DENSITY BONUS
The Project includes a Density Bonus request pursuant to California State Density Bonus Law, which is intended to incentivize the development of affordable housing by allowing qualifying projects to receive development concessions, waivers, parking relief, and other development incentives in exchange for the provision of affordable units.

As discussed in the Zoning Regulation Interpretation, the proposed residential density was evaluated using the residential intensity assumptions contained in the Housing Element’s mixed-use and opportunity-site planning policies, as well as the related P-D provisions of Chapter 21.15 of the MPMC. In addition, Zoning Regulation Interpretation further concluded that the S-P framework does not establish a standalone dwelling-units-per-acre standard applicable to this Project type and that residential intensity is instead evaluated through the integrated application of FAR and building envelope controls, parking and circulation standards, open-space organization, landscaping and buffering requirements, Site Development Plan standards, and related mixed-use and planned-development concepts reflected in the MPMC, General Plan, and Housing Element.

The Project proposes eight affordable dwelling units, representing approximately five percent of the total 159 units, designated for purchase by very low-income households. According to California’s Department of Housing and Community Development (“HCD”), the 2025 very low- income threshold for a four-person household in Los Angeles County is an annual income of $75,750. These affordable units are integrated throughout the development and are located along Potrero Grande Drive.

MPMC Chapter 21.18 (Affordable Housing Incentives – Density Bonus) requires the City to implement and apply State Density Bonus Law to qualifying residential developments that include affordable housing units. Under California law, a project providing the requisite percentage of affordable units may also qualify for concessions, incentives, and waivers, and parking ratios provided under Government Code § 65915(p).

Pursuant to Density Bonus Law, the City must grant qualifying concessions and waivers unless specific findings can be made in support of denial. Although the Project does not seek an increase in the number of residential units through a density bonus, the Applicant requests Density Bonus Law entitlements associated with the provision of affordable units, including waivers and application of the parking standards set forth in Government Code section 65915(p).

The Applicant requested application of the parking standards in Government Code § 65915(p), including with respect to residential guest parking and has submitted a parking analysis concluding that the Project satisfies the requirements of that provision. The Applicant’s requested Density Bonus Law entitlements, parking analysis, and supporting calculations are included in the Project application materials and administrative record. Staff has not identified substantial evidence supporting any of the statutory grounds for denial of the requested Density Bonus Law entitlements under Government Code § 65915.

VESTING TENTATIVE MAP
The Applicant is seeking approval of a Map to allow separate ownership for each dwelling unit.

Page 566 of 643 ends

Condominium ownership allows separate ownership of each residential unit together with shared ownership interests in the common areas. Condominium owners are mutually responsible for the maintenance of the structures and landscaping.

As discussed in the Zoning Regulation Interpretation, the Project is regulated through integrated zoning, site design, circulation, parking, landscaping, buffering, Site Development Plan, and planned development standards established by the MPMC, GP, and HE.

Accordingly, the proposed Vesting Tentative Map is consistent with the interpreted S-P framework and the applicable provisions of the MPMC, General Plan, and Housing Element.

The Map and associated plans were reviewed by the Public Works Department, Fire Department, and other applicable agencies, which recommended conditions of approval.

Pursuant to MPMC Chapter 20.10, the Applicant is required to submit a final map within 24 months of approval of the Vesting Tentative Map. The final map will be reviewed for substantial conformance with the approved Vesting Tentative Map.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
The Applicant conducted two community outreach meetings for the Project on March 28, 2026, at the Sierra Vista Park Community Center and on April 20, 2026, at the George Elder Park Community Room. Notices for the meetings were mailed to surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the Project Site for the March meeting and within 1,500 feet for the April meeting. Based on the submitted sign-in sheets (Attachment 6), attendance at the meetings was eight and nine attendees, respectively.

Key topics and comments discussed during the meetings included traffic and congestion concerns, development within Saturn Park, affordable housing, recreational amenities, open space design, school district disclosure, urban and walkable design, bicycle accommodations, the proposed number of units, landscaping recommendations, and trash service.

