SUBJECT: Introduction and First Reading of a Proposed Interim Ordinance Extending
the Provisions of Ordinance 2060 (CCS) With Modifications Which Altered
the Development Review Thresholds in the C3, C3C, and BSC Districts to
7,500 Square Feet, and Exempted Affordable Housing Projects with No More
than 50 Units from Development Review Permit and Conditional Use Permit
Requirements in All Zoning Districts Except in the LMSD, DP, BP, and R-MH
Districts.
INTRODUCTION
This report recommends that the City Council introduce for first reading an interim
ordinance extending until August 1, 2004 the provisions of Ordinance 2060 (CCS) which
lowered the development review threshold in the BSC, C3 and C3C districts in the
downtown to 7,500 square feet and exempted affordable housing projects with 50 or fewer
units from the requirements for a conditional use permit or development review permit city-
wide. Ordinance 2060 (CCS), which was adopted by the Council on November 26, 2002, is
due to expire on June 26, 2004. The proposed interim ordinance extension is contained in
Attachment A.
BACKGROUND
On November 26, 2002, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2060 (CCS) which lowered
the development review threshold in the BSC, C3 and C3C districts in the downtown to
7,500 square feet and exempted affordable housing projects with 50 or fewer units from
1
the requirements for a conditional use permit or development review permit city-wide, with
the exception of the LMSD, the DP, the BP, and the R-MH districts.
Exempted from Ordinance 2060 (CCS) are:
?
Projects that contain a minimum of eighty percent (80%) of floor area devoted to
multi-family residential use provided that at least twenty percent (20%) of the
housing units are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement approved by the
City for occupancy by households with incomes of sixty percent (60%) of median
income or less or at least ten percent (10%) of the housing units are deed-restricted
or restricted by an agreement approved by the City for occupancy by households
with incomes of fifty percent (50%) of median income or less (the required
percentage of affordable housing units does not apply to the 25% State density
bonus units if so provided in the project);
?
Affordable housing projects in which one hundred percent (100%) of the housing
units are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement approved by the City for
occupancy by households with incomes of eighty percent (80%) of median income
or less; and
?
Projects in the C3C and BSC Districts which are required by the City’s Zoning
Ordinance to devote more than twenty percent (20%) of floor area to pedestrian
oriented uses if the projects contain the maximum percentage of multi-family
residential use authorized by the Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to the above exemptions, the ordinance contains a new exemption for projects
that provide off-site housing units. Staff is recommending the addition of this provision for
policy reasons, to encourage the production of affordable housing within the downtown
area. Section (d) of the ordinance exempts projects that provide off-site units provided:
?
The number of affordable housing units provided by the project shall be 23%
greater than the number of on-site units that would have been provided by
the project;
?
The affordable housing units shall be developed consistent with Section
9.56.060;
?
The affordable units shall be located in a 100% affordable housing project;
2
?
At least 50% of the affordable units in the project shall be affordable to low
or very low income households;
?
The affordable housing project shall be developed to the maximum allowable
floor area for the zone in which the project is developed.
In adopting the interim ordinance, the Council directed staff to expedite the process and
return to Council with specific design standards for the downtown. On April 13, 2004 the
City Council was scheduled to review and consider an ordinance that would implement a
new development process and new development and design standards in the downtown;
however, the Council continued the public hearing and introduction and first reading of the
ordinance to May 11, 2004.
In a separate matter, the Council, in adopting Ordinance No. 2060 (CCS), also exempted
affordable housing projects with 50 or fewer units from the requirements for a conditional
use permit or development review permit in all zoning districts (with the exception of the
LMSD, the DP, the BP, and the R-MH districts). This action, which is consistent with
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines, was intended to foster the
development of critically needed affordable housing units.
