MUNICIPAL CODE, VALLEY BOULEVARD SPECIFIC PLAN, AND MISSION
DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN RELATING TO OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR MULTI-FAMILY AND MIXED-USE PROJECTS (ZTA23-002) –
INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING
In recent years, the State of California has been in an ongoing housing supply crisis. As a result, numerous laws have been passed by the State to help alleviate the housing shortage. At the March 2, 2023 joint City Council and Planning Commission study session, Staff presented an informational staff report summarizing the new bills and legislation as well as draft language for the Objective Design Standards. The City Council directed Planning staff to work with the City Architect and the Design Review Commission to finalize the Objective Design Standards and prepare an ordinance. A draft ordinance was provided to the Design Review Commission and the Planning Commission for further consideration and recommendation on May 22, 2023 and August 14, 2023, respectively. Following further discussions, the Planning Commission recommended approval to the City Council of the proposed zone text amendment (ZTA23-002) for Ordinance No. 693. Impact fees will be charged for new development in accordance with City requirements, but because this project does not directly result in specific development, the financial impacts to the City, if any, are unknown at this time.
City Council Regular Meeting Agenda – November 7, 2023 11 California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed amendment would be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA guidelines, under the common sense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that it would not have significant effect on the environment and, thus, is not subject to CEQA review.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the public hearing and discuss proposed Ordinance No. 693.
2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 693 by title only;
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN
GABRIEL, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING CHAPTER 153 (ZONING CODE),
THE VALLEY BOULEVARD NEIGHBORHOODS SUSTAINABILITY PLAN,
AND THE MISSION DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN TO INCORPORATE
OBJECTIVE DESIGN STANDARDS FOR MULTI-FAMILY AND MIXEDUSE DEVELOPMENTS.
3. Waive further reading and schedule the second reading and adoption of Ordinance No. 693 for the next regular City Council meeting. The ordinance would then become effective 30 days after adoption.

READING
The proposed Zone Text Amendment would amend Chapter 153 of the San Gabriel Municipal Code relating to Mixed-Use Standards in the C-1 and C-3 Zone Districts. The proposed Zone Text Amendment is intended to implement the goals and programs identified in the 2021-2029 Housing Element. The Fiscal Year 2022-23 Adopted Budget includes the cost for required legal publication (Account No. 121-702-00-65-000) and codification (Account No. 121-702-00-22-000) of the ordinance.
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: The proposed amendments were reviewed for compliance with CEQA.

The Initial Study/Negative Declaration considered the policies and programs outlined in the Housing Element. The Housing Element establishes objectives, policies, and programs to assist the City in achieving state-mandated housing goals. No formal land use changes or physical development are proposed at this time and future land use and physical development would require separate environmental evaluation.
Recommended Action:
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Conduct the public hearing and discuss proposed Ordinance No. 695;
2. Waive full reading and introduce Ordinance No. 695 by title only:
