ear Commissioner Delgado and members of the Design Commission, ^ly husband and I are proud home owners in East Pasadena since 1977. We build our home from an empty lot. I loved "The old idies" appeal to the city of Pasadena with its one to two story residential homes and quiet neighborhood. lut, since 2012 there has been a huge influx of apartment buildings. But Contrary to the impression that we are in a lack of ental spaces and there is a lack of housing crisis! We have ample apartments for rent in and around Pasadena. Ample. For nstance, I have a small 3 unit apartment that has been vacant for more than six months. Pasadena now has too many for rent ;igns. Also, Pasadena is getting too congested with all the apartments and their residents.'Imagine our shock at the 600 N Rosemead project, which is set to be built right in our neighborhood. A huge, ugly monstrosity 3f a building that violates the character and zoning requirements of the surrounding area.Residents have been slow to react to projects like 600 N Rosemead and others along Colorado Blvd. Most residents were left uninformed by the city about the project at the time of its application by Elyssian Housing, which occurred in October 2025, until mid-February 2026. That was after the Design Commission had already issued an initial staff report, absent any input from current residents.

We protest this secrecy and the city's cooperationThe project is part of a state-wide push via laws such as AB130, AB1763, AB2097, AB2553 and the forthcoming SB79 to flood single-family neighborhoods with high-density, low-quality housing, predominantly reserved for "extreme low income" tenants, as well as for the rising homeless population.

The 600 N Rosemead project atone will pump 133 units (out of over 9,000 planned for Pasadena by 2029) into a 5 story building and repurposed office building that are architecturally out of character with the surrounding residential buildings, and which can only be built with over 80 concessions through the State Housing Density Bonus law. This is how the building is allowed to exceed the 3-story maximum height limit, provide insufficient parking to its units, and claim that it provides open space for children to play, when the play area is, in fact, fully enclosed with no direct sunlight. Shockingly, the building has been consistently passed along by a Design Commission scared to challenge the authoritarian push from Sacramento to transform our community for the worse.

Members of the city council and Design Commission have argued in multiple meetings that their hands are simply tied by the bevy of laws issued out of Sacramento. They say that if they do not pass such projects, the state will institute fines, legal action, and even remove the city's authority to weigh in on new projects. But what good is our city leadership if they forfeit the fight from the start? Especially when you consider that of any projects applying for State Housing Density Bonus concessions, the 600 N Rosemead project has the weakest claim and can be easily rejected outright by either the Design Commission or City Council.

The project relies on two false claims that it is within a half-mile proximity to major transit stops as defined by state law that would qualify it to claim Density Bonus concessions:
the first case, the applicant argues that the bus stop at Foothill and Rosemead qualifies as a Major Transit Stop under GC 5915(o)(3), and that the stop is within 1/2 mile of the project parcel. In this case, the measurement is done using a straight- e from any point on the parcel occupied by the bus stop to any point on the project parcel. Whether the project is within itance is a moot point however, because the stop does not meet the GC §65915(o)(3) definition of a Major Transit Stop: it does it have two lines running at peak hour intervals of 20 minutes or less. the second case, the applicant argues that its project is within 1/2 mile of the bus stop at Foothill and Sierra Madre Villa, which is been labeled by the Transit Authority as part of a Major Transit Corridor. However, in such a case the relevant law is PRC '1155, which has a stricter criteria for measuring the distance. In this case, no more than 25% of the project parcel area, and no ore than 10% of the residential units (or 100 units, whichever is less) can be further than 1/2 mile from the stop. The project Its well outside this requirement. No matter how one slices it, the project does not qualify for exemptions from the city's jthority to enforce its zoning regulations to their fullest. am disheartened by the Design Commission's staff recommendation to reject these points. These are the letter of the law. By fhat power of law do you choose to ignore it in favor of the applicant, which you would never do for any normal developer? t/hile the project is objectively unqualified to receive the concessions it needs to be profitable for the applicant, I certainly nderstand the scale of activism by groups like the YIMBY movement at the state level and Abundant Housing Pasadena at the seal level to force these buildings through. Such activists have argued that projects like 600 N Rosemead are necessary to fight ising unaffordability. However, with the exception of these activists, it is hard to find any resident who supports this initiative. It's 10 wonder, given the track record of these projects in other cities, including Los Angeles, which absolutely refute their claims hat it will benefit our city."
\\ex Jimenez, a renter who lives a mere 400 feet from the project, says and I agree; This project will not make rents affordable or ielp job-holding, productive people get a leg up in our city. In fact, because the project must be 100% Affordable to even break ground, and has already earmarked a significant portion of its units to house homeless individuals, it will directly exclude the najority of potential renters in favor of those on subsidized living programs. This will only distort the rental market by gobbling jp real estate parcels which could otherwise have supported additional market-rate units that would actually address housing supply shortages and reduce real rental prices.