LEGAL NOTIFICATION
The legal notice of this hearing was published in the Monterey Park Press on June 4, 2026, with affidavits of posting on file. The legal notice was also posted at City Hall, Monterey Park Bruggemeyer Library and Langley Center, and mailed to 48 property owners within a 500-foot radius of the property in accordance with Government Code sections 65090 and 65091.

Strategic Plan Goal:

The Project satisfies the 2025-26 Strategic Plan Goal to “Strengthen our local economy and enhance housing opportunities” by achieving the goals and programs set forth in the City’s General Plan, reducing barriers to encourage housing development, and supporting economic growth in the City.

Fiscal Impact:

Approval of the Project may increase City revenues through higher property tax, sales tax, business license tax, and development-related fee revenues associated with the construction

Page 567 of 643 ends

and occupancy of the units. The exact fiscal impact is unknown and cannot be reliably quantified at this time.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MONTEREY PARK CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING A 159-UNIT CONDOMINIUM DEVELOPMENT,

INCLUDING EIGHT LIVE/WORK UNITS AND EIGHT VERY LOW -
INCOME AFFORDABLE UNITS AT 601 POTRERO GRANDE DRIVE
AND 2100 SATURN STREET (ASSESSOR’S PARCEL NUMBERS 5265- 025-055, 056 AND 058)

BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Monterey Park as follows:

SECTION 1: The City Council finds and declares that:

A. The State of California has identified housing production as a critical statewide priority, and the City is required to accommodate its assigned housing allocation through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) process;

B. On July 21 , 202 5, the Olson Company (the “Applicant”) , represented by Steve Armanino, submitted applications requesting approval of Site Development Plan No. 25-131 (“DRB-25-131”), Density Bonus DRB-26-067, and Vesting Tentative Map No. 84935 (“TM-26-03”), to allow a 159-unit condominium development, including eight live/work units and eight very low -income affordable units (the “Project”) at 601 Potrero Grande Drive and 2100 Saturn Street (the “Project Site”);

C. The City Planner reviewed the Project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) and determined that additional environmental review is not required for the Project pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.66. The City Planner further determined that the Project satisfies the requirements of that section;

D. Public Resources Code § 21080.66, added by Assembly Bill 130, became effective in July 2025, to streamline the CEQA review process for qualifying housing projects. The City determined that the Project qualifies for this statutory exemption; accordingly, technical studies, including air quality and noise analyses, were not required .

Furthermore, based on the approved application, administrative record, and AB 130 Eligibility Checklist (Attachment 5), the City determined that the Project satisfies the applicable eligibility requirements of Public Resources Code § 21080.66. Specifically, the Project is less than 20 acres, located within an urbanized area, qualifies as an infill development, is not located within a statutorily excluded area, and does not require the demolition of a historic structure;

E. On June 2, 2026, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing to assess the proposed Project, considered all oral and written evidence, and adopted Resolution No. 03-26 recommending that the City Council adopt this Resolution;

F. The City Planner reviewed the Project and noticed a public hearing regarding the

Page 570 of 643 ends

proposed Project, before the City Council on June 17, 2026. Notice of the hearing on the proposed Project was duly given as required by law.

G. On June 17 , 2026, the City Council held a public hearing to receive public testimony and other evidence regarding the proposed Project, including, without limitation, information provided to the City Council by City staff and public testimony; and

H. This Resolution and its findings are made based upon the testimony and evidence presented to the City Council at its June 17, 2026, hearing, including, without limitation, the staff report submitted by the City Planner, the administrative record, and all written and oral evidence received by the City Council.

SECTION 2: Factual Findings and Conclusions. The City Council finds that the following facts exist and makes the following conclusions:

A. The Applicant is requesting approval of DRB-25-131, Density Bonus DRB-26-067, and TM-26-03, to allow a 159 -unit condominium development, including eight live/work units and eight very low-income affordable units;

B. The Project Site is located within the Saturn Park Innovation/Technology (“S-P”) Zone and is designated as Innovation/Technology in the Land Use and Urban Design Element (“LUE”);

C. The Housing Element (“HE”) contemplates mixed-use and opportunity-site residential development at intensities comparable to the Project and includes policies encouraging housing production and affordable housing (HE Policies 3.1, 1.3.9, 4.1).

