meeting.

Recommendation of the Recreation and Park
Commission
:

On March 5, 2024, the
Recreation and Parks Commission voted unanimously to support the Parks and Landscaping and the Arroyo Projects
sections of the Recommended FY 2025 – 2029 CIP Budget.

Recommendation of the Northwest Commission
:

On March 12,
2024, the Northwest Commission voted unanimously to support the projects located completely or partially in Northwest Pasadena in the
Recommended FY 2025 – 2029 CIP Budget.

Recommendation of the
Transportation Advisory Commission
:

On March 28,
2024, the Transportation Advisory Commission (TAC) voted unanimously to support the
Streets and Streetscapes and the Transportation sections of t he
Recommended FY 2025 – 2029 CIP Budget.

Recommendation of the
Planning Commission
:

On March 27,
2024, the Planning Commission found 20 of the 22 recommended new projects in the Municipal Buildings and Facilities, Streets and
Streetscapes, Transportation,
Parks and Landscaping, Arroyo Projects, Electric System, and Water System sections of the Recommended FY 2025 CIP budget to be consistent with the General Plan. The
Planning Commission made the
following additional recommendations:

1. Lower Arroyo
Parking Lot and Road Enhancements – Feasibility Study project: The Planning Commission did not find this project consistent with the General Plan based on General Plan Policies 2.1 and 2.2
of the Green Space Parks and
Recreation Element (Vote of 5 to 2). The majority of the Planning Commission felt that widening the road would disrupt the natural habitat, and thus, such alternations to the Arroyo is
not in conformance with the
General Plan.

Planning and Community Development Department staff
came to a different conclusion. They found this project to be consistent with the following Green Space, Recreation, and Parks Element and Mobility Element of the General Plan as listed below:

Green Space, Recreation, and Parks Element
·

2.1 (Arroyo Seco Planning) to fully implement all master plans and design guidelines for the Arroyo;
·

2.2 (Balance of Interest in the lower Arroyo Seco) by managing and maintaining the area to balance the natural habitat, recreational needs, and public safety; and
Mobility Element
·

1.32 Implement parking management and enforcement programs to protect residential and commercial areas from spill over parking impacts.

City staff recommends City Council find the Lower
Arroyo Road Enhancements – Feasibility Study project consistent with the General Plan to allow staff to identify possible solutions to the existing safety issue.

The
current road does not allow two cars to pass safely, which creates a safety issue between pedestrians and motor vehicles. The project scope has been modified to remove parking lot enhancements.

2. Brookside Park
Outdoor Basketball and Pickleball Courts – Planning and Design Phase project:

The majority of the Planning Commission found this project consistent with the General Plan if the project is
located in previously developed
and underutilized concrete and asphalt areas within the Central Arroyo (Vote of 5 to 2). The Planning Commission felt that the City should mitigate losing green space.

Planning and Community Development Department staff
came to a different conclusion. They found this project to be consistent with the following Green Space, Recreation, and Parks Element and Land Use Element of the General Plan as listed below:

Green Space, Recreation, and Parks Element
·

8.5 (Recreation Needs) by providing sports fields, recreation facilities, walking, jogging and hiking areas, and recreations programs in quantities and types that generally address the demands of Pasadena
residents and those who work in
Pasadena;
·

14.2 (Sports and Athletics for Youth and Adults) by continuing to provide a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities for Pasadena residents; Land
Use Element
·

2.13 (Parks) to maintain existing and develop new parks and recreational facilities within walking distance of residents, supporting healthy lifestyles.

City staff recommends that the City Council find the
Brookside Park Outdoor Basketball and Pickleball Courts - Planning and Design Phase project consistent with the General Plan to allow staff the flexibility to identify a suitable location for the basketball and pickleball courts. The placement of the courts will be determined based on community input and compatibility with other existing uses to ensure minimal impact to programming and operation of the park. Staff will prioritize the use of previously developed and underutilized concrete and asphalt areas within the Central Arroyo.

3. Street
Paving/Maintenance – The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the City Council give focused consideration to long-term cost effectiveness of the current level of spending on
street maintenance with the
view of developing a long-term strategy for addressing the deteriorating condition of our City streets. In addition, this study should include options to make our streets safer along with the
utilization of environmentally
sustainable materials.

4. Need for Greater
Stormwater Recapture – The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the City Council undertake, prior to next Fiscal Year’s CIP, a more thorough strategic study in
collaboration with the
Metropolitan Water District and other surrounding agencies, of a significantly expanded urban stormwater recapture plan.

5. Public Consensus
on Complete Streets/Active Transportation Strategies – The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that the City Council, through the Department of Transportation,
broaden the conversations of
complete streets and active transportation strategies. They recommend that City staff should continue their active engagement work and look for even greater engagement of the
community on the topics of
mobility and complete streets citywide rather than on a project-by-project approach. Further the outreach should include a clear description of topics to be discussed (i.e., “the speed of
traffic and safety of our
streets”) to facilitate more public engagement on each topic.
