AN UNCODIFIED ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASADENA EXTENDING
CERTAIN LAND USE RELATED DEADLINES FOR ENTITLEMENTS GRANTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17 (ZONING CODE) AND TITLE 16 (SUBDIVISIONS) WHEREAS, on March 30, 2020, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 9774 which ratified the Third Supplement to the Declaration of Local Emergency Authorizing the City Manager to Suspend Limits to Time Imposed by the Pasadena Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to that authority, the City Manager approved a Suspension of Certain Time Limits Imposed by the Pasadena Municipal Code related to land use matters approved prior to July 1, 2020, which had the effect of extending such permits by an additional 12 to 24 months, which time has now passed; and WHEREAS, on March 5, 2023, the Pasadena Public Health Department terminated the local public health emergency for COVID-19 which granted the authority to suspend time limits in the municipal code; and
WHEREAS, even with the extension provided above, the City of Pasadena recognizes that the local economy and investors in the City continue to face economic uncertainty due to lingering post-pandemic challenges such as supply chain issues, labor shortages, and dramatic increases in construction costs, as well as interest rates which have been repeatedly risen to combat inflation arguably fueled by pandemic-era injections of cash into the economy; and
NOW THEREFORE, the People of the City of Pasadena ordain as follows:
SECTION 1. Land use related deadlines for active entitlements granted as of the date that the ordinance is in effect, that have previously been granted all applicable entitlement extensions, in compliance with Pasadena Municipal Code, Title 17 (Zoning Code) and Title 16 (Subdivisions), are extended by 24 months, as shown in Exhibit 1, attached hereto, and incorporated by this reference.