It seems to me that The Design Commission and City Council have turned a deaf ear to the opposition rising from the neighborhood. They, our governing force, placed by the people for the people are in cooperation with Elysian housing to ignore and are override the neighborhood And residents' needs and inputs.that is an unhealthy and dangerous condition between the city and it's constituents!
"We must mention again the impact this substandard housing project will have on the children who may ultimately be living there. If residents will depend on public transportation, one wonders how children will get to school. There are no schools within walking distance, and no school bus routes run past or near 600 N Rosemead. Or is this another case where the parents will quite miraculously have a car of their own? We can't help but doubt the intentions of these pro- advocates when they claim these projects benefit the public, considering their disregard for the welfare of children. Will the Design Commission and City Council really sign their names to a project that raises children in such terrible circumstances? Activists from Abundant Housing Pasadena state that when they think of Pasadena, they envision the Rose Parade, not parking, traffic, or trash on the streets, as if these are laughable concerns. Well of course that's the case, becaube Pasadena has historically rejected policies popular in Los Angeles. However, if these projects are approved, soon they will be all anyone thinks about when looking at our once-great city. This is the city's chance to continue a tradition of prudent decision-making. The Design Commission and City Council must step up on behalf of its residents and say no to these low-quality, market-distorting projects that will irrevocably tarnish our city, starting with the project at 600 N Rosemead".

RE: Affordable Housing 600 North Rosemead Blvd
Dear Council Member, I am writing in support of approving the affordable housing development at 600 NORTH ROSEMEAD BLVD which will bring a total of 133 affordable housing units to east Pasadena, We desperately need this affordable housing because we are stilt experiencing an affordable housing crisis. More than 45% of Pasadena renters are considered cost-burdened, spending over 30% of their income on housing. The city's median home price exceeds $1 million, making homeownership unattainable for many residents, The Point In Time homeless count continues to show over 500 unhoused individuals in Pasadena, while the Annual Count shows over 1,000 individuals to be experiencing homelessness, with about a quarter of them experiencing homelessness for the first time. East Pasadena has almost no affordable housing. Almost all affordable housing is in the western part of the city, This proposal wilt bring 133 units of affordable housing to an area that has not had it. The history of housing in the U.S,, Including Pasadena, has been one of racial and economic segregation, Segregation by class and race has made us a weak and divided society. We need to structure our city in a way that integrates our population and helps us to become a strong and united community, Furthermore, the state Policy of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing obligates the city to take meaningful actions that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities. Denying affordable housing in an area of the city that has had virtually no affordable housing would almost certainly be viewed by the courts as an action that is inconsistent with this obligation. Many of the opponents of this development are saying that the residents will park in the Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood, However; many of the tow income people who choose to live in this building will likely not own cars. Furthermore, to park on the street will require the residents to get overnight parking permits from the city. These permits will require them to park within 500 feet of the building, The Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood is more than 500 feet away and there is plenty of parking along Rosemead Blvd, We need to move toward being a community that makes car-free living possible. Becoming a city that makes car-free living possible improves the quality of life for everyone by drastically reducing air pollution, reducing noise pollution, creating safer streets, freeing up space for green areas and community interaction, promoting active, healthier lifestyles through walking and cycling, reducing traffic stress, and fostering a stronger sense of community connection.

