Hearing
1702
ZMA 2004-68
for Rosemary
Lane, Fairview St.
and Niagara St. |
Mayor Ramos stated
that �this is the time and place for the hearing on Project No. 2004-68, a
proposed Zone Map Amendment. The proposed zone map amendment would rezone
properties on Rosemary Lane, Fairview Street, and Niagara Street between
Verdugo Avenue and Clark Avenue. The proposed zone text amendment
addresses legal non-conforming issues. The items for consideration
tonight are a Negative Declaration and an Ordinance adopting the proposed
Zone Map Amendment and Zone Text Amendment.�
|
|
Notice
Given |
The City Clerk was
asked if notices had been given as required by law. She replied in the
affirmative and advised that 37 pieces of correspondence were received, 25
of which were in favor and 12 in opposition to the Zone Map Amendment.
She added that all correspondence had been provided to the Council and
made available for the public.
|
|
Staff
Report |
Mr. Forbes, Senior
Planner, Community Development Department, requested that the Council
consider a Zone Map Amendment that would change the zoning designation of
Rosemary
Lane, Fairview Street and Niagara Street between Verdugo Avenue and Clark
Avenue from the R-3 Zone to the R-2 Zone. He recounted that the Council
directed staff to initiate a Zone Map Amendment process following the
denial of a Development Review application for a proposed project on
Fairview Street. He noted that the goal of the zone change would be to
preserve the neighborhood character. With the aid of several visual maps
he illustrated the number of existing units in the subject area, the
maximum number of units allowed per the current zoning Code, and the
maximum number of units that would be allowed per the proposed Zone Map
Amendment.
Mr. Forbes noted
that 18 properties on
Rosemary Lane are
built at a density higher than that allowed by the R-2 standards, with
each lot having one more unit than would be permitted. He added that
under current Code standards, these properties would be considered legal
non-conforming with respect to the number of units on the properties. He
reported that in an effort to avoid the creation of non-conforming
properties, staff considered an option that would downzone
Fairview Street
and Niagara Street to R-2 and maintain R-3 zoning for
Rosemary Lane.
He noted that while this option would preserve the duplex nature of
Fairview Street and Niagara Street, substantial additional development
would be allowed on Rosemary Lane thereby not furthering the goal of
maintaining the neighborhood character. He added that staff considered
another option that would downzone Fairview Street and Niagara Street to
R-2 and create a new zoning density on
Rosemary Lane,
but the option would allow two properties to be developed with an
additional unit while requiring the creation of a new zone and density not
currently used in the City.
Mr. Forbes informed
the Council that staff recommended changing the zoning designation of the
entire neighborhood to R-2 and a Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) that would
establish that residential developments are not to be considered
non-conforming solely on the basis of having more dwelling units than
permitted under the existing zoning, and would allow accidentally
destroyed multi-family structures to be rebuilt to their previous
configuration including the number of units with approval of an
Administrative Use Permit (AUP). However, he noted that the R-2 option
would not guarantee the protection of the neighborhood character although
the incentives for new development would be decreased. He added that R-2
zoning would still allow for new two-story structures to be built and for
second stories to be added to existing structures.
Mr. Forbes also
informed the Council that the Planning Board considered the proposed Zone
Map Amendment on
July 12, 2004.
He reported that some Board members expressed concern regarding staff�s
recommended option as it would create non-conforming properties on
Rosemary Lane
despite the proposed ZTA. He added that the Board voted to recommend an
alternate option of downzoning Fairview Street and Niagara Street to R-2
and re-zoning Rosemary Lane to a new zone with a density of one unit per
2,500 square feet of lot area to avoid creating non-conforming properties.
He stated that the Board recognized that the proposed zone change would
not guarantee that the current neighborhood character would remain intact.
He also reported that the Board recommended that existing non-conforming
multi-family structures be allowed to rebuild to their pre-existing
configuration with an AUP when destroyed by any means, including voluntary
demolition. He noted that staff did not recommend allowing voluntarily
destroyed non-conforming structures to be rebuilt with an AUP as a
precedent would be set, and added that staff believed that the best way to
maintain the existing character in the neighborhood would be to promote
maintenance of the existing structures. He also commented on the
correspondence received on the hearing, the majority of which was in favor
of downzoning
Fairview Street
and Niagara Street and opposed to downzoning Rosemary Lane.

