UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A PROPOSED URGENCY ORDINANCE IMPOSING A MORATORIUM ON MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT INCLUDING BOTH CONDOMINIUMS AND APARTMENTS ON R -2 ZONED PROPERTIES ON THE WEST SIDE OF GOLDEN WEST BETWEEN GARIBALDI AND LONGDEN. City Manager Koski provided background information stating that at the City Council regular meeting of December 1, 1987 Planning Commission was asked for a recommendation relative to imposing a moratorium on multiple family residential developments on R -2 zoned properties on the west side of Golden West between Garibaldi and Longden. The purpose of the moratorium was to allow concerned residents in the area an opportu- nity to gather signatures for a petition to rezone the area from R -2 to R -1. The Urgency Ordinance would be in effect for 45 days. The Planning Commission had felt that a moratorium was inadvisable in view of the fact the City has recently updated its General Plan and zoning, and the area has been zoned R -2 for several years. Additionally, there are no current applications pending for multiple family developments in this area and should an application be submitted, the processing time would normally be 6 to 8 weeks. In a related action, the Planning Commission agreed to meet in study session to bring about a consistency in the lot width requirements for apartments and condominiums in the R -2 and R -3 Zones. During Council discussion several issues were brought to point regarding the impact of a possible moratorium or urgency ordinance. The original intent was to prevent the building of any apartment buildings until studies could be completed with reference to the discrepancy of the present lot width requirement of 80' for condo- miniums and 50' for apartments. Charles Martin indi- cated "he is obligated to keep moratoriums to as small an area as possible and for as short amount of time as possible ". The question of impact to existing lots was discussed but due to the lack of enough background information being available at the time of the discus- sion, justification could not be found for either the imposing of a moratorium or urgency ordinance. ►e : 0►8 Council Minutes, December 15, 1987 - Page 3 Councilman Atkins moved to accept the invitation of the Planning Commission for a joint study session with place and time to be coordinated by the City Manager, seconded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried. 7. A. PUBLIC HEARING: APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE TRACT 45892, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 87 -878, VARIANCE (PARKING) 87 -879 AT 10159 LOWER AZUSA ROAD (APPLICANT /OWNER -ROLEX IN- VESTMENT) City Manager Koski provided background information stating that on November 24, 1987 the Planning Commis- sion approved a Tentative Tract Map and Conditional Use Permit to allow the development of eight (8) detached two -story condominiums and a Zone Variance to allow 21 instead of 24 independently accessible off - street park- ing spaces on the subject site. The site is zoned R -2, Light Multiple Residential, and contains a total area of approximately 36,048 square feet or 0.83 acres. Under the density limitations of the Zoning code and General Plan, ten (10) units would be permitted. The proposal involves only eight (8) units and each of these units would be detached to simulate a single family residen- tial development. This proposal meets or exceeds all of the required development standards with the exception of the required number of off - street parking spaces, spe- cifically guest parking. The Zoning Code requires three (3) parking spaces for each condominium unit, two (2) of which must be in a garage. The subject project is eight (8) detached units with two -car garages and driveway aprons which would accommodate parking. If the private driveways are counted as parking spaces, there is a total of 37 spaces provided. The Zoning Code, however, does not provide for tandem parking and, consequently, the spaces available in the private driveways are not counted. The City Council is required by the Zoning Code to act upon all Tentative Tract Map applications. Mayor Gillanders declared the public hearing open and invited anyone wishing to address the City Council on the matter to come forward at this time. As no one else wished to address the City Council on this matter, Councilman Atkins moved to close the public hearing, seconded by Councilman Dennis and unanimously carried. Councilman Dennis moved to approve the Negative Declara- tion,,Conditional Use Permit 87 -878 and Variance 87 -879 at 10159 Lower Azusa Road, seconded by Councilman Swain and unanimously carried. 8. COMMUNICATIONS: A. PASADENA JUNIOR PHILHARMONIC COMMITTEE- Council received a letter from the Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee requesting permission to hang a banner announcing the 1988 Annual Pasadena Showcase House of Design. After discussion, City Council clarified their policy on the hanging of banners in the City streets which limits the permits to local organizations and the promotion of local events. Additionally, they referred the Committee to the Temple City Chamber of Commerce who could help this organization publicize in Temple City through other means. 16 -019 Council Minutes, December 15, 1987 - Page 4 Councilman Dennis moved to deny the request by the Pasadena Junior Philharmonic Committee, seconded by Councilman Froehle and unanimously carried. B. SAN GABRIEL VALLEY TRANSPORTATION ZONE City Council received an update from the County Board of Supervisors regarding the creation of a transportation zone and the proposed formation of a Joint Powers Au- thority. Councilman Dennis moved to receive and file, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. C. TRASH DISPOSAL FROM THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES TO THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY Council received a letter from the County Supervisor Schabarum regarding the disposition of trash from Los Angeles to the BKK Landfill. Councilman Swain indicated that she felt it was neces- sary to make it very clear that the trash currently being brought into the San Gabriel Valley from Los Angeles should not be transported, much less any addi- tional trash and they should be opening up their own landfills which they had closed. She felt it is a very important issue now and will continue to be so. Councilman Swain moved to send a letter of encouragement and support to Sally Tanner, the Foreman of the Grand Jury and Pete Schabarum and a letter of displeasure to the City of Los Angeles, seconded by Councilman Atkins and unanimously carried. 9.
