ZONING CODE CLEAN UPS
(Case No. PZC-0004-2023)
WHEREAS, the City Council directed staff on August 23, 2022 to initiate amendments to the Zoning Code to address Improvements to the Design Review and Entitlement Processes and parking requirements for certain uses for the purposes of streamlining existing processes; and
WHEREAS, simultaneous, minor cleanups to miscellaneous zoning-related provisions in Title 30 are necessary; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered, and recommended approval of these amendments to Sections of Title 30 at their February 21, 2024 meeting; BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE:

SECTION 1. Section 30.02.020 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.02.020 Additional permits or approvals may be required.

A. Design standards for lots and parcels of land. The standards of chapter 16.0816.20 of this code shall be applicable to the design of lots and parcels of land when applying the provisions of this title and when considering any application for a procedure prescribed by this code.

B. Denial of building permit until parcel map is approved. Except as otherwise provided in this code, no building permit shall be issued and no building or structure shall be constructed or altered on any land which has been separated in ownership in violation of the provisions of this code until and unless a parcel map has been recorded.

SECTION 2. Section 30.10.070 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:
2 30.10.070 Zoning districts—Regulations.

A. Permitted Primary Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of permitted primary uses and structures contained within each zone regulations is to identify all principal uses and structures that are allowable on a lot within that zone as a matter of right. Subject to the provisions of the zone, except as otherwise provided, no building, structure or land shall be used and no building, structure or use shall be established except the listed permitted primary uses and structures.

B. Permitted Accessory Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of permitted accessory uses and structures contained within each zone regulations is to identify uses and structures that are allowable when they are integrated with and clearly incidental to a primary use on the same lot. All buildings and structures shall conform to the development standards of the zone.

C. Temporary Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of temporary uses and structures is to identify those uses that may be allowable within a given zone for a limited amount of time and under certain specified conditions.

D. Conditional Uses and Structures. The purpose of the sectional listing of conditional uses and structures is to identify those uses and structures which must first obtain permission for their establishment within the zone by a conditional use permit.

The specific conditional uses and structures which are listed are considered to be typical of uses which require individual review as to their particular characteristics and location, and ones that may require special conditions to their establishment in order to protect the health, safety and general welfare.

E. Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any provision in this code to the contrary, any establishment that engages in or carries out any activity contrary to federal, state or local laws shall be prohibited.

F. Development Standards—General. The development standards contained within this title and the various zones have been established in order to assure adequate levels of light, air and density of development, to maintain and enhance locally- recognized values of community appearance and to promote the safe and efficient circulation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The standards are in furtherance of the goals and objectives of the comprehensive general plan and are found to be necessary for the preservation of the community, health, safety and general welfare.

G. Site Requirements—General. The area and dimensions of all building sites shall be sufficient to accommodate the anticipated density of development, open spaces, setbacks and parking spaces.

H. Density. The density of development has been established for each zone in accordance with the comprehensive general plan in order to promote the orderly, efficient and most appropriate growth within the city, consistent with the planned 3 capability of services and infrastructures. Density shall be calculated from the area of the lot before any public right-of-way dedications are made. An accessory dwelling unit and/or junior accessory dwelling unit on a lot developed with single-family or multifamily dwelling unit(s) is deemed a residential use consistent with the existing general plan and zoning designation for the lot, as provided for in the Government Code of the State of California, Section 65852.2.

I. Lot Size. Where minimum lot sizes or dimensions required within the zone standards, they have been established in order to promote the type and scale of development envisioned in the comprehensive general plan. Where existing lots with lesser size and dimensions are existing in a zone, an exception has been made in some zones for such lots when their development would not be harmful to the achievement of the overall goals and objectives of the plan.

J. Coverage. Maximum coverage requirements contained within certain zone standards have been established to provide minimum open spaces for light, air and ventilation and to reserve adequate area for open spaces, setbacks and other amenities. Coverage shall be calculated from the area of the lot after any public right-of- way dedications are made.

K. Height. Height standards are reflective of intensity and scale of development. In order to maintain a sound plan and compatibility with surrounding uses, the structural height of buildings must be regulated and intensities directed to their most appropriate location. Factors taken into consideration in the establishment of height criteria are shade/shadow effects; light, air and ventilation; scenic vistas; and intensity of development and ability to serve.

L. Unit Size. Minimum unit sizes as may be established in the various zones are for the purpose of assuring acceptable living areas, the control of overcrowding and the provision of conditions conducive to a decent, safe and sanitary environment.