East Pasadena has almost no affordable housing. Almost all affordable housing is in the western part of the city. This proposal will bring 133 units of affordable housing to an area that has not had it, The history of housing in the U.S,, including Pasadena, has been one of racial and economic segregation. Segregation by class and race has made us a weak and divided society. We need to structure our city in a way that integrates our population and helps us to become a strong and united community,
Furthermore, the state Policy of Affirmatively "Furthering Fair Housing obliptes the city to take meaningful actions that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities, Denying affordable housing in an area of the city that has had virtually no affordable housing would almost certainly be viewed by the courtsas an action that is inconsistent with this obligation.

Many of the opponents of this development are saying that the residents will park in the Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood, However, many of the low income people who choose to live in this building will likely not own cars. Furthermore, to park on the street will require the residents to get overnight parking permits from the city, These permits will require them to park within 500 feet of the building. The Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood is more than 500 feet away and there is plenty of parking along Rosemead Blvd, We need to move toward being a community that makes car-free living possible.

RE: Affordable Housing 600 North Rosemead Blvd
Dear Council Member,I am writing in support of approving the affordable housing development at 600 NORTH ROSEMEAD BLVD which will bring a total of 133 affordable housing units to east Pasadena,We desperately need this affordable housing because we are still experiencing an affordable housing crisis. More than 45% of Pasadena renters are considered cost-burdened, spending over 30% of their income on housing, The city's median home price exceeds $1 million, making homeownership unattainable for many residents. The Point In Time homeless count continues to show over 500 unhoused individuals in Pasadena, while the Annual Count shows over 1,000 individuals to be experiencing homelessness, with about a quarter of them experiencing homelessness for the first time,
East Pasadena has almost no affordable housing. Almost all affordable housing is in the western part of the city. This proposal will bring 133 units of affordable housing to an area that has not had it. The history of housingin the U.S., including Pasadena, has been one of racial and economic segregation. Segregation by class and racehas made us a weak and divided society. We need to structure our city in a way that integrates our population and helps us to become a strong and united community.

RE: Affordable Housing 600 North Rosemead Blvd
Dear Mayor,I am writing in support of approving the affordable housing development at 600 NORTH ROSEMEAD BLVD which will bring a total of 133 affordable housing units to east Pasadena,We desperately need this affordable housing because we are still experiencing an affordable housing crisis, More than 45% of Pasadena renters are considered cost-burdened, spending over 30% of their income onhousing. The city's median home price exceeds $1 million, making homeownership unattainable for many residents. The Point In Time homeless count continues to show over 500 unhoused individuals in Pasadena, while the Annual Count shows over 1,000 individuals to be experiencing homelessness, with about a quarter ofthem experiencing homelessness for the first time, East Pasadena has almost no affordable housing. Almost all affordable housing is in the western part of thecity. This proposal will bring 133 units of affordable housing to an area that has not had It. The history of housing in the U.S,, including Pasadena, has been one of racial and economic segregation, Segregation by class and race has made us a weak and divided society. We need to structure our city in a way that integrates our populationand helps us to become a strong and united community.

These permits will require them to park within 500 feet of the building. The Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood is more than 500 feet away and there Is plenty of parking along Rosemead Blvd, We need to move toward being a community that makes car-free living possible. Becoming a city that makes car-free living possible improves the quality of life for everyone by drastically reducing air pollution, reducingnoise pollution, creating safer streets, freeing up space for green areas and community Interaction, promoting active, healthier lifestyles through walking and cycling, reducing traffic stress, and fostering a stronger sense ofcommunity connection, ^icnetr^me & Address) ^^6L| ^ 6^tf1"6

