12.    RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC REDUCTION AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT FEE UPDATE (Transportation Dept.)
         Recommendation
: It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)
     
Find that the actions proposed in the agenda report are statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines
         Section 15273 (Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges);

         (2)
     
Open the public hearing on the recommended Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee update;
         (3)
     
Close the public hearing on the recommended Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee update; and
         (4)
     
After conducting a public hearing on October 27, 2025, conduct first reading on an Ordinance Amending Title 4, Chapter 4.19, Sections 4.19.020, 4.19.040, 4.19.050, and 4.19.060,
         to Update the Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee for Existing Land Use Categories and to add New Land Use Categories to the Fee Structure; and adopt the
         Recommended Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee Update in the Schedule of Taxes, Fees, and Charges.

         City Council Decision and Need for Public Hearing
:
Department of Transportation (DOT) staff presented the methodology and findings of the nexus study,
         as well as staff recommendations to the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) on July 8, 2025. The Committee approved the staff recommendation with an amendment that either no
         fees be assessed for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) (because the fees imposed would be de minimis) or
         that staff provide an alternative recommendation to City Council for ADU fees. Staff revised the recommendations accordingly, to exempt ADUs to 900 square feet or less,
         and to waive the Traffic Reduction and Transportation Improvement Fee (TR/TIF) for ADUs governed by a Housing Agreement. Staff presented the revised recommendations at the
         City Council meeting on July 14, 2025, and the Council approved the recommendations. California Government Code Section 54954.6 states that before adopting any new or increased
         general tax assessment, the City Council must conduct at least one public meeting before the public hearing. While the TR/TIF rates are decreasing for most land uses, the TR/TIF
         rate for one land use (medical office) is increasing compared to the current fee. As such, staff presented the TR/TIF update before the City Council on October 20, 2025. Upon closing the public
         hearing on October 27, 2025, City Council will formally adopt the TR/TIF update through an ordinance. The notice of public meeting for this item was published in the
         Pasadena Press on September 15, September 22, and September 29 of 2025.

         Recommendation of the Transportation Advisory Commission:
DOT staff presented the methodology and findings of the nexus study, as well as staff recommendations, to the
         Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) on March 27, 2025 and at a special meeting on April 14, 2025. The TAC discussed the addition of the new proposed land use categories
         and whether this may encourage or discourage the development of certain types of land uses in the City. The TAC approved the following motion: Support the fees as recommended,
         and urge council to consider if the reallocation of the fee categories may provide better outcomes on future development.

         TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS (TODs), IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW STATE
         LEGISLATION, AND OTHER MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES
(Planning Dept.)
         Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)
        
Find that the Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the
         “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no
         possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA;

         (2)
        
Adopt the Findings for the Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments in Attachment A of the agenda report;
         (3)
        
Approve the Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments as outlined in the agenda report and in Attachment B of the agenda report; and
         (4)
        
Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance for the Zoning Code and Specific Plan Amendments within 120 days consistent with the provisions set forth in the agenda report and in
         Attachment B of the agenda report.

         Recommendation of the Planning Commission:
On August 27, 2025, the Planning Commission voted to recommend the City Council approve the proposed Zoning Code and
         Specific Plan Amendments as recommended by staff, with the following changes:

         (1)    Design Review For new multifamily projects, maintain the existing threshold of 10 units for projects to be reviewed by the Design Commission. Staff supports this recommended change.
         (2)   
Parking
For existing buildings that are greater than 50 years old, do not require additional parking for additions necessary to meet building, safety or fire requirements.
         Staff supports this recommended change.

         Recommendations of the Economic Development & Technology Committee and Design Commission:
On June 18, 2024, staff presented recommended changes to the
         Predevelopment Plan Review (PPR) Section to the Economic Development and Technology Committee. On December 10, 2024, staff presented the recommended changes to the
         Design Review Section to the Design Commission. Both were supportive of the proposed changes.

14.    ADOPTION OF THE FOCUSED LOCAL ROADWAY SAFETY ACTION PLAN AND A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A CITY GOAL OF ZERO TRAFFIC FATALITIES
         AND A REDUCTION IN SERIOUS INJURIES RESULTING FROM TRAFFIC COLLISIONS BY THE YEAR 2035
(Transportation Dept.)
         Recommendation
: It is recommended that the City Council:
         (1)
        
Find that the proposed action in the agenda report is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the
         “Common Sense” exemption that CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment;  

         (2)         Adopt the Final Draft Pasadena Local Roadway Safety Action Plan (LRSAP) as a final document that prioritizes transportation safety projects and identifies a subset of
         City roadways as Safety Corridors; and

         (3)
        
Adopt a resolution establishing a City goal for zero traffic fatalities and a reduction in serious injuries resulting from traffic collisions by 2035.
         Recommendation of the Transportation Advisory Commission:
Department of Transportation (DOT) staff presented the Final Draft Local Roadway Safety Action Plan (LRSAP) to the
         Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) on September 25, 2025. Following a discussion of the plan, TAC unanimously supported the LRSAP, supported the establishment of a goal to
         eliminate traffic fatalities and reduce serious injuries within the City by 2035 and recommended adoption of the LRSAP by City Council.

         Recommendation of the Municipal Services Committee:
City staff presented the Final Draft LRSAP to the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) on October 14, 2025.
         Committee members expressed concerns about the LRSAP setting project prioritization framework Citywide. While the LRSAP priority projects are prioritized based on the selection criteria
         established for SS4A and other similar state and regional program priorities, the LRSAP priority list does not encompass all safety-related projects that are citywide priorities for which other funding
         sources could be pursued. As a result, the committee recommended the report title be changed from LRSAP to Focused LRSAP to reflect the purpose of the grant-specific requirements
         and not replace other City transportation safety priorities, such as the Capital Improvement Program. Additionally, committee members recommended an extension of the project limits of
         previously adopted projects on Washington Boulevard to include the full extent of the corridor. A motion supporting the staff recommendation with the modifications identified above was
        approved by the committee. These recommended changes are reflected in the Focused LRSAP.
