or invalid, the remainder of the entirety of this resolution shall not be affected and shall continue in
full force and effect. To this end, the provisions of this resolution are severable.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Section 2.0.5.A.(4) of the PCSP, the Development and
Neighborhood Services Director must make findings in order to approve Development Plan
Review (DPR 3391-2015). Based on consideration of the whole record before it, including but
not limited to, public testimony received at the public hearing on this matter, and evidence made
part of the public record, the Director hereby finds as follows:
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 subject site as a "Neighborhood Edge" Place
Type. "Neighborhood Edge" is defined edge properties that are adjacent to City neighborhoods
that will accommodate larger scale development that is more suitable for wider, more heavily
trafficked roadways and will function as buffers for residential neighborhoods behind them. These
areas anticipate a reasonable amount of infill development emphasizing streetscape improvements
to add visual appeal and value, develop continuity along the street edge, and buffering and
compatibility The residential development project is consistent with the City's General Plan
because it will stabilize and strengthen the neighborhood character of the surrounding area with an
infill project that is compatible with existing surrounding residential uses and provides an
appropriate transition to nearby single-family residences. Furthermore, with the exception of the
development concessions, the project is consistent with the standards and design guidelines of the
Pomona Zoning Ordinance (PZO) and PCSP in terms of setbacks, building height, onsite parking,
use types, and overall architectural design.
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 residential development 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 as the project will substantially comply with all development and design
standards of the Midway Segment of the PCSP. The project is not anticipated to generate noise,
traffic, and lighting impacts detrimental to residents, occupants, and properties within the
surrounding area and inconsistent with the subject property's zoning.
The project will not adversely affect the Circulation Plan of the Corridors Specific Plan.
The subject parcel is located with frontage along W. Mission Boulevard. The Traffic and
Transportation Division of the City of Pomona Public Works Department has reviewed both off-
site and on-site circulation patterns and have not expressed concern with the project's overall
proposed vehicular mobility. The residential development project will eliminate access from W.
Mission Boulevard and take primary access from Buena Vista Avenue, thereby minimizing
interruptions in vehicular traffic along Mission Boulevard. The project will allow pedestrian
access along both adjacent right-of-ways in compliance with the publically accessible open space
requirements set forth within the PCSP.
The project complies with the applicable provisions of the Pomona Corridors Specific Plan and
other applicable regulations.
The multi-family residential development project has been thoroughly reviewed and meets all
applicable provisions of the PCSP and other applicable regulations.
SECTION 4. Based upon the above findings, the Development and Neighborhood
Services Director hereby approves Development Plan Review (DPR 3391-2015) 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