M. Setbacks, Open Space and Landscaping Requirements. The purpose of setbacks, open space and landscaping requirements is to assure that an effective separation is provided between properties and uses to foster compatibility, identity, privacy, light, air and ventilation and provide for landscaped areas in the living and working environments for visual relief and recreation. Setbacks and required landscaping shall be calculated from the property lines or area of the lot after any public right-of-way dedications are made.

N. Medical Marijuana Dispensary, Marijuana Dispensary, Marijuana Cultivation, Marijuana Processing, and Delivery or Distribution of Marijuana or Medical Cannabis Products as Prohibited Uses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, a medical marijuana dispensary, marijuana dispensary, marijuana cultivation, marijuana processing, and delivery or distribution of marijuana or medical cannabis products, as these terms are defined in Section 9.10.010, are prohibited in all zones, including all specific plan areas, except where the city is preempted by federal or state 4 law from enacting a prohibition of any such prohibited uses, or is preempted by federal or state law from enforcing any of these prohibitions.

O. Home-Sharing Activities and Vacation Rentals. Home-sharing, as defined in Section 5.56.0305.110.030, is permitted subject to the restrictions in Chapter 5.1105.56.

Vacation rentals, as defined in Section 5.110.0305.56.030, are prohibited in all zones.

SECTION 3. Section 30.11.030 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

SECTION 4. Section 30.11.040 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.11.040 Residential district additional ROS and R1R development standards.

The following standards shall apply in the ROS and R1R zones:

A. Hillside Development Review Policy.

1. Every discretionary decision made by the city council, along with city boards, commissions and administrators related to development in the ROS and R1R zones shall take the following into consideration:
a. Development shall be in keeping with the design objectives in the Glendale Municipal Code, the hillside design guidelines and the landscape Guidelines for hillside development as now adopted and as may be amended from time to time by city council.
b. Development shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of size, scale, bulk/mass, roofline orientation, setbacks, and site layout. 9 c. Site plans shall show preservation of prominent natural features, native vegetation and open space in a manner compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, minimizing alteration of terrain necessary for development. d. Site plans for development of property on steep slopes shall take into account the visual impact on surrounding properties.
e. The architectural style and architectural elements of in-fill development shall be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.

B. Regulations in Primary Ridgeline Areas, Secondary Ridgeline Areas, and Blue-Line Stream Areas. All subdivisions, development, building, construction, and grading in the ROS and R1R zones shall be regulated by
Sections 16.04.03016.08.010, 16.04.03316.08.020 and 16.04.03716.08.030 of this code as related to primary ridgeline areas, secondary ridgeline areas, and blue-line stream areas. Any exception to the standards contained in these sections shall only be made by the planning commission or the city council at a public hearing.

C. Preliminary Schematic Plans Required.

1. A “preliminary schematic plan” shall be required for all tentative tract and tentative parcel map applications located in the ROS and R1R zones pursuant to the requirements of Section 16.12.050 of this code.

2. All buildings and structures in the ROS and R1R zones shall comply with the “preliminary schematic plan” approved in conjunction with any tentative tract or tentative parcel map application, where applicable.

D. Density.

1. The maximum allowable density for any residential subdivision, including parcel maps, for the ROS zone, and excluding parcel maps for the R1R zone, shall depend on the average current slope of the entire area within the project including primary and secondary ridgeline areas and blue-line stream areas. The average current slope of a parcel of land shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 30.70 of this title. The density for property shall be computed in accordance with the following:

Table 30.11-C

S D S D
0—5.0% 3.00 40.1—45.0% 0.96

5.1—10.0% 2.70 45.1—50.0% 0.80

10.1—15.0% 2.42 50.1—52.0% 0.65

15.1—20.0% 2.13 52.1—54.0% 0.60

30.1—35.0% 1.37 58.1—60.0% 0.48

35.1—40.0% 1.15 60.1% or above 0.45
The letters shall have the following significance:

D = Maximum allowable density in dwelling units per gross acre.

S = Average current slope.

In no event shall the density be restricted to less than forty-five hundredths (0.45) dwelling units per acre. When the subdivision covers an area to be developed in more than one (1) unit of area, the first unit of area shall meet the density requirements set forth herein. Each succeeding unit of area, which combined with the prior units of area, shall meet the average density requirements set forth herein.

Where the development is in more than one (1) underlying residential zone, the number of allowable dwelling units must be separately calculated for each portion of the development that is in a separate zone and must then be combined to determine the number of dwelling units allowable in the entire development. The distribution of dwelling units within the development is not to be affected by existing underlying zoning boundaries and the provisions of this section shall control.

While clustering of dwelling units may be desirable to accomplish sensitive development, the net effective density within any portion of the subdivision shall not exceed one and one-half (1½) dwelling units per acre. Net effective density is the density of that area occupied by building envelopes within any portion of the subdivision excluding areas with an average current slope less than thirty (30) percent.

E. Height. No primary building in the R1R and ROS zones shall exceed two (2) stories in height or exceed a height of thirty-two (32) feet pursuant to the definition of height set forth in this title. An additional three (3) feet in height shall be permitted for any roofed area having a minimum roof pitch of three (3) feet vertical in twelve (12) horizontal. An additional story shall be permitted where the primary building is located on a portion of a lot having an average current slope of forty (40) percent (21.8 degrees) or steeper. The portion of a lot to be measured for the purpose of this section shall be the smallest possible polygon, in terms or area, necessary to enclose the primary building and having a maximum of four (4) sides.

F. Open Space. A minimum of forty (40) percent of the site area in the ROS and R1R zones shall be ungraded open space for any lot exceeding an average current slope of thirty (30) percent. In the case of new tentative tract maps, the required open space can be distributed throughout the subdivision.
11 G. Supporting Structures. All supporting structures below enclosed occupiable living spaces or garages which are exposed above the ground surface shall be fully enclosed by walls or suitable construction.

SECTION 10. Section 30.20.040 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:
40 30.20.040 Additional development standards.

A. Density.

1. In any planned residential project, the maximum number of dwelling units for the entire project shall be calculated by the total number of acres or fraction thereof of the project inclusive of public or private streets and areas devoted to common use, and shall not exceed the following:
a. In mountainous terrain as defined in Section 16.40.270 16.08.270 of this code, the maximum allowable density for a planned residential project regardless of underlying zoning shall depend on the average slope of the area within the project. The average current slope of a parcel of land shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of Section 30.70.200 30.70.020(s) of this title.

The density for property shall be computed in accordance with the following formula: D = 3-(SX5.6)
The letters in this formula shall have the following significance: D = Maximum allowable density in dwelling units per acre; S = Average current slope.

In no event shall the density for a planned residential project exceed the density of the underlying zone, and in no event shall the density be restricted to less than forty-five hundredths (0.45) dwelling units per acre. b. In non-mountainous terrain, the maximum allowable density for any planned residential development shall not exceed the following schedule:

2. When the development plan of a planned residential development covers an area to be developed in more than one (1) unit of area, the first unit of area shall meet the density requirements of this section. Each succeeding unit of area when combined with the prior units of area shall meet the average density requirements.

Where the development is in more than one (1) underlying residential zone, the number of allowable dwelling units must be separately calculated for each portion of the development that is in a separate zone and must then be combined to determine the number of dwelling units allowable in the entire development. The 41 distribution of dwelling units within the development is not to be affected by existing underlying zoning boundaries and the provisions of this chapter shall control.

B. Total Open Space.

1. Minimum total open space (including usable open space) shall be established pursuant to the following schedule:

2. All of the total open space shall be reserved for use in perpetuity by the residents of the planned residential development. The residents shall own, as an appurtenance to each dwelling or lot, an undivided interest in all open spaces and facilities except those private yard areas required in Section 30.20.040(B)(l) and 30.20.040(C)(1). Council may require that open space easements indicated in any planned residential development be conveyed to the city. Total “open space” may be improved or that portion not required as usable open space may be left in its natural state, particularly if natural features worthy of preservation exist on the site. The owners of interest shall be responsible for the maintenance of all such open space left in its natural state and shall so maintain such areas so that at no time will they constitute a health, safety, fire or flood menace to the community.

3. When the development plan of a planned residential development covers an area to be developed in more than one unit of area, the first unit of area shall meet the minimum total and usable open space requirements of this section. Each succeeding unit of area when combined with the prior units of area shall meet the average total and usable open space requirements of this section.

C. Usable Open Space.

1. In the development of any planned residential development, the following schedule shall be adhered to in relating the required usable open space to the number of dwelling units proposed to be constructed per residential zone:

2. As a portion of the usable open space in the PRD-ROS, PRD-R1R, PRD-R1 and PRD-R-3050 residential zones, there shall be provided for each dwelling unit, at ground level and adjacent thereto, a separate private yard or yards with an average overall finished grade not exceeding five (5) percent and a total area of at least four hundred (400) square feet, of which at least one hundred (100) square feet shall be screened from public view.

3. As a portion of the usable open space in all other residential zones, there shall be provided for each dwelling unit, at ground level and adjacent thereto, a separate private yard or yards with an overall finished grade not exceeding five (5) percent and a total area of at least one hundred (100) square feet, and such yard shall be screened from public view.

