PUBLIC HEARING: EXTENSION OF INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 7256 OF
THE CITY OF PASADENA TEMPORARILY LIMITING DEMOLITION AND CONSTRUCTION IN THE
LOWER HASTINGS RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the
proposed extension 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 there is a current and immediate threat to public
health, safety, and welfare, pursuant to the standards and polices 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, as
discussed in Ordinance No. 7256, 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
(3) Adopt an urgency ordinance extending Ordinance No. 7256 to
March 4, 2016.

(2) Adopt a resolution adopting a Statement of Overriding

(8) Direct the City Clerk to file a Notice of Determination

Recommendation of Planning Commission: On February 25, 2015,
the Planning Commission held a public hearing, and recommended to certify
the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR), adopt the Findings for the
Zoning Map Amendment, adopt the Conditions of Approval for the Planned
Development, and approve the Development Agreement for the project located
at 100 West Walnut Avenue by unanimous (8-0) vote.
The Planning Commission conducted public hearings on January 14, 2015 and
February 25, 2015. At the January 14, 2015 Planning Commission
meeting, the Planning Commission received a staff report, opened the public
hearing, discussed the project, and continued the public hearing to its next
meeting. Specifically, the Commission received information, and
discussed the FEIR and proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
the proposed Zone Change from CD-1 to PD 34, the Planned Development, and
proposed Findings and Conditions of Approval. In addition, the
Commission received two letters regarding the project, one from the
Applicant, and one from the Downtown Pasadena Neighborhood Association.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Commission directed staff to review
and analyze the letters, and continued the public hearing, pending
completion of the proposed Development Agreement.
At the February 25, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, the Planning
Commission received a staff report, and discussed the project further,
focusing the discussion on the proposed Development Agreement and deal
points. The motion to approve included four modifications to the
project and the Development Agreement:
1)
Elimination of Condition of Approval No. 68 at the request of the Department
of Transportation,
2)
Elimination of Section 10.I. of the Development Agreement committing the
applicant to satisfy the City’s Inclusionary Housing requirement through
payment of the in-
lieu fee,
3) Specifying
the length of the Development Agreement as a 15-year term with a 5-year
option that is contingent upon the commencement of Phase 1 of the project,
and
4) A clean-up
of conflicting language regarding the Rose Bowl Event parking obligations.
