HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION CASE NO.: SP 08-01 MOD).
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park does hereby find,
determine, and declare as follows:
(a) That an application ("Application") for a modification to the
existing Specific Plan (SP 08-01) was submitted on behalf of the owner of
certain real property, located at 3427-3441 Baldwin Park Blvd. in the City
of Baldwin Park (Assessor's Parcel Number 8552-022-116), described
more particularly in the Application on file with the City Planner; and
(b) That the Application was sought to allow the approval
changes in language contained in the specific plan which prohibited a
vehicular gate along Foster Avenue; and
(c) That a duly noticed public hearing was held on said
Application by the City Council, and based upon evidence presented
including applicable staff reports and each member of the City Council
being familiar with the property, it was determined that the facts as
required by the Baldwin Park Municipal Code for the granting of such
Application are present and that the modifications to the specific plan
should be approved subject to the conditions of approval contained
herein; and
SECTION 2. The modification of the language in the Specific Plan (SP 08-01)
regarding the installation of a retractable vehicular gate is Categorically Exempt from
the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Article 19, Section 15301, Existing
Facilities, no further review is required.
SECTION 3. The City Council does hereby adopt the following Findings of Fact
applicable to Specific Plans:
Resolution 2017-194

(a) The specific plan is consistent with and provides for the
orderly, systematic and specific implementation of the General Plan.
The specific plan has already been `built out'. The development as
facilitated by the Specific Plan includes fifty-two (52) attached, 3-story,
multi-family residential structures, each between 3-4 bedrooms and 3-3.5
bathrooms having between 1,471 and 1,905 square feet of floor area.
Each unit has a 2-car attached garage and there are a total of 26 guest
parking spaces throughout the complex. Each unit has private open
space areas totaling not less than 100 s.f. The units facing Baldwin Park
Boulevard have a direct pedestrian-oriented environment through a
continuous street-frontage, pedestrian connections and ground-floor
design features that provide a visual link to the street and sidewalk. There
is one vehicular entrance to the property on Foster Avenue as well as 3
gated pedestrian entrances from both Baldwin park Boulevard and Foster
Avenue.
The addition of the vehicular gate along Foster Avenue will not have an
impact upon the General Plan and will provide the residents with a sense
of safety with a more controlled community.
(b) The land use and development regulations within the
specific plan are comparable in breadth and depth to regulations
contained in this chapter.
The Development regulations contained in the specific plan have not
changed and are comparable to the regulations contained in the City's
Zoning Code. The only exception is the addition of language which allows
for the placement of a mechanical vehicular gate at the vehicular entrance
on Foster Avenue. Said gate is proposed to be setback from the property
line approximately twenty (20) feet, which is a consistent with or a deeper
setback when compared with other existing vehicular gates to multi-family
projects within the surrounding area.
(c) The specific plan will not adversely affect the public health
and safety or result in incompatible land uses.
The deletion of language contained in the specific plan which would
enable the installation of a vehicular entry gate at the only vehicular
entrance along Foster Avenue would not adversely affect the public health
and safety as the proposed vehicular gate has been reviewed and vetted
and will be subject to final approval by the Los Angeles County Fire
Department prior to obtaining permits from the City. Additionally,
installation of the vehicular gate will not result in incompatible land uses
as there are several adjacent and nearby properties with vehicular gates
which limit ingress and egress to their properties.

(d) The specific plan provides the framework to phase and pace
growth within the specific plan area so as to ensure completion of all
necessary public facilities concurrently with completion of development
entailed in the specific plan.
As mentioned prior, the Specific Plan is `built out' at this time with fifty-two
(52) attached dwelling units, open spaces, and guest parking. All
necessary public improvements as required by the City's Public Works
Department were installed and completed prior to the completion of the
development.
(e) The specific plan identifies adequate financing mechanisms
for the infrastructure and public facilities required to support the
development.
There are no financing mechanisms noted in the specific plan and as
mentioned above the Specific Plan is already `built out' with all of the units
since about 2012.
SECTION 4. The Application, as herein above described below, and the same is
hereby approved subject to the following conditions:
(a) That the language contained in the Specific Plan shall be
modified to allow a retractable sliding vehicular ingress/egress gate along
Foster Avenue as shown in Attachment #1 to the staff report dated June
