2 PROBLEM
STATEMENT:
There is a disconnect between local community
college students and the biotech industry due to
the lack of a functional pipeline between the two.
Furthermore, the relationships between biotech
companies and the programs city colleges provide
are successful but do not concentrate on
cementing a pipeline that funnels students to
biotech jobs in the City of Pasadena.
TRAINING and PIPELINE
3 We propose that the City of Pasadena
wo u ld …
1.Identify schools and
Pasadena biotech
companies that would
be ideal participators
2.Pitch the idea to
schools and biotech
companies.
3.Negotiate how many
interviews companies
would guarantee and
what requirements
students would have to
fulfill to be interviewed.
4. Market the partnership:
by placing advertisements
at schools, FWDB (online)
etc.

2. STANDARD PLANS PROGRAM FOR ACCESORY DWELLING UNITS
(ADUs)*
MEMORANDUM
TO: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
FROM: JENNIFER PAIGE, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 18, 2024
SUBJECT: STANDARD PLANS PROGRAM FOR ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS (ADUs)
This memorandum is intended to inform the Economic Development and Technology Committee (EdTech) about the availability of two pre-approved Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) building plans as part of the City’s new ADU Standard Plans Program.
ADU Standard Plans Program:
As part of Pasadena’s ongoing commitment to facilitate the construction of ADUs, the ADU Standard Plans Program was recently launched, offering a gallery of pre-approved ADU plans for homeowners throughout the City. This is further supported by Program #20 of City’s 2021-2029 Housing Element, which discusses fair housing (which calls for need to develop pre-approved ADU building plans to help reduce the cost and time needed to process building permits). Demand to construct ADUs has been high in Pasadena. From 2020 to 2023, 484 ADUs were constructed in the City, with the average size being approximately 600 square feet.
The program is initially offering two plans designed in-house by the City, which are available at no cost. They include a 374 square foot studio ADU and a 682 square foot 2-bedroom ADU. Several more plans will be added to the gallery in the coming months, which will be designed by licensed professionals, providing additional options to residents. Plans offered by licensed professionals will be available for a fee.
All plans featured as part of this program have been pre-approved by the Building and Safety Division, resulting in time-savings in both the design and permitting of an ADU. Note that any modification to pre-approved ADU plans would result in the need for plan check and the plans would no longer be considered pre-approved.
The two plans that are currently available can be downloaded on the City’s ADU Standard Plans Program website.

3. ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR PREDEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW (PPR)*
MEMORANDUM
TO: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
FROM: JENNIFER PAIGE, DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
DATE: JUNE 18, 2024
SUBJECT: ZONING CODE AND ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR PREDEVELOPMENT
PLAN REVIEW (PPR)
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the report and provide direction for staff to update the Zoning Code and Administrative Guidelines for Predevelopment Plan Reviews (PPRs).
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this memo is to provide the Economic Development and Technology Committee (EdTech) with information to update the City’s Zoning Code (Section 17.60.040 –Application Preparation and Filing) and Administrative Guidelines for PPRs. Both were last updated in 2004.
The main objective of PPRs is to achieve better projects through early consultation between City staff and applications. They are informational items only and are not formal applications and do not approve or disapprove projects. The PPR process is typically the first step an applicant follows when pursuing a development project. A PPR application is submitted to the City and routed to different departments and divisions for review and comment. The case manager compiles the comments into one document, which is provided to the applicant. The applicant may elect to use the comments to submit a formal application. The City has received 67 PPR applications from 2019 through 2023 (for an average of 13.4 annually).
While most applicants find the PPR process to be informative, some have expressed concerns that it can delay projects, especially for residential projects and projects of communitywide significance that are presented to the City Council as an informational item. Pasadena’s 2021-2029 Housing Element includes a commitment for the City to look at ways to improve the development review process. This includes Policy HE-2.8 and Program #9, which both discuss the removal of constraints (including the need to streamline the development review process). The 2015 Land Use Element of the Pasadena General Plan also includes Programs C-1 and C-5, which both discuss the entitlement review process (including the need to analyze the efficiency of the process). In addition, the State Legislature has passed several bills reducing the time allowed for cities to review applications and limiting the number of meetings for residential projects. Updating the Zoning Code and Administrative Guidelines for PPRs is one of several efforts the Planning Division is undertaking to simplify the development review process.
