Exten51ve background informat1.on about th1s proposal, wh1.ch was 1.n1.t1.ated by a record owner of one of the subJect parcels, 15 conta1.ned In Attachment A, the staff report to the Plann1ng Cornm1.SS1.on. Attachment B conta1.ns the Comm1.ss1.on's f1.nd1.ngs in support of its recornmenda- t1.on that Councll amend the Distrlctlng Map. It lS recommended that the Councll dlrect the Clty Attorney to prepare an ordlnance to amend the Distr1.ct1.ng Map to accomplish the zone change, and conduct a publlc hearlng on the ord1nance July 23, 1985. BACKGROUND On Aprl.l 25, 1985 staff rece1.ved an app11cat1on from Novell DuVardo Hendr1.ckson, record owner of property at 1157 Frankl1.n Street, to re-zone three R-IA parcels, includ1.ng her own, to R-l, and three other adJacent R-IA parcels to R-2. The appllcation bears supporting signatures of thirty-one area res1.dents and - 1 - ~-" JUl - 9 t985 f) 7'...~ e e property owners. The applicat10n was amended on May 8, 1985 to request re-zon~ng of all s~x parcels to R-l. The amended ap- pl~catlon date ~nltiated a new procesSlng time schedule requlred by Mun~c~pal Code Bectlon 9l49C(3). On June 3, 1985, fol1owlng pub11catlon of a pub11c notlce and mailing of not1ce to all res1dents and property owners with1n 300 feet of the subJect propert~es, and Wl. thl.n the 30-day tl.me lirnl.t specl.fl.ed l.n Munl.cl.pal Code Sectlon 9l49C(3), the Plannlng COmml.SS10n opened a pub1l.c hearing on the app11catlon. The Com- illl.SS10n cons1dered a staff report and letters in support and l.n OppOSl.tlon to the applicatl.on (see Attachment A). The COmml.SS10n also heard from several members of the publlC. The COmm1SSl.0n then voted to contl.nue the matter to June 17, 1985, 1n part, be- cause only four Comm1SS1oners were present that evenlng (Genser, Larmore, Perlman absent). On June 17, 1985, the COmmlSS10n resumed the publlC hearlng and heard from addl.t1onal members of the pub11C. Fol1owl.ng the publl.c hearl.ng and considerable dlScusslon, the Comml.ssl.on adop- ted a motlon by a vote of 4-2-1 (Genser, Hecht, Klrshner, Shearer 1n favor; Heybald-Heyman, Larmore opposed) recommending that the Cl.ty Counel.l approve the requested zone change and adoptl.ng fl.nd- lngs ln support of l.ts recommendatl.on (see Attachment B). This actl.on occurred on the fortl.eth day followl.ng subml ttal of the amended appl~cation, and therefore compl~ed with the time liml.ts establl.shed in Munic~pa1 Code Section 9149C(3). A copy of these findings s~gned by the COmmlSSl.0n Cha~rperson was ma~led to the - 2 - (/ ""'- e e appl~cant on June 18th, and cop~es were d~strlbuted to the Clty Councl1 as an Informatlon Item. CITY COUNCIL AUTHORITY ..... The Clty Councl1 may by ordlnance effect the proposed change, or any portion thereof, and may set the matter for publlC hearlng prlor to adoptlon of any such ordlnance. The CounCll may also decllne to take any actlon on the recommendatlon. Adoptlon of an Ordinance to amend the Dlstrlcting Map must be reviewed for compllance wlth the Callfornla Enviornmental Quallty Act (CEQA) and the Clty'S adopted CEQA GUldellnes. The Plannlng COffiffilss1on's recommendatlon would conform the zoning claSSlflcatlon to reflect eXlstlng land use and therefore would be exempt from CEQA under PubllC Resources Code Sectlon 15385 and Clty CEQA gUldellnes Artlcle VII, Sectlon 5(e)(13). The Plannlng Comnllsslon al so found the zone change exempt under Cl ty CEQA GUldellnes Artlcle VIII, Sectlon 5(e){l2) because the zone change reduces the maXlmum lntenslty of land use but does not change the nature of use. The proposed zone change would also quallfy for the General Rule Exemption from CEQA because It can be seen wlth reasonable certalnty that the irnplementatlon of the proposed or- dinance could not posslbly have a signlflcant effect on the en- vlronrnent, as meant by CEQA. BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACTS Callfornla Government Code Sectlon 65863.5 requlres that whenever the zon~ng coverlng a property is changed from one zone - 3 - ... e e to another, that the C~ty must not~fy the County Assessor w~th~n th~rty days. To the extent that the proposed zone change would increase or decrease property tax assessments, the C~ ty would ga~n or lose its approximately fourteen percent share of such .... change 1n assessments on these parcels. Th~s would be an 1ns~g- n1f1cant sum in compar~son to the total C1ty budget. RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the C~ty Councll direct the C1 ty Attorney to prepare an Ord1nance for l.ntroduct10n on July 23, 1985) amendLng the D1strLctlng Map as recommended by the Plann1ng Commiss1.on, and to set the matter for pub11c hearing.

