Each house will consist of 3,125 square feet of floor area and an attached three-car garage. Each lot will also construct a 499 square foot detached accessory structure; detached accessory structures over 500 square feet require a conditional use permit.

The three dwellings will be located along the westerly property line with the access driveway on the east, each consisting of four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Each dwelling will have a floor area of 1 ,463 square feet to 1 ,533 square feet.

A CITYWIDE ZONING CODE AMENDMENT TO THE TEMPLE CITY MUNICIPAL CODE TO ADOPT THE WATER EFFICIENT LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE. The Commission recommended that the City Council approve a citywide zoning code amendment to the Temple City Municipal Code to adopt the Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. In 2006, the state passed AB 1881, known as the Water Conservation in Landscaping Act of 2006, which required that a local agency adopt a Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance by City Council February 16, 2016 Page 3 of 3 January 1, 2010, or take the Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) by default. Since the passage of AB 1881, staff had worked on an initiative of developing a local ordinance. After the release of the 2015 MWELO, a number of cities on the San Gabriel Council of Governments (COG) formed a committee to develop a Regional Ordinance or a template for the member cities. The COG committee released the template ordinance in October of 2015 and instructed members to use it for a local ordinance. The proposed Temple City Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance is based on the COG template with minor modifications. 4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS-None 5. NEW BUSINESS-None 6. COMMUNICATIONS-None 7.
