Project Address: 2771 North Garey Avenue
Project Applicant: The Waterford Group
Project Planner: Ata Khan, Associate Planner
Council District: CC District No. 6
Tentative Parcel Map and Development Plan Review for a proposed 506,000 square-foot
residential and commercial mixed-use development under the development standards of the
Corridors Specific Plan (CSP). The project would involve demolition of the existing one -story
building that covers nearly half of the project site and associated chemical storage building,
and construction of two mixed-use buildings with commercial ground floor uses fronting Garey
Avenue, residential uses throughout, and two wrapped parking garages with partially
submerged levels. Wrapped parking structures are defined in the CSP as a partially
submerged or above-ground parking structure where non-parking uses are integrated into the
building along the parcel’s entire street frontage(s) on all levels of the building. The parking
structure is totally hidden behind non-parking uses in Building A and B. The City of Pomona
General Plan Update (GPU) designates the project site as a “Transit Oriented District: Core”
Place Type and the site is part of the North Pomona Center Transit Oriented District. The
project site is zoned Corridors Specific Plan. In the CSP, the site is designated as
Transit-Oriented District: North Metrolink. Pursuant to the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Public Resources Code, Section 21083 et. seq.), the
guidelines include special situations for projects which have been determined to be consistent
with the development density established by existing zoning, community plan, or general plan
policies for which an EIR was certified and which shall, therefore, be exempt from further
environmental review. This streamlines the review of such projects and reduces the need to
prepare repetitive environmental studies. In compliance with Article 12, Section 15183, (Project
Consistent with a Community Plan or Zoning), the proposed project described above hereby
meets the guidelines of CEQA. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.

Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve Tentative Parcel Map
(PARCELMAP 7099-2017, No. 74582) and Development Plan Review (DPR 5953-2016),
