Undergrounding
Utility Overhead
Lines Study
Session |
Mr. Simay, Assistant
General Manager, Burbank Water and Power, informed the Council that
Burbank has
approximately 100 circuit miles of underground lines and 275 circuit miles
of overhead lines. He added that 173 of the overhead lines reside amongst
rear property lines and alleys, with the remaining 102 line miles on
streets and thoroughfares. He stated that approximately 12 street miles
are considered view corridors, including: Olive Avenue; Burbank High
School; Burroughs High School; Hollywood Way; Airport Train Station; and,
Victory Boulevard. He also noted that the City has eight street miles of
overhead street lighting with power lines in the alleys.
Mr. Simay then
discussed the undergrounding process and noted that staff coordinates with
other departments to concurrently complete undergrounding services prior
to final street resurfacing which could reduce undergrounding costs by 30
or 40 percent. He noted the challenge of getting foreign utilities to
underground their services at the same time, short of which communication
and foreign power lines remain after the City�s power lines are
undergrounded.
Mr. Simay discussed
the undergrounding policies of other utilities as well as the percentage
of electric revenues that have been set aside to accelerate the process.
He concluded with staff�s recommendation that public forums be held to
assess public support for the project and that a subcommittee be
established to: revise the undergrounding policy as it relates to
establishing an undergrounding utility district; recommend a policy on
customer-related costs associated with converting services from overhead
to underground service; and, review the requirement that new customers
install undergrounding conduit at property lines to facilitate future
undergrounding efforts, noting that this is already a requirement for
major multi-family developments. He informed the Council that setting
aside utility revenues at a two percent rate would underground
approximately 12 street miles in 10 to 20 years.
It was the Council�s
consensus that staff pursue establishing an undergrounding subcommittee,
an undergrounding district and increase the funding amount from a quarter
percent to a half percent of retail electric revenues. In addition, the
Council would review the utility�s retained earnings on an annual basis
and consider establishing an undergrounding fund with one-time
appropriations similar to the process established for the alley and
sidewalk improvement projects. The Council also expressed support for
prioritizing the target view corridors and holding public meetings for
community input.

