NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AZUSA,
CALIFORNIA, DOES FIND AND DECLARE THAT:
SECTION 1. Based on the entire record before the Council and all written and oral
evidence presented, the Council finds the General Plan Amendment promotes the goals and
objectives of the General Plan and leaves the General Plan a compatible, integrated, and internally
consistent statement of policies for the following reasons:
A. The General Plan Amendmentis integrated and compatiblewith theLandUse
Element in that it provides an appropriate orientation and relationship between land uses within and
adjacent to the Subject Site, and promotes orderly development beyond the Subject Site's
boundaries. It proposes primarily residential uses and some commercial uses that are consistent with
uses surrounding the Subject Site, i.e., residential uses of varying densities to the east and west of
the site; residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional uses south of the site; and open space
uses north of the site. The Rosedale Specific Plan, the specific plan proposed for adoption in this
land use district, includes three "character" zones to reflect and be compatible with community
character surrounding the southern, central, and northern portions of the site.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following General
Plan Land Use Element goals and objectives:
• Provide an orderly, functional, and compatible land use pattern to guide the future growth
and development of Azusa and its planning area.
• Ensure that the type, amount, design, and pattern of all land uses throughout the City and
planning area serve to protect and enhance the character and image ofAzusa as a desirable
residential urban community.
• Provide for an orderly pattern of future development and change throughout the City that
will be both compatible with and beneficial to existing land uses and which will ensure
residents of a desirable urban environment in which to live, work, shop, and play.
• Allow development in the San Gabriel Mountain foothills only when proper consideration
has been shown for all environmental and safetyfactors.
• Provide for a well-balanced variety of housing arrangements, opportunities, and densities,
each appropriately located with reference to topography, traffic circulation, community
facilities, and aesthetic considerations.
• Ensure development of school, park, and other necessary public facilities well related to
residential neighborhoods.
RVPU %M1\53542 -2-
0 9
• Encourage the development of residences for all economic segments of the City and also
encourage the ownership of these units in order to increase neighborhood stability.
• Ensure that all residential developmentproposals include an adequate and detailed analysis
of the impact on the entire community and of the community's ability to sustain it, in terms
of provision ofsuch factors as adequate access, off' -street parking, reasonable demands on
utilities and public facilities, and others that might affect residential ofcommunity quality.
• Ensure that all new development is compatible with the Circulation Element and existing
street system and that the system will adequately handle the expected traffic increase.
• Promote the development of commercial facilities which are convenient to residents and
which provide the widest possible selection of goods and services, in keeping with sound
economic principles of retail locations.
• Provide for adequate park and recreation facilities to meet the demands of present and
future Azusa citizens.
• Provide for a land use configuration that is compatible with the transportation and
circulation systems that currently exist and with those that are planned by the City, County,
and State.
• Provide for land uses that encourage efficient use of the circulation systems that exist, while
avoiding land use concentrations or locations that might result in unnecessary and
undesirable congestion.
• Provide for adequate access into residential areas by local or collector streets, avoiding
congestion and hazardous conditions that are often caused by direct access onto arterial
streets from local streets or residences.
• Provide for alternative modes of transportation such as bicycles, pedestrian facilities, etc.,
as well as access to major regional transportation systems.
• Adequately buffer the more sensitive land uses from the adverse effects offreeways, major
arterials, railroad and other circulation components.
B. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Circulation Element of the General Plan in that the density and distribution of uses within the
Subject Site will generate traffic which, with implementation of mitigation measures adopted as a
result of the EIR certification process, will be accommodated by the proposed internal and
surrounding circulation system for the project.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
RVPMVdM"3542 -3-
0 0
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following
Circulation Element goals, objectives, and policies:
• Provide for a transportation system which supports planned land uses and improves the
quality of life.
• Develop a balanced system of circulation which incorporates motor vehicles, pedestrians,
bicycles and otherprivateandpublic transportation modes with greatersafety and increased
energy efficiency.