D. Ambiguity exists regarding how residential intensity and development standards apply to live/work developments within the S-P Zone and the City Planner issued an Interpretation concluding that the S -P framework does not establish a standalone residential density standard applicable to the Project and that residential intensity is evaluated through the integrated application of development standards reflected in the Monterey Park Municipal Code (“MPMC”), General Plan, Housing Element, and applicable state housing laws;

E. The Project Site measures approximately 8.0 acres (349,000 square feet) and is located at the north side of Potrero Grande Drive and is accessed from Atlas Avenue to the west, Saturn Street to the north, and Potrero Grande to the south; and

F. Surrounding properties are vacant or underutilized office and warehouse buildings, and the Project Site is improved with two separate vacant office buildings, one measuring approximately 30,000 square feet and the other approximately 160,000 square feet, as well as associated parking lots and landscaping.

SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated

Page 571 of 643 ends

thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”), the City has reviewed the proposed Project and determined that additional environmental review is not required for the Project pursuant to Public Resources Code § 21080.66. The City has further determined that the Project satisfies the eligibility requirements of that section. If approved, the City will file a Notice of Exemption as required under Public Resources Code §§ 21008, 21152.

SECTION 4: General Plan and Zoning. The Project conforms to the City's General Plan, and Title 21 (Zoning) of the MPMC, including, without limitation, as follows:

A. Housing Element Policy 3.1 – Encourage a wide range of housing types, prices, and ownership forms.

B. Housing Element Policy 3.9 – Encourage housing constructed expressly for lower and moderate-income households (including extremely low -income households) to be located throughout the City.

C. Housing Element Policy 4.1 – Encourage use of density bonuses and provide other regulatory concessions and incentives to facilitate affordable housing development.

D. Land Use and Urban Design Element Policy 1.1 – Ensure zoning regulations provide flexibility regarding allowed uses.

E. Land Use and Urban Design Element Policy 3.2 – Diversify housing options with the goal of establishing new opportunities for persons of varied incomes, ages, lifestyles, interests, and family needs – providing for aging in place and multi -generational cohabitation.

F. Land Use and Urban Design Element Policy 25.1 – Ensure that zoning regulations applicable to Saturn Park permit the range of uses necessary to achieve land use goals, including prohibition on uses involving the storage and use of hazardous materials having a Class 4 ranking (UFC Standard 79 -3 or succeed ing ranking). Prohibit uses that conflict with the goals.

G. Land Use and Urban Design Element Policy 25.3 – Create a distinct physical identity for the Saturn Park district.

H. MPMC §21.14.010 – Provide for the development of integrated professional, office, mixed-use, live/work, and limited commercial areas that exhibit a diversity of business activity from both revenue and service quality standpoints, and which are compatible and responsive to abutting land uses, including residential developments.

I. MPMC – Sections 21.02.090 and 21.02.120 provide the framework for implementing the General Plan through the Zoning Code, permitting residential and mixed -use development when allowed by the General Plan, and authorizing the City Planner to interpret zoning regulations where ambiguity exists and to set forth in writing the pertinent facts, findings, and interpretations. In applying the Saturn Park

Page 572 of 643 ends

Innovation/Technology (“S-P”) Zone provisions, the City Planner considered the S-P Zone standards, applicable General Plan and Housing Element provisions, MPMC Chapter 21.15 (Planned Development District Zone) mixed -use concepts, and Site Development Plan and site -design standards governing circulation, open space organization, landscaping, buffering and overall project layout. Therefore, the Project conforms to the MPMC by:

1. Stimulating quality development which exhibits excellence in design, architecture, and site amenities;

2. Integrating uses where more than one use is to be accommodated in a development project;

3. Achieving a level of protection of adjacent uses, where necessary, similar to that afforded by conventional site development standards; and

4. Creating ways of developing difficult properties because of their unusual size, configuration or surrounding conditions.

SECTION 5: Incorporation of Site Development Plan (Exhibit “B”). In accordance with MPMC § 21.14.180, a Site Development Plan is required for the proposed live/work development. The Site Development Plan is further subject to the design review requirements in MPMC § 21.36 (Design Review) regulations.

