AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA ESTABLISHING INTERIM
DEVELdPMENT STANDARDS FOR
P~RTIONS OF THE CITY L4CATED IN THE Ml AND C5 DISTRICTS,
NORTH OF THE SANTA MONICA FREEWAY AND EAST OF
19TH STREET PLACE ALLEY
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES ~RDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Findinqs and Purpose. The City Counci~ finds and
declares:
(a) At its March 16, 1993 meeting, the City Council
approved a motion directing staff to study the C5 and Ml district
areas lacated narth of the Santa Monica Freeway and east of 19th
Place aliey {the "study area"}, and to conduct enviranmental review
af an option wh~ch would rezone the area to a new zoning
designation to be known as M1/RD.
(b) Pending completion of the study and re--zoning of
these areas to a zaning designation consistent with the City
Caunci~'s direction, to protect the public health, safety, and
welfare, it is necessary to limit on an interim basis the maximum
building height, floor area ratio, and permitted uses for the study
area.
(c) On March 15, 1993 the City Council directed staff to
prepare an interim ordinance to implement the de~e~opment standards
proposed for the M1/RD district. on June 15, 1993 the City Council
adapted an Ordinance establishing interim development standards for
1
f
the study area far a periad of forty-five days. In order to allow
staff adequate time to analyze the proposed rezoning and to conduct
the required environmental review, it is necessary ta extend the
forty-five day interim ordinance for a period af sixteen months and
fifteen days to January 10, 1995. There exists a current and
immediate threat to the public safety health and welfare should
this interim ordinance nat be extended and prajects not meeting the
standards of the interim ordinance be approved in that development
permitted under the existing standards could negatively impact city
services and infrastructure. Furthermore, the existing standards

would be in conflict with existing city goals and policies.
