AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA MONICA MODIFYING THE ZONING ALONG OCEAN
PARK BOULEVARD BETWEEN LINCOLN BOULEVARD AND
25TH STREET FROM R-3 TO R-2 ON AN INTERIM BASIS
AND DECLARING THE PRESENCE OF AN EMERGENCY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findings and Purpose. The City Council finds
and declares:
(a) Al though Ocean Park Boulevard between Lincoln
Boulevard and 25th Street (hereinafter referred to as the
"affected area"), is currently an R-3 Zone District, 95% of the
lots in the affected area are currently developed to either R-1
Zone District or R-2 Zone District standards.
(b) The areas immediately north and south of the affected
area are R-2 or R-l Zone Districts.
(c) On more than one recent occasion, an application for
development in the affected area has been filed which proposes a
land use utilizing the R-3 Zone District standards.
(d) Because of the discrepancy between the existing R-3
District zoning and the existing R-l and R-2 District land uses
in the affected area and surrounding general area, development in
the affected area to R-3 Zone District standards would be
- 1 -
e
e
incompatible with existing land uses, and would impair the
integrity and character of the affected area.
(e) The potential for development to R-J Zone District
Standards in the affected area poses a current and immediate
threat to the public health, safety and welfare of the residents,
and the approval of permits for such development would result in
a threat to public health, safety, or welfare.
(f) The Zoning Ordinance requires review and revision as
it pertains to the appropriate zoning for the affected area.
(g) Pending completion of this review and revision, it is
necessary to modify on an interim basis the existing zoning to
prevent development in the affected area to R-J Zone District
standards, thereby preventing development inconsistent with
existing land uses in and the general character of the affected
area.
SECTION 2. Interim Zoninq.
(a) No project shall be approved for any residentially
zoned property on Ocean Park Boulevard between Lincoln Boulevard
and 25th Street unless it meets the Property Development
Standards for the R2 Low Density MUlti-Family Residential
District contained in Municipal Code Section 9012.6.
(b) This Ordinance shall apply to any applications for
planning, building, or other City approvals deemed complete after
July 10, 1990, unless the application included a vesting
tentative map, in which event this Ordinance shall apply if the
vesting tentative map was deemed complete on or after July 27,
1990.