4. All usable open space areas shall be provided with watering devices adequate to maintain such areas. The council, in reviewing any precise plan, may disapprove any area designating usable open space where there are physical obstructions or hazards detrimental to the safety of the public.

D. Maintenance of Total Open Space. In the event that the organization or association established to own and maintain the total open space shall at any time after establishment of the planned residential development fail to maintain, as determined by the director of community development, the total open space in reasonable order and condition in accordance with the approved plan, the council may serve written notice upon the owners of interest therein setting forth the manner in which the organization has failed to maintain the total open space. Said notice shall include a demand that such deficiencies of maintenance be remedied within thirty (30) days thereof and shall state the date and place of a hearing before the city council therein which shall be held within fourteen (14) days of the notice. At such hearing the city council may modify the terms of the original notice as to the deficiencies and may give an extension of time within which they shall be remedied. If the deficiencies set forth in the original notice or in the modifications thereof shall not be remedied within said thirty (30) days or any extension thereof, the city, in order to preserve the taxable values of the properties within the planned residential development and to prevent the total open space from becoming a public nuisance, may enter upon said total open space and maintain the same for a period of not to exceed one (1) year. Said entry and maintenance shall not vest in the public any rights to use the total open space except when the same is voluntarily dedicated to the public by the owners and accepted by the city. Before the 43 expiration of said year, the city council shall, upon its initiative or upon the request of the organization theretofore responsible for the maintenance of the total open space, call a public hearing upon notice to such organization or to the owners of interest of the planned residential development. Said hearing shall be held by the city council, at which hearing such organization or the owners of interest of the planned residential development shall show cause why such maintenance by the city shall not continue. If the city council shall determine that such organization is ready and able to maintain said total open space in reasonable condition, the city council shall cease to maintain said total open space. If the city council shall determine that said organization is not ready, willing or able to maintain the total open space in a good, clean and safe condition, the city council may, in its discretion, continue to maintain said space subject to a similar hearing and determination. The cost of such maintenance by the city shall be assessed ratably against the properties within the planned residential development and shall become a lien on said properties. The city, at the time of entering upon said total open space for the purpose of maintenance, shall file a notice of such lien in the office of the county recorder upon the properties affected by such lien within the planned residential development.

E. Architectural Design. Architectural treatments on all exterior walls of any building shall be so designed to avoid a monotonous or continuous facade of the exterior wall.

The director of community development may require changes in materials, height, projections in the vertical or horizontal plane or other such facade changes as may be necessary. In no event shall the front and rear facade of any building be in one (1) continuous vertical or horizontal plane.

F. Slopes. All cut slopes in excess of fifteen (15) feet in height shall utilize the saw- tooth method of grading with three (3) feet by three (3) feet benching techniques wherever feasible and all slopes shall be rounded to meet existing natural slope.

G. Soil Testing. The soil conditions in any proposed subdivision shall be analyzed by a recognized testing laboratory approved by the city engineer and the results thereof shall be submitted to him. The city engineer shall instruct the testing laboratory as to location and number of soil tests required and the laboratory’s report shall contain recommendations for pavement design and safe soil-bearing values for footings, etc. If the city engineer has professional reasons to believe that the report is inadequate or incomplete, he may reject any recommendation of the laboratory subject to further study or test. All costs in connection with the soil test shall be borne by the subdivider.

H. Water Systems. Water systems shall be designed to provide a sufficient amount of water to meet the firefighting requirements of the area involved as well as domestic water source. The fire chief shall review locations for proposed fire hydrant systems and they shall be in conformance with the National Board of Fire Underwriters Standards. In areas where there will be a potential fire hazard, easy, unobstructed access for fire equipment shall be provided. The fire chief shall recommend to the planning commission the location of fire road easements and firebreaks when needed. 44 I. Streets.

1. All streets in any planned residential development shall be dedicated for public use unless otherwise approved by the council. It shall be the responsibility of the owner, developer or applicant to justify the necessity or desirability of private streets within the development, which streets shall be required to be designed by a civil engineer to the city of Glendale standards and shall conform to the width, grade, alignment, structural section, and turn around features which are standard for the city. Any proposal for private streets shall include a maintenance plan to be approved by the director of public works.

2. Requirements related to streets shall be as specified in Title 16 of this code.

J. Improvements and Dedications.

1. Where any land is to be conveyed for a public use, a guarantee of title issued by a title insurance company in the name of the city of Glendale and at the expense of the landowner of the land being conveyed to or for the benefit and protection of the city of Glendale showing all parties whose consent is necessary and the nature of their interest therein, shall be filed with the conveyances of said land to the city of Glendale.