Tommie Minard; Sharon Perkins; Leota Bancroft; Sally Aquila; and, Theresa

|
Hearing
Closed |
There being no further response to the Mayor�s invitation for oral
comment, the hearing was declared closed.
|
|
Rebuttal by
Staff |
In response to
public comment, Mr. Forbes responded that the Zone Map Amendment was
consistent with the General Plan and is not considered as a spot
downzoning action since the zoning boundaries have been previously laid
out and several streets are targeted. He added that neighborhood character
preservation is not necessarily an issue of historical or architectural
value of the structures but a matter of preserving the existing
neighborhood character. He also noted that staff did not conduct an
appraisal or formal financial analysis of the proposed zone change but
cited anecdotal evidence of the relatively high rate of owner occupancy in
the neighborhood in addition to the comment letters and testimony received
from both owners and tenants which indicated that there is demand for
living in the neighborhood and therefore taking action to preserve it will
maintain the demand. He also clarified the notification process for the
public hearing.
|
|
Council
Deliberations |
It was the Council�s
consensus to downzone
Fairview Street and
Niagara Street to R-2 and maintain Rosemary Lane as an R-3 Zone, pending a
discussion on the matter at an upcoming Council meeting in conjunction
with multi-family development standards. It was noted that compatibility
standards could prevent overbuilding in the meantime. The Council also
approved the related Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) that would allow
multi-family structures made non-conforming because of a zone change to be
rebuilt with approval of an Administrative Use Permit in the event they
are destroyed. The ZTA also adds a provision to the Burbank Municipal Code
that provides for multi-family structures to not be considered
non-conforming solely on the basis of having more units than allowed by
Code.

Mrs. Fletcher,

$100 payment increment for Master Card or American Express payments. She
noted that the Council expressed concern about the fee and customers
expressed dissatisfaction with the sliding fee scale and the fact that
Visa was not being accepted. Based on this input, she stated that staff
contacted OPC to negotiate a new agreement and OPC agreed to a reduced fee
of $4.95 for each $300 payment increment in addition to securing Visa as a
participant. She noted that the fee for the electronic check payment is
$5 for payments of up to $10,000 or $20 for payments over $10,000.

Approve MOU
with the BCEA,
Compensation
Plan for Mid-
Management,
Differential Pay
For Police
Captains,
Executive Compensation Plan for Dept.
Managers and
Appointed Officers |
Mrs. Sarquiz,
Management Services Director, requested Council consideration of the
compensation packages for the Burbank City Employees Association (BCEA),
as well as the Unrepresented Managers and Executives, including the
Appointed Officials. She noted that staff adhered to the City�s
compensation policy, including: the condition of the economy as reflected
by the Consumer Price Index (CPI); capacity in the City�s approved budget;
commitment to pay for performance; and, equity in the marketplace. She
reported that the BCEA accepted the City�s offer of a 2.40 percent salary
increase for BCEA positions. In addition to the CPI adjustment, she
stated that the BCEA agreed to a reduction in the out-of-pocket medical
pool from $130 to $75 dollars per month for qualified employees. She
added that the total increase for the BCEA package is 2.52 percent;
however, the out-of-pocket medical premium contribution will end on
September 30, 2004 making the recurring cost of the Fiscal Year (FY)
2004-05 package 2.40 percent.
Mrs. Sarquiz
informed the Council that due to budgetary constraints in FY 2003-04,
compensation for the Unrepresented Managers and Executives was brought to
approximately 40 percent of the total average 12-City survey. As such, she
noted that a marketplace survey for FY 2004-05 was not conducted and that
the proposed 2.50 percent increase would bring these groups to
approximately 98 percent of the FY 2003-04 survey. She clarified that
these survey adjustments would only be in the ranges and any employee
adjustments would be performance based and require a performance
evaluation. In addition to these adjustments, she stated that the
Professional Development funds would be incorporated into the respective
cafeteria plans, thereby reducing the costs associated with the
administration of the program. She also noted the elimination of the
Volunteer Employees Beneficiary Association program for all Unrepresented
Managers and Executives with the exception of the Police Captains and
Police Chief.

Salaries for
Elected Officials
and City Council |
Mrs. Sarquiz,
Management Services Director, presented the compensation package for the
City Clerk, City Treasurer and Council for consideration. She noted that a
similar methodology used for the Executives� compensation package would
amount to a 5.12 percent increase for the City Clerk and City Treasurer
positions. She also noted that the annual Professional Development funds
would be converted to cafeteria dollars in order to help offset rising
medical premiums over the past several years.
Mrs. Sarquiz also
reported that pursuant to California Government Code � 36516 (c), the
Council�s compensation can only be increased up to a maximum of five
percent from the previous year. She added that the Fiscal Year (FY)
2003-04 survey showed that the Council positions were 15.21 percent below
survey average. She noted that although the Council�s compensation was
increased by 2.50 percent in FY 2003-04, the positions are still 12.47
percent below survey.
It was the Council�s
consensus that the compensation for the City Clerk and City Treasurer be
increased by 3 percent.