• The City shall continue to require any new development or redevelopment of property to
provide adequate right-of-way widths for possible future needs and to provide for traffic
patterns necessary to accommodate future growth needs.
• The City shall discourage, whereverpossible, direct access ofnew residential developments
onto major arterial streets.
• Every effort shall be made to encourage energy conservation through the use of energy
efficient transportation modes, physical design, and traffic control devices.
• The City shall allow private streets only where a means satisfactory to the City is provided
for their maintenance and operation.
• The City shall continue to regulate the provision of adequate off-street parking for all
existing development and require adequate off-street parking for all future developments.
• The City shall continue to support the development ofpublic and private street aesthetics,
and continue emphasis for the provision and maintenance of landscaped parkways.
• Every attempt shall be made to increasepedestrian safety by requiring all new development
to provide sidewalks where appropriate.
• The special needs of the physically handicapped shall be recognized by ensuring that all
sidewalks, streets and street crossings, public areas, and related facilities which are
normally used by the general public will be accessible to the physically handicapped.
• The City shall encourage the use of the bicycle as a means of transportation and make
provisions for its safe and easy use within the City.
C. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Scenic
Highways Elementin thatit preserves and enhances the aesthetic resources within the scenic corridor
affected by the project, the Sierra Madre Avenue scenic corridor. The General Plan identifies Sierra
Madre Avenue from Todd Avenue to Barranca Avenue as a proposed local scenic route. The
Specific Plan maintains the aesthetics of this roadway by providing for landscape treatments within
the Rosedale Community boundaries. This treatment includes a landscaped parkway with sidewalks
RVPUBV OD"3U2 -4-

on the south side of Sierra Madre Avenue and bike lanes on both the north and south sides.
Additionally, the plan for the parkways features pine trees in informal drifts and a 12 -foot median
along a portion of Sierra Madre Avenue.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with the following Scenic Highway Element
goal:
Provide enhanced recreational and commercial opportunities served by a system of scenic
roadways.
D. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the City's
Housing Element. The proposed general plan land use designation and the proposed specific plan
for this area will assist the City in accomplishing its housing goals by providing adequate additional
sites for development of a variety of housing types at varying income levels in order to meet the
future housing needs of the City. The SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and the
specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with the following housing goals:
Identify adequate housing sites which will be made available through appropriate zoning
and development standards and with public services and facilities needed to facilitate and
encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income groups; and
Promote housing opportunities for all persons regardless of race, religion, sex, marital
status, ancestry, national origin or color.
Additionally, the Rosedale Specific Plan also provides for the development of moderate to high
income housing which is a need in the community. Finally, the Rosedale Specific Plan will not
inhibit the goal of assisting in the development of adequate housing to met the needs of low -and
moderate -income households in the City.
E. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Seismic
Safety/ Public Safety Elements in thatit provides an appropriate land use distribution and orientation
that protects the community from unreasonable risks associated with seismic, geologic, flood, and
wildfire hazards. The project site, like most of the Southern California region, is subject to seismic
hazards. Three active faults traverse the property, and one additional fault zone may cause cracking
during a seismic event. In addition, the potential exists for liquefaction, settling, landslides, and
flooding as a result of a local or regional seismic event. Further, the Specific Plan proposes
development of residences that will abut brush -covered hillsides north of Sierra Madre Avenue.
However, the EIR Mitigation Monitoring Program and the conditions of approval address such
seismic, geologic, flood, and wildfire risks.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) ofthe Rosedale Specific Plan, the Specific Plan is consistentwith the SP (Specific Plan
MUMI UM535/2 -5-
0 0
District) land use designation and the specific plan adopted for this area, including but not limited
to, the following Safety and Seismic Safety Element goals, objectives, and policies:
• Prevention of serious injury and loss of life.
• To reduce loss of life, injuries, and damage to property caused by seismic events and
seismic -related conditions.
• To reduce loss of life, injuries, and damage to property, and loss ofnatural resources caused
by wildland and urban fres.
