Minor Exception 25-05

Somi Kim has applied for a minor exception to expand an existing 772 square foot single-family home at 3014 Sullivan Avenue in Rosemead, California, by adding a 1,087 square foot structure to the rear and second floor, bringing the total proposed footprint beyond current zoning allowances. The property, located in an R-1 zone and covering approximately 7,440 square feet, is currently a legal nonconforming dwelling, and the proposed addition seeks approval under exception procedures due to noncompliance with standard residential development requirements. Concurrently, the applicant plans a significant interior renovation to convert the existing first floor bedrooms, living room, and one-car garage into a new living room, kitchen, pantry, and courtyard, effectively reconfiguring the home’s functional layout to enhance livability while maintaining the structure’s residential character. The project is formally designated as Minor Exception 25-05, posted on July 7, 2026, under the jurisdiction of the City of Rosemead, California, and falls under the broader oversight of the city's planning and development authority. The primary point of contact for administrative and planning inquiries is Assistant Planner Candice (Yuxin) Jiang, reachable through the city’s official channels, while the applicant, Somi Kim, can be reached directly for project-specific details. No solicitation or procurement number is attached, confirming this is a land use exception request rather than a public contract or bid process. The application’s status and supporting documentation are accessible via a state-maintained environmental review portal, indicating compliance with California environmental review protocols is part of the approval process.
