PROJECT (CIP) NO. P10-05
The Civic Center building was built in 1952 and is showing signs of wear. To

project is being executed as a multi-prime project, which means City staff is

phases of construction.

as completed, authorize full payment less 5% retention, and authorize release
of retention payment within 35 days after recordation of project with Los
Angeles County as complete for the City Council Chamber Renovation

removal as part of the City Council Chamber renovation;

8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS – None
9. NEW BUSINESS
A. INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 13-980, AN
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE E (“SITE PLAN REVIEW AND CONGESTION
MANAGEMENT”) OF CHAPTER 1 (“ZONING CODE”) OF TITLE 9 (“ZONING
REGULATIONS”) OF THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE A
DISCRETIONARY SITE PLAN REVIEW PROCESS
Currently all new construction in the City requires approval of a site plan
review. The site plan review process is a ministerial process that requires
planning staff to approve all projects that meet the City’s minimum
development standards, which are contained in the City’s Zoning Code. This
process does not allow for any public input or environmental review,
regardless of the size of a project. Provided the proposed project meets
minimum zoning and building requirements, staff has no authority to use its
discretion to modify or condition projects to reduce impacts to, or ensure
compatibility with, surrounding properties. This process was established with
the incorporation of the City and has never been changed.
The proposed ordinance will provide an opportunity for public input and
environmental review to ensure that new development is compatible with the
surrounding community. Additionally, the proposed ordinance will allow
projects to be conditioned to reduce impacts to the environment and
neighboring properties. Staff is requesting the City Council to introduce
Ordinance No. 13-890 and schedule the second reading of the ordinance for
October 15, 2013.
Recommendation: Introduce Ordinance No. 13-980 for first reading
by title only; waive further reading of Ordinance
No. 13-980; and schedule the second reading of
the Ordinance for October 15, 2013.