RE: Affordable Housing 600 North Rosemead Blvd
Dear Mayor,
I am writing in support of approving the affordable housing development at 600 NORTH ROSEMEAD BLVD which will bring a total of 133 affordable housing units to east Pasadena.We desperately need this affordable housing because we are still experiencing an affordable housing crisis, More than 45% of Pasadena renters are considered cost-burdened, spending over 30% of their income onhousing. The city's median home price exceeds $1 million, making homeownership unattainable for manyresidents. The Point In Time homeless count continues to show over 500 unhoused individuals in Pasadena, while the Annual Count shows over 1,000 individuals to be experiencing homelessness, with about a quarter of them experiencing homelessness for the first time.

These permits will require them to park within 500 feet of the building. The Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood is more than 500 feet away and there is plenty of parking along Rosemead Blvd.

RE: Affordable Housing 600 North Rosemead Blvd
Dear Mayor;
I am writing in support of approving the affordable housing development at 600 NORTH ROSEMEAD BLVD whichwill bring a total of 133 affordable housing units to east Pasadena.

We desperately need this affordable housing because we are still experiencing an affordable housing crisis.

East Pasadena has almost no affordable housing. Almost all affordable housing is in the western part of the city. This proposal will bring 133 units of affordable housing to an area that has not had it. The history of housing in the U.S., including Pasadena, has been one of racial and economic segregation. Segregation by class and racehas made us a weak and divided society. We need to structure our city in a way that integrates our populationand helps us to become a strong and united community, Furthermore, the state Policy of Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing obligates the city to take meaningful actions that overcome patterns of segregation and foster inclusive communities. Denying affordable housing in an area of the city that has had virtually no affordable housing would almost certainly be viewed by the courts as an action that is inconsistent with this obligation.Many of the opponents of this development are saying that the residents will park in the Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood, However, many of the low income people who choose to live in this building will likely not owncars. Furthermore, to park on the street will require the residents to get overnight parking permits from the city. These permits will require them to park within 500 feet of the building. The Lower Hastings Ranch neighborhood is more than 500 feet away and there is plenty of parking along Rosemead Blvd,We need to move toward being a community that makes car-free living possible. Becoming a city that makes car-free living possible improves the quality of life for everyone by drastically reducing air pollution, reducing noise pollution, creating safer streets, freeing up space for green areas and community interaction, promotingactive, healthier lifestyles through walking and cycling, reducing traffic stress, and fostering a stronger sense of community connection.Sincerely.

Honorable Mayor Victor Gordo and Members of the Pasadena City CouncilCity of Pasadena 100 N.Garfield Avenue
Pasadena, CA 91101
Re: Agenda Item No. 11 —Appeal of Design Commission Approval of 600 N. Rosemead Boulevard (DHP2026-00073) — DENY THE APPEAL, UPHOLD THE APPROVAL
Dear Mayor Gordo and Councilmembers:The Housing Action Coalition (HAC) writes in strong support of the Rosemead Family Apartments at600 N. Rosemead Boulevard and urges the Council to deny the appeal filed by the Lower Hastings RanchAssociation.HAC is a nonprofit advocacy organization with more than 1 75 member organizations spanningCalifornia's housing ecosystem — affordable and market-rate developers, architects, engineers, land-use attorneys, labor partners, and civic allies — working to address the state's housing shortage. We write to you today because two things about this project are clear: it is exactly the kind of housing Pasadena says itwants, and the appeal before you is not a legitimate design dispute. It is an attempt to use the design review process to relitigate state housing law that the Council has no authority to override.

This is the kind of housing Pasadena needs — and has committed to building.

