16. PUBLIC HEARING:
ZONING CODE AMENDMENT - SINGLE LEVEL (SL) OVERLAY DISTRICT
Recommendation:
(1)
Adopt the environmental determination that the proposed Zoning Code
Amendment is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to the
guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources
Code Section 21080(b)(9); Administrative Code, Title 14, Chapter 3, Article
5, Section 15061(b)(3), General Rule);
(2)
Adopt the Findings to Amend the Zoning Code (Attachment A of the
agenda report);
(3)
Approve the Zoning Code Amendment to Section 17.28 (Zoning Overlay
District) of the Pasadena Municipal Code (PMC) to create new Zoning Overlay
District, Single-Level Overlay District, as recommended jointly by the
Planning Commission and staff; and
(4)
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance within 60 days
amending Title 17 of the Pasadena Municipal Code (Zoning
Code), to create Section 17.26.120 (SL Single-Level Overlay District).
Recommendation of the Planning Commission:
On July 27, 2016, the Planning
Commission considered the staff recommendation to amend the Zoning Code to
create the Single-Level (SL) Overlay District. The Commission focused its
discussion on the thresholds that would be applicable to a proposed
Single-Level Overlay District in the future and decided to lower the
necessary threshold from the staff recommendations. Whereas staff
recommended a minimum level of support from property owners in a proposed SL
overlay district of 70 percent, the Commission voted to recommend a minimum
of 66 percent. Similarly, the Commission voted to recommend that a minimum
of 70 percent of the existing residences in a proposed SL overlay district
be one-story in height, whereas staff had recommended 80 percent. The
Commission also voted to require a minimum size of one blockface for a
proposed overlay district. These recommended changes were made in order to
make adoption of the overlay district more appropriate for the level of
significance and importance of what the overlays seeks to achieve, as well
as to be more consistent with other City thresholds.