2. Where public improvements are to be constructed or where improvements are to be made upon lands to be conveyed to the city of Glendale, the landowner shall execute and file an agreement between himself and the city providing for the installation of such improvements based on the city engineer’s estimate of the landowner’s costs and expenses in accordance with the approved development schedule contained in the precise plan. This agreement shall be accompanied by a faithful performance bond in the amount of one hundred (100) percent of the city engineer’s estimate. Such improvement agreement and performance security provided for herein shall be considered in like manner as are requirements upon improvement agreements and faithful performance bonds under regulations for subdivisions in the city of Glendale. Such improvement agreement and faithful performance bond shall also include and cover the installation of landscaping and planting as required by an approved plan thereof whether such landscaping and planting shall be upon public or private lands. Where public improvements are installed prior to any conveyance to the city, all work shall be inspected by the city as to conformity with “Standard Specifications Public Works Construction 1976 Edition” and “The City of Glendale, Specifications, General Conditions” and include the latest revisions and supplements thereto as adopted by the city council and no faithful performance bond deposit need be provided.

K. Parking.

1. All parking and loading areas and vehicle accessways shall be in compliance with the provisions of Chapter 30.32 of this title.
45 2. For common recreational facilities and any nonresidential uses, adequate additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided to handle the contemplated use of the facilities of the development.

3. The development plan and the precise plan shall designate the specific locations of guest parking facilities and the commission may recommend and the city council may require alternate locations for guest parking.

Additions of floor area up to twenty-five (25) percent of a designated to a historic resource on listed in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources, identified as a contributor to a pending or designated historic district, or identified as eligible for listing in the Glendale Register of Historic Resources in a historic resource survey adopted and approved by the City Council shall not require the expansion, modification or other alteration of an existing garage or carport, or the construction of a new garage to provide code compliant parking be exempt from the requirements of this subsectionwhen the garage or carport on the property is identified by the Director of Community Development as a significant original or early feature of that property. Additional parking shall be provided only for the floor area being added which exceeds a twenty-five (25) percent increase.

5. Addition of floor area where only one (1) residential dwelling unit exists on a lot. Additions of floor area on a lot where only one (1) residential dwelling unit exists shall be exempt from the requirements of this subsection. 47 56. Change of use, generally. When the use of a building changes to a use that is required by Section 30.32.050 to have the same number of parking spaces as the immediately previous use, no additional parking spaces shall be required for the new use, regardless of the number of spaces actually provided by the previous use, provided that the previous use was legally established and the number of spaces has not decreased. When a change in use requires more off-street parking than the previous use, additional parking spaces shall be provided equal in number to the difference between the total number of spaces required by the new use and the number of spaces required for the immediately previous use. When a change in use requires less off-street parking than the previous use, no additional parking spaces are required.

C. Change of Use, Exceptions. Upon the change of use of an existing building, or lot, or a portion of a building, or lot, additional parking and loading spaces shall be provided for the new use as required by this chapter over and above the number of parking and loading spaces required by this chapter for the prior use only, with the following exceptions:

1. Change of use in a historic resource. Any change of use permitted in a historic resource shall not be required to provide additional parking to that legally required prior to the change of use.

2. Change of use in a space under five thousand (5,000) square feet in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet in all other zones (this rule only applies if there is a zoning use certificate, certificate of use and occupancy or business registration certificate on file for a use/uses that exists at the time of the proposed change of use). The occupancy in any tenant space of less than five thousand (5,000) square feet in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet in all other zones, may be interchanged among the following land uses, and any use not listed where the parking ratio for the existing use and the proposed use are the same, without the need to provide additional parking beyond that currently provided on-site or in covenanted off-site spaces provided that the final total gross floor area does not exceed five thousand (5,000) square feet in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet in all other zones. For new buildings and structures, uses must be established with a valid business registration certificate for a minimum of one (1) year, from date of issuance. An occupancy that was permitted under this subsection in a space under five thousand (5,000) square feet in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet in all other zones, may not combine with another occupancy to create an occupancy of five thousand (5,000) square feet or more in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet or more in all other zones, without providing the number of parking spaces required by this code. Required parking shall be determined by the last occupancy that did not use this subsection in a space under five thousand (5,000) square feet in the DSP and TOD zones or two thousand (2,000) square feet in all other zones. Parking will be determined by subsection 33.32.030B.5.