SECTION 6: Site Development Plan Findings. Pursuant to MPMC § 21.36.060, the City Council finds as follows:

A. The architecture and mass of new buildings and structures and modifications of existing buildings and structures are compatible and in keeping with the character of the neighborhood and not detrimental to the general welfare of the neighborhood in which they are located.

The Project Site is located within an area traditionally known by City residents as “Saturn Park.” Much of the existing development in the area consists of vacant or underutilized buildings. While the nearest residential neighborhoods are located approximately 400 to 500 feet from the site, the Project’s architecture, scale, and massing are designed to ensure compatibility with the surrounding residential character and to avoid any detriment to the general welfare of those neighborhoods.

The Project is organized as a collection of multiple residential buildings ranging from triplexes to 13 -unit buildings. Building heights are limited to two and three stories, which are consistent with the scale of traditional residential neighborhoods. In addition, the Project is designed as a gated community featuring internal drive aisles, landscaped open spaces, and pedestrian-oriented amenities for residents. The inclusion of live/work units along one primary street frontage further supports a mixed -use development pattern while maintaining compatibility with surrounding development.

Page 573 of 643 ends

The Project also reflects the existing character of the broader Saturn Park area in that there are established pattern s of residential neighborhoods adjoining office and commercial uses along the northern and western portions of Saturn Park. Similarly, the Project will be situated adjacent to existing office buildings while maintaining an appropriate transition to nearby residential areas.

B. The design and architecture reflects community design objectives ; enhances the surrounding environment; and harmonizes with its surroundings.

The Project’s design and architecture reflect the community design objectives by incorporating a high -quality live/work environment that promotes compatibility, functionality, and neighborhood character. The proposed buildings utilize Spanish architectural style, pedestrian -oriented elements, and cohesive architectural detailing that are consistent throughout the Project and provide an aesthetic commonly found within traditional neighborhoods.

The Project is designed to enhance the surrounding environment by transforming an area characterized by vacant and underutilized buildings into a well-planned residential and live -work development. The Project will introduce housing and commercial opportunities, amenities, landscaping, and architectural improvements that will contribute to the visual quality and functionality of the area.

C. The landscaping provides a visually pleasing setting for structures on the site.

The proposed development includes significant amounts of landscaped open space around the perimeter and between the buildings on the property, including a community park measuring 13,000 square feet and an 8,000 -square-foot “linear” park. The conceptual planting plan indicates that 208 trees will be planted around the property and as well as shrubs and ground cover. Trees will be planted along the street frontages and on either side of the drive aisles.

D. The design, quality, and location of signs are consistent with the character and scale of the structures to which they are attached and are visually harmonious with surrounding development.

The Project includes limited signage associated with development entrances, internal wayfinding, and the proposed live/work units . The proposal includes eight live/work units that may include signage associated with the approved live/work use. Such signage is expected to be limited in scale and designed to serve wayfinding and identification functions. Any permanent signage will require City approval.

SECTION 7: Tentative Map Findings. Pursuant to MPMC § 20.04.070, the City Council finds as follows:

A. Consistent with the Monterey Park General Plan;

Page 574 of 643 ends

The subdivision is consistent with the Monterey Park General Plan as stated in Section 4 of this Resolution.

B. Consistent with any applicable specific plan or planned development;

The subdivision is not located within any specific plan or planned development .

As discussed in the Zoning Regulation Interpretation, the City Planner considered mixed-use and planned -development concepts reflected in MPMC Chapter 21.15 when evaluating the Project. Accordingly, the absence of a specific plan or planned development does not create an inconsistency with this finding.

C. Consistent with the provisions of the MPMC section 20.04.070; The subdivision is consistent with MPMC Section 20.04.070 because it complies with the provisions and intent of the MPMC as a whole, including the zoning, Site Development Plan, and development standards applicable to the Project, including the interpreted S -P framework discussed in Section 4 of this Resolution.

D. In the interest of public health and safety; and

The subdivision is in the interest of public health and safety in that, the Project is not detrimental to the surrounding land uses as it provides an appropriate visual appearance and contributes to the City’s housing stock. Further, the Project Site will be fully served by all utilities.