The applicat~on for Zone Change Number 25 cons~sts of the re- zon~ng of s~x parcels on Centinela Avenue and Frankl~n Street from R-IA to R-l. The appl~cat~on ~s by a record owner of prop- erty w~th~n the area proposed for change per Sect~on 9149 of the Mun~c~pal Code, and ~s supported by 31 other owners. The report prepared for th~s appl~cat~on prov~de5 background ~nformat~on on the events wh~ch prompted the appl~cat~on, ex~st~ng land use and zon~ng patterns, the h~story of R-L1\. zon~ng for the area, a detaLled analys~s of the proposal, the procedures the Comrn~ss~on and Counc1.l must follow l.n cons~der~ng the a991~cacions, and f~nally staff's recommendations. A ser~es of maps are attached for further clar~f~cat~on of the ~ssues involved ~n thLS appl~cat~on. BACKGROUND. On March 1, 1985 Mustafa and Gladys Uke f~led an ap91~cat~on for a Var~ance to develop a park~ng loc on the~r property at 1165-67 Frankl~n Street ~n the R-lA D1.str~ct. The property 1.S currently improved w1.th a duplex for wh~ch the Uke!: rece~ved a letter or exempt~on for the purposes of removal fr~m the Rent Control Board on May 16, 1985. The Ukes also own the adJacent R-2A and C-4 D~strl.ct propert~e.s to the south wh1.ch are l.r.lproved W1. -:.h Uncle John's Pancake House restaurant and assoc~ated par~~ng lot, wh1.ch they are known to des lore to redevelop along w~~h the R-1A lot. The varLance was requ~red because a portLon of the proposed park- ing lot layout encroached W1.thin the requLred front yard. On March 26, 1985 a hearing on the var~ance was conducted by tae Zon1.ng Adm~n~strator. After consLder~ng the record and testLIDony of S1.xteen interested persons I pr~marl.ly neighbors 11.vLng near the subJect site who opposed the applicat~on, the Zon~ng Ad- m~n~strator indicated hl.s tentat~ve rul1.ng would be to deny the requese for lack of adequate hardsh~p just~f~cat1.on by the Ukes. - 1 - 4; e e Dur~ng ~he pubI~c hear~ng several spea~ers lndlcatec an lnceres~ In havlng all the R-IA lots on Frankl~n Stree~ re-zoned to R-l. On Aprl1 25, 1985 the Zonlng A~~lnlstrator ~ssued a wrltten deter~natlon denYlng the varlance and caples were mal1ed to all neLghbors who requested a copy ~n additlon to ~he Ukes, me~bers of the Plannlng CommlSSlon and the BU11dlng Qfflcer. No appeal of that deC1Slon was flIed wlthln the ten day appeal perlod. On Aprl1 3, 1985 the Dlrector of Plannlng sent the Ukes a letter at thelr request, outllnlng all the sr.atutory requlrements under Santa Monlca Munlclpal Code Sectlon 9112 for developlng thelr R- LA lot for surface parking wlthout a varlance. On Aprll 25, 1985 Ms. Novell