3. Change of use in the CR zone. Any proposed change in occupancy in the “CR” commercial retail zone from an office, retail or service use to a “high-intensity general office/service activity use” as defined herein, shall be required to provide parking and loading spaces as would be required for a new use in full compliance with the standards as specified in this chapter.
49 4. Change of use in the DSP zone. When the use of a building changes to an art gallery use, as defined by the DSP, no additional parking is required (See Section 30.32.030B.5.).

5. When the use of a space up to ten thousand (10,000) square feet changes from warehousing to manufacturing, no additional parking is required. For new buildings and structures, uses must be established with a valid business registration certificate for a minimum of one (1) year, from the date of issuance.

D. Maintenance of Required Parking. All off-street parking and loading spaces being maintained in connection with any existing main building, structure or use on October 22, 1952 and all parking spaces subsequently required by the zoning ordinance for any building, structure or use shall be maintained as long as said building, structure or use remains, unless an equivalent number of parking and loading spaces is provided conforming to the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that this regulation shall not require the maintenance of more parking spaces than are herein required for a new building, structure or use. The director of community development may grant an administrative exception pursuant to Section 30.44.020 for the alteration of an existing parking facility to increase the number of parking spaces, where that facility is non- conforming as regards the number of parking spaces, when said alteration may create, continue or exacerbate a non-conformity regarding parking design standards, when, in the opinion of the director of community development, the benefits of the increased number of parking spaces outweighs the impacts of the non-conformity regarding parking design standards.

E. Mixed Use Sites. A site with multiple tenants shall provide the aggregate number of parking spaces required by this chapter for each separate use, except where a reduction of parking is allowed by the reviewing authority in compliance with Section 30.32.080 (reduction of off-street parking requirements). Rounding of quantities of parking spaces shall be done in accordance with Section 30.32.060B.

SECTION 13. Section 30.32.060 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.32.060 Computation of required parking and loading spaces.

A. Uses Not Listed. Parking for land uses not specifically listed in Section 30.32.050 shall be provided based on a similar use provided in Table 30.32-A, as determined by the director of community development.

B. Rounding of Quantities. In computation of the total parking and loading spaces required for any building site or parking facility, fractional spaces shall be rounded off to the nearest whole number; fractions of five-tenths (0.5) or more being counted as one (1) full space. For sites with multiple non-residential occupants, the total amount of parking required shall be calculated by adding the required parking for all non- residential occupants, including fractional spaces, and the sum rounded to the nearest 50 whole number. Guest parking spaces shall be rounded separately from the parking spaces required for the dwelling units themselves.

C. Calculations.

1. Where fixed seats provided are either benches or bleachers, such seats shall be constructed to be not more than twenty (20) lineal inches each.

2. In computation of parking space requirements, dens, studies, mezzanines, or other similar rooms which may be used as bedrooms shall be considered as bedrooms.

3. In computation of parking space requirements for industrial uses, mezzanines, as defined by the Glendale Building and Safety Code and used exclusively for storage, shall not be considered floor area.

4. In computation of assembly areas, all rooms or areas that can be logically and reasonably used for seating, in addition to any fixed seating area, shall be calculated in determining the parking requirement. Only those areas clearly not usable for assembly purposes shall be omitted for parking calculations (i.e. hallways, restrooms, small offices, reasonable aisle widths, etc.). Hallways and aisles should be generally consistent with all building and fire codes and may not be excessively wide to avoid compliance with parking requirements.

5. In computation of parking requirements for outdoor dining areas that are not located in the public right-of-way, the following shall apply:

The standards of this subsection shall apply to the following uses:
• Banquet halls
• Golf courses, country clubs, driving ranges and related facilities • Nightclubs
• Restaurants, counter service with limited seating • Restaurants, fast food
• Restaurants, full service
• Taverns
The city’s intent is to substantially enliven the pedestrian experience with outdoor dining. Parking need not be provided for any outdoor dining area which substantially abuts a public sidewalk. For purposes of this subsection only, said 51 outdoor dining shall either have a longer dimension along a street property line than its depth into the lot, or the outdoor dining area shall have a minimum twenty (20) foot frontage at the street property line. The outdoor dining area at the street may have a roof which consists of a flexible material such as canvas or vinyl over a frame or may have no roof.

Such an outdoor dining area may have a fence or wall at or parallel to the street property line if it is built of rigid materials such as block, stucco or glass and if there is a minimum of a two-foot vertical separation between the top of the fence or wall and the lower of the adjacent roof or soffit, and if the portion of the fence/wall area over forty-two (42) inches is more than seventy-five (75) percent clear and visually transparent (i.e., not made of opaque, tinted or etched glass or other similar materials or obstructed by landscaping) from the sidewalk. A wall or fence which is no higher than forty-two (42) inches need not be clear or transparent and may be one hundred (100) percent solid.

