Honorable Mayor and City Council

SUBJECT: APPROVE CORRECTION TO EXPAND THE PLAYHOUSE PARKING
METER ZONE BOUNDARIES AND DIRECT CITY ATTORNEY TO
PREPARE AN ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Find that the recommended actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines per Section 15301 (existing facilities), there are no features that distinguish this project from others in the exempt class and, therefore, there are no unusual circumstances;
2. Approve the correction to expand the boundaries of the Pasadena Playhouse parking meter zone to be identical to the Playhouse Village Property-based Business Improvement District to allow more interested parties to be eligible for a position on the Playhouse Parking Meter Zone Advisory Commission; and
3. Direct the City Attorney to prepare an ordinance within 60 days amending Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 10.45.220 to expand the boundaries of the Pasadena Playhouse parking meter zone and return to City Council with a legal description of the boundaries consistent with the general description boundaries in the agenda report as shown in Attachment A.
BACKGROUND:I
On May 20, 2024, the City Council approved the recommendations made by the Municipal Services Committee on April 9, 2024, to adopt a resolution establishing the Playhouse Parking Meter Zone Parking Advisory Commission per the Pasadena Municipal Code MEETING OF8/19/2024AGENDA ITEM NO.4
Approve Correction to Amend the Playhouse Parking Meter Zone Boundaries August 19, 2024
Chapters 10.45 and 2.98; expand the boundaries of the Pasadena Playhouse Parking Meter Zone; and adopt an occupancy-based parking meter rate. The Playhouse Village Association submitted their support for the recommendations.
In preparation for soliciting applications for the Parking Advisory Commission, which will consist of seven members, it has come to our attention that the recommended parking meter zone boundaries will inadvertently limit the number of eligible applicants.
Specifically, these boundaries are smaller than the Playhouse Village Property-based Business Improvement District (PBID) area.
To ensure a sufficient pool of candidates and to align with the original intent of including the broader community within the Playhouse PBID area, staff is requesting a correction to the boundary area. The revised boundary should encompass the entire Playhouse PBID area, thereby broadening the scope for potential applicants to include all interested and qualified individuals within this district.
Staff recommends adjusting the boundaries to match the Playhouse PBID area to provide a more inclusive and representative selection of candidates for the Playhouse Parking Meter Zone Advisory Commission.
Parkina Meter Zone Expansion
The current Playhouse Parking Meter Zone, as specified in the Pasadena Municipal Code Chapter 10.45.220, is bounded by Union Street to the North, Los Rabies Avenue to the West, El Dorado Street to the South, and Oakland Avenue to the East. Paid parking currently exists on Los Robles Avenue from Green Street to Union Street.
On May 20, 2024, the City Council approved the expansion to be bound by Union Street to the North, Los Robles Avenue to the West, El Dorado Street to the south along Oakland Avenue, then Green Street to the South along Hudson Avenue, then Colorado Boulevard to the South, Catalina Avenue to the East until reaching Union Street.
The revised proposed expansion would extend the zone boundaries to the north and east.
As shown below and in Exhibit A, the expansion would be identical to the existing PBID's boundary description below.
Beginning at the intersection of the centerlines of El Dorado Street and Los Robles Avenue; thence north along said centerline of Los Rabies Avenue to the westerly prolongation of the north property line of the parcel located at the northeast comer of Los Robles Avenue and Walnut Street; thence easterly along the north property line of each parcel located on the north side of Walnut Street between Los Robles Avenue and Hudson Avenue to the centerline of Hudson Avenue; thence north along said centerline of Hudson Avenue to the centerline of Locust Street; thence east along said centerline of Locust Street to the southerly prolongation of the western property line of that parcel lying at the southwest corner of Lake Avenue and Corson Street; thence north along said western property line to the northern right of way line of Corson Street; thence east along said right of way line of Corson Street to the western right of way line of Lake Avenue; thence north along said western right of way line of Lake Approve Correction to Amend the Playhouse Parking Meter Zone Boundaries August 19, 2024

COUNCIL POLICY CONSIDERATION:
This project is consistent with the City Coundl's goal to improve, maintain, and enhance public facilities and infrastructure and supports and promotes the quality of life and the local economy.
The project is consistent the Mobility Element of the General Plan objective to create a supportive climate for economic viability by working with existing businesses to assess parking needs and requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
The project has been reviewed for compliance with CEQA and is exempt per Section 15301 (existing facilities) which exempts from further environmental review those projects that consist of the minor alteration of existing facilities involving negligible or no expansion of the use. The action proposed herein will expand the area where minor physical work to install parking meter pay stations in a programmatic fashion can occur throughout the Playhouse Village area and over a six-month period. There are no exceptions to the use of an exemption identified in Section 15300.2 of the State CEQA Guidelines that apply to the project. There are no features that distinguish the project from others in the exempt class and, therefore, there are no unusual circumstances.
Accordingly, no further CEQA review is required for this activity.