Economic Development and Technology Committee June 18, 2024 Zoning Code and Administrative Guidelines for PPRs
UPDATES TO THE ZONING CODE:
As previously noted, the Zoning Code identifies the projects that require a PPR. The table below outlines the recommended changes:
PPR Required – Existing Zoning Code
Proposed Zoning Code
1. Multi-family projects with 10+ units Make optional for multi-family and mixed-use projects
2. Nonresidential projects with 25,000+ SF of
gross floor area (GFA) No change
3. Master Plans or Master Plan Amendments For Master Plan Amendments, clarify it is only required when new construction occurs
4. Projects with street vacations Clarify it is only required when new construction occurs
5. Projects in Hillside Development (HD) overlays
that require a Hillside Development Permit
(HDP)
No change
6. Subdivisions in HD overlays and all other
subdivisions of 5+ lots No change
7. Projects with affordable housing on religious
facilities sites No change
8. Projects of Communitywide Significance No change
9. Other projects as determined by the Director No change
UPDATES TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES:
As previously noted, the Administrative Guidelines identify the review process and define projects of communitywide significance. The table below outlines the recommended changes:
PPR Process – Existing Guidelines
PPR Process – Proposed Guidelines
1. Applicant submits the PPR application, which
is routed to the different departments and
divisions
No change
2. Optional “Internal review meeting” with internal
staff for complicated projects or those with
major issues
No change
3. Comments provided to the applicant No change
4. Required “formal PPR meeting” with the
applicant, case manager and other city staff Make optional Projects of Communitywide Significance:
• Nonresidential: >50,000 SF of GFA;
• Residential: >50 units; and
• Other projects as determined by the Director
• PPR is presented to the City Council as an
informational item at a future City Council
meeting
Update “Projects of Communitywide Significance”:
• Nonresidential: >75,000 SF of GFA;
• Residential: >75 units, if a PPR is required by the
Director; and
• Other projects as determined by the Director
• PPR comments forwarded to the City Council
through the City Manager’s Weekly Newsletter
• A Councilmember or the Director may request the
PPR be presented to the City Council as an
informational item at a future City Council meeting
Economic Development and Technology Committee June 18, 2024 Zoning Code and Administrative Guidelines for PPRs
DISCUSSION:
When the Zoning Code and Administrative Guidelines were last updated in 2004, many processes in the Zoning Code were new to applicants. However, over the last 20 years, staff has heard from applicants that requiring a PPR does not always provide significant benefit. Staff must still fully analyze a development application when it is received, so the PPR does not necessarily save time for future submittals. If a PPR is available as an option, an applicant can elect to receive the information if they think it will be beneficial to their project.
Also, in looking at what projects should be considered as “Projects of Community Wide Significance” staff considered that project types in Pasadena have evolved over the past two decades. In the early 2000s, the majority of projects were non-residential and housing projects with 50 or more units were considered large in size and uncommon. Today, the majority of projects are residential and housing projects with 50 or more units are considered average in size and common. In addition, the 75,000 square foot threshold for non-residential projects also aligns with the Zoning Code definition of a major project, which requires Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approval by the Planning Commission.
Lastly, in 2009, the City established Preliminary Consultation as a required informational step in the Design Review process. Projects that require PPR typically also go through the Preliminary Consultation process, where projects at early stages receive comments on design considerations such as site design, massing, architectural concept, and response to surrounding context. This makes two preliminary reviews which becomes duplicative for applicants. Staff is not proposing changes to the design review process as each step builds upon the other to complete the three- step process and the comments provided are necessary for the future reviews.
NEXT STEPS:
If EdTech supports the recommended changes, staff will present the Zoning Code updates to the Planning Commission for recommendation and City Council for final consideration. Separately, staff will finalize the Administrative Guidelines and have them signed by the City Manager.

