RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENTS
City Manager
12.
REQUEST TO CONSIDER INITIATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE SOUTH FAIR OAKS
SPECIFIC PLAN
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the focused amendment study proposed in the
agenda report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (Feasibility and
Planning Studies); and
(2) Pursuant to Pasadena Municipal Code Section 17.74.030,
initiate an amendment to the South Fair Oaks Specific Plan and related
sections of the Zoning Code, Zoning Map and General Plan to permit
residential uses west of Fair Oaks Avenue and north of Hurlbut Street.
Planning Commission Recommendation:
At its regular meeting on Wednesday, March 10, 2010, the Planning Commission
expressed support for Regency Park Senior Living, Inc’s request that the
City Council initiate a review of South Fair Oaks Specific Plan. The
requested amendments would allow the development of senior housing at
909-915 South Fair Oaks Avenue. The Commission acknowledged that
senior housing is an increasingly critical need in Pasadena, that Huntington
Hospital supports the location of senior housing facilities in close
proximity to its campus, and that the applicant has already proven itself
capable of developing, constructing, and operating a high quality facility
in the immediate area. These factors, as well as the 12-year time span
since the Specific Plan’s adoption and the underutilized status of the
subject site, contributed to the Planning Commission’s support for
initiation of a limited review of the Specific Plan based on the application
for development of senior housing that has been submitted to the City.
The Commission stipulated that this
recommendation should not change the order of comprehensive specific plan
reviews outlined in the Planning & Development Department’s existing work
plan or affect the General Plan update schedule.
