23.    PUBLIC HEARING: EXTENSION OF URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 7354 OF THE CITY OF PASADENA TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING DEMOLITION AND “MAJOR PROJECTS” AFFECTING ELIGIBLE, UNDESIGNATED HISTORIC RESOURCES (See related Item No. 27)

         Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:

(1)      Find that, on November 18, 2019, the Council found the proposed interim ordinance exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) and 15262) because the interim ordinance does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and because the project involves only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the City has not approved, adopted, or funded, and does not involve adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities, and no further environmental review is necessary for this extension of the same ordinance;

(2)      Find that the proposed moratorium is consistent with the objectives and policies of the General Plan;

(3)      Find that there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare pursuant to the standards and policies set forth in the General Plan in that the proposed interim ordinance extension is necessary to preserve eligible, undesignated historic resources; and

(4)      Adopt an urgency ordinance extending Ordinance No. 7354 to October 29, 2021 or until amendments to the Historic Preservation Ordinance are adopted, whichever occurs first.