TO: Economic Development and Technology Committee
FROM: Department of Housing
DATE: June 18, 2024
SUBJECT: 2024 PASADENA HOMELESS COUNT RESULTS
RECOMMENDATION:
The following report is for information only; no action is required.
BACKGROUND:
The 2024 Pasadena Homeless Count was conducted on the night of Tuesday, January 23, 2024, with the “night” beginning at sunset on January 23 and ending on January 24.
The Homeless Count is one of the many data sources staff use to measure the prevalence of homelessness in the City and to inform strategic planning. While the City’s homeless population fluctuates throughout the year, the count acts as a “snapshot in time” to collect information from people who are living in unsheltered locations (the “unsheltered count”) and temporary shelter (the “sheltered count”). Data collected allows staff to quantify the size of the City’s homeless population on any given night and provides detailed information about this population’s characteristics and experiences. While the count does not reflect the total number of people who experience homelessness throughout the year, the results are particularly useful for tracking trends over time, learning about the demographics of our homeless population, and as a tool to identify disparities.
During the unsheltered count, over 200 volunteers and professional homeless service workers conducted a robust canvassing of the entire geography of the City, surveying people sleeping on the street, in parks and vehicles, and other areas not meant for human habitation. For the second year, in collaboration with the Public Health Department, the PORT team and Huntington Hospital, two vaccine strike teams were deployed during the unsheltered count and provided COVID and flu vaccines as well as anti-overdose naloxone kits to those who wanted them.
The sheltered count is derived from client-level data entered into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database by homeless service providers on
people who are staying in temporary shelter locations including congregate emergency shelters, transitional housing, and motels. People who are living doubled-up with family or friends or who are couch surfing are not included in the count, as HUD considers these individuals to be at-risk of homelessness and not literally homeless for the purposes of the count. Results from the Homeless Count contribute to regional, state and national data on homelessness and are used by public funders to allocate resources to the City.
HOMELESS COUNT RESULTS:
• Overall point-in-time count is stable. On the night of the 2024 Homeless Count, 556 people were experiencing homelessness in Pasadena, which is the same number as in 2023. While the number of people experiencing homelessness was unchanged, there were significant shifts under the surface.
• Progress in key subpopulations. Chronic homelessness, defined as more than twelve months of homelessness with a disability, fell by 19% (298 in 2023; 240 in 2024). This year marked the first time in six years that chronic homelessness fell below 50% (now 43%) of the overall homeless population. Additionally, veteran homelessness fell by 20% (40 in 2023; 32 in 2024).
• Sheltered homelessness slightly lower. Sheltered homelessness fell by 7% (253 in 2023; 235 in 2024), which was expected. The end of pandemic-related funding led to a reduction in shelter resources since the 2023 count. Additionally, the count took place during a transitional period for the City’s weather-activated shelter system. The Bad Weather Shelter was only in its second week of operation at its new location on the night of the 2024 Homeless Count, while typically the count takes place six to seven weeks into the shelter season.
Shelter utilization increases throughout the season, so the timing of the opening of the Bad Weather Shelter likely resulted in fewer people sheltered on the night of the count.
• Shifts within the unsheltered population. The 2024 count saw a slight reduction in street homelessness (153 in 2023 vs. 132 in 2024), while more people were found to be sleeping in cars or RVs (32 in 2023; 51 in 2024).
Similarly, more people were sleeping outdoors at faith-based locations (11 in 2023; 23 in 2024).
ADDITIONAL INSIGHTS:
• People experiencing homelessness are long-time Pasadenans. Over half (56%) of unsheltered people surveyed were last housed in Pasadena and were residents for an average of 22 years before losing their housing.
• Racial and ethnic disparities remain. People of color continue to be overrepresented in our homeless population as a result of longstanding systemic racism and persistent inequity in the housing sector. Only 8% of Pasadena’s general population is Black, yet Black people make up 27% of the City’s homeless population.