• To prevent injury or loss of life and damage to property due to flood hazards
• Review and evaluate proposed land uses in extreme and high fire hazard areas as to their
vulnerability to f re and their potentiality as ignition sources.
• Prohibit the use of untreated shake roofs in areas of high and extreme fire hazard.
• Encourage property owners to make accessible all water in privately owned swimming
pools, existing or constructed, in or adjacent to high and eztremefirerisk areas to fire trucks
for use in onsite fire protection. This could be accomplished through the inclusion of
suitable gates and driveways in both existing and proposed homes.
• The Technical Section ofthe Seismic Safety Element should be made available to developers
for review and use when proposing land development. Make available to builders and
Realtors findings of the Seismic Safety Element
• New construction directly astride or across known active faults, or fault zones, should be
prohibited. Non-structural land uses, however, should bepermitted.
F. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Conservation Element in that it provides uses that promote the orderly conservation, development,
and utilization of natural resources. The Specific Plan preserves 225 acres of natural open space at
the foot of the San Gabriel mountains. As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency
analysis, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and the specific plan adopted for this
area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following Conservation Element goals, objectives,
and policies:
To protect, conserve, and manage the natural and scenic resources of the Azusa Planning
Area.
To ensure an adequate supply of high quality water for local and regional needs by
preventing the accelerated water loss due to high runoff and loss ofgroundwater recharge
areas, and pollution, while protecting life and property with appropriate flood protection
measures.

• Conserve soils as a water -regulating medium as well as for the production of natural or
other hillside vegetation.
• To promote the retention ofnative or other vegetation whereverfeasible for maximum water
yield, air and water quality, and food hazard reduction.
• To preserve adequate expanses of all major habitat types so as to maintain ecosystems in a
natural balance for recreation, scientific, economic, education and scenic purposes.
• To secure a safe, healthful, and wholesome environment through careful planning for the
preservation and utilization of natural resources and natural resource lands.
G. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Open
Space Element in that it provides land uses that are consistent with and promote the adopted goals
and policies for preserving and managing open space within the City. The proposed project
preserves 225 acres of natural open space and provides for approximately 17 additional acres of open
space within developed areas of the site. Although development under the Specific Plan would
result in the destruction of cultural resources on the site, including an agricultural canal and other
significant features identified during the environmental review process (but not specifically listed
in the General Plan), implementation of various mitigation measures will preserve and
protect/document these resources. Such protective measures are consistent with the goals and
policies of the Open Space Element.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following Open
Space Element goals, objectives, and policies:
• To secure a safe, healthful, and wholesome environment through careful planning and
preservation of open space resources.
• To maintain the continued existence of valuable amenities which provide beauty, identity,
and farm to the community and to neighborhoods within the community.
• To preserve or conserve valuable natural and cultural resources that have scientific,
educational, economic and cultural value.
• No commercial or industrial uses, except those permitted pursuant to existing zoning
classification, should be permitted in the hillside area.
• Average overall residential density in the hillside area should not exceed a density that is
compatible with the natural topography.
RVMB%VD&53542 -7-
0 0
• No projector division of land should be permitted in the hillside areas except pursuant to
a plan of development approved by the City, provided that such plans conform to the
General Plan.
• No project should be approved for the hillside area which involves the grading of land that
would eliminate existing major natural features. Extensive table topping of hills and filling
in of canyons and/or arroyos is to be discouraged.
• Roads through natural resources (open space) land should be designed to emphasize scenic
values and to accommodate recreational activities, such as hiking, horseback riding, and
bicycling.
• Signs on natural resource (open space) lands should be limited to those which are permitted
in residential zones and only on the same conditions.
• The development and maintenance ofrecreational linkagesystems shouldbea consideration
in all planning decisions. Trails or easements should be included in all subdivisions to allow
access to other existing or potential recreational facilities.
H. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Noise
Element in that it provides apattem of landuses thatminimizes the exposure of community residents
to excessive noise. The SP land use designation and the associated Rosedale Specific Plan will
change land use on the Subject Site from nursery operations to residential and some commercial
uses. An increase in noise levels generated at the site associated with activities such as vehicular
travel on local streets, operation of gardening equipment, and children playing is expected. The
extent to which noise from these activities increases ambient noise levels in surrounding
communities will depend on site specific conditions such as topography, landscaping, wind
direction, temperature, etc. However, noise levels in surrounding neighborhoods are expected to
remain within noise standards of the City of Azusa and the City of Glendora. Nevertheless, the
Specific Plan does include requirements for block walls and landscaping along major roadways
within the Rosedale community. These are designed to provide a barrier between roads and
residential uses and to reduce traffic noise impacts on residential development. Additional
environmental conditions would require the applicant to prepare a construction truck route plan and
inform nearby residents of proposed construction routes so that residents are aware of the location
and timing of proposed construction impacts, including noise.. Other measures would require the
developer to incorporate features that will ensure that future noise levels are consistent the City's
General Plan policies and Title 24 requirements.
As noted in Section 7 (General Plan Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific
Plan District) land use designation and the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with,
but not limited to, the following Noise Element goals, objectives, and policies:
To prohibit unnecessary and annoying noise from all sources in the community through the
identification, control, and abatement ofnoise pollutants.
RVPUB%L'CA\53542 -8-
0 0
To continue to present programs which prohibit unnecessary, excessive and annoying noise
from sources which are subject to the police power
• To use existing and future regulatory controls such and noise ordinances, zoning
restrictions, conditional use permits, environmental impacts reports and precise plans for
the identification, control and abatement of noise.
To provide information to the public regarding thepotential impact of various noisesources
and methods for abatement.
I. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the
Community Design Element in that the Specific Plan includes a Design Guidelines section with
recommended, mandatory, and encouraged design elements aimed at achieving an "eclectic order"
design theme for the Rosedale community at a reasonable cost. The Design Guidelines are aimed
at promoting community identity through the creation of a residential community comprised of
villages and smaller neighborhoods within villages that all link together through roadways and a
pedestrian circulation system lined with a strong landscape treatment.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following
Community Design Element goals, objectives, and policies:
•
Provide guidelinesfor design treatments ofpublic andp?ivate buildings which are aesthetic
yet economically practical. l To develop design criteria for all commercial and industrial
development, as well as residential projects of nine or more dwelling units.
• Promote community identity through the upgrading of existing landscaping, redesign of
existing buildings and design treatments for new buildings which are in keeping with
community character. 1To foster community identity and pride through design treatment. l
To ensure that proposed development will be properly related to its site and to surrounding
structures; to prevent the erection of structures which are inharmonious with their
surroundings. l To ensure that the design and exterior architecture ofproposed structures
will not be so at variance with either the design or exterior architecture of the structure
already constructed or being constructed in the immediate neighborhood as to cause a
substantial depreciation ofproperty values in the neighborhood.
• T o ensure that sites, projects and structures are developed with due regard for the aesthetic
qualities of the natural terrain and landscape, and that trees and shrubs are not
indiscriminately destroyed.
• To ensure that open spaces, parking areas, and landscaping are designed to enhance the
visual and physical use of the property and to screen deleterious uses.

I The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the Historic
Preservation Element. A strict interpretation of this element would lead to the conclusion that the
goals and objectives of this element are not applicable to the Specific Plan because, the plan area
does not include any of the historic resources specifically identified in the Historic Preservation
Element. However, a number of historic resources and a potential historic district have been
identified as part of the EIR process. These resources include a canal, the Vosburg house, and the
entrance to Palm Drive. The V osburg house will be retained as part of the project. However, other
historic resources would be removed and/or relocated as part of the development under the Specific
Plan. For example, the existing palms along Palm Drive will not be retained but will be removed and
relocated to other portions of the specific plan project area (i.e. Rosedale Parkway). Nevertheless,
with implementation of mitigation measures and procedures to preserve/protect the resources at the
site, the Specific Plan is substantially consistent with the goals and objectives of the Historic
Preservation Element.