DISCUSSION
Due to the continuance of the permanent ordinance first reading, there is insufficient time
for the adoption of an ordinance to enact a new development process and new
development and design standards in the downtown prior to the expiration of Ordinance
3
No. 2060 (CCS). Staff proposes that the provisions of Ordinance No. 2060 be extended
until August 1, 2004 to provide for additional time. No changes are proposed to the
provisions of Ordinance No. 2060 (CCS).
CEQA
The proposed Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) in that it can be seen with certainty
that the proposed ordinance does not have the potential to significantly impact the
environment. Indeed, the proposed Ordinance serves to further protect the environment
by ensuring that development projects are designed to be compatible with the surrounding
neighborhood and incorporate pedestrian design features. Providing an exemption for
affordable housing projects consisting of not more than 50 units is consistent with the
exemptions for affordable housing provided in CEQA.
PUBLIC NOTICE
A legal advertisement was published in the “California” section of the Los Angeles Times
at least ten consecutive calendar days prior to the hearing. A copy of the notice is
contained in Attachment C.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT
The recommendations presented in this report have no budget or financial impacts.
4
CONCLUSION
The recommended term of the extension is until August 1, 2004. This length of extension
is necessary to complete the process required for implementing a permanent ordinance as
discussed above.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council introduce for first reading the attached interim
ordinance that extends the provisions of the existing interim ordinance until August 1,
2004.

City Council Meeting 5-11-04 Santa Monica, California
ORDINANCE NUMBER ____ (CCS)
(City Council Series)
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA EXTENDING THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW
THRESHOLDS IN C3, C3C AND BSC DISTRICTS TO 7,500 SQUARE FEET AND
EXEMPTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS OF FIFTY UNITS OR LESS
FROM A DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PERMIT OR A CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT CITYWIDE
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) A development review permit is intended to allow the construction of certain
projects for which the design and siting could result in an adverse impact on the
surrounding area such as development that is proposed to be built to a greater intensity
and building height than generally permitted in the area.
(b) A development review permit allows for the review of the location, size, massing
and placement of a proposed structure on the site, particularly as the project relates to the
existing context of the area in which it is located. The development review process is
designed to ensure that the development is compatible with and relates harmoniously with
the surrounding neighborhood.
7
(c) The City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes by zoning district square footage
threshold criteria for development review permits based upon the floor area of a project.
(d) A project that requires a development review permit is subject to public review by
the Planning Commission, with appeal to the City Council, whereas a project below the
development permit review threshold can be administratively approved.
(e) Presently, under the City’s Zoning Ordinance, the City’s development review
thresholds is 30,000 square feet in the downtown zoning districts.
(f) The City has recently modified the development review threshold in the RVC
Residential Visitor, BCD, C2, C4, C5, C6, CM, CP, M1 and LMSD Districts to 7,500 square
feet with certain exceptions, including housing projects with at least 15% of the units deed
restricted as affordable to households with 80% of median incomes and 10% of the units
deed restricted as affordable to households with 60% of median incomes and housing
projects with 100% of the units deed restricted to households with 80% of median incomes.
(g) The City itself is extremely dense with a land area of just eight square miles and
a population of approximately 85,000 people. Additionally, about 300,000 people work in
the City and approximately 500,000 people visit the City on weekends. The downtown
business district is particularly dense and busy.
(h) Since the early 1990's, the City has promoted housing by creating substantial
incentives for developers to build such housing in the downtown area. These incentives
have particularly favored affordable housing.
(i) During recent years, the City has experienced an unprecedented economic
prosperity.
8
(j) As a result of these two factors, and others, construction in the downtown has
boomed, far exceeding expectations. Indeed, as of the date of the initial interim ordinance,
800 new housing units were in various stages of completion in the downtown area, having
obtained either a certificate of occupancy, a building permit, or all necessary City
approvals but a building permit.
(k) Some of the housing developers have taken advantage of the opportunity to
build multiple, large, identical or nearly identical projects on adjacent lots or on lots in
close proximity pursuant to administrative approvals.