Duvardo Hendrlckson, conservator for Ruth Duvardo at 1157 Franklln, flIed an appllcaclon supported by the slgnatures of 31 adJacent property owners to re-zone three R- LA lots on Franklin and Cent1nela to R-l, and three others from R-IA to R-2. After a prellffi1nary reVlew by Plannlng staff, and an evaluatlon of the consequences lnvolved ln rezonlng the three lots to R-2, Ms. Hendrlckson on May 8, 1985 amended the appllcan- tlon to re-zone all SlX lots to an R-l des~gnation. A new pet~- t~on was submltted w~th the s~gnatures of 24 adJacent property owners. On May 8, 1985, Jlm Lunsford, agent for the Ukes, submltted an ARB applicat~on for the development of a surface level park~ng lot on the property located at 1165-67 Frankl~n Avenue. The scheduled hean.ng date for thJ.s applJ.catl.on J.S June 5, 1985 at the regularly scheduled ARB meetlng. The applJ.catJ.on appears to conform to the Santa Monlca Munlc~-pal Code requlrements Wl "t.h~n Sectlon 9112 per~alnlng to surface .level lots developed on R-LA propertles. ~o varlances or adJustments are requ~=ed for th~s appllcatlon. The Dlrector of PlannJ.ng has de"t.er~lned that the development of the surface level parkJ.ng lot, as proposed now by the Ukes, is exempt from requ~rlng a development reVlew under OrdJ.nance 1321 prov~ded that the crl.terJ.a outlJ.ned 1n the letr.er dated May 24, 1985 regardlng removal of the eXlst~ng duplex are compIled wJ"th (See attachment A). EXISTING CONDITIONS The area proposed for re-zonlng consJ.sts of SJ.X R-IA parcels lo- cated north of WJ.lsh~re frontJ.~g on CentJ.nela Avenue and 2ranklJ.~ Street. All the subJect propert~es are 60' x ISO' parcels, and are currently J.mproved wlth slngle famJ.ly dwelllngs or duplexes. The surroundlng land use pattern canslsts of a ffilxture of resldent~al uses, commercJ.al uses and surface level parkJ.ng. The commercJ.ally zoned parcels extend 120' to the north of WJ.lshlre Boulevard wlth one 60' x 150' R-2A lot separat~ng the C-4 parcels and the R-IA parcels. Currently, the C-4 propertles are all de- veloped wlth commerc~al uses, and the R-2A parcels are developed Wl th resl.dentl.al uses or surface level parklng. (see F~gures 1 and 2). As currently zoned, and as illustrated by the Lucky' s Supermarket development, commerclal uses could potentially extend as much as 300' into the adJacent resldentlal Dlstrlct. - 2 - - . ,yo 1 =- : , = .: = 'Ie) J' ::. ~ _ :fj;)o. t,M-.r\ ~ ...::.., ~ rI~ I ).

The zon~ng pattern was des.lgned to protec~ the a-l d~s- trJ..ct by prov.J..dJ..ng two transl.t.lonal lots whJ.ch served as a buffer from the commerC.lal uses (see FLgure 3).