E. A necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area.

The Project is a necessary prerequisite to the orderly development of the surrounding area because it facilitates the development of an area currently occupied by underutilized or vacant office buildings and prevents long -term blight conditions. The redevelopment of a section of this area with live/work and residential uses will strengthen the long-term viability of the area by introducing needed housing in a location already served by existing infrastructure, streets, and surrounding urban development.

In addition, the Project advances important housing objectives. The State of California has identified housing production as a critical statewide priority, and the City is required to accommodate its assigned housing allocation through the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (“RHNA”) process. The Housing Element contemplates mixed -use and opportunity-site residential development at residential intensities comparable to the Project and includes policies encouraging housing production and affordable housing . The Project’s location, scale, and residential character are consistent with these objectives and contribute toward the City’s efforts to increase the supply of housing in an appropriate infill location. Accordingly, the Project supports the orderly and plan ned development of the surrounding area while helping the City meet its broader housing obligations and community planning goals.

Page 575 of 643 ends

SECTION 8: Density Bonus Findings. Pursuant to Government Code § 65915 and MPMC Chapter 21.18 (Affordable Housing Incentives – Density Bonus), the City Council finds as follows:

A. Eligibility for Density Bonus Law Entitlements.

1. The Project includes eight affordable dwelling units, representing approximately five percent of the total 159 dwelling units, designated for purchase by very low -income households. Accordingly, the Project qualifies for Density Bonus Law entitlements under Government Code § 65915.

2. The affordable units are integrated within the Project and support applicable HE policies encouraging the production and distribution of affordable housing throughout the City.

3. MPMC Chapter 21.18 requires the City to implement and apply State Density Bonus Law to qualifying residential developments that include affordable housing units.

B. Requested Density Bonus Law Entitlements.

1. The Project does not seek an increase in the number of residential units through a density bonus.

2. The Applicant requests Density Bonus Law entitlements associated with the provision of affordable units, including waivers and application of the parking ratios set forth in Government Code § 65915(p).

C. Parking Ratios Under Government Code § 65915(p).

1. Government Code § 65915(p) establishes maximum vehicular parking ratios that may be required for qualifying Density Bonus developments upon the request of the developer and provides that those statutory parking ratios are inclusive of guest parking.

2. The Applicant requests application of Government Code § 65915(p) to the residential parking requirements applicable to the Project, including residential guest parking, and has submitted a parking analysis concluding that the Project satisfies the parking requirements established by that provision.

3. The Applicant's Density Bonus Law parking analysis, supporting calculations, and related parking materials are included in the Project application materials and administrative record.

D. Basis for Approval.

1. Pursuant to Government Code § 65915, the City must grant qualifying Density Bonus Law entitlements unless one or more statutory grounds for denial can be established.

Page 576 of 643 ends

2. Based upon the application materials, staff report, and administrative record, the City Council finds that substantial evidence does not support any of the statutory grounds for denying the Applicant's requested Density Bonus Law entitlements.

3. Accordingly, the City Council approve s the Applicant's requested Density Bonus Law entitlements, including the parking standards set forth in Government Code § 65915(p).

4. The Applicant's request for application of Government Code § 65915(p), including the supporting parking analysis and calculations, has been considered as part of the administrative record for the Project.

SECTION 9: Approval. Based on the foregoing, the City Council approves Site Development Plan No. 25-131 (“DRB-25-131”), Density Bonus DRB-26-067, and Vesting Tentative Map No. 84935 (“TM-26-03”), subject to the conditions listed in the attached Exhibit “A,” which is incorporated into this Resolution by reference.

SECTION 10: Construction. This Resolution must be broadly construed in order to achieve the purposes stated in this Resolution. It is the City Council’s intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 11: Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any particular fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 12: Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the findings and determinations in this Resolution are based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Council in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 13: Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Council intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 14: Preservation. This Resolution does not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or prelude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this Resolution’s effective date. Any such amended part will remain in full forc e and effect for sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this Resolution.

SECTION 15: Limitations. The City Council’s analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the

Page 577 of 643 ends

major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council’s lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issue s. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 1 6: Electronic Signatures . This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

SECTION 1 7: Effective Date. This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution.

