C. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A MORATORIUM ON NEW
RESIDENTIAL AND MIXED-USE CONSTRUCTION IN THE CENTRAL
DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN AREA
Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that, following a
public hearing, the City Council:
(1) Find the proposed moratorium to be exempt from environmental review
pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act, CEQA
Guidelines, Section 15060(C)(2), because the moratorium will not result in a
direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.
(2) Approve a moratorium for an initial period of 45 days on new
construction, as described on Attachment B of the agenda report, on parcels
within the Central District Specific Plan Area, except for parcels in Central
District subdistricts CD-7 and CD-7A, Planned Developments and Master
Development Plans, as shown and described on Attachments A and B in the
agenda report;
(3) Find that the proposed moratorium is consistent with the objectives and
policies of the General Plan;
(4) Find that (a) continued approval of residential and mixed-use
construction in the Central District Specific Plan Area under the existing
requirements would have adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or
welfare pursuant to the standards and policies set forth in the General Plan;
and (b) an interim ordinance establishing the proposed moratorium is
necessary to avoid these adverse impacts and to provide time for an analysis
of the Draft Central District Specific Plan and implementing revisions of the
Zoning Code; and
(5) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an urgency interim ordinance
implementing this recommendation.
Recommendation of Planning Commission: The Planning Commission
held a public hearing on April 14, 2004. The Planning Commission, by a vote
of seven to two, approved the staff recommendation with two modifications.
Both modifications are related to the categories of projects that would be
excepted (i.e., exempted) from the moratorium on building permits. First,
projects with applications for Predevelopment Plan Review ("PPR") submitted
on or before December 8, 2003, would be excepted. Second, projects that
are subject to a Master Development Plan would be excepted, in addition to
those with Planned Developments.
