ME 25-03 2708 Denton

Yinghong Huang and Stephanie Dai seek approval to expand their existing 1,184 square foot single-family home at 2708 Denton Avenue in Rosemead by adding 1,093 square feet to the rear, bringing the total dwelling size to 2,277 square feet. The property is situated in the R-2 zone on a 6,565 square foot lot and is currently nonconforming due to a side yard setback of only four feet along the southern property line, falling short of the required five-foot minimum. Under Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.72.040(B)(1), a Minor Exception is necessary to permit expansion of a legal nonconforming structure, provided that the enlargement does not worsen the existing nonconformity or encroach into any area that meets current zoning standards. The proposed addition is designed to respect the existing nonconforming condition by extending only rearward, avoiding any further encroachment on the deficient side yard, and complying with all other applicable development regulations. The application is being reviewed by the City of Rosemead’s Community Development Department, with primary contact information provided for inquiries and coordination.