Hispanic/Latino people now make up nearly half (46%) of the homeless population, while only 35% of Pasadena’s general population is Hispanic/Latino.
This increase in Hispanic/Latino homelessness has also occurred across Los Angeles County (26% increase from 2020 to 2022) and the nation (8% increase from 2020 to 2022).
• Key differences between single adult homelessness and family homelessness. Unhoused single adults are significantly more likely to be experiencing chronic homelessness compared to people in unhoused families (52% vs. 2%). Unhoused single adults are also more likely to be Black (29% vs. 20%) and veterans (7% vs 2%) than people in families experiencing homelessness. People in unhoused families are more likely to be Hispanic/Latino than single adults experiencing homelessness (64% vs. 42%). Notably, people in families are nearly five times as likely to have fallen into homelessness for the first time compared to single adults (52% vs. 11%).
• Increases in first-time homelessness and people fleeing domestic violence.
The number of people becoming unhoused for the first time (91 in 2024) continues to rise as pandemic-era tenant protections and supports have come to an end, nearing pre-pandemic levels (99 in 2020). The number of people experiencing homelessness as a result of fleeing domestic violence (143 in 2024) has sharply risen in recent years and is now more than double pre-pandemic levels (68 in 2020).
PERMANENT HOUSING SUCCESSES
• Record number of people permanently housed. In 2023, 410 Pasadenans experiencing homelessness were permanently housed, a 32% increase over 2022. Ninety percent (367) were housed through Pasadena-based projects, such as The Salvation Army Hope Center and new rental assistance vouchers.

30 2. REPORT ON PROGRESS TOWARD 2023-2028 PASADENA
CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESSNESS PLAN GOALS*
MEMORANDUM
TO: Economic Development and Technology Committee
FROM: William K. Huang, Housing Director
DATE: June 18, 2024
SUBJECT: PASADENA CONTINUUM OF CARE HOMELESSNESS PLAN YEAR
ONE PROGRESS REPORT
RECOMMENDATION:
The following report is for information only; no action is required.
BACKGROUND:
On February 29, 2024, the Pasadena Continuum of Care (CoC) Board approved the 2023-2028 Continuum of Care Homelessness Plan, which was also brought to the Economic Development & Technology Committee as an information-only item on January 20, 2024. The plan drew from extensive data analysis and community engagement to establish five Action Areas: Systemwide Planning, Equity & Respect, Crisis Response, Housing & Supports, and Prevention. Each Action Area includes a quantitative goal, supported by detailed strategies, to be achieved by the end of 2028.
While the plan was finalized in early 2024, the goals were established based on the analysis of 2022 data. As a result, the Year One Progress Report draws from calendar year 2023 data.
YEAR ONE PROGRESS REPORT:
Goal 1: 50% Reduction in Annual Homelessness
Action Area: Systemwide Planning
For this goal the Annual Count is used, which is the total number of people who experienced homelessness at any time in a single calendar year. The Annual Count is distinct from the Homeless Count which quantifies the number of people experiencing homeless on a single night. The Annual Count is generated from the analysis of data in the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database.
The 2023 Annual Count was 1,097 people, a 9% reduction compared to the 2022 Annual Count (1,208 people). The Homelessness Plan set a target of a 13% reduction in 2023 over 2022, so although a 9% reduction is encouraging, we are tracking slightly behind.
Goal 2a: Parity in Housing Program Outcomes for Black People Action Area: Equity & Respect
A thorough systems gap analysis was conducted in the development of the Homelessness Plan which showed that Black people achieve lower lease-up rates in rapid rehousing programs and fewer successful exits from permanent supportive housing programs. In 2023, 58% of Black rapid rehousing participants successfully leased a unit on the private rental market. However, 71% of rapid rehousing participants of other races were able to attain permanent housing. There is still work to be done to achieve parity in rapid rehousing lease-ups.