Hearing
1701
ZTA Regarding
Non-Conforming
Structures |
Mayor Ramos stated that �this is the time and place for the hearing on
amending Chapter 31 of the Burbank Municipal Code relating to enlargements
and restorations of non-conforming structures, exceptions for side yard
setbacks.�
|
|
Notice
Given |
The City Clerk was asked if notices had been given as required by law.
She replied in the affirmative and
noted that the City
Clerk�s Office received two pieces of correspondence from Cynthia
Cavanaugh and Phil and Jeanie Hamilton in support of the Zone Text
Amendment.
|
|
Staff
Report |
Mr. Bowler,
Assistant Planner, Community Development Department, requested that the
Council consider a Zone Text Amendment to delete or amend provisions in
the Zoning Code that allow non-conforming residential structures to be
added to, expanded or substantially rebuilt at existing substandard
setback lines. He noted that in recent years, the Council has received
numerous complaints regarding the height, size and mass of several new and
remodeled single-family structures. He added that on
March 23, 2004,
the Council directed staff to undertake a review of the current
single-family development standards and to expedite changes to Code
provisions dealing with substandard side yard setbacks.
Mr. Bowler stated
that the Code currently allows for single-family residences built at
non-conforming setbacks to be expanded along the existing substandard
setback line. He noted that the proposed Zone Text Amendment will require
that henceforth, all enlargements and additions to non-conforming
structures must meet current Code standards. He added that the proposed
amendment would also clarify standards for when a structure that is
partially destroyed or demolished may be rebuilt to its previous
configuration, and when it must be rebuilt to current Code standards.
Finally, he stated that the proposed amendment would provide a method for
allowing the City Planner or Building Official to allow minor exceptions
to the side yard setback standards for single-family residences in
situations where rigidly enforcing current zoning standards would: cause
health or safety problems; be structurally or architecturally unviable;
or, cause unreasonable financial hardship. He noted that the amended
section provides specific guidance to the officials for allowing such
exceptions, and emphasizes that such exceptions should be allowed only to
the minimum extent necessary to alleviate the situation.
|
|
Citizen
Comment |
Appearing to comment were
Robert Peren,
stating that he is in the process of remodeling his home and requesting an
exception for his project; Mike Nolan, citing his exception to specific
language in the proposed ordinance which he believes is not adequately
defined; and, Galen Bieker, in opposition to the ordinance and requesting
that the Council conduct further study before making a decision.
|
|
Hearing
Closed |
There being no further response to the Mayor�s invitation for oral
comment, the hearing was declared closed.
|
|
Staff response |
In response to
public comment, Mr. Bowler stated that under the current regulations, an
individual proposing to expand a residence with a substandard setback has
the right to do so at a substandard setback line and that the proposed
changes would require that the expansion meet current Code. He added that
the minor exceptions rule would only allow for situations where it is not
practical to enforce the full effect of the new Code provisions but would
not require any less setback than that currently allowed. He also gave
further clarification on setback requirements for second floor levels and
noted that staff is undertaking an on-going effort to solicit community
input on revised R-1 development standards. He announced that the next
community meeting is scheduled for
July 14, 2004 at
6:30 p.m.
at the Buena Vista Library.
|
|
Council deliberations |
Mr. Vander Borght
noted the urgency of the matter due to the economy, current housing market
and low interest rates. He stated that substandard setbacks result in
building homes which are extremely large and impact the neighborhoods. He
recognized that there are certain lots that do not conform to the City�s
standards and stated that such homeowners would be entitled to seeking
variances. He expressed support for allowing staff the discretion to grant
minor deviations and suggested that staff consider an administrative
procedure established by the City of
Los Angeles which
requires the applicant to obtain signatures of the adjoining property
owners indicating that they are aware of the applicant�s request. He also
noted that this was the first step necessary to halt the indiscriminate
construction of large two-story homes.
Ms. Murphy requested
clarification on non-conforming setbacks with regard to rebuilding
destroyed property, Mr. Bowler responded.
Mr. Golonski
recognized the concerns with mansionization and noted that while he
believed staff was moving in the right direction with regard to height
restrictions and lot coverage, he was concerned with costs associated with
the requirement of a five-foot second story setback in an instance where
the property has a non-conforming four-foot side yard setback. He stated
that the ordinance was too restrictive and expressed support for more
flexibility being given to property owners, noting that massive structures
are not the result of narrowness of the side yards but excessive lot
coverage. He suggested that the minimum setback standard be three feet,
with exceptions to particular lots such as corner lots, and noted that
shrinking the permitted lot coverage in cases with substandard side yard
setbacks would limit the size of homes being built.
Mr. Vander Borght
noted that a five-foot setback requirement is an industry standard and
stated that it is impossible to mitigate a two-story wall no matter how
well built or decorated. He expressed support for a six-foot setback
requirement for second floor levels.
Ms. Murphy agreed
with Mr. Vander Borght and expressed support for greater setback
requirements for second floor levels to meet the privacy expectation in
R-1 neighborhoods.
Mr. Campbell also
agreed with Mr. Vander Borght and noted the need to preserve R-1
neighborhoods by not allowing too much growth and density. He expressed
support for staff�s recommendation to grant minor exceptions and requested
that projects submitted for plan check prior to the second reading of the
ordinance be exempt.
Mr. Golonski further
argued for allowing more flexibility on the setback requirements and noted
the prohibitive cost for homeowners who may want to add a second story to
their property. He noted that what was being proposed would not solve the
mansionization issue and suggested more flexibility with exceptions in
order to prevent excessive lot coverage. He noted that a property with
five-foot setbacks could still be out of scale compared to the lot.
Mrs. Ramos agreed
with Mr. Golonski and noted that whereas this ordinance is a step in
dealing with mansionization, she did not believe it was the right first
step to take. She added that owners of smaller lots will be impacted and
that side yard setbacks alone do not address the mansionization issue. She
noted that front and back setbacks contribute to the mansionization
problem.
Ms. Murphy noted
that it would not be consistent to have varying setback requirements for
multi-family and single-family properties.

75 � Downtown
Restaurants |
Mayor Ramos stated that �this is the time and place for the hearing on
amending Chapter 31 of the Burbank Municipal Code relating to the central
business district downtown parking area and permitting downtown restaurant
uses with an Administrative Use Permit.�
|
|
Notice

of Market City Caffe, in support of the proposed ordinance.

|
Staff
Report |
Mrs. Forbes,
Principal Planner, Community Development Department, requested that the
Council consider a proposed Zone Text Amendment regarding the requirement
for an Administrative Use Permit (AUP) for new restaurants in the Downtown
area. She explained that Downtown Burbank is an eight-block area bounded
by Angeleno
Avenue to the south, First Street to the west, Magnolia Boulevard to the
north and Third Street to the east.
Mrs. Forbes informed
the Council that in the early 1990s, the City took several economic
development measures to improve the local economy after the exodus of
Lockheed Corporation, including: direct and indirect financial incentives;
a development impact fee credit pool; streamlining the Development Review
process; and, the creation of the Downtown Parking District (District) in
1992. She noted the purpose of the District was to stimulate activity in
the Downtown and attract tenants who were having difficulty locating in
this area due to parking constraints. She added that under the District, a
tenant could occupy any existing space without providing additional
parking, provided the use was permitted. She noted that staff has
determined that there is a need to evaluate the assumptions of the
District and to consider constraints on the types of uses taking advantage
of the parking. She explained that in order to create a balance and make
shared parking feasible, there needs to be a mix of uses that are
complimentary to the restaurants and theatres. She added that the AUP
process would allow the City to carefully consider new restaurants in
order to promote a diverse and vibrant downtown economy and to determine
if the parking demand for the restaurant would impact and/or contribute to
the shared parking concept of the District. She clarified that the
proposed ordinance would allow new restaurants to occupy a space of a
previously-existing restaurant without the AUP requirement if the new
restaurant provided the same or improved type of service. She also noted
that staff is proposing a noticing requirement for property owners and
tenants in the Downtown area and mentioned that the ordinance provides for
an appeal process to the Planning Board and Council.
Mrs. Forbes
acknowledged that although the AUP process may not be the best approach to
accomplish the goals, it will provide an additional level of scrutiny in
situations when retail space is being converted to restaurant use which
may affect the balance of uses that are important to the shared parking
concept in the Downtown. She noted that the best way to evaluate the
shared parking agreement and quality tenant type is to revisit the shared
parking assumptions, conduct a new parking study and create new
development standards based on the findings. She noted that the City is
undertaking a new parking study that will specifically address peak
parking demands and will be presented to the Downtown Parking Management
Committee accompanied by a parking management plan. She noted that as the
study and plan are still pending final review and approval, and as an
additional analysis may take several months, it is necessary to establish
a review process considering the rapid changes in the Downtown.
Mrs. Forbes stated
that the ordinance will not apply to existing restaurants or to
restaurants taking the place of a previously-existing restaurant; however,
an evaluation will be necessary to determine that the new restaurant falls
into a similar category as the previous restaurant or will be considered
an improvement, otherwise the restaurant will be subject to the AUP
process for careful analysis. She added that the process would not apply
to Downtown businesses that have Planned Developments.
Mrs. Forbes also
noted that the Planning Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the ordinance at their special meeting of
May 17, 2004 and
suggested that staff add a sunset clause to ensure that the AUP
requirement is lifted for uses that should not require additional
discretion once new standards are developed. She added that the Downtown
Burbank Partnership, Inc. (Property-based Business Improvement District)
Board of Directors also voted 9-0 to recommend approval of the ordinance
at their special meeting of June 2, 2004.

|
Citizen
Comment |
Appearing to comment were
Mike Nolan and David
Piroli, in opposition to the ordinance; and, Mark Barton, on parking
availability.
|
|
Staff response |
In response to
public comment, Mrs. Forbes clarified that the ordinance is not proposing
to limit food types but types of restaurants as defined by the
Institute of
Transportation Engineers, such as family type, high turn-over, sit down,
etc. She also noted that the ordinance focuses on maintaining a balanced
mix of uses since a concentration of either retail or restaurant uses will
have an impact on parking availability.
|
|
Hearing
Closed |
There being no further response to the Mayor�s invitation for oral
comment, the hearing was declared closed.
|
|
Council deliberation |
Mr. Golonski
disagreed with public comment that the Council should let supply and
demand rule and noted that in such an environment, each restaurant would
be required to provide adequate parking for its patrons. He added that as
a result, there would be no restaurants in the Downtown since there is no
availability of such parking. He noted that the City undertook building
public parking structures and implementing the shared parking concept
which has been successful for the restaurants and expressed support for
the ordinance as a tool to ensure that public parking is not unfairly
taken advantage of.
Ms. Murphy agreed
with Mr. Golonski and noted that there is a difference in the types of
restaurants and since parking is an issue in the Downtown area she would
not like to exacerbate the situation.
Mr. Vander Borght
noted that the Downtown area is a continuous work in progress and stated
that the free market environment on its own would not have provided the
development in the area today. He stated that the ordinance will provide
staff with another tool to control the balance of uses.
Mr. Campbell noted
that the ordinance is an effort to maintain momentum in the Downtown and
ensure that there is an infusion of energy. He also stated that the
Planning Board was prudent to require a sunset clause in the proposed
ordinance.
Mrs. Ramos noted
that specific uses in the Downtown have specific impacts and in particular
parking, which is of great concern to the City. She noted that the
ordinance moves the City in the right direction of parking management.