As noted in the staff report's General Plan consistency analysis and Section 7 (General Plan
Consistency) of the Rosedale Specific Plan, the SP (Specific Plan District) land use designation and
the specific plan adopted for this area are consistent with, but not limited to, the following Historic
Preservation Element goals, objectives, and policies:
To preserve valuable natural and man-made resources that have scientific, educational, economic
and cultural value. /Evaluate buildings to determine if they can be restored and brought up to Fire,
Health and Building Code standards. /Restore and enhance historical, cultural and other man-
made features. /To promote community identification and visual quality. /Identify and preserve
sites which are significant in the past development and economy of the community and which foster
the public's awareness of the cultural make-up of the community. /To encourage the educational
and cultural enrichment of the residents ofAzusa. /Utilizing CEQA and the public hearingprocess,
educate and notify the public of development activities and potential impacts upon historic sites.
K. The General Plan Amendment is integrated and compatible with the City's
Master Recreation Plan in that it provides substantial opportunities for public recreation. The
Rosedale Land Use Plan preserves approximately 225 acres located north of Sierra Madre as natural
open space. This natural open space area will include hiking trails that will connect with existing
trails in the adjoining Angelus National Forest. Additionally, a 9.1 -acre community park is provided
located near the center of the specific plan area and within a 10 -minute walk from anywhere within
the Rosedale community.
Village/pocket parks have also been included within the Rosedale community. These are located
within a 3 -minute walk of each planning area and account for approximately 5.1 acres of park area.
Many of the village/pocket parks are also connected to each other via trails to further enhance
recreational opportunities. Finally, additional private recreation opportunities have been encouraged
within the planning areas to further enhance the attractiveness of the various housing types.

SECTION 2. An Initial Study and Draft Program SIR have been prepared for the
proposed general plan amendment in accordance with the provisions of CEQA, the State CEQA
Guidelines, and the City of Azusa's procedures for implementing CEQA. Prior to approving the
General Plan Amendment, the City Council considered the Initial Study, the Draft Program EIR, and
all related documents, as well as the comments received during the environmental document's public
review period. Based on the entire record before the Council, the staff reports, and all written and
oral evidence presented, the Council finds, determines and declares that although the proposed
Application may have unavoidable adverse impacts, the Council makes the finding according to
subsection (c) of Public Resources Code section 21081 that the benefits of the proposed project and
its associated entitlements, outweigh the unavoidable impacts identified in the EIR.
SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the Council, the staff reports and all
written and oral evidence presented, the Council has found that the General Plan Amendment is in
the public interest and results in substantial community benefits because it meets and facilitates the
fulfillment of many of the City's adopted general plan goals and policies. Further, it promotes
additional housing opportunities to an economic market that is not fully satisfied by the existing
housing stock in Azusa, while preserving over 200 acres as natural open space, and preserving
potentially historically significant resources. Moreover, the proposed General PlanAmendmentwill
not adversely affect surrounding properties because the Rosedale Specific Plan contains policies to
assure that more traditional and compatible detached single family residential land use patterns are
developed adjacentto existing neighborhoods in both Azusa and theCity of Glendora. Additionally,
mitigation measures have been included to assure the project facilitated by this amendment is
compatible with surrounding properties and uses and will not cause significant adverse effects upon
surrounding properties and uses, including review of all future subdivision maps to assure
compatibility with surrounding properties. Finally, the proposed amendment does not conflict with
provisions of the zoning ordinance, the Subdivision Map Act or the City's subdivision regulations
since the proposed Rosedale Specific Plan contains its own zoning and development standards and
all future subdivision maps filed in as a result of the amendmentwill comply with all requirements
of the Subdivision Map Act and the City's subdivision ordinance.
