8:00 P.M.
B. PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO
PLANNED DEVELOPMENT-11 (PD-
11, FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, CRAIG AVENUE, AND
WHITE STREET)
ZONING DISTRICT
Recommendation of City Manager: It is
recommended that the City
Council, following a public hearing:
(1) Approve the Initial
Environmental Study as revised, the Mitigated
Negative Declaration, and Mitigation
Monitoring Program (Attachment 1 of
the agenda report);
(2) Approve the De
Minimis Impact Finding on the State Fish and Wildlife
Habitat (Attachment 2 of the agenda
report);
(3) Find that the
proposed amendments to the PD-11 are consistent with
the policies and goals of the General Plan
and the purposes of Title 17 as
outlined in the body of the report;
(4) 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 (Attachment 3 of
the agenda report);
(5) Approve the
amendments to the PD-11 (Planned Development-11,
Foothill Boulevard, Craig Avenue, and White
Street) described in the body of
the report (Attachment 4 of the agenda
report);
(6) Direct the City
Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending the PD-11
(Planned Development-11, Foothill
Boulevard, Craig Avenue, and White
Street) district.
Recommendation of Planning Commission: The
Planning Commission
reviewed the proposal at the July 14 and
July 28, 2004 meetings. At the latter
meeting, the Commission voted 7 to 1 to
recommend denial of the proposed
PD amendment. As part of the
amendment staff had recommended that self-
storage use be permitted in the PD-11
district. However the Commission
requested that staff explore other options
to consider the expansion as a non-
conforming use. While staff returned
with an alternative, which involved a
two-step process, the Commission ultimately
recommended denial of the PD
amendment. Commission objections
focused on the inappropriateness of the
use for the area and its lack of benefits
to the community in terms of jobs and
revenues.
The two-step
process is consistent with Ordinance 6925 adopted by the
City Council, in that it allows for
expansion of existing self-storage facilities
under the non-conforming provisions of the
Zoning Code. Under this
process, the self-storage expansion will
involve first a PD amendment to
modify the PD site plan and then a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to review
the expansion of the self-storage as a
non-conforming use. In essence, the
use will remain as a non-conforming
use. The two-step process presented to
the Commission is now staff's
recommendation to the City Council.
Recommendation of Design Commission: The
Design Commission
reviewed the proposed amendment at its
meeting of July 12, 2004 and
recommends City Council approval of the
setbacks, heights, and other
design-related standards for the PD-11
amendment and acknowledged that
the proposed new construction, including
architectural design will be reviewed
by the Design Commission when the City
receives applications to entitle the
new construction.