(l) These projects helped the City achieve its goal of promoting housing; and, today,
the downtown is home to many Santa Monica residents.
(m) However, the impact upon residents and businesses of the building boom in
general and the building of multiple identical or similar large projects on the same block
has been substantial and dire.
(n) Because such projects have, individually, been beneath the downtown review
threshold of 60,000 square feet, they have been subject to only administrative review.
(o) The Zoning Ordinance's development review thresholds in the downtown area of
the City are too high since these thresholds have resulted in the administrative approval of
projects that create significant adverse impacts on adjacent uses. Yet, given the
ministerial nature of the approval process, the City was not able to mitigate or address
these impacts.
(p) More specifically, these larger scale developments have created adverse noise,
traffic, parking, aesthetic, privacy, light and air, shade and shadow impacts on these
9
residential areas and adverse impacts upon pedestrian orientation, which are incompatible
with the existing scale and character of these neighborhoods.
(q) During the period of May 1997 through May 2002, thirty-three (33) administrative
approvals were issued both for new buildings and additions in the C3, C3C, and BSC
Districts of the City.
(r) The median new building project size equaled over twenty-eight thousand feet
with fourteen projects exceeding forty-eight thousand feet.
(s) Because of the high threshold for discretionary review, residential neighbors and
members of the business community have not had the opportunity to express particular
concerns relating to such issues as the location of loading docks, trash collection sites,
driveway access, and impacts upon light and shade – an opportunity they have in the
discretionary review process.
(t) Consequently, because the downtown has become much more dense in recent
years and because it has become home to a large number of City residents, it is necessary
to lower the development review threshold to ensure that the quality of the area is
preserved for the benefit of residents, workers, and visitors alike. Reducing the
development review threshold to 7,500 square feet would allow thorough review of the
impacts of large projects and enable the public to participate in this review. Reducing the
development review threshold would also ensure that administrative approval is only
available to smaller scale developments which produce far fewer adverse impacts on
nearby residential neighborhoods. However, adoption of this ordinance would not prohibit
any uses currently authorized in the downtown.
10
(u) Indeed, reducing the development review threshold would not alter the City’s
substantial commitment to promoting residential uses in non-residential zoning districts
which is manifest in City policy and law.
(v) Residential development in all of the City’s commercial districts would still be
authorized. Thus, residential development could still occur in over 80% of the City’s
acreage.
(w) Moreover, City policy provides substantial development incentives for residential
housing. For instance, in the BSC, C3, and C3C districts, any floor area devoted to
residential use is eligible to receive a FAR (Floor Area Ratio) discount of 50%. For
instance, a residential development located on two adjoining lots in portions of the C3C
district would be eligible to develop a 60,000 square foot project in contrast to a 30,000
square foot commercial project.
(x) Additionally, the City has eliminated the restriction on the number of stories that
can be built if the structure contains at least one floor of residential use and has increased
the maximum height of projects with a designated number of floors of residential use.
(y) The City’s Affordable Housing Production Program housing fees are also
discounted for residential development in commercial areas.
(z) Additionally, in determining whether a development review permit is required for
new development, floor area devoted to residential uses is discounted by fifty percent
(50%). Thus, even with the proposed changes, residential development of up to 15,000
square feet could be approved administratively.
11
(aa) Further, this ordinance exempts projects that are one hundred percent
affordable to households with incomes of eighty percent of median income or less or
projects that contain a minimum of eighty percent of the floor area is devoted to multi-
family housing with twenty percent of the housing units affordable to households with
incomes of sixty percent of median income or ten percent of the housing units devoted to
households with incomes of fifty percent of median income or less. Such projects could be
administratively approved if the projects were less than 60,000 square feet. This
ordinance would also establish affordable rental housing projects with no more than 50
units as a permitted use in all districts in the City which already authorizes this use and
would eliminate the development review permit requirement for these projects.
