·  
Include an implementation program in the SFOSP related to public-private partnerships for the creation of paseos and publicly accessible open space (Included in the staff recommendation); and

Incorporate language in the SFOSP that would give the review authority the ability to approve limited deviations from development standards not including allowed height setbacks, or tree planting requirements, for commercial
                 properties when it can be clearly demonstrated that compliance with the standards would result in a substantial hardship
(Staff does not recommend that this recommendation be incorporated into the SFOSP)

17.    PUBLIC HEARING: GENERAL PLAN TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE ELEMENT PERTAINING TO DEVELOPMENT CAPACITY POLICIES
         Recommendation
:
 It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)     
Find that the proposed General Plan Text Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it qualifies for Categorical Exemption pursuant to Section 15305 (Class 5 – Minor Alterations in
         Land Use Limitations), and that there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class; therefore, there are no unusual circumstances;

         (2)     
Make the findings for approval of the General Plan Text Amendment as described in Attachment A of the agenda report; and
         (3)     
Adopt a resolution approving the General Plan Text Amendment.
         Recommendation of the Planning Commission
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed General Plan Text Amendment on April 27, 2022.  The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council find that the
         proposed project is exempt from CEQA, and that the City Council make the findings and approve the proposed General Plan Text Amendment as proposed by the Planning and Community Development Department.

18.    PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING CODE AMENDMENT – RELIGIOUS FACILITIES WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING
         Recommendation
:
 It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)
     
Adopt the Addendum to the 2015 Pasadena General Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) along with the EIR, and find that the Addendum properly discloses only minor technical changes or additions to the EIR, and none of
         the conditions triggering a subsequent or supplemental EIR are present, as set forth in State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15164;

         (2)      Make the Findings for Approval for the Zoning Code Amendment; and 
         (3)
     
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the Zoning Code Amendment within 60 days consistent with the provisions set forth in the agenda report.
         Recommendation of the Planning Commission
: On April 27, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the proposed Zoning Code Amendments at publically noticed hearing, and by a vote of 7-2, recommended that the City
         Council approve the proposed Zoning Code Amendment as presented by staff, with the following recommended amendments:

         1.
   
Apply Secretary of Interior standards to all sites that are historically designated or eligible for designation – no exceptions for small projects (included in the staff recommendation);
         2.
   
Require a 55-year covenant for affordable housing, which will apply even if the religious use vacates the site (staff recommends that rental units be subject to an affordability covenant in perpetuity and 45-year covenant for
         ownership units, consistent with the inclusionary housing requirements of Section 17.42.070(C). Both would remain in effect for the specified timeframe, even if the existing religious use vacates the site)
;

         3.
   
Clarify that housing developments may occur on sites with religious facility use as well as adjacent/contiguous sites also owned by the religious institution (included in the staff recommendation);
         4.
   
Clarify the development review process (by right and with Design Review) (included in the staff recommendation);
         5.
   
Clarify that Secretary of Interior standards also apply to noncontributing properties within a historic district (included in the staff recommendation);
         6.
   
Prepare a Constitutional Analysis related to allowing housing on religious institutional sites, and require that housing projects must be developed and operated by an independent nonprofit organization (independent from the
         religious organization) (all housing must comply with state and federal laws); and

         7.
   
Verify that the religious facility is a nonprofit and has owned and operated the site for a minimum of 5 years prior to applying for a residential project (included in the staff recommendation).
