PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Amendments and additions to various chamen and sections of thh~ Ordinance to allow for (1) the revision and addition of zoninn definitions, (2) buildinn heinht re (3) buildinn heinht increases for certain commercial and industrial uses, (4) modification of che height lutut in the Beach Overlav Zone. and (5) the establishment of floor area ratios for single f2 duDlex residential uses. The main goal of the Building Height Subcommittee which initiated this zone code amendment Q of larne and buk residential develoument that is overh intense and/or out of scale. ThL 1 amendment d address this Problem bv doing the followinn: (a) It wdl introduce a new buildi definition and method of measuring building heinht, (b) reduce single familv and duplex buildi limits from 35 to 25 feer. and (cl establish floor area ratios for shnk fadv and dudex reside! Other recommendations include the allowance for undermound u ark inn in relation to building h amrocriateness and need for allowinn higher buildinns in commercial and indusmal areas and th rnodifv the budding heinht resmctions in che Beach Area Overlav zone. Attached is Exhibit "x". d 11. 1991 whch contains all the sDecific recommendations and definitions which comorise this. amendment. EWRONMENTAL IMPACrS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmen Assessment to determine if a project may have a signrficant effect on the environment. The Environmen Assessment appears in the fobwing pages in the fonn of a checklist. This checktist identifies any physical, and human factors that xni@~ be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with informatior the basis for deciding w- to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declara- may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project 0: aspects may cause a d@Ucant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to ir determination. * An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspcct of the 1 cause a -can1 effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration I L These findings adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed *can in the checklist under the headings YES-sig" and "YES-insif respectively. .. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appean at the end of the DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALU ATION.

The proposed Zone Code Amendment will not result in unstable earth con&tiox or increase the-uposure of people or property 10 geologic hazards because no actual development is proposed. Only regulations regarding future development are bemg proposed. d future development wll need to comply with all Ciry Standards, lnciuding the issuance of grading permits to prevent unstable earth conditions or the creation of geologic standards due to development and grading. The proposed Zone Code Amendment Will not appreciably change the topography of any site or alter physical features of any site. As shown withn Extubit 'X', [he new building height definition will require that building height be measured from the more restrictive of finished or existing grade so that building height will conform to [he natural topography of a given site; but this Zone Code Amendment itself vdl nor physically alter any sites until development is proposed. No specific development is proposed with this action. The erosion of soils on or off a given site will not be affected by this Zone Code Amendment since all future development will meet applicable City standards and all conditions associated with the issuance of grading permits. 2. 3. - 4. his Zone Code Amendment will not result in any changes h the deposition pattern of beach sands or the alignment of river or streambeds or the bottoms of any lagoow or inlets. The Zone Code Amendment is only mom or adding restrictions tc future development with regards to building height and mass. There will be no impact on air quality from this Building Height Program. Thc reduced residential building height and the potentially increased commercial o industrial height, as well as the result of implementing floor area ratios will no impact air quality or air movement, odor, moisture or temperature. The proposed regulations and modifications to existing building height regulation will not impact the flow of any watercourses nor will it affect the quality or quantir of surface water, groundwater or public water supply. All future development wil go through the standard project review process to ensure that water resources are no adversely impacted. Since no dedoprnent LS proposed with this Zone Code Amendment there wdl be n impacts tuara\lral resources and there will be no need for the use of energy or fue During cbc seradard project review process environmental review will be done 1 assess any potential archeological, historical or cultural resources on a dven site.

Since no SPcafiC deveiopment is proposed, rhere will be no impacrs ro the diveniry of any plat species and there will be no barriers to the normal replenishen[ of edsring plant species. There Will be no introduction of plant species into an area within the City through this building height program. The proposed regulations will not impact agricultural lands of any imponance within the City. Since these regulations are going Cirywide, it would not affecr any specific sire. The environmental review process for a specific project with acreage that ha! agricultural crops of any imponance on it will be identified and mitigated as needec at that rime.

Present or planned land uses of an area will not be affect by this proposed Zone Cod Amendment. Present or planned land uses would only be subjected to the2 regulations regarding building height and/or floor area ratio. There will be n General Plan Amendments associated with this action which would alter any presei or planned land use designations within the City. Since these regulations involve definitions and building heights and floor area ratio there will be no impacts to public utilities or public services such as school, fir! police, etc. There will no adverse impacts to any of the Local Facilities Managemei Plans, per the City's Growth Management Ordinance from the adoption of this Zor Code Amendment. In addition there will be no increased need for modified or ne sewer systems, sanitation systems, or hazardous waste control systems within tl City. The proposed building height program revisions and modifications will not genera noise or affca existing noise levels. The environmental review associated wi specific * will assess noise impacts as part of the standard project revie procm. The antidpad changes and patterns of future development per the recommendatio contained &thin this Zone Code Amendment will not produce any new light or gla other than what is standard and typical for any given development. There will be no explosion or risk of upset due to the adoption of this Zone Cc Amendment which regulates building height and mass of future development. 18/19. 20. 21. 22. -7. e 0 . 23. The density of an area hlthin the City W not be affected by this proposed Zone Code Amendment. The regulation of building height, intensity of deveiopment and utilization of floor area ratio d not affect a projects density. There d be no General PI= Amendments associated with this action, therefore the allowed densities of any area within the City will remain as they currently are. Existing housing will not be affected by this action and there will not be a demand for additional housing created by the adoption of the recommendations comprising this amendment. Future housing, however, shall conform to the new regulatiom as outlined in Exhlbir 'XI. The proposed Zone Code Amendment will not create additional traffic for future development. The residential height reductions do not include any modification 10 the existing parking requirements for those ;ses* [n addition the commercial and indusrrial height increases have, based on specific uses, trip generation rates which would not be increased by the allowance to have a higher building height up to the maximum of three levels as outlined in Exhibit "X'. Since no development is proposed with this Zone Code Amendment, existing parking facilities will not be impacted. In addition, since the ptoposed regdations and revisions do not increase the parking requirement for any gwen use, there wll be no creation of a large demand for parking. The proposed building height modifications for residentid,' industrial and commercial uses will have no corresponding impact to existing or planned transportation systems or the present or planned patterns of circulation of movement of people and/or 24. 2s. 26. - 27. goods. involve the intensity of residential development or the allowance for an increase in 28. Airborne, rail and air traffic will not be impacted by these regulations since they building for certain commercial and industrial uses. Traffic hazards to motor vehicles, bicycles or pedesmans will not be increased by theses proposed regulations. The standard project review process will maximize safety for these modes of transportation through site plan review. This propogcd zone code amendment will have no impact on emergency response plans or - evacuation plans. There is no impact to these types of plans from the vaxiat$m Q regulation of building height or floor area. No scdc vltcrr will be obstructed and aesthetically offensive views will not be created by the implementation of the proposed building height regulations. One of the goals of this program is to eliminate or reduce the ocmce of aestheticdy offensive public views in the form of large residential smcrures (single family/duplexes) on small lots that create projects that are out of scale with their lot 29. 30. 31. size and developed too intensely. -8- a c 32.