(bb) The ordinance’s exemptions for affordable housing projects and projects with a
significant percentage of their units affordable to low income tenants advances several
goals and policies of the City’s Housing Element including, but not limited to, Housing
Element Policy 2.8 (Continue to provide development incentives and reduced planning
fees for development of affordable housing).
(cc) In preparing its 2000-2005 Housing Element, the City contracted with the
policy, financial, and management consulting firm of Hamilton, Rabinovitz & Alschuler
(“HR&A”). HR&A undertook an extensive review and analysis of numerous governmental
programs, policies, and regulations to assess whether they operated as a constraint on
housing development. One of the regulations analyzed was Ordinance No. 1999 (CCS).
However, the C3, C3C, and BSC Districts contain different development standards and
development patterns than those districts covered by Ordinance No. 1999 (CCS) and
12
previously analyzed. Thus, although not generally required in conjunction with the
adoption of an ordinance, the City subsequently retained HR&A and voluntarily undertook
a constraint analysis on the proposed ordinance because of the City’s strong municipal
commitment to fostering affordable housing. HR&A prepared an analysis of the impact
that this proposed ordinance would have on the financial return of multifamily project
applicants for the purpose of assessing whether this ordinance would constitute a
“governmental constraint” within the meaning of State Housing Element Law (“Constraint
Analysis”). HR&A concluded that this ordinance would not constitute a constraint. More
specifically, HR&A concluded that this regulatory change would not operate as a constraint
within the meaning of State Housing Element law because it will not add costs to a project
that are so substantial that it would render an otherwise feasible project to become
infeasible.
(dd) However, for the reasons detailed above, it is not appropriate that all housing
projects above 15,000 square feet continue to be approved without discretionary review
unless these projects constitute affordable housing projects or contain a significant portion
of affordable housing.
(ee) Given the circumstances described above, the Zoning Ordinance requires
review and revision as it pertains to the development review permit threshold in the C3,
C3C, and BSC districts.
(ff) Pending the study and possible amendment of the Zoning Ordinance, it is
necessary, on an interim basis, to extend the modifications to the existing project design
13
and development standards in these districts establishing a 7,500 square foot threshold for
requiring a development review permit.
(gg) In light of these concerns, the City Council adopted Ordinance Number 2058
(CCS) on November 12, 2002 which modified the development review thresholds for the
BSC, C3, and C3C districts until December 27, 2002. The City Council subsequently
adopted Ordinance Number 2060 (CCS) on November 26, 2002 which extended the
provisions of Ordinance Number 2058 (CCS) up to and including June 26, 2004. The
Council directed staff to return with specific design standards for the downtown, study the
appropriate level of review and propose a new review process for development review
permits in the downtown.
(hh) The Planning Commission and the Architectural Review Board conducted a
joint meeting to discuss the proposed amendments on September 10, 2003.
(ii) The City Council conducted a public hearing to preliminarily review the
proposals on October 28, 2003.
(jj) On March 3, 2004, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to adopt a
Resolution of Intention which stated the Commission's intention to recommend
modifications to the City's Zoning Ordinance to the City Council.
(kk) On March 17, 2004 and March 24, 2004, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing on the proposed ordinance and recommended that the City Council approve
the proposed ordinances with certain specified modifications. The proposed ordinance
would modify development standards, design standards, and review procedures in the
downtown zoning districts.
14
(ll) On April 13, 2004, the City Council was scheduled to review and consider this
proposed ordinance. However, the Council continued this hearing to May 11, 2004, which
may leave insufficient time for the enactment of new standards prior to the expiration of
Ordinance No. 2058 (CCS) and Ordinance No. 2060 (CCS).
(mm) As described above, there exists a current and immediate threat to the public
health, safety, or welfare should the interim ordinance not be adopted and should
development inconsistent with the contemplated revisions to the developments standards
be allowed to occur. Approval of additional development inconsistent with the proposed
interim standards would result in a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.
