NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services Department in the Staff Report dated February 6, 2024, are true and correct. SECTION 2. That the City Council finds that based upon the entire record, including all written and oral evidence presented, pursuant to the Arcadia Development Code, all of the following findings can be made. 1. The proposed Development Code amendment is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the General Plan; and any applicable specific plan(s). Facts to Support the Finding: The proposed Text Amendments are in conformance with the General Plan. The Text Amendments proposed effectuate the rezones that implement the City's approved Housing Element, which is an integral part of the General Plan. There are five (5) separate zone change actions being proposed: Expansion of the Downtown Mixed -Use zone, establishment of a Downtown Mixed -Use Overlay, increasing density in the Mixed -Use Zone, Establishment of a Residential Flex Overlay Zone, and Increasing density in the Multi -Family Zone. The Text Amendments provide 3 new code sections or edits to existing sections that support these rezones so that the Development Code and General Plan are internally consistent. The changes to the Downtown Mixed -Use zones, for example, will allow residential development in an urban, mixed -use format, in furtherance of the goals and polices found in the Land Use & Community Design Element, the Economic Development Element, the Circulation and Infrastructure Element and, most importantly, the Housing Element of the General Plan. The upzoning of both of the Mixed -Use Zone and the Multi -Family Residential Zones will enable more dense projects to be built and encourage the development of affordable housing, in furtherance of the goals and polices of the Housing Element and The Land Use & Community Design Element. The City's Housing Element requires that the City meet the State -mandated Regional Housing Needs Allocation. Mixed -use development in what was formerly commercial areas is the most effective and beneficial way to do so. The addition of the Residential Flex Overlay Zone achieves this. For all of these reasons, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan. 2. The proposed amendment is internally consistent with other applicable provisions of this Development Code. Facts to Support the Finding: The purpose of the proposed Text Amendment is to effectuate the rezones required by the Housing Element Implementation Plan. As such, all Divisions of the Development Code have been evaluated to bring them all into compliance with each other, and with the General Plan. In addition to the rezones, additional text amendments to the Development Code are provided as part of this action to meet State law and standards related to the Government Code. As such, the proposed text amendments have been reviewed to ensure they are consistent with the other 4 applicable provisions of the Development Code, as well as State law. Finally, the proposed amendments have been reviewed by the City Attorney for internal consistency to ensure that there are no conflicting standards or uncertainties. SECTION 3. The Rezoning Project has been assessed in accordance with the authority and criteria contained in the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and CEQA Guidelines. An Addendum to the Adopted Initial Study/Negative Declaration ("IS/ND") has been prepared for the project for the City, as the lead agency. The Addendum was prepared pursuant with the requirements of CEQA on the basis that there was no substantial evidence that there may be significant environmental impacts on specific environmental areas because of the project. Subsequent housing developments proposed will, of course, be subject to compliance with CEQA as they are submitted. SECTION 4. That for the foregoing reasons, the City Council approves Text Amendment No. TA 23-02 to amend the text of Article IX, Chapter 1 of the Arcadia Development Code to implement the rezoning strategies of the Housing Element as shown in Exhibit "A." Development Services Staff is authorized to correct typographical errors, spelling, formatting, or codification and to make any minor revisions to improve reader's comprehension of the Development Code provided that any revisions do no alter the regulatory meaning and intent. The Development Services Director or designee is further authorized to make any technical or clerical revisions or clarifications to the Housing Element and/or Development Code as may be required by HCD in order to be in substantial compliance with State law. SECTION 5. The City Clerk shall certify as to the adoption of this Resolution. 9 Passed, approved and adopted this 20th day of February, 2024 y Ma r of the City of Arcadia ATTEST: v City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Michael J.