SECTION 4. Based on the entire record before the Council, all written and oral
evidence presented, the staff reports, and the findings made in this Resolution, the Council hereby
amends the General Plan of the City of Azusa as set forth in Exhibit "A" ("General Plan
Amendment"), subject to the applicable Conditions of Approval in Exhibit "B" ("Conditions of
Approval"). The Council further hereby adopts, and incorporates by reference as if fully set forth,
the Mitigation Monitoring Program, attached hereto as Exhibit "C."
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective thirty (30)
days after its adoption.
SECTION 6. In accordance with California Government Code, §65357, within one
working day following the adoption of the general plan amendment, the city clerk shall make the
documents amending the plan avialable to the public for inspection.

FINAL
Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
Rosedale Specific Plan
City of Azusa
January 14,1999
This Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program has been prepared pursuant to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 21081.6 and
Section 15099 of the State CEQA Guidelines. The purpose of this program is to document
implementation of mitigation measures required by the Final Environmental Impact Report
(Final EIR) for the Rosedale Specific Plan and by the January 14, 1999 Summary of Minor
Modifications to Final Environmental Impact Report (Summary).
The City of Azusa has adopted the mitigation measures included in the Final EIR and the
Summary to mitigate or avoid significant impacts on the environment. This program has been
designed to ensure compliance during project implementation.
Mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR and the Summary have been incorporated into
the checklist included as part of this program. Each mitigation measure is numbered as it
appears in the Summary and is listed with appropriate spaces for monitoring the progress of
implementation. The following information is identified for each measure:
• When the measure will be implemented; for example, one time only, prior to
construction, during construction, prior to occupancy, or once the project has been
completed and homes occupied on an ongoing basis.
• How the measure will be implemented; i.e. through existing code and other requirements;
through requirements imposed on all individual projects; or as needed.
• What City departments or other agencies will be responsible for verifying the mitigation
and responding to violations.
The mitigation monitoring program checklist is to be retained in the project file and available
for public inspection on proper request.
Annual Review of Mitigation Monitoring Program
Oversight of the Mitigation Monitoring Program will be the responsibility of the Azusa
Planning Division (Planning). Planning may assign responsibilities as appropriate and
necessary. Planning staff' will undertake an annual review of the Mitigation Monitoring
Program and prepare a brief progress memorandum based on that review. The memorandum
0 0
should be transmitted to the Planning Commission and City Council for review and any
appropriate action.
The reviewer will check each mitigation measure listed in the Mitigation Monitoring Program
to determine whether or not implementation has been completed. If the mitigation measure
has been completed, the reviewer will indicate such on the report, initialing and dating the
notation to indicate compliance.
For measures that require a report, program, or plan, the reviewer should determine if that
report, program, or plan is due based on the progress program implementation to date. If the
report, program, or plan is timely, that fact should be reported in a review memorandum to the
head of the responsible City department.
For measures that require ongoing compliance, the memorandum should report whether these
measures are being actively pursued and if not, what action is appropriate. If the measures are
no longer appropriate or necessary because the environmental effect is no longer an issue, then
that fact should be reported in the review memorandum and the discontinuation of the
mitigation measure recommended. If measures are not being implemented adequately,
recommendations should be made to improve application of the mitigation measure.
Project Design Mitigation Measures
A project design mitigation measure is a measure that needs to be incorporated into the project
design, for example, inclusion of the earthquake setback zones and drainage improvements.
Such measures normally will be shown on the building plans, site plans, public improvement
plans, specifications, or other project documents. The mitigation monitoring checklist will be
used to check off those mitigation measures shown on the plans. If a mitigation measure is
not shown on the appropriate plan sheets, plans will be sent back for incorporation of those
mitigation measures or approved equivalents. Plans will not be approved until each mitigation
measure is incorporated into the project design.
After plans are approved, and before any component of design is approved sus complete by the
City in its inspection, the project proponents will submit proof that each mitigation measure
shown on the plans has been installed or incorporated into the constructed project.