Therefore, the City Council finds that the public health, safety and general welfare require
that the modifications to the development review thresholds be continued on an interim
basis. Consequently, this ordinance extends the provisions of Ordinance No. 2058 (CCS)
and Ordinance No. 2060 (CCS) up to and including August 30, 2004. During this interim
period, the following standards for the BSC, C3, and C3C districts on an interim basis.
(nn) This interim ordinance is consistent with the City’s General Plan, including its
Housing Element. It does not constitute and is not intended to be an amendment to the
City’s Housing Element.
SECTION 2. Interim Zoning.
Except as provided in Sections 3 and 4 of this Ordinance:
(a) No development or permit shall be approved pursuant to Chapter 1 of Article IX
of the Santa Monica Municipal Code for land in the C3 District, unless the following
15
findings are made: The project complies with existing C3 District property development

than seven thousand five hundred square feet of floor area. Square footage devoted to
residential use shall be reduced by fifty percent when calculating whether a development
review permit is required.
(b) No development or permit shall be approved pursuant to Chapter 1 of Article IX
of the Santa Monica Municipal Code for land in the C3C District unless the following
findings are made: The project complies with existing C3C District property development

findings are made: The project complies with existing BSC District property development
standards except, a development review permit is required for any development of more
than seven thousand five hundred square feet of floor area. Square footage devoted to
residential use shall be reduced by fifty percent when calculating whether a development
review permit is required.
SECTION 3. The following projects shall be exempt from this ordinance:
16
(a) Projects that contain a minimum of eighty percent (80%) of floor area devoted to
multi-family residential use provided that at least twenty percent (20%) of the housing units
are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement approved by the City for occupancy by
households with incomes of sixty percent (60%) of median income or less or at least ten
percent (10%) of the housing units are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement
approved by the City for occupancy by households with incomes of fifty percent (50%) of
median income or less. The required percentage of affordable housing units shall not
apply to the 25% State density bonus units if so provided in the project.
(b) Affordable housing projects in which one hundred percent (100%) of the housing
units are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement approved by the City for occupancy
by households with incomes of eighty percent (80%) of median income or less.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, projects in the C3C and BSC
Districts which are required by the City’s Zoning Ordinance to devote more than twenty
percent (20%) of floor area to pedestrian oriented uses shall also be exempt if these
projects contain the maximum percentage of multi-family residential use authorized by the
Zoning Ordinance.
(d) The requirements of subsection (a) of this Section may also be met through the
provision of off-site affordable housing units subject to the following provisions:
(1) The number of off-site affordable housing units provided by the project shall be
at least twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the number of on-site units that would have
been provided by the project to meet the requirements of subdivision (a) of this Section.
17
(2) The affordable housing units shall be developed in accordance with the
requirements of subsections (b) through (g) of Section 9.56.060.
(3) The affordable housing units shall be located in a one hundred percent (100%)
affordable housing project.
(4) At least fifty percent (50%) of the affordable housing units in the project shall be

not be subject to Santa Monica Municipal Code Section 9.04.08.28.040 (v) and (w). All
other property development standards and architectural review requirements of the
Zoning Ordinance in the district in which the parcel is located shall apply. For purposes of
this Section, an affordable rental housing project shall be defined as rental housing in
which 100% of the dwelling units are deed-restricted or restricted by an agreement
approved by the City for occupancy by households with incomes of eighty percent (80%) of
median income or less. An affordable rental housing project may also include non-
residential uses, as long as such uses constitute neighborhood-serving goods, services, or
retail uses that do not exceed fifteen percent of the floor area of the total project and these
neighborhood-serving goods, services or retail uses are designated as permitted uses in
the Zoning Ordinance in the district in which the parcel is located. This Section 4 shall not
apply in the LMSD, the DP, the BP, and the R-MH districts.
SECTION 5. This ordinance shall be of no further force and effect after August 30,
2004, unless prior to that date, after a public hearing, noticed pursuant to Santa Monica
