PUBLIC
HEARING:
ADOPTION OF A ZONE CHANGE TO DESIGNATE A LANDMARK DISTRICT OVERLAY FOR THE
GLEN SUMMER LANDMARK DISTRICT (LD-22)
Recommendation:
(1) Find that the application for a zone change to create
a landmark district is categorically exempt from environmental review
pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA),
(Section 15308: Class 8, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of
the Environment);
(2) Find the proposed Glen Summer Landmark District meets
the criteria for designation as a Landmark District as specified in Section
17.62.040(F) of the Pasadena Municipal Code;
(3) Approve the landmark district designation and the
zoning map overlay for the Glen Summer Landmark District, LD-22; and
(4) Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance
within 60 days amending the official zoning map of the City of Pasadena
established by Section 17.20.020 of the Pasadena Municipal Code to designate
the landmark district with the LD-22 Overlay Zone.
Recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission: On May 19,
2015, the Historic Preservation Commission determined that the proposed Glen
Summer Landmark District, with one property excluded (45 Glen Summer Road)
meets the criteria for designation in Section 17.62.040(F) of the Pasadena
Municipal Code (PMC) and unanimously recommended approval of the
designation. In preparation for the subsequent Planning
Commission review of the application, staff identified an error in its
calculations of contributing and non-contributing properties and prepared a
revised calculation and inventory of contributing and non-contributing
properties. These revisions were presented to the Historic
Preservation Commission on July 21, 2015 and the Commission expressed
support of the revised calculations and the inclusion of 45 Glen Summer Road
in the district boundary.
Recommendation of the Planning Commission: At a public
hearing on July 22, 2015, the Planning Commission found that the proposed
zone change to create a landmark district is consistent with the General
Plan and the purposes of the zoning code, certified the final petition with
the signatures from at least 51 percent of the property owners and voted 6-0
to recommend that the City Council approve designation of the Glen Summer
Landmark District.