R-1A Lots D~d Not Serve Thelr Intended Purpose . The propose of the "A" lots throughout the C1.ty has been both to provl.de for surface parkl.ng behind commercl.al develo9ment and to prov~de a t=ansl.tion or buffer between the Ccmmerclal Dl.str~ct. and adJacent or abutting Re51.dent~a1 Dlstr~cts. Examples of thlS pattern currently eXl.st along the maJor ccmrnercl.al corr~dors of PlCO Boulevard, Santa Mon~ca Boulevard, Wilsh~=e Boulevard and ~cntana Avenue. A Plann~ng Department study prepared 1.0 January - 4 - . ~ e e 1980 ~n response to Counc~l concern over cOIT~erc~al encroacn~e~t ~n~a res~denc~al neLghborhoods, found that w~thLn t~e San~a ~onL- ca-\'i~lsh.J.re Cor::-.J.dor, approx~mately 28.6 acres '.....ere zoned for "A" use. Of thai:., 28.6 acres, 9.3 acres (32%) were Ln use for :1on- ::-es.J.dent.J.al parkLng and 3.3 acres (11 %) were ut.l.1..1.zed for non- res.J.dent.J.al uses. Thus, the rema.J.n.J.ng 16.6 acres (58%) were be.J.ng ut.J.l.J.zed for res.J.dent.1.al uses (see F.J.gure 4). Thus, Ln all the years since the A lots were created, only 32% of the area avaLlable for surface park.J.ng had actually been used as Lntended. Currently the 19 "A" zoned propert.J.es located north of W.J.lshl.re Boulevard between Cent1.nela and Harvard total approx.l.:nately,. 4 acres. Of those 4 acres, 1.2 acres are those S.J.X parcels pro- posed for re-zon1.ng. It appears that the el.J.mLnat1.on of 1.2 acres would not s.J.gn.J.f1.cantly decrease the amount of acreage ava.J.lable for off street park.J.ng, part.J.cular ly .J.n l.J.ght of the lower property development standards now appl1.cable to the C-4 property. In the 23 years si:J.ce these R-IA lots were created, only one commerc~al proJect has been developed to ta~e acvantage of the perm~tted area.

In some areas of the Clty, the Land Use Element develcpmen";:. standards were spec!.f1.cally des~gned to reflect the eX~st1.ng land use pattern. such as 1.n the Nel.ghbcrnocd Ccmmer~1.al D1.str1.cts on P1.ca Boulevard, ~ncoln Avenue and W1.1s~re Boulevard. This pol1.cy ob]ect1.ve should be cans1.dered in evaluat1.ng the present appl1.cat1.on. By exam1.n1.ng the pattern of developme~t over the past years, wh'::'ch prov1.ded for substant!-~lly more general standads, there appears to be no press1.ng demand for add1.t1.onal commerc1.al park1.ng w~th1.n the 1.mmed1.ate area proposed for re-zon1.ng part1.cularly Ln 11.ght of the lower standards now 1.n effect both 1.n Los Angeles and Santa MonLca. The ex~st1.ng uses on all the R-lA propert~es are reS1.d.ent1.al, and are currently buffered from the commerc1.al property by an R-2A zoned parcel. It ~s therefore sound plannlng polley to conform the zonlng W1.th the eX1.st1.ng land-uses. part1.cularly when the opportun~ty ex~sts to do so without creating any s1.gnif~cant ~mpact on t~e potent1.al to develop the C-4 propert1.es. Alternat1.ves to the Pro?osed re-zon1.ng Planning staff has consldered the poss1.b1.1~~y of return~ng to the or~gnal zone pat~ern WhlCh eX1.sted pr~or to the 1960s, cons!-st~ng of d C-4, R-2A. R-2 and then the R-l_ d1.str~ct. As 1.1lust~ted ~n F~gure 5, the cornmerc~al Lntrus~on ~nto the Res~dentLal D~st~~ct could ult1.mately extend up to 240' north or W~lshl=e 30ulevard If the R-IA parcels are re-zoned to R-2. ~'h th thJ.s pat "':.ern, no tranS1.~1.on or buffer would be prov~ded between the cc~~erc1.al and res1.dent1.al uses. (See FLgure 5) Should the R-IA parcels be rezoned to R-l, the only per~1.t~ed use would be a slngle faml1y dwell1.ng or a duplex as per~L~ted under SMMC Sect~cn 9l06A. In cons~de=-lng the two opt~ons, sta~~ flnds that the R-l zon~ng as proposed would prov1.de the waX~~UQ protec- t~on wh~le at the same tLme allow for a reasonable translt~onal use. Should the S1.X lots be re-zoned ~o R-l as proposed, ~he !-~pact on future co~~erc1.al ~evelopment on the C-4 ~arcels LS noe s~sn~f~- cant. Under the present zonlC1g. the ava1.1able S.l. te area for development includlng the R-2A lot, ~s 27,000 square feet. US1.~g the maX1.ffiUm 3.0 floor area rat~o per:tutted under the Land Use Element, the development perm1.tted for these s~tes totals 81,000 square feet. Under the current provlslons of SM~C SectlOn 9112 the only uses permltted on the R-IA parcel cons~st of a sLngle ram1.ly res:.dence, a transltlonal duplex or surface level par~1.ng~ no co~~erclal bU1.1d1.ng use would be perm1.tted.

