ME 25-03 2708 Denton

Yinghong Huang and Stephanie Dai have submitted a Minor Exception application, identified as ME 25-03, to the City of Rosemead for their property located at 2708 Denton Avenue in the R-2 zone. The project seeks to add 1,093 square feet to the rear of an existing 1,184 square foot single-family home, which would result in a total dwelling size of 2,277 square feet. The property is currently considered nonconforming due to a side yard setback of 4 feet along the southern property line, which is less than the required minimum of 5 feet. Under Rosemead Municipal Code Section 17.72.040(B)(1), a Minor Exception is required for the enlargement of a legal nonconforming structure, provided the expansion does not increase the degree of nonconformity or extend into any conforming setback area. The project is categorized as a Class 3 Categorical Exemption under Section 15303 of the California Environmental Quality Act. The application was signed by the Director of Community Development on September 18, 2025, and is associated with NAICS code 236118.