The Rosemead Family Apartments will deliver 133 homes on an underutilized 2.15-acre site in EastPasadena, with 131 of those units deed-restricted as affordable for lower-income households. Weunderstand the project will also give preference to households displaced by the Eaton Fire — familieswho lost not only their homes but, in many cases, the only neighborhood they had ever lived in.The site also delivers everything Pasadena's own General Plan asks for from East Pasadena. The LandUse Element identifies this area as a "semi-urban environment with higher-density mixed-usedevelopments" and directs the City to "concentrate development" near the Sierra Madre Villa A Linestation. The project is within a half-mile of two major transit stops, walking distance to retail and jobs,and adaptively reuses an existing office building rather than displacing existing residents.Pasadena also has a state-certified Housing Element that commits the City to facilitating the production of affordable housing on sites exactly like this one. Approving 131 affordable homes near transit with nodisplacement of residents and full compliance with the City's objective standards is the city's HousingElement working as designed.

The appeal is not a design dispute. It is an attempt to override state law.

Apart from the evident merit of the project, the appeal does not actually challenge elements within the legal purview of design review. Instead, it takes issue with features of the project that exist because statelaw requires the City to allow them:

Height. The appellant argues the building is too tail. Under State Density Bonus Law, a 100%affordable project within a half-mile of a major transit stop is entitled to three additional storiesabove the base height limit — here, up to 71 feet. The project is 68 feet. It is under what the lawallows.Density. The appellant disputes the awarding of the density bonus. SDBL permits unlimiteddensity for qualifying 100% affordable projects near transit. The project's 27.9% density bonusover the base zoning is well within what the statute authorizes, and the staff report notes theproject is within a half-mile of not one but two major transit stops.

Parking and concessions. SDBL eliminates minimum parking for qualifying projects with unobstructed access to a major transit stop, and entitles the applicant to up to five concessions from local development standards. The applicant is actually providing 55 parking spaces voluntarily when their obligation is none and is requesting concessions allowed by state law.

None of this is discretionary on the City's part.

CEQA. The appellant argues the Class 32 infill exemption is improper because the noise studydid not adequately address rooftop HVAC. Staff disagrees. The consultant even reanalyzed themost conservative scenario — all 150 units operating simultaneously at the minimum setback —and concluded the project complies with the City's 5 dBA ambient threshold at every propertyline. There is no substantial evidence of a significant effect, which is the legal standard.

All in all. these are not design objections. They are objections to state housing law. And the City Council does not have the authority to deny a protect, or impose project-level modifications, because neighborsdisagree with what Sacramento has decided.The legal and financial exposure of denial is real and substantial.The City Council should make this decision with a clear understanding of what is at stake if the appeal isupheld:

Housing Accountability Act violations carry mandatory penalties. Denying or conditioning acode-compliant affordable housing project on grounds not permitted by the HAA exposes theCity to attorney's fees and to court-ordered approval. In recent cases, courts have imposed finesstarting at $10,000 per unit denied and have ordered cities to approve projects over councilobjection. For a 131-unit project, the potential fine exposure alone is in the millions of dollars.HCD enforcement and loss of state housing funds. The Department of Housing and Community Development's Housing Accountability Unit actively investigates SDBL and HAAviolations. Findings can trigger referrals to the Attorney General and jeopardize the City'seligibility for state housing, infrastructure, and transportation funds, as well as Housing Elementcompliance.Housing Element decertification and the Builder's Remedy. IfHCD decertifies Pasadena'sHousing Element as a result of this kind of violation, the Builder's Remedy applies — meaning any project that includes at least 20% lower-income or 100% moderate-income units can be approved regardless of the City's zoning code, height limits, or general plan. The Council's abilityto shape what gets built in Pasadena depends on staying in compliance. Upholding this appeal puts that compliance at risk.

Recommendation
HAC respectfully urges the Council to deny the appeal and approve the Consolidated Design Review, Private Tree Removal, and Density Bonus applications.This is a 100% affordable, transit-adjacent infill project on an underutilized commercial site, prioritizingfamilies displaced by a historic wildfire, in an area Pasadena's own General Plan has long designated for exactly this kind of development. There is no valid reason to delay or deny these desperately needed newhomes — and real legal consequences should the city not approve them tonight.Thank you for your consideration.Jesse Zwick Southern California DirectorHousing Action Coalition
