AI Contract Overview

The City of South Pasadena is implementing amendments to its General Plan Land Use, Open Space, and Housing Elements, the Downtown Specific Plan, the Zoning Code, and the Zoning Map to facilitate the 2021-2029 Sixth Cycle Housing Element. These changes focus on revising height limits, density standards, and development standards to ensure RHNA compliance. Key updates to the General Plan include aligning maximum heights between 45 and 70 feet and correcting calculation errors within the Housing Element tables, though these specific amendments are contingent upon approval from the Housing and Community Development Department. Specific modifications to the Downtown Specific Plan include adjusting the Fair Oaks Corridor Zone to a density of 90 units per acre with a 70-foot height limit, and updating the Mixed Use Core Zone with varying densities and heights ranging from 50 to 70 units per acre and 50 to 55 feet. Zoning changes include increasing the maximum building height from 45 to 55 feet in the Mixed Use Overlay and Housing Opportunity Overlay zones, modifying the Housing Opportunity Overlay boundaries in the Ostrich Farm and Huntington Drive areas, and establishing a CF-50 Zoning District for high-intensity multifamily housing on certain religious or private school sites exceeding two acres. This project is supported by a CEQA Notice of Exemption and is managed by the City of South Pasadena.
