DATE: March 30, 2020

SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING CODE TO REDUCE MINIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE CD-4 ZONING DISTRICT

TITLE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE


PURPOSE OF ORDINANCE The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the Zoning Code to reduce minimum parking requirements for certain uses in the CD-4 Zoning District.

REASON WHY LEGISLATION IS NEEDED This legislation is needed to equalize the parking requirement across uses that support the purpose of the CD-4 Zoning District, namely to provide for a vibrant mixed-use environment that encompasses cultural and arts activities. This would reduce the parking requirement for new and existing restaurant and entertainment uses to the same rate as retail , thus allowing conversions from retail to another use to rely on existing parking rather than providing new parking .

The amendments to the Zoning Code enacted by this ordinance shall be placed on a City Council agenda for discussion upon the establishment of a total of 40,000 square feet of any combination of the uses subject to the amendments , whether by new construction or conversion of existing commercial square footage , or as soon as feasible thereafter. During its discussion, the City Council sha ll consider whether or not the amendments shall be modified, and direct staff accordingly.

I CAUTION: This email was delivered from the Internet. Do not click links or open attachments unless you know the content is safe.

Dear Members of Pasadena City Council:

The Playhouse Village Association supports the staff recommendation to add a section to the Central District Additional Standards for Parking to require three parking spaces per 1,000 square feet for up to 40,000 square feet of new/converted square feet of restaurant, bar, and entertainment space within the CD-4 (Pasadena Playhouse) subdistrict. This is consistent with recommendations endorsed by the Playhouse Village Association Board of Directors Executive Committee at their meeting on March 6, 2020, and subsequently delivered to David Reyes in anticipation of the preparation of this ordinance.

The PVA thanks you for the opportunity to support this item, prepared in a collaborative fashion with you and City staff. We look forward to its adoption after subsequent readings and incorporation into the City's zoning code as soon as possible. Modifications such as this we believe will position Playhouse Village to recover more readily from the loss of business due to COVID-19.

Regards,

Brian Wallace Executive Director
