R-1 IDCO and
Basements in
Single-Family
Residential Zones |
A status report was received from the Community Development Department,
stating that an Interim Development Control Ordinance (IDCO) was adopted
by the Council on September 14, 2004 and extended on October 26, 2004 in
an effort to establish interim development standards for the R-1, R-1-E
and R-1-H single-family residential zones while staff completes work on
the ongoing study of single-family development standards. The report
indicated that following public comment, the Council requested that staff
study the matter of excluding basements in the Floor Area Ratio (FAR)
calculation to provide an opportunity for homeowners to create additional
space without adding to the above-ground mass of the house.
Staff indicated that two community meetings have been scheduled on
Thursday, January 27, 2005 and Wednesday, February 9, 2005 at 6:30 p.m. at
the Burbank High School library to receive community input on existing
concerns with new and remodeled single-family homes and on staff�s
proposal of revised standards. However, the report stated that staff
continues to find that the interim standards have not generally affected
single-family development and that the vast majority of homeowners adding
on to their homes are not proposing to build homes even as large as what
would still be permitted under the interim standards.
Staff was generally supportive of exempting basements from FAR
calculations subject to the following requirements:
1.
The finished floor level of the first floor may not extend more
than 24 inches above the adjoining ground surface for more than 50 percent
of the perimeter of the structure;
2.
On lots with a grade difference of more than ten feet, the finished
floor level of the first floor may not extend more than six feet above the
adjoining ground surface for more than 50 percent of the perimeter of the
structure;
3.
The basement space exempted from FAR must be located directly
beneath an enclosed space that is included in the FAR calculation (i.e.
below the first floor and not below an open patio, deck or garage);
4.
The basement area is included in the total house square footage for
the purposes of determining the number of required off-street parking
spaces; and,
5.
The basement area in an accessory structure is counted toward the
300 square foot limitation on accessory structures before a Conditional
Use Permit is required.
Staff also recommended that this issue be addressed in the comprehensive
update of R-1 standards rather than being handled as a separate issue.
The report was noted and filed.

Continued
Deliberations on
the Airport Dev.
Agreement |
Mr. Forbes, Senior
Planner, Community Development Department, reported that on
January 18, 2005,
the Council identified possible changes to the Airport Development
Agreement (Agreement) and related documents. He added that staff has
evaluated the seven issues raised by the Council and opined that five of
them could be reasonably included in the Agreement, including: the City�s
ability to lobby for changes in Federal law; the requirement that the
Authority provide shade trees elsewhere at the Airport if the Code
required shading is not satisfied at the A-1 North parking facility;
revisions to the title transfer agreements with regard to the automatic
sale of the Trust Property at the end of the 10-year period; revisions to
require City approval of a Specific Plan for any portion of the Trust
Property that the Authority elects to sell prior to the end of the 10-year
agreement period; and, amended language with regard to encumbrances and
that the Authority be prohibited from entering into any lease that would
allow use of the property beyond ten years, and that all uses and
structures be removed from the property at the end of the ten-year period
to ensure that the property is completely vacant and ready to be sold. He
also noted five additional recommendations provided by staff.
Mr. Forbes informed
the Council that staff is not recommending any changes to the Agreement
and related documents with regard to requiring changes to the Authority�s
standard avigation easement and requiring the Authority to sell
approximately 26 acres of Airport property to offset the Authority�s
proposed acquisition on a portion of the A-1 North property. He noted that
staff deemed it not feasible to incorporate these changes to the Agreement
and related documents. He also addressed public comment with regard to
the Noise Attenuation Ordinance; and, the pros and cons of the Agreement
versus zoning changes.
Peter Kirsch,
Special Counsel, Kaplan, Kirsch & Rockwell, addressed the Council
regarding the avigation easement and the requirement to sell 26 acres, and
responded to questions posed by members of the public during oral
communications with regard to imposing a moratorium on litigation; and, on
a noise variance hearing at the expiration of avigation easements.
Ms. Murphy disclosed
that she held discussions with Commissioner Brown and Dios Marrero,
Airport Executive Director, regarding the matter.
Mr. Golonski
disclosed that he held discussions with the
Burbank
Airport
commissioners on the matter.

