3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS-None
4. NEW BUSINESS
A. The Planning Commission approved a request to allow a Tentative Tract Map
for a six-unit subdivision with a private street. The total land area is 57,240
square feet and the average size of each lot is approximately 8,000 square
feet. The private street is designed as a cul-de-sac. This project is in
conformance with the City's Low Impact Development (LID) requirement and
meets all R-1 Zoned standards. The site is designated for low density by the
City's General Plan.
B. The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve an
amendment to the Temple City Municipal Code and Downtown Specific Plan
to require a Conditional Use Permit for medical offices and related uses as
recommended by the City Council Code Review Committee. In 2009
Governor Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill 731 (SB 731) which requires
massage establishments to be treated as a regular business. Massage has
since been determined to be categorized as a medical use. SB 731 has not
affected Temple City until surrounding cities placed moratoriums on
massage establishments due to oversaturation. The purpose of the above
request is to deter additional stand alone massage establishments. Staffs
intent is to use the abovementioned proposed code amendment as a
temporary tool until a permanent ordinance regarding massage and related
uses is in place.
