Lisa Brownfield from MIG/Hogle-Ireland, Inc. will be presenting the staff report; Savannah Richards Introduce Item
from MIG/Hogle-Ireland, Inc. will be presenting the Environmental Impact Report; followed by the
applicant, who will make a presentation to the Council.
Contract Planner Lisa Brownfield, MIG/Ilogle-Ireland, Inc. gave an overview of the project and Lisa Brownfield
surrounding area stating that the Dhammakaya International Meditation Center (DIMC) has applied Presentation
for the preparation of a Specific Plan and corresponding Environmental Impact Report for a proposed
project consisting of the construction and operation of a new mediation building and support
infrastructure, replacement of existing dormitories with new residential structures and the installation
of landscaping. Standard Conditions of Approval will be applied to the Project along with the Rose
Garden/Pool Condition. She further stated that there will be no fiscal impact to the City as the DIMC

Peter Carlson, DIMC Representative presented the Council with the same presentation that was made P. Carlson
to the Planning Commission. The McNeil Mansion, which is a historical structure, is located on the Presentation
property and is for dining, cooking, staff and meditation. The lawn is used for the larger events such
as Vesak Day, Kathina, New Year's Day, and Maka. The DIMC would like to move the activity
center to allow the mansion and dormitories to be the quiet area and they would like to construct a new
mediation hall which would be large enough to accommodate the existing events. He described the
proposed layout of the new mediation hall which they would like to be architecturally compatible with
the McNeil house. He also discussed the landscape plan, stating that a detention basin will be added.
The pool on the property was decommissioned in 1996 and is currently being used as a rose garden.
He proposed three alternatives for the pool: 1) Remove the pool, build a workshop building in its
place, place an outline of the pool on the roof of the workshop with a plaque and display of the pool
history on the building and construct a new reflecting pool in front of the MacNeil Mansion with
'existing balustrade border and plaque/display of history of the pool. 2) Eliminate the workshop
building from the plan, alter the Mediation Hall building, construct a retaining wall below the existing
balustrade wall, retain the pool and rose garden in place and limit access to the location. 3) Remove
the pool and replace with a workshop building with an outline of the pool on the roof, replace
balustrade around the perimeter of the roof of the workshop, place a plaque and display of the pool
history in the meditation garden and create a meditation garden on the roof of the workshop building.
Mayor Rocha declared the Hearing open; City Clerk Cornejo read the affidavit of proof of publication Open Hearing
published on August 24, 2015, in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
Peter Carlson, DIMC Representative answered questions posed by Councilmember Macias stating that
rehabbing the building is infeasible as the building does not meet current seismic codes, there are also
grade conflicts with the current dormitory structures as well as the need to upgrade the electricity and
plumbing. Section 5.4.1 of the Specific Plan restricts the maximum number of event participants and
should they want to expand the number of participants, a Specific Plan amendment would need to be
brought back to the City. Regarding the intensity of the use, there are two meditation areas in the
building, one is interior and one exterior and they will not be used simultaneously. The EIR
mentioned a reduced density alternative which is a 67% reduction in the current proposed size of the
structure; the alternative is not feasible but the analysis was required under CEQA.
Community Development Director Kurt Christiansen responded to a question posed by
Councilmember Macias stating that the project does not contribute to the CFD as it is an existing
project retaining its own water. In response to questions posed by Mayor Rocha, he stated that as of
1 now the number of paved parking spaces is limited and most of the parking is on dirt so it is difficult
to say how many current parking spaces there are. There is a condition in the Specific Plan and
Conditions of Approval that will require them to provide a shuttle service between the two Gold Line
stations for those that want to take public transportation to their events. In response to a question
posed by Councilmember Gonzales, he stated that Council can add a condition to the specific plan
which prohibits the use of large passenger busses to transport individuals to the event.
Discussion was held regarding the project site, the pool and the three alternatives that were presented.
