RESOLUTION NO. 00 -3843
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY
ADOPTING THE HOUSING ELEMENT 2000 UPDATE (GENERAL PLAN
AMENDMENT 00 -1)
The City Council of the City of Temple City does hereby resolve:
WHEREAS, the State mandates that cities periodically
update their Housing Element; and
WHEREAS, housing is an issue of communitywide and statewide concern; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has conducted a public hearing and has extensively discussed various
housing - related measures; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered input from the Planning Commission relative to some
planning and housing - related matters;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TEMPLE CITY FINDS THAT:
SECTION 1. There are significant housing opportunities within the City based upon the
extensive amount of 11-2 and 11-3 zoned properties which allow development at ample densities to ensure
affordability. Furthermore, development criteria in all residential zones, including R -1, allow for new
construction which is more spacious and can easily accommodate increased occupancies.
SECTION 2. If all under- developed properties were developed to the maximum build -out, an
ample number of dwelling units, albeit market -rate housing, would be produced to meet the numerical
targets established by SCAG's Regional Housing Needs Assessment.
SECTION 3. The City is, for all practical purposes, fully developed, and housing opportunities
are limited by virtue of the limited amount of vacant land and limited local resources.
SECTION 4. As a more mature community in Southern California, it is imperative that Temple
City control growth and development so as to be within the constraints posed by the City's aging
infrastructure and limited resources.
SECTION 5. The City recognizes the regional need for affordable housing and within its ability
encourages housing to accommodate a broad spectrum of need. However, the City must
recognize existing constraints and resources and must carefully establish priorities on a communitywide
basis.
SECTION 6. The City will continue to review housing opportunities within the community and
strive toward achieving regional and state mandates, subject to local constraints and local housing
opportunities.
SECTION 7. This project should not result in significant effects upon the environment, and a
Negative Declaration has been prepared in accordance with the State CEQA Guidelines. The initial
statement as prepared indicates there is no potential for adverse impact to the environment as it relates
to all wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities, including the habitat
upon which the wildlife depends for its continued viability.
Resolution No. 00 -3843
2000.
SECTION 8. The Planning Commission recommends adoption of the Updated Housing Element
SECTION 9. The Updated Housing Element to General Plan Amendment 00 -1 is hereby adopted
based upon the above - enumerated fmdings.
SECTION 10. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter
