15.   CONSIDERATION OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA TEMPORARILY LIMITING DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION IN THE LOWER HASTINGS RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD, AND OPTIONS FOR INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCES TO PROTECT OTHER NON-HILLSIDE AND NON-HISTORIC PROPERTIES ZONED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL, INCLUDING PROPERTIES ALONG GLEN SUMMER ROAD
Recommendation:
(1)   Find that the proposed interim ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 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;
(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 is necessary to preserve the established and potentially historic neighborhood character of the Neighborhood Overlay District, and that there has been a change in circumstances since the adoption of interim urgency Ordinance No. 6380, in that the homes in the Neighborhood Overlay District not only contribute to a consistent neighborhood character, but may also be eligible for designation for historic significance; and
(4)   Adopt an interim urgency ordinance for the Lower Hastings Ranch Neighborhood temporarily prohibiting the following: demolition of more than 50 percent of exterior walls of a structure; second-story development or second-story additions of any size; a single-story addition to a dwelling unit that increases the gross floor area by more than 500 square feet or 20 percent of the existing floor area of the primary structure including an attached garage, whichever is greater; and a single-story detached accessory structure that constitutes more than 20 percent of the primary structure’s gross floor area including an attached garage.
