DECISION AND FINDINGS OF FACT BY DIRECTOR OF
DEVELOPMENT AND NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES OF THE CITY
OF POMONA, CALIFORNIA. APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PLAN
REVIEW 1873-2015 FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF 31 DETACHED
SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCES ON A 2.97 ACRE LOT ON
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2160 SOUTH GAREY AVENUE
The applicant, Marc Homes, LLC, has filed an application for Development Plan
Review (DPR 1872-2015) and Tentative Tract Map (TTM 14-008) for the development of 31
detached single-family residences on a 2.97 acres lot on property located at 2160 South Garey
Avenue;
The Planning Commission approved Tentative Tract Map (TTM 14-008) on May 13,
2015 for the subdivision of 31 numbered lots and two lettered lots associated with the
proposed development;
The proposed development includes requests for deviations from the development
standards of the Pomona Corridors Specific Plan (P'CSP) to allow reductions in the minimum
required front yard, rear yard, and building massing ratio requirements;
The 31-unit detached, single-family residential development will revitalize an existing
underused site which sits partially developed with two dwellings and accessory structures with
a development that responds to diverse community needs in terms of housing types, costs and
location, emphasizing locations near services and transit that promote walkability;
The subject site is currently located within the PCSP, in the "Neighborhood Parkway
Segment", and designated"Urban Neighborhood" by the City's General Plan;
The Development and Neighborhood Services Director held a hearing on rune 10,
2015, concerning the requested Development Plan Review application;
The Development and Neighborhood Services Director has carefully considered all
pertinent testimony offered in the case as presented at the hearing;
The Development and Neighborhood Services Director, exercising independent
judgment, has determined that, pursuant to the Guidelines for Implementation of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), this action as defined is Categorically Exempt under
Section 15332, Class 32 (Infill Development Projects) from further environmental review in
that the proposed project involves the development of a 31-unit residential development on
property that is less than five-acres in size, located within an urbanized area that can adequately
be served by all required utilities and public services; and
The Development and Neighborhood Services Director of the City of Pomona,
California APPROVES the proposed project and makes the following findings of fact:
The project is consistent with the City's General Plan and all applicable requirements of
the City Code.
The City of Pomona General Plan designates the property located at 2160 South Garey Avenue
as a Place Type of "Urban Neighborhood". Urban Neighborhoods are defined as moderately
intense clusters of development that contain a mix of uses. The specific character of any
individual urban neighborhood will build upon the existing development within or adjacent to it.
Smaller clusters that are currently housing-only and surrounded by single-family homes will
continue to be characterized by lower density residential development. Other mixed use clusters
that may have arisen from later industrial and commercial uses added to rezoned older
residential uses will gradually see infill development of housing, office, and lodging in buildings
with residentially compatible physical characteristics to help strengthen and stabilize a more
consistent and valuable mixed-use neighborhood environment.
The project will not be detrimental to the general welfare of persons working or residing in
the vicinity nor detrimental to the value of the property and improvements in the
neighborhood.
The project to construct 31 detached, single-family residential dwellings for ownership is
proposed for a 2.9 7-acre,parcel that has been underutilized in that it has sat partially developed
with two dwellings and accessory structures, and currently is contributing to substandard
conditions for the surrounding neighborhood A substantial financial investment to create a high
quality, well designed residences will improve property values and the visual aesthetics in the
neighborhood. The project site is adequately separated from the nearest adjacent residential
developments in that the required setbacks, deviated by 20%as allowed by the Development and
Neighborhood Services Director, provide an adequate buffer from any potential impacts. The
project includes amenities such as swimming recreation facilities, and private yards to
accommodate residents with recreational opportunities that will not contribute and
unnecessarily strain the existing community and neighborhood park facilities by the nominal
increase in population size because the PCSP requires the developer to contribute a fee to the
City for the construction of a special open space for the immediate area. The project is not
anticipated to generate traffic, demand for parking, or other impacts detrimental to surrounding
properties as these issues were analyzed as part of the project and was found to be consistent
with the subject property's specific plan designation.
The project will not adversely affect the Circulation Plan of the Pomona Corridors Specific
Plan.
The subject parcel is located with frontage along South Garey Avenue and provides primary
vehicular and pedestrian access from South Garey Avenue. A traffic study was provided for the
proposed project, which analyzed the proposed project's impact to the existing circulation
patterns along local roadways, The study determined that the proposed project would not
adversely impact area intersections and driveways with intersections to continue operating at a
Satisfactory Level of Service (LOS), The City of Pomona Public Works Department has
reviewed and concurred with the findings of the traffic study. As such, the proposed project is
consistent with the recommendations in the Specific Plan in that the City should remain aware of
the impacts of this new traffic on neighborhood streets and work to take measures to keep traffic
calmed and consistent with the neighborhood context.
The project complies with the applicable provisions of the Pomona Corridors Specific Plan
and other applicable regulations.
The project design has been reviewed and determined to meet all applicable provisions of the
Pomona Corridors Specific Plan and other applicable regulations with exception of the
requested deviations from the development standards to allow reductions in the minimum
required front and rear setbacks and building massing ratios. The Neighborhood and
Development Services Director has reviewed and approved the requested deviations and
determined them to be adequate for the proposed land use.
The Request for Deviation is consistent with the intent of the Specific Plan and otherwise
meets the required findings, of a Development Plan Review.
The granting of Request for Deviation for reductions in the minimum required front and rear
setbacks will result in greater benefits from the project in that a three and a hatfjbot reduction
along the front yard setback and a four foot reduction from the rear yard setback affords the
units the opportunity to provide sufficient floor area to appropriately accommodate a typical
sizedfamily without having to increase the height of the buildings along the front and rear of the
property so the height of the proposed residences will not adversely impact the surrounding
existing residential dwellings. As such, a desirable living environment would be promoted with a
design that allows additional architectural enhancements along all buildingfaqades, and greater
pedestrian mobility within the development, Furthermore, the deviation requested for the
required building massing ratio on Spanish and Tuscan styled homes (elevation 2A) along Garey
Avenue allows consistency with the proposed architecture of those homes.
Based upon the above findings, the Development and Neighborhood Services Director
hereby approves Development Plan Review 1873-2015 subject to compliance with all
applicable laws and ordinances of the City as well as the addition of the following conditions,
violations of which (or failure to complete any of which) shall constitute grounds for
