  B.  CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING:  DESIGNATION OF 361 ADENA STREET
       AS A LANDMARK
       Recommendation of City Manager:  
       (1) Find that the circa 1890 house at 361 Adena Street does not meet the
       criteria for landmark designation in Section 17.62.040(B) of the Pasadena
       Municipal Code because it lacks architectural integrity due to substantial fire
       damage in the 1960's; and because evidence that the property has an
       important association with the lives of a person or persons who may have
       owned or occupied the house is inconclusive. 
       (2) Deny the application for designation of the property as a landmark.

       November 7, 2005, the Historic Preservation Commission voted to

  C.  CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO PLANNED
       DEVELOPMENT-11   (PD-11, FOOTHILL BOULEVARD, CRAIG AVENUE,
       AND WHITE STREET) DISTRICT
       Recommendation of City Manager: It is recommended that the City
       Council, following a public hearing:
       (1) Approve the addendum to the Initial Environmental Study prepared for
       the proposed project and approve the Mitigated Negative Declaration
       (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 amendment to the PD-11 district is consistent
       with the policies and goals of the General Plan and the purposes of Title 17
       as outlined in the agenda report;
       (4) Approve the amendment to the PD-11 (Planned Development-11,
       Foothill Boulevard, Craig Avenue, and White Street) district (Attachment 4 of
       the agenda report);
       (5) 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); and
       (6) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance amending the PD-11
       (Planned Development-11, Foothill Boulevard, Craig Avenue, and White
       Street) district within 60 days.  
       Recommendation of Planning Commission: The Planning Commission
       reviewed the proposed amendment to the PD-11 district at its meeting on
       January 11, 2006, and voted 7-0 with one abstention to not recommend
       staff's recommendation.  The Commission concluded that the project does
       not advance General Plan policies which promote the creation of jobs and
       revenue for the City, and that a preferred future development on the site
       should be a commercial use.  Earlier, in July 2004, the Commission had
       made the same recommendation when considering the original PD
       amendment and 4-story self-storage proposal for this site. 
       Recommendation of Design Commission: The Design Commission
       reviewed the proposed amendment to the PD-11 plan on November 14, 2005
       and recommended approval of the project subject to concept and final design
       review of the new structure by the Design Commission.
