Lamanda Park Specific Plan
May 5, 2025
REASONS WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
The Lamanda Park area in southeast Pasadena features an eclectic mix of forms and uses, with commercial and industrial properties, and is vital in technology-focused industries. The Department of Planning and Community Development recommends a new specific plan for Lamanda Park as part of the Our Pasadena program. The plan will establish goals, policies, and standards in accordance with the General Plan.
In addition, this ordinance includes technical changes for clarity and consistency to certain specific plans, as presented to the Council on November 18,2024.
Zoning Code and Zoning Map amendments shall be implemented by ordinance.
PROGRAMS, DEPARTMENTS OR GROUPS AFFECTED
The Planning and Community Development Department will implement this ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
On November 18, 2024, the Council adopted an Addendum to the 2015 Pasadena General Plan Environmental Impact Report and found that the Addendum properly disclosed only minor technical changes or additions to the EIR, and none of the conditions triggering a subsequent or supplemental EIR are present, as set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164. The effects of this action are adequately addressed and encompassed by the Council's determination and no further study is required.