SECTION 18: The City Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Resolution to any other person requesting a copy.

SECTION 19: The Mayor, or presiding officer, is hereby authorized to affix their signature to this Resolution signifying its adoption by the City Council of the City of Monterey Park, and the City Clerk, or her duly appointed deputy, is directed to attest.

ZONING REGULATION INTERPRETATION

SUBJECT: Applicable Development Standards and Residential Intensity for the Olson Mixed- Use/Live-Work Residential Project at 2100 Saturn Street and 601 Potrero Grande Drive MPMC: §§ 21.02.090 and 21.02.120 [Interpretation Authority] Chapter 21.14 [S-P Zone]
§§ 21.15.020 through 21.15.040 [P-D Overlay / Mixed-Use Opportunity Provisions] § 21.15.090 [Parking and Circulation Standards]
Chapter 21.18 [Density Bonus]
Title 20 [Subdivision Standards]
DATE: May 26, 2026
BY: Timothy Hou, AICP, Director of Community Development/City Planner

This City Planner Interpretation is issued under Monterey Park Municipal Code (MPMC) §§

21.02.090 and 21.02.120.

I. PURPOSE OF THIS INTERPRETATION
This Interpretation explains which zoning, General Plan (GP), Housing Element (HE), objective development standards (ODS), and California housing laws apply to the proposed Olson mixed-use/live-work residential project (Project). This Interpretation resolves uncertainty about how residential intensity and development standards apply within the Saturn Park Innovation/Technology (S-P) framework and identifies the standards that govern evaluation of the Project under the MPMC, GP, HE, and applicable state laws, including Government Code § 65589.5 (as amended by SB 330) and the Housing Accountability Act (HAA). It does not approve the Project or any entitlement; amend the GP or MPMC; rezone the property; create new development standards; or set policy for other properties.

II. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Project would develop an approximately eight-acre site with a 159‑unit mixed-use/live- work residential condominium community. This includes live/work units and very low income affordable units, with live/work frontage on Atlas Avenue, clustered residential buildings, internal paseos, parking, pedestrian-oriented open spaces, linear and community parks, and coordinated landscaping and buffering. The Project application identifies an overall project density of approximately 19 dwelling units per acre and makes requests under the Density Bonus Law (DBL) and related state housing protections. The site is 2100 Saturn Street and 601 Potrero Grande Drive (APNs 5265‑025‑055, 056, 058), within the S-P Zone and designated Innovation/Technology in the GP. The application includes a Site Development Plan, a

Vesting Tentative Map, density bonus requests, an affordable housing agreement, and related state housing law considerations.

III. AUTHORITY AND THE AMBIGUITY TO BE RESOLVED
MPMC §§ 21.02.090 and 21.02.120 authorize the City Planner to interpret zoning regulations where ambiguity exists and to set forth in writing the pertinent facts, findings, and interpretations. MPMC § 21.14.040 permits Live/Work Units as a principal use within the S-P Zone.

Here, ambiguity exists as to the Project regarding how residential intensity and development standards apply to a mixed ‑use/live‑work residential condominium project in the S -P Zone because the S-P framework does not establish standalone residential density standards for a project of this type, scale, and configuration. Other regulations in the MPMC, GP, and HE contemplate mixed -use and planned ‑development patterns at residential intensities comparable to the Project, and Chapter 21.15’s Planned Development (P ‑D) overlay including MPMC §§ 21.15.020 through 21.15.040 regarding mixed -use opportunity provisions, further reflect planned -development concepts applicable to coordinated site planning.

MPMC § 21.15.090(E) within Chapter 21.15’s pr operty development standards for Mixed -Use Developments provides coordinated site‑planning and circulation frameworks relevant to the Project.

IV. INTERPRETATION: APPLICABLE OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS A. Residential Intensity Framework
The S-P framework does not establish a standalone dwelling ‑units‑per‑acre (du/ac) standard for this mixed-use/live-work Project.

Instead, the City evaluates residential intensity using integrated zoning, site-design, circulation, and development standards reflected throughout the MPMC, GP, and HE, rather than through a standalone residential dwelling unit per acre dwelling units per acre (“du/ac”), metric applicable to this Project type.