Durlng the analys1s of thlS appllcatlcn, staff has carefully ex- ar.aned the poss1.o.l.11.ty of re-zcn.lng all the R-1A lots n.orth of t'i.1.1sh.l.re Boulevard be1:.ween Harvard Street and Cent.l.nela Avenue (see f.l.gure 6) Staff has found that the threat of f;"rrther com- rnerclal encroachment and the dlsparlty between eXlst1ng land use and zon.l.ng class.l.f.l.cat.l.on also appl.l.es to thlS area and not Just to the SlX parcels east of Franklln Avenue. However, the threat of comrnerc.l.al expans.l.on 1.S no1:. as lwpend.l.ng due to the eX.l.st~ng zon.l.ng pattern. Currently the R-lA parcels west of Berkely abut R-2 zoned property wh.l.ch are all developed w.l.th res.l.dent.l.al uses. As a result, SMMC Sec~ion 9112 prohl.~.l.ts the use of the R-lA lots for park.l.ng unless they are cont.lguous w~th the commerc.l.al use (.l.e. no park.l.ng ".l.slands"). It.ls h.lghly .l.mprobable that the R- lA parcels would ever be developed as surface level park.l.ng at th~s t.l.me. In keep.lng w.l.th gcod zonLng practLce and the polley of protect~ng eX.l.st.l.ng res.l.dent~al D.l.strlcts, sta=f recomends that the Plann.l.ng CommLssLon con5Lder re-zon.l.ng th.l.S area w.l.th.l.n the ccmprehens.l.ve re-zon~ng whlcn w~ll occur as a result of the Zonlng Ord.l.nance reV.lS.l.ons. Th.lS result would not 5everly .lmpact the acreage des.lgnated for co~~e~c.l.al parklng S.l~ce ~t 15 h.lghly unl.lkely these lots would ever be developed for park.l.ng because the R-2 lots are developed Wl.th cenc.ornJ..n.l ums or ;nul ~.l.-fam.l.ly apartments protected under Re~t Control. Should the COmInlSS.l0n supporc t:.e proposed re-zon.:..ng of all the ~-lA lots, the eX.l.st.lng non-con=orm.l~g uses would be ?erm.l.tted to reraaLn fer at least 25 years under the snHC Sect.lon 9136D per- ta.l.n1.ng to non-confornung uses. In the event the Ukes' pa~'<.l.ng lot .J.S developed, .l.t too would become a ncn-coniorr.ung use and perill.l.tted to rema.l.n for a per.:..cd of at least 25 years. Under thlS scenar.lO, any new development for that lot must ccnfor~ to the R-l Res~den;:'lal D~str.lc"t s~andards. Of the 19 a-IA zor.ed parcels w.lth.ln the W.llsn.l.re D.l.str.lct under conslcerat.l.on, 6 lots would s~:nllarly feature non-con,::oJ::mlng uses, e.l.t::er res::..dent.l.al developments over 2 un.l.ts or surface level par~.l.ng.