When a participant leaves a permanent supportive housing program, the exit is considered successful if they leave to another permanent housing situation which could include a rental with or without a subsidy, living with family or friends, or moving to an institutional setting such as a skilled nursing facility. In 2023, 62% of Black people exiting from permanent supportive housing had a successful exit. In the same year, 58% of exits from permanent supportive housing among people of other races were successful. Parity was achieved for Black people in successful exits from permanent supportive housing and must be maintained.
Goal 2b: Parity in Access to Services for Hispanic and Latino People Action Area: Equity & Respect
The gap analysis also revealed disparity in access to services for Hispanic and Latino people experiencing homelessness. Program enrollment data from emergency shelter and permanent housing programs (rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing) was utilized to measure the accessibility of services for unhoused Hispanic and Latino people. Parity will be achieved when the share of people enrolling in these programs that are Hispanic or Latino equals or exceed the share of the overall homeless population that is Hispanic or Latino. The 2024 Homeless Count found 46% of Pasadena’s homeless population to be Hispanic or Latino. In 2023 only 40% of people enrolled in emergency shelter programs and 30% of people enrolled in permanent housing programs were Hispanic or Latino, falling short of the goal in both program types. However, progress toward this goal was made when compared to the 2022 enrollment rates of unhoused Hispanic and Latino people (32% of emergency shelter and 29% of permanent housing enrollments).
Goal 3: Year-Round Shelter Beds for 80% of Unhoused People on Any Given Night Action Area: Crisis Response
Data from the Housing Inventory Count (HIC), which the CoC reports to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on an annual basis, is utilized to measure the availability of shelter beds in Pasadena. The HIC is a point-in-time measurement that is taken on the night of the Homeless Count each year. While the HIC does include data on seasonal shelter beds such as the Bad Weather Shelter, only year-round shelter bed data is utilized for Goal 3. On the night of the 2023 Homeless Count there were enough year-round shelter beds for 36% of the homeless population.
A decrease was originally anticipated for 2024; however, on the night of the 2024 Homeless Count there were enough shelter beds for 40% of the City’s homeless population, exceeding the Year One target.
Goal 4: Permanently House 1,110 People
Action Area: Housing & Supports
The CoC initially estimated that a cumulative 1,110 unhoused people would have to be permanently housed by the end of 2028 in order to achieve a 50% reduction in Annual Homelessness. In 2023, 410 people experiencing homeless in Pasadena attained permanent housing, far exceeding the target of 210 people. While this accomplishment should be celebrated, reductions in Annual Homelessness still fell short of the 2023 target, demonstrating a need to increase permanent housing targets in order to reduce Annual Homelessness by 50%.
Goal 5: 15% Reduction in Inflows
Action Area: Prevention
The Homelessness Plan anticipated an initial uptick in the number of people who fell into homelessness in 2023 compared to 2022, setting a target of 107 newly unhoused people in 2023. However, 137 people fell into homelessness in 2023, 28% more than the anticipated amount. These greater-than-expected inflows into homelessness prevented the CoC from achieving the 2023 annual homelessness reduction target of 13%. The CoC will revise the yearly prevention targets to ensure that support a 50% reduction in annual homelessness by the end of 2028.
CONCLUSION:
In 2023 nearly double the anticipated number of people were permanently housed resulting in a 9% reduction in the number of people experiencing homelessness annually. These successes show that concerted efforts can and do move the needle in meaningful ways. In 2024, projects such as Heritage Square South, a Safe Parking program on All Saints Church’s property, the expansion of the Bad Weather Shelter’s capacity, and the opening of an interim housing program for transition age youth (with a local preference for Pasadena City College students) will all continue to drive progress toward the CoC’s Homelessness Plan goals.

Fine-Tuning Homelessness Plan Targets
With two years of data, we plan to revise our yearly prevention and housing targets to ensure we stay on track to achieve a 50% reduction in homelessness.
10 Despite housing nearly twice as many people as anticipated, our decrease was only 9% instead of the projected 13%, indicating the need for more ambitious housing goals.
Moreover, higher-than-anticipated inflows underscore the urgency to ramp up prevention efforts.