These integrated standards include, among other things, standards in the MPMC, GP, and HE—such as FAR and building envelope controls; setbacks and yard relationships; parking and circulation; open‑space organization; landscaping and buffers; pedestrian orientation; Site Development Plan standards; and coordinated mixed‑use/planned‑development concepts. Collectively, these standards regulate development form, residential intensity, and site organization within the S-P framework.

B. Applicable Comparable Standards
In applying the S-P provisions to this Project, the City Planner will use the following to evaluate residential intensity, coordinated site planning, and mixed‑use organization: Chapter 21.15’s P‑D overlay structure (MPMC §§ 21.15.020–21.15.040) governing mixed‑use opportunities;

Page 608 of 643 ends

City of Monterey Park news is available on the web, by email subscription and via RSS feed at www.montereypark.ca.gov.

MPMC § 21.15.090 governing parking and circulation; along with applicable Site Development Plan and site‑design standards governing circulation, open‑space organization, landscaping, and overall project layout in the MPMC and GP.

C. Housing Element and State Housing Law Context
The HE contemplates mixed‑use and opportunity‑site residential development at intensities comparable to the Project’s proposal, and the DBL recognizes development frameworks regulating residential intensity through standards other than fixed‑density controls. While Saturn Park is not identified within the HE, its future amendment to accommodate the Project is assumed for purposes of this Interpretation.

D. Density Bonus and State Housing Law Overlay
The DBL provides separate statutory benefits—such as concessions, incentives, waivers, reductions, and parking relief—that may apply to the Project. Separately, the City determines that the Project’s proposed residential intensity is consistent with residential‑intensity assumptions in the HE’s mixed‑use and opportunity‑site planning provisions and with related planned‑development concepts in Chapter 21.15. Those HE assumptions, together with the integrated site‑design, circulation, and development controls in the S‑P framework, support the City’s determination that the Project’s proposed residential intensity and site organization are consistent with the interpreted S‑P framework and applicable state housing laws. Consistent with Government Code § 65589.5, this Interpretation identifies objective standards to evaluate the Project’s consistency within the S‑P framework, and it does not eliminate or modify the DBL or other state housing laws or decide any specific density‑bonus entitlements, concessions, incentives, waivers, reductions, or other statutory relief.

V. LIMITATIONS
This Interpretation applies only to the subject Project and its current materials; it does not amend the MPMC or GP, create new development standards, set generally applicable policy for other properties, rezone the property, eliminate required entitlements or state‑law procedures, or supersede otherwise applicable development standards except as required by state law. It clarifies which existing standards in the MPMC, GP, and HE apply to the Project and is issued under MPMC §§ 21.02.090 and 21.02.120.

VI. DETERMINATION
The S‑P framework does not include a standalone residential density standard for this Project type. Instead, it regulates development intensity through integrated zoning, site‑design, circulation, parking, landscaping, buffering, Site Development Plan, and planned‑development controls in the MPMC, GP, and HE. Accordingly, the City will evaluate

residential intensity using applicable S‑P standards and the interpretive guidance in this Interpretation, including Chapter 21.15’s P‑D overlay provisions, parking and circulation standards, Site Development Plan standards, and related integrated development controls that govern project form and coordinated site planning. This Interpretation applies MPMC §§

21.02.090 and 21.02.120 and does not constitute rezoning or the creation of new development standards.

Re: Qualification of the Project on the Property at 601 Potrero Grande Drive, Monterey Park, CA (Tentative Tract #84935) for New CEQA Infill Exemption

Dear Ms. Munoz and Mr. Hou:

On behalf of Olson Urban Housing, LLC (the "Applicant"), this letter demonstrates that the housing development project consisting of 159 dwelling units (the “Project”) at 601 Potrero Grande Drive (the “Project Site”) in Monterey Park (the “City”) qualifies for an exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Public Resources Code (“PRC”) Section 21080.66, as enacted by Assembly Bill 130 (“AB 130”) which became effective July 1, 2025. Thank you for initiating contact with the California Native American tribes to commence the process required under AB 130.