C/ED:PS:CW:nh Information: November 5, 1984 Santa Monlca, Callfornla TO: Mayor and C1ty Council FROM: C1ty Staff SUBJECT: Property Development Ne1ghborhoods Standards 1n 81ng1e Falnlly INTRQDUCTIO:r:-; In response to Counc1lmember Reed's lnqu1ry, th1S report reVlews zon1ng comp11ance of a slngle family structure under construct1on at 475 25th Street and examines the larger lssue of the appropri- ateness of current development standards 1n R1 zones. BACKGROUND On May 31, 1984 a bU1ld1ng permlt for a 5,000 sq. ft. 2nd story add1t1on and remodel of an existlng structure was issued for 475 25th Street. The maximum he1ght shown on the plans is 34.5 feet w1th a steeple extend1ng to 39 feet. The structure, lnclud1ng the bays, maintalns a 33 I setback from the front property 11ne and 5' setbacks on the Slde. The structure as shown on the plans conforms to the development standards of the Rl zone as follows. Category Standard ProJect Helght 35' (subsequently 34.5' reduced to 30' by the Clty Council 1n adoptlng the Land Use Element 10/23/84) Number of Stor1es 2 2 Setbacks Front Slde Rear 30' 5' 25' 33' 5' 25'+ - 1 - e e yard increases by 1 ft ~ ~ f 3 stories Sacramento 35' 5' 60% open Beverly H1115 VarJ..es Santa Monlca 35' 2 5' ~fulle Santa Monlca's helght 11mlts are ln the same range as other areas, the potentla1 for recyc1lng of propertles and the eXlstlng modest scale of the neighborhood undergolng change may be unlque and requlre speclal attention. As a result of fleld surveys of Rl neighborhoods and graphlc studies of various zoning envelopes, staff has developed two al- ternatlve approaches to addresslng the lssue of nelghborhood scale for conslderation by the publlC, Plannlng Cornmlss1on and Clty Council. Alternatlve 1: Reduce Helght to 30' Wl th no other changes to development standards. The Clty Councll actlon reducing Rl helght Ilmlt to 30' was a slgnlflcant step towards addresslng the concern of over-scaled development; however, 1t does not address the lssue of setbacks and adequate separatlon between structures on ad] acent lots and could still result ln apparently maSSl ve structures crowding the property Ilnes. Alternatlve 2: Develop a proportloned relatlonshlp between lot slze, helght, and setbacks. The staff recommended alternative lncorporates the concept of reduced helght and attempts to create - 4 - Or e e a proportloned relat~onshlp among the lot size, open space, set- backs and permitted helght. The development standards proposed are as follows: Lot S~ze Setbacks Hei9ht Storles Under 50' wlde 10% of lot w1dth 25' 2 50' w1de or greater 5' 25' 2 In all cases 1 extra foot in height could be perm1tted by the code per each add1t1onal 6" of sldeyard prov1ded, up to a maX1IDum 3D' he~ght. For example, a 27' h1gh structure would prov1de a 6' sldeyard. A 30' structure would prov1de a 7 1/2' sideyard. Th1S provis1on would apply to new construct1on. If a structure 1S being remodeled to add a second story, the new port1on must con- form to the new setback requ1rement and any wall demolished ~n connect1on W1 th the remodel would be requ1red to be rebu~l t at the new setback llne. AdJustments would be cons1dered only under extremely unusual con- d1t1ons. Any var1ance procedure, 1f required, would ensure the opportun1ty for publ~c comment and poss1bly arch1tectural review. Staff 1S 1n the process of illustrat1ng the two al ternat~ ves graphically and wlth slldes of eX1stlng examples. Staff lS also prepar1ng word1ng changes and m~nor amendments to the sect~ons of the Mun1c1pal Code dealing w~th adJustments and prO]ect1ons ~nto yard spaces w1th the 1ntent1on of prov1d1ng clear def1nlt1ons and thresholds for the approprlate level of reV1ew for unusual C1r- cumstances. Staff 1S target1ng January 19, 1985 for a publ1C - 5 - - e workshop Wl th the Plannlng Comrnlss~on to conduct full presenta- tlon and publ~c d~ScusS1on of proposed Ordlnance amendments necessary to ~mplement new standards. Councll Members will be adVlsed of exact meetlng arrangements when scheduled.