�discussion of the avigation easement issue be added to the Noise Working
Group�s agenda for review and to evaluate if there is a mechanism to make
it less onerous but achieve the intent of the Authority.�
|
|
Motion |
It was moved by Mr. Vander Borght, seconded by Mr. Golonski and carried
that �the Noise Attenuation Ordinance be amended to eliminate its
application to cases of involuntary demolition such as due to a fire,
earthquake or other disaster.�
|
|
Motion |
It was moved by Mr. Golonski and seconded by Mr. Campbell that �the
following resolutions be adopted and the following ordinances be

|
Mr. Golonski, Ms. Murphy, Mr. Campbell and Mrs. Ramos commented in support
of the Agreement as the best course of action.
Mr. Vander Borght expressed concern with the Airport�s acquisition of an
additional 26 acres of land and urged the Council to reconsider a
requirement that the Authority immediately divest itself of 26 acres of
land elsewhere.

Transit Services
Task Force |
Mr. Herrmann,
Assistant Community Development Director/ Transportation, presented the
recommendations of the Transit Services Task Force that was formed in June
2004 and is comprised of: two Council Members; one member of the Park,
Recreation and Community Services Board; two members of the Transportation
Commission; one representative of the Senior Advisory Committee; and, one
representative of the Disabled Advisory Committee. He noted that the
Transit Services Task Force was formed to review existing transit services
within the City and develop recommendations for expanding those services
where appropriate. He described the existing transportation programs,
including: Burbank Transportation Services; Got Wheels!; Burbank Local
Transit (BLT); and, Supper Shuttle vans.
Mr. Herrmann
informed the Council that the Task Force recommends that three phases of
service expansions be made to the BLT program as follows:
Phase I �
establishment of a Media District-Red Line Connector, a new shuttle
service that would provide a connection between the Media District and
Magnolia
Park areas, and the Metro Rail Red Line station in
North Hollywood
at an estimated annual cost of $93,000, with a $15,000 start-up cost. He
noted that this service can be implemented by late February 2005.
Phase II
-
Conversion of the existing on-demand Downtown and Airport BLT service to
two separate fixed routes. He explained that the Downtown shuttle would
loop through the Downtown area during the same hours proposed for the Red
Line Connector, shuttling passengers to and from the Metrolink Station and
other locations and operating on a 20-minute headway or service frequency.
He added that the second fixed route would connect the Downtown Metrolink
Station and the Airport/Empire area with a 20-minute headway during the
commute periods. The estimated recurring cost of operating the fixed
route services would be approximately $356,000 annually, or approximately
$35,000 more than the current cost for the on-demand services, with a
non-recurring start-up cost of $20,000.
Phase III
-
establishment of an Airport/Empire-Red Line Connector that would have
numerous stops along the route within the City to maximize accessibility
for residents along corridors that are either underserved by MTA buses
with low service frequencies, or not served by public transit at all. He
stated that the estimated recurring cost of operating this service is
$156,000 annually, with a start-up cost of $15,000.
Mr. Herrmann
informed the Council that the total additional recurring cost of these
proposed services is projected to be $229,000 and can be funded in
subsequent years by Proposition A and C revenues. He added that this
year�s expenses of $78,500 would be funded from Proposition A and C
Unappropriated Reserves.
Mr. Herrmann also
noted that the Task Force requested Council authorization to continue
meeting quarterly to oversee the proposed service implementations, and to
monitor program costs, service and ridership. He added that the Council
would receive periodic reports from the Task Force on the program
indicators.

concern with the City�s continued funding for the violence prevention

setting aside funds for the transit services program.
