B. PUBLIC HEARING: REVISIONS TO THE HILLSIDE DEVELOPMENT
OVERLAY DISTRICTS
Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that, following a
public hearing, the City Council:
(1) Approve the Initial Environmental Study and Negative Declaration
(Attachment B of the agenda report);
(2) Approve the De Minimis Impact Finding on the State Fish and Wildlife
Habitat (Attachment C of the agenda report);
(3) Approve the revisions to Section 17.48 and 17.49 of the Municipal Code
(Hillside Development Overlay Districts), as shown in Attachment D of the
agenda report; and Title 10, Traffic and Vehicles;
(4) Approve the Overlay Zone Change from HD (Hillside District) to HD-SR
(Hillside District, San Rafael) for the portion of the Hillside District known
generally as the San Rafael Hills area and shown on Attachment A of the
agenda report as HD-SR; and
(5) Find that the proposed revisions to the Hillside Development Overlay
Districts and the grading ordinance are consistent with the goals and policies
of the General Plan;
(6) Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Determination and a Certificate of
Fee Exemption for the California Department of Fish and Game, with the
Los Angeles County Recorder; and
(7) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance that implements this
recommendation and develops a methodology for processing existing cases
and plans for hillside projects.
Recommendation of Planning Commission: The Planning Commission
reviewed the proposed hillside development standards on April 14, 2004.
Following extensive testimony, the item was continued until April 28, 2004.
On April 28, the Planning Commission voted 8-0 to approve the standards as
proposed with the recommended modifications described in Attachment F of
the agenda report. The Planning Commission held a second vote regarding
solely the issue of the deduction of the 50% sloped area of a lot from the
floor area ratio calculation. The Commission separated the votes because
the 50% slope deduction issue was the only proposed standard that garnered
differing opinions. The Commission voted 5-3 to remove the 50% slope
deduction from the revisions and removed the 3,000 square foot limitation for
homes on steep lots impacted by 50% slopes (Section 17.48.060.A.3 and
17.48.060.A6). This vote included a recommended modification to the
existing slope reduction formula that reduces the allowed floor area that can
be built (Section 17.48.060.A.4). The Commission found that this change, in
addition to new regulations on neighborhood compatibility, ridgeline and view
protection, and height restriction will adequately regulate hillside
development. The staff agrees with the Planning Commission
recommendation with the exception of the removal of the 50% slope
deduction.
