loved ones, and friends who are attempting to live in the city.

Unlike many attending these meetings, I didn't grow up in Montebello. I actually grew up over in Los Alamitos. I met my wife at college, and she took me to her hometown of Montebello. I immediately fell in love - both with her, and with the city. It was difficult to afford a house here, but we managed. Since we purchased a house, prices have skyrocketed. None of my wife's siblings are able to afford a house here anymore, and are at risk of being forced out. We worry what about what will happen to our children. I'm sure a lot of you have similar stories about young adults struggling to stay here due to skyrocketing prices. The only solution here is to build enough housing to accommodate our kids. That's what this project allows us to do: increase the housing supply in Montebello, so we can all afford to stay here. I can cite study after study showing this effect, but we're all smart people here, and I think everyone here is able to intuitively understand what's happening here.

A lot of you are concerned about parking, and I get it. Parking in south Montebello is a mess. It's worth remembering, though, that we are in a housing crisis here. A crisis that demands immediate action. And while there is a parking shortage, it's also true that each house has its own private garage, which can be used. And it's also true that the parking space in front of the house is owned by the city, not by the resident.

Beyond this, it's worth remembering that we are paying for a $40 million bus line less than a mile from the site. Beyond that, we are hard at work building an E line extension, which will include a station 0.6 miles away from this location! I beg of you, believe in our public transit spending, believe in the data, and do the right thing for our children.

Thank you for your consideration,
Kevin Smith

To: Planning Commissioners, Rep of Council District 5 and City Administrators, Re: Item #5 on Planning Commision Agenda for June 4th
While I could not attend today’s planning commission meeting, and this note is beyond the 6PM public comment electronic submittal deadline this does not change my comment for such item.

The property at 301 Jacmar has been a very contentious issue for the neighbors and residents of the south part of District 5, specifically because this has been brought to question several times within the city before past council body members.

I would like to request that all the members that submitted testimony and concerns ( during council meetings and public open meetings by developers) over the last 3 years be approached in an open forum before this item is considered in planning.This means having an open forum meeting that explains intentions at full length without a timer to understand the owner and developer’s intentions and express concerns as well as trying to find a balance for all. Given that this has been a hot item for this community it is concerning that no outreach or communication was done to the group of concerned citizens. The communication should have been done by the city ( which would have had public record of all past concerns with the proposals to change zoning), the owner, developer and the representative of the 5th district. At this time-none of that has been done other than a public posting. If you want this city to work together you and least need to hear the concerns prior to setting this up 72 hours before a meeting. You can achieve a lot when you built trust and listen.

Thank you for taking your time to dedicate your public service at our planning commission and for taking my comment into consideration.

Subject:[External Email] Public Comment for Planning Commission Meeting Item #5 External Sender - From: (kevin smith <[email protected]>) This message came from outside your organization.

Hello,
Unfortunately due to my work schedule, I am unable to attend the meeting and make this comment in person. However, I wanted to urge you to support the Zone Variance and adopt Resolution No. 07-24 Approving the Site Plan Review Zone Variance No. PC-2024-0002-SPR/ZV/TTM.

We are currently in a housing crisis. The rents are so high, longtime residents of the city are being squeezed out and forced to leave. I have personally witnessed it, and I'm sure you (the reader of this email) has as well. Not only that, but high rents are also associated with an increase in homelessness. However, there is a well established fix for this problem of high housing costs.

New apartment buildings in low-income areas decrease nearby rents. More specifically, evidence shows that within 500 ft, for every 10% increase in the housing stock, rents decrease by 1%; and for every 10% increase in the condo stock, condo sales prices decrease by 0.9%. Further, another study shows that new buildings decrease rents in nearby units by about 6% relative to units slightly farther away or near sites developed later. Many people fear the construction of luxury housing, but it turns out that new construction makes homes more affordable—even for those who can't afford the new units.

The best thing about this fix is that it won't cost the city a dime. In fact, city profits are likely to increase with the increase in property tax. All we need to do is to allow property owners to build housing on their property.

That is exactly what Item Number 5 is about. While there may be fears of traffic and parking, these complications are ultimately much simpler to deal with than the current housing and homelessness crisis we are facing. I urge you to do the right thing - for our people, for the environment, and for the city's finances.