Verification of compliance will then be noted on the monitoring checklist and signed off,
completing the process for this category of mitigation measure.
0 0
Construction Mitigation Measures
Construction mitigation measures are measures designed to reduce the impacts of construction
and generally are required throughout the construction phase. Monitoring will be verified by
the Building Division and City Engineer as appropriate during regular visits to the sites during
construction. Reporting of compliance with mitigation measures should lie required at least
monthly, with reports of violations made immediately to the appropriate department.
Operational Mitigation Measures
Operational mitigation measures are those that apply over the longer term; once homes have
been constructed, sold, and occupied. These mitigation measures should be verified on an
annual basis and if problems are noted, reinspected on a more regular basis until the measure
is operating effectively.
Use of Contractors
The monitoring program for measures to be incorporated into project design parallels current
City practices of verifying compliance with applicable City codes during design and
construction. No additional staffing is required, except that training may be appropriate to
alert inspectors to the new requirements and the use of the monitoring checklist. In case of
some specific unique or unusual mitigation measures, the City may contract with consultants
for inspection or verification of mitigation measures.
Monitoring Program Fees
Where mitigation monitoring efforts are substantial, the City is authorized to charge mitigation
monitoring fees to support the actual costs of mitigation monitoring. In such cases, the City
will charge and collect from the developer a fee in the amount of the anticipated actual cost
to the City for monitoring all mitigation measures, including consultant services and costs of
administration. A deposit may be required by the City to be applied toward this fee. Any
unused portion of the deposit will be refunded. In circumstances in which the developer will
not be associated with the project after construction, the City can charge the anticipated cost
of operation of the mitigation monitoring program for an appropriate period in advance.
Sanctions/Penalties
The City may levy sanctions or penalties for violations of conditions listed in the monitoring
program. These sanctions and penalties may include but are not limited to:
Civil penalties/fines according to City codes
2. "Stop work" orders
3. Revocation of permits
4. Holding issuance of Certificate of Occupancy until completion of work
5. Forfeiture of performance bond
6. Implementation of measures with appropriate charges to the applicant based on
mitigation monitoring program agreements
Dispute Resolution
In the event of a disagreement between the City and project applicant/developer regarding the
monitoring program, including manner of payment, penalties for noncompliance, and financial
security arrangements, the following procedure, or other appropriate procedure, will be
followed:
City staff will attempt to resolve the disagreement. If the disagreement cannot be
resolved, staff will prepare a report documenting the source of the dispute and the City's
position.
2. City staff will take the report before the City Council as appropriate, which will determine
the resolution of the disagreement.

Beatty Canyon represents a drainage area that falls under the jurisdic-
tion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (pursuant to Section 404 of
the Federal Clean Water Act) and the CDFG (Section 1600 [Stream
Alteration Agreement] of the State Fish and Game Code). Because
less than 1/3 of an acre will be affected, the project is automatically
approved on the Corps under NWP No. 26. The CDFG mitigation
standard for this area and its plant communities is no net loss of
habitat acreage or habitat values. Therefore, project mitigation will
require replacement on a 1:1 basis, although precise mitigation is
subject to a negotiation agreement. On-site mitigation for this habitat
loss is possible, as is off-site mitigation in the San Gabriel River or its
tributary canyons. Alternatively, the project could be redesigned to
avoid development in or near Beatty Canyon and thereby eliminate
the potential impact. The City will work with the developer to choose
the most appropriate mitigation option. The two mitigation options
are:
la. Prior to the approval of any grading plan affecting Beatty Canyon,

potential of this site to yield further information.
Previous research by CRMS did not address the potential for
buried historical archaeological remains in the area of the Cliff
House or at the 1910 residence. This was due to the fact that
both structures were standing at the time of the initial report; both
structures have been demolished since 1992. The potential for
significant subsurface remains in the form of features, trash pits,
and privies are a very real archaeological concern, especially
since the structures have been removed. Buried remains are
often the only link to the past when written history and standing
structures no longer exist.