For all outdoor dining areas not located or designed so as to substantially enliven the pedestrian experience, as detailed above, parking must be provided at regular requirements for each use as defined in Chapter 30.70—Definitions and required in Section 30.32.050.

6. In computation of parking space requirements for vehicle sales, leasing and rental agencies, parking structures used exclusively for vehicle inventory, shall not be considered floor area for parking purposes. Any area of a parking structure that is not exclusively used for vehicle inventory shall be calculated at the vehicle sales, leasing and rental agencies parking requirement.

IJ. The review and approval of plans and proposals by the review authority is intended to ensure that buildings and structures are designed and located in a manner that will satisfy the purpose and intent of design review and the standards herein set forth.

1. Review of plans and conditions of approval. The review authority may impose conditions related to site planning, design, general layout, and appearance.

For any project where the property has an average current slope exceeding fifty 68 (50) percent, or where the project grading will exceed one thousand five hundred (1,500) cubic yards, the review authority may impose conditions to address impacts related to construction and grading, including, but not limited to, haul routes, protection of indigenous trees and requirements and conditions of approval of any city department that are reasonably related to the public health, safety or welfare.

The review authority shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the design of the project. The review authority shall not have the authority to require full working drawings. In the event of denial, the review authority shall specify those areas in which the project fails to comply with the provisions of this title.

Notwithstanding any provision of Title 30, the review authority shall have the authority to impose conditions in order to ensure compatibility with surrounding development in terms of size, scale, bulk/mass, roofline orientation, setbacks, and site layout. Regarding privacy, access to natural light, and placement of windows, the review authority shall consider alternative arrangement of windows or building massing or site layout to avoid conflicting relationships to adjacent buildings, structures, improvements and uses; for these reasons alone, however, the review authority shall not reduce the size or scale of a project or shall not prohibit construction with a reasonable number or size of windows in a new or remodeled building, or an addition thereto. The review authority is not required to review plans that are not in reasonable conformance with the provisions of this title unless applications for appropriate discretionary permits are pending. The director of community development is authorized to withhold plans from the review authority when such plans are in violation of the provisions of this title and the required redesign would have a substantial effect on the appearance of the project, or are otherwise not in substantial conformance with relevant adopted design guidelines.

Notwithstanding the above, the review authority shall have authority to impose conditions for sign programs in the DSP zone or for vehicle sales, leasing and rental agencies in the CA zoning district, as applicable, according to Section 30.33.220 in order to ensure compatibility with surrounding development, size, scale, bulk/mass, setbacks and site layout. The review authority is not required to review plans that are not in reasonable conformance with provisions of this title. The review authority shall approve, approve with conditions or deny sign programs as applicable.

2. Changes to projects/plans. Upon request of the applicant, the review authority shall have the authority to modify its previous actions. The review authority, as applicable, may delegate authority to the director of community development for review and approval of minor changes, and to approve resubmitted plans with modifications or changes provided such modifications or changes are in substantial conformance with plans and conditions approved by the review authority, in keeping with the architectural style of the building or structure, and consistent with the objectives of this code, any applicable design guidelines, and conditions of approval.
69 When changes to projects approved by the review authority occur at project sites during the course of construction, the director of community development has the authority for review and approval of minor design changes that are in substantial conformance with plans and conditions approved by the review authority, in keeping with the architectural style of the building or structure, and consistent with the objectives of this code, any applicable design guidelines, and conditions of approval. Other design changes shall be presented to the review authority for their consideration. The review authority may then approve or deny any changes. The poster-size sign on the property in question that is normally required for design review cases by Section 30.61.010 shall not be a requirement for public notice purposes in these cases.

Projects that do not conform to designs approved by a review authority and/or the planning division of the community development department shall be deemed to be in violation of this code.

The director of community development shall have the authority to modify approved landscape plans when modifications are consistent with California-friendly plantings or California-friendly landscaping as defined in Section 13.36.040 of this code.

3. Building permit plan check and conformance with design review. Except as provided herein or authorized by the director of community development, no building permit plan check application shall be accepted for a project which requires design review unless said plans are in conformance with plans approved and any conditions imposed by the review authority. Upon application for any design review consideration, a building permit plan check application may be accepted for a nonresidential project which requires design review prior to final action by the review authority if the review authority authorizes proceeding to building plan check during the public comment period for the environmental documentation of a project.

Plans are in conformance with plans approved and any conditions imposed by the review authority if they comply in all material respects with all plans submitted and approved as part of the design review including, but not limited to, the site plan and all elevations as to all matters regulated by this chapter, including, without limitation, site layout and planning (which shall include location of primary and accessory structures), design, architectural style and treatments, appearance, size, scale, bulk/mass, roofline orientation, and setbacks.