For more information on this, I recommend you read Strong Towns by Charles Marohn, Green Metropolis by David Owen, and Arbitrary Lines by David Owen. I would also recommend Paved Paradise by Henry Grabar, for more reading on the parking problem (also The High Cost of Free Parking by Donald Shoup).

With respect,
Kevin Smith

Subject:[External Email] 301 JACMAR DRIVE, MONTEBELLO ( 15 RESIDENTIAL UNITS ) External Sender - From: (Connie Soto <[email protected]>) This message came from outside your organization.

To the City Council,
My name is Concepcion Tapia, my house backs up to 301 Jacmar.

I do not support the proposed project of 15 residential units or 16 Legal lots and strongly ask that you disapprove. My privacy will be invaded, the Eagle's home will be destroyed, and it will get noisier! South Montebello needs improvements, not increasing population overcrowding or additional traffic.

On Bluff RD traffic is already a problem and if units are approved it will get worse.

So I ask that you reject this zone change.

Thank you for your time.

Connie

ITEM # 5

CITY OF MONTEBELLO

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STAFF REPORT
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Raul Alvarez, City Manager

BY: Cesar Roldan, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NOS. 4286 AND 4287 WITH OFFICE SOLUTIONS BUSINESS PRODUCTS & SERVICES

LLC AND MOHAWK CARPET DISTRIBUTION, LLC RESPECTIVELY

TO PURCHASE AND INSTALL UPGRADED WORKSTATIONS AND

FLOORING
DATE: March 26, 2025
RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is recommended that the City Council:

3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements and approve change orders for up to ten percent (10%) of the total compensation amount for each proposed agreement; and

4. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget by increasing appropriations by $80,000 in Account No. 100-30-510-6083 (General Fund, Public Works, Government Building Maintenance, Furniture and Fixtures Purchases); and,

5. Take such additional, related action that may be desirable.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The total cost for upgrading and installing workstations and flooring is $177,870, which

Page 212 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 2 of 3 ends

includes a 10% contingency. However, the adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 budget did not fully allocate the necessary funds for this project. As a result, a budget amendment will be required to cover the total cost of this project.

Staff recommend amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget by increasing appropriations by $80,000 in Account No. 100-30-510-6083 (General Fund, Public Works, Government Building Maintenance, Furniture and Fixtures Purchases) to accommodate expenditures for this project.

Additionally, staff request authorization for the City Manager to execute all contract change orders, provided they are approved and negotiated in good faith by the Director of Public Works. A summary of the expenditures is shown in the table below:

Contractor Project Cost 10% Contingency Total Expenditure Bluespace Interiors $ 121,527 $ 12,153 $ 133,680
Mohawk $ 40,173 $ 4,017 $ 44,190
GRAND TOTAL $ 177,870
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

The existing office workstations and flooring in the Public Works Department in City Hall are outdated, dilapidated, not ADA compliant, do not meet current ergonomic standards and no longer meet the functional needs of the department. These workstations and flooring have exceeded their useful life. The proposed upgrades aim to optimize the limited office space available by introducing ergonomic workstations that improve both comfort and functionality. In addition, the new layout will accommodate a growing workforce and support enhanced productivity. New workstations and flooring will not only meet the department’s current demands, but will also improve the overall work environment. This modernization is expected to contribute to the department’s efficiency, morale, and long-term success.

Over the years, Bluespace Interiors and Mohawk have provided exceptional service and products to other City departments, including Administration, Fire, Finance, Police, Recreation, Community Development, and Transportation. Their work has consistently improved the workforce’s comfort, efficiency, and productivity. Based on this track record, the City has decided to proceed with these vendors for the current project.

The City intends to utilize Sourcewell Contracts No. 091423-TKN and No. 061323-MCD as the approved procurement process, in accordance with Montebello Municipal Code (MMC) Section 3.20.050(F) Cooperative Purchase. Sourcewell offers a cooperative purchasing model, which ensures competitive solicitations that meet or exceed local requirements. This is demonstrated through Sourcewell's Request for Proposals (RFPs), as outlined in RFP #061323 (Attachment C) and RFP #091423 (Attachment D). This streamlined procurement process will save valuable time, money, and resources for the City. As a government agency, the City is eligible to take advantage of Sourcewell's

Page 213 of 1292 ends

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT - MEETING OF MARCH 26, 2025

Page 3 of 3 ends

cooperative contracts, ensuring both compliance and cost-effectiveness throughout the procurement process.