CEQA Exemption Under PRC § 21080.66

The Project and the Project Site meet all conditions required under PRC Section 21080.66 for CEQA exemption, including but not limited to:
• Lot size: The site is less than 20 acres, meeting the requirement of PRC § 21088.66(a)(1)(A). • Urban infill: The site qualifies as within the incorporated City and is infill under at least one criterion (e.g., 75% perimeter urbanized). In fact, the site is 100 percent surrounded by urban uses, therefore qualifying under PRC § 21080.66(a)(2) and (3). • General Plan/Zoning consistency: The Project is being designed to comply with General Plan and zoning requirements, except to the extent permitted by State Density Bonus Law (if needed for this community) , therefore qualifying under PRC § 21080.66(a)(4), inclusive of subsection (C). The City’s General Plan designates the Project Site for Innovation/Technology (I/T), with zoning noted as Saturn Park (S -P). Using the recently approved Mixed -Use category, the existing zoning allows a mixed-use community of 159 dwelling units at the Project Site.

The main concern I received is the potential traffic impact on the surrounding neighborhoods by adding the community traffic to Potrero Grande. This was primarily from Markland neighbors to the south, which is already impacted.

Wing Long
• Concern with traffic signal at Markland / Potrero Grande, south of Atlas (near Sinclair Gas station).
• Currently difficult to make a left turn from Markland onto Potrero Grande, because the light turns too fast.
• Concern that more residents will increase southbound traffic. • I told him I would check with our traffic engineer on the results from Markland.

Andre Loute & his mom
• Criticized the Towncenter traffic study – didn’t identify impacts to surrounding community. • Severe backup on Markland eastbound from 2-5 PM
• Cut through traffic from downtown is an issue.
• Asked for proposed population of the site. There is currently a back-up on Via Campo

Dave Jones
• Supportive of Olson’s proposal, but had some landscape recommendations, based on what grows well in Monterey Park:
o Palo Verde Trees (do well at Costco)
o Brittle Brush (native California shrub – Yellow flower) o Mallow Flowering Bush
o Tall Coyote Bushes (similar to Podocarpus).

Karl Wong
• Would like to see a swimming pool.
• Asked about trash cans – likes that they have a space in the garage and include organics. • Works as an environmental consultant to a waste hauler.

Below are my community meeting notes and attached is the sign in sheet from the meeting. Let me know if you have any changes.

3/28 – Monterey Park Community Open House (10am-1pm)

First attendee – Yang C. Lin (lives on Clover)
• Yang tried to get other members of his community to the meeting, but no others attended. • He was accepting of Olson’s propose mixed-use community, but said a few of his elderly neighbors did not want to see new housing in Saturn Park. • There is some concern from neighbors over affordable housing, particularly Section 8-type housing.
• Edison substation – need to disclose to buyers.

Tammy Sam – Planning Commission Chair
• Hot summers in Monterey Park – Multiple days with 100+ temperatures. • Recommended incorporating a splash pad area for small children. • Shading – recommended looking into shade sails above open space. • Recommended accordion wall room dividers inside the cabana for hosting multiple events at once.
• Tammy suggested looking at Irvine Spectrum for kid features – water element for small children.
• Fruit trees are nice where possible (oranges, lemons, etc.) o She is involved in fallen fruit project, and makes them into preserves. • Montebello Schools
o Need to research if our buyers can transfer
o Monterey Park schools have a Chinese immersion program that’s not offered in Montebello. This could be the basis for transfer.

Nice Couple from Encanto Walk (no names as they didn’t sign in on the sheet. • Walkability is key.
• Higher density would be better.
• A pool would be nice, since it’s a hot area.
• Potrero is being upgraded with protected bike lanes.
• Can Portrero frontage be activated more? . Our site engages with Potrero as we approach Atlas.
• Suggested we look at Park and Paseo in Santa Ana (off 55 freeway) x Redhill / Macarthur area.
• Bike design details:
o Ask Ziad Mazboudi for the Potrero Grande improvement plans showing the design of the protected bike lanes and public parking spaces.
o Bike parking and storage is important.
o Those using the bike lane can stop and lock up their bikes to visit the live work. o Recommended upside down “U” treatment for bike locks. o Protected bike lanes boost retail
