A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. GP 10-
01 TO MODIFY THE DENSITY BONUS ALLOWED FOR LOW AND
VERY LOW SENIOR CITIZEN HOUSING IN THE COMMERCIAL
ZONES.
WHEREAS, on March 10, 2010, Ashwood Construction filed an application for a
General Plan Amendment to adjust the density bonus allowed for low and very low
income senior housing in the C -2 zone; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 11, 2010 at
which time all interested persons were given full opportunity to be heard and to present
evidence; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission referred the application for a General Plan
Amendment to the City Council with its recommendation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on July 6, 2010, which
was duly noticed in the newspaper and mailed to all property owners and tenants within
a 300 foot radius.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA,
CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the factual data submitted by the Development Services
Department in the attached report dated July 6, 2010 are true and correct.
SECTION 2. The City Council finds:
a. That the request to modify the density bonus allowed for low and very low
income senior citizen housing in the Commercial Zones does not conflict with the
General Plan Land Use Designation of any surrounding or nearby properties.
b. That the General Plan is proposed to be amended to allow for a density
bonus of up to 30% above the existing maximum density of 63 dwelling units per acre in
Commercial Zones for affordable senior housing if all of the residential units in the
project are limited to low- income (50 % -60% of median income) and very-low income
(less than 50% of median income) units.
c. That the evaluation of the environmental impacts as set forth in the initial
study are appropriate and that the project will have no significant effect upon the
environment within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970,
and, when considering the project as a whole, there is no evidence before the City that
the proposed project would have any potentially adverse effect on wildlife resources or
the habitat upon which wildlife depends, and therefore, a Negative Declaration has been
approved.
SECTION 3. That for the foregoing reasons the City Council approves General
Plan Amendment No. GP 10 -01 based upon the information submitted by the Applicant
to the City as of date of this Resolution.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
Passed, approved and adopted this 6th day of July , 2010.