Joint Mtg. w/
Redev. Agency
1208
AHA w/BHC for
2321 N. Fairview
and 2321-2323 N.
Catalina |
Mr. Solomon, Housing Development Manager, Community Development
Department, requested that the Redevelopment Agency (Agency) Board approve
an Affordable Housing Agreement (Agreement) with the Burbank Housing
Corporation (BHC) to finance the BHC�s acquisition and rehabilitation of
rental units at 2321 North Fairview Street and 2321-2323 North Catalina
Street (Properties) in the Golden State Focus Neighborhood as a
mixed-income, affordable housing project inclusive of an activity center;
and, City Council approval of a Relocation Plan for the Properties. He
noted that the acquisition and rehabilitation of the Properties is part of
the Agency�s overall strategy to rehabilitate deteriorated properties,
operate them as mixed-income properties with an affordability component
and to develop an activity center to provide services that will help
integrate tenants into the community.
Mr. Solomon informed the Agency Board that since the inception of the BHC
in 1997, 187 affordable rental units have been developed in Burbank�s
focused neighborhoods. He noted that the project would double BHC�s
holdings in the Golden State Focus Neighborhood and provide an opportunity
for the introduction of an activity center. He explained that the
Properties are located in an R-4 medium density residential neighborhood
and are comprised of three parcels at two separate sites. He stated that
combined the two locations encompass 18 residential units; 14 one-bedroom
units (two of which are studio units); and, four two-bedroom units.
Mr. Solomon discussed that under the terms of the Agreement, the Agency
would lend the BHC $3.143 million in Low and Moderate-Income Housing Funds
to: 1) pay for the cost of acquisition; 2) off-set all estimated direct
costs associated with building rehabilitation and site work; and, 3) fund
indirect costs for closing, permits and fees. In addition, he stated that
the Agency is to budget an estimated $105,000 for relocation costs
incurred in the displacement of four households. He added that the
Agreement also specifies that: work will include the demolition of three
units at 2321-2323 North Catalina Street which will include a duplex
comprised of two studio units and a small one-bedroom detached
single-family dwelling at the rear of the site; the remaining building is
a single-family unit which the BHC is proposing to convert into an
activity center by adding approximately 400 square feet and reconfiguring
the internal layout; and, rehabilitation of the remaining 14 units will
entail treatment of environmental contaminants such as asbestos and lead
based paint, remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms, introduction of new
exterior treatments such as doors and windows, repainting, upgrading
electrical and other systems, site work and landscaping. He added that
structured as a mixed-income project, the BHC is to rent all units at an
affordable rate to very low, low and moderate-income households and remain
affordable in perpetuity.
Mr. Solomon stated that in a separate action, the City Council is
requested to approve a Relocation Plan to allow for the conversion of a
renter-occupied single-family unit into a new activity center and for the
demolition of three other units. He added that on May 11, 2004, the City
Council approved a Draft Relocation Plan which was made available for a
30-day public review period before initiating any relocation activities,
including issuance of 90-day notices to vacate. He noted that no public
comment was received and staff requested that the Council approve the
Relocation Plan following the end of the 30-day public review period.

Senior Citizen
Board Vacancy
Appointment |
Mrs. Campos, City Clerk,
requested that the Council consider making one appointment to an unexpired
term on the Senior Citizen Board ending June 1, 2006. She explained that
the Senior Citizen Board was established by Burbank Municipal Code Section
2-415 and consists of seven members who are appointed to four-year terms.
Mrs. Campos informed the
Council that currently, there is one vacancy of an unexpired term ending
June 1, 2006. She noted that on May 21, 2004, the City Clerk's Office