SECTION 20. Section 30.60.040 of the Glendale Municipal Code, 1995 is hereby amended to read as follows:

30.60.040 Nonconforming buildings, structures, walls, fences, and parking spaces.

The following provisions shall be applicable to all nonconforming buildings and structures:

1. A residential building or structure damaged beyond fifty (50) percent of its replacement cost may be rebuilt in substantially the same manner and to the same square footage as previously existed. Where a residential building or structure or building containing a dwelling unit is being rebuilt, only the number of required parking spaces which were provided at the time of damage or destruction must be provided for the dwelling unit(s) if all of the parking spaces and related driveways and turning aisles are at least as large as those which are being replaced. A building permit must be obtained no later than two (2) years after the actual date of damage or destruction, and the building or structure must be completed pursuant to said permit.

2. Any nonconforming building or structure damaged by natural disaster, accident or fire by fifty (50) percent or less of its replacement cost, as determined by provisions of the Glendale Building and Safety Code, may be repaired.

iii. For purposes of this section, operable doors and windows shall not be calculated as wall area. However, if the entire wall or wall segment, which contains the door and/or window openings, is to be demolished or abandoned in place, then the door and window openings shall be considered demolished or abandoned in place and calculated as wall area.
iv. For purposes of this section, walls or wall segments shall be considered to be all the area of the wall within a plane. Wall segments which are curved shall be calculated as starting and ending at the ends of the curve. v. For purposes of this section, enlargement of window or door openings shall be considered as demolishing the area by which the opening is enlarged.

Diminishment of the area of an opening shall not be considered demolition or voluntary reconstruction unless the entire wall or wall segment, which contains the opening, is to be demolished or abandoned in place.

If more than fifty (50) percent of the combined area of all the exterior walls and roof are replaced or voluntarily reconstructed, then the building loses its nonconforming status and must comply with the current zoning code, except as otherwise provided herein. Exterior wall siding and roof covering material, including sheathing and weatherproofing membrane, shall be allowed to be replaced subject to the Glendale Building and Safety Code as it exists or is hereafter amended and shall not be included in the fifty (50) percent calculation. When an enlargement of floor area occurs, the building or structure must comply with the provisions of Chapter 30.32 of this title as it relates to parking and loading areas.

3. Voluntary reconstruction of a nonconforming structure, as defined in Section

30.70.200, where replacement of the entire structure is necessary for proper maintenance, safety reasons, or to comply with governmental regulations may be permitted where the structure is rebuilt in substantially the same manner, to the same dimensions as before, and with the same materials and design elements.

C. Buildings or structures located in an industrial zone which are used for residential purposes may continue as is until such time as a permitted industrial use is established on the lot, at which time the nonconforming residential use shall be discontinued. 72 D. Any dish antenna for which a building permit has been issued prior to March 7, 1991 shall be removed or brought into conformance with said sections by March 7, 1996. No structural alteration shall be made thereto, unless to preserve the safety of said dish antenna, or to bring the antenna into compliance with Section 30.34.050 E.

1. All walls and fences unlawfully constructed, erected or maintained in a street front setback on or before October 19, 1999, excepting those which may be permitted under chapter 21 of this titleChapter 30.21, shall be removed, abated or legally permitted through a variance or other legal process on or before September 1, 2006, or at the time of sale of the property upon which the wall or fence is located, whichever shall first occur.

2. Notwithstanding the time period outlined in subsection E.1. above, the following walls and fences shall be removed immediately:
a. Those walls or fences constructed in whole or in part of chain-link, barbed wire, razor wire, fiberglass, chicken wire, or those which are deteriorated to the point or condition which requires reconstruction beyond regular maintenance. b.

Minimum number of additional off-street parking spaces required within the IND zoning district (to be provided at a ratio of one (1) parking space for each five hundred (500) square feet of gross floor area): Two (2).

G. A parking space that is nonconforming in terms of size shall continue to be recognized as a parking space provided the space meets the minimum dimensions specified in the Code at the time the spaces became required. Spaces that were provided at a time prior to parking spaces being required in the Code shall be considered as parking spaces provided they are at least eight (8) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet deep. In order to be considered as legal parking, the smallest one-car garage must have minimum interior dimensions of eight (8) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet deep with a minimum eight-foot wide garage door opening and the smallest two-car garage must have minimum interior dimensions of sixteen (16) feet wide by eighteen (18) feet deep with a minimum 16-foot wide garage door opening.
