SUBJECT: EXTENSION OF AN INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE PERTAINING TOSB9
TITLE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE
AN EXTENSION OF THE INTERIM URGENCY ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF
PASADENA PERTAINING TO CONSTRUCTION OF MULTIPLE DWELLINGS ON SINGLE-FAMILY ZONED PARCELS PURSUANT TO SENATE BILL 9
PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE
This extension of an interim ordinance protects, within the bounds allowed by Senate Bill 9, Housing development: approvals ("SB 9"), the erosion by the State Legislature of the City of Pasadena's many efforts in recent years to increase housing supply as part of a more holistic community planning strategy, while maintaining the unique character of its established neighborhoods.
REASON WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
This extension is needed to ensure that any development undertaken pursuant to SB 9 does not occur without regulation intended to address the environmental and land use impacts thereof, while staff studies permanent standards.
PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED
The Planning & Community Development Department will implement the proposed ordinance as requests for permits for development on subject single-family lots are sought.