SUMMARY:

Staff recommend approving Professional Services Agreement No. 4286 with Office Solutions Business Products & Services, LLC (dba Bluespace Interiors) to purchase, install, and upgrade workstations for Public Works and Human Resources; and approve Professional Services Agreement No. 4287 with Mohawk Carpet Distribution, LLC to purchase and install flooring for segments of the West Wing of City Hall — both of which are Sourcewell Contracts per Montebello Municipal Code Section 3.20.050(F); and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreements and approve change orders for up to ten percent (10%) of the total compensation amount for each proposed agreement.

e. Each insurance policy required above shall state that coverage shall not be canceled, except after thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (ten [10] days for non-payment) has been given to the CITY. The CONTRACTOR agrees that if it does not keep the aforesaid insurance in full force and effect the CITY may either (i)

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT NO. 4286

Page 7 of 12 ends

immediately terminate this Agreement for Cause; or (ii) take out the necessary insurance and pay, at the CONTRACTOR’s expense, the premium thereon. f. Evidence of Insurance prior to commencement. The Contractor shall provide to the CITY Certificate(s) of Insurance evidencing such coverage together with copies of the required policy endorsements no later than five (5) business days prior to commencement of service and at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the expiration of any policy. Unreasonable failure to provide such evidence may be cause for termination of the Agreement as provided herein or delay the services’ commencement date. The evidence of insurance shall be U.S. mail or email to:

City of Montebello
Attn: Risk Manager
1600 West Beverly Boulevard
Montebello, CA 90640
Email: [email protected]
Coverage shall not be suspended, voided, cancelled, reduced in coverage or in limits, non-renewed, or materially changed for any reason, without thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof given by the insurer to the CITY by U.S. mail, or by personal delivery, except for nonpayment of premiums, in which case ten (10) days prior notice shall be provided.
g. Evidence of Insurance during the entire term of the Agreement. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the CONTRACTOR shall maintain on file with the CITY’s Risk Manager a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that the aforesaid policies are in effect in the required amounts and naming the CITY as an additional insured. The CONTRACTOR shall, prior to commencement of work under this Agreement, file with the CITY’s Risk Manager such certificate(s). h. The CONTRACTOR shall provide proof that policies of insurance required herein expiring during the term of this Agreement have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Such proof will be furnished at least two (2) weeks prior to the expiration of the coverages. i. The general liability and automobile policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall contain an endorsement naming the CITY, its officers, employees, agents and volunteers as additional insureds. All of the policies required under this Agreement shall contain an endorsement providing that the policies cannot be canceled or reduced except on thirty days’ prior written notice to the CITY. The CONTRACTOR agrees to require its insurer to modify the certificates of insurance to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, and to delete the word “endeavor” with regard to any notice provisions.
j. The insurance provided by the CONTRACTOR shall be primary to any coverage available to the CITY. Any insurance or self-insurance maintained by the CITY, its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers, shall be in excess of CONTRACTOR’s insurance and shall not contribute with it. k. All insurance coverage provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not prohibit the CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR’s employees, agents or

subContractors, from waiving the right of subrogation prior to a loss. The CONTRACTOR hereby waives all rights of subrogation against the CITY. l. Any deductibles or self-insured retentions must be declared to and approved by the CITY. At the option of the CITY, the CONTRACTOR shall either reduce or eliminate the deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to the CITY, or the CONTRACTOR shall procure a bond guaranteeing payment of losses and expenses.
m. Procurement of insurance by the CONTRACTOR shall not be construed as a limitation of the CONTRACTOR'S liability or as full performance of CONTRACTOR’s duties to indemnify, hold harmless and defend under the indemnity covenants of this Agreement.

No such subcontract, delegation or assignment shall result in any increase in the amount of total compensation payable to the CONTRACTOR under the Agreement.
