Staff

Report

Mr. Hirsch, Assistant Community Development Director/License and Code Services, requested the Council consider an amendment to the Burbank Home Occupation Ordinance to allow commercial music lessons to be conducted from a residence.  He reported that on July 12, 2005, the Council deliberated the matter and directed staff to present the proposed draft ordinance to the Planning Board for their review.

Mr. Hirsch informed the Council that in November 2005, the Planning Board deliberated the matter and voted 4-0 to approve the draft ordinance with several minor modifications to the Council�s recommendations.  He stated that the modifications include:  recommending the lowest rate possible be charged for the Administrative Use Permit (AUP); the public notification of the AUP be limited to a radius of 150 feet; the applicants must submit to a background check if they are to teach students under the age of 18; allowing the hours of operation to be between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.; that music lessons be limited to a maximum of five days a week and 10 students per day; the lessons be allowed as one-on-one lessons with one teacher and one student per lesson with no recitals and concerts on the premises; the lessons must be conducted in a manner as not to disturb a person of normal sensitivity; on-premises parking must be provided; music lessons are not subject to the pedestrian and vehicle traffic restrictions of the Home Occupation Ordinance; and, the applicant is responsible for all costs associated with the permitting process, including any applicable background investigation fees, as established by the Burbank Fee Resolution.

Mr. Hirsch reported that the Council and Planning Board have preliminarily determined that through the implementation of certain restrictions, standards and conditions, the conduct of this commercial activity from a residence will not be detrimental to residential neighborhoods.  He added that both bodies determined that through the AUP process, there will be sufficient controls and a mechanism for revocation should there be reoccurring violations at a particular location.

Mr. Hirsch noted that the applicant�s initial costs would be approximately $500, comprised of the AUP fee of $350, the background check fee of $60 to $70 and an annual Business Tax of approximately $77.  He noted that subsequently, only the annual tax of $77 will be incurred.  He requested a Fee Resolution amendment to reflect the proposed fees and requested the Council approve the ordinance and the Fee Resolution amendment.

Citizen

Comment

Appearing to comment were: Eden Rosen, in opposition; LaVerne Thomas, in opposition; Howard Rothenbach, in support, but expressing concerns with several restrictions; David Piroli, in support, but expressing concerns with regard to multi-family buildings, sensitivity criteria, fingerprinting and soundproofing; Theresa Karam, on the City of Los Angeles� criteria for home occupations; and, Mark Barton, on required insulation.

Staff

Rebuttal

Mr. Hirsch responded to public comment regarding parking issues; hours of operation; the 150-foot notification radius; fingerprinting; sensitivity issues and enforcement; and, precluding multi-family residential areas and certain instruments.

Mr. Campbell requested clarification with regard to multi-family residences and the requirement for dedication of a guest parking space.  Mr. Hirsch responded that the issues will be addressed through the AUP process, in which case the AUP would either be denied or revoked depending on the individual circumstances.  He also clarified the implications of setting decibel limits as opposed to the reasonable sensitivity standard.

Dr. Gordon inquired as to the number of complaints on the matter.  Mr. Hirsch responded that staff receives an average of six complaints a year.   

Mrs. Ramos requested clarification with regard to fingerprinting serving as a deterrent to criminal activity.  Chief Hoefel responded that it would be an identification process and the applicant may have prior convictions on other crimes that may be used as a basis for denying the permit.

7:53 P.M.

Hearing

Closed

There being no further response to the Mayor�s invitation for oral comment, the hearing was declared closed.

Council

Deliberations

Mr. Golonski agreed with staff�s recommendations, stating that the restrictions are reasonable. He also recommended that the AUP fee be reduced to $175. 

Mr. Campbell expressed opposition to allowing the use in multi-family residences, stating that it will create a nuisance.  He was also not supportive of extending the hours of operation beyond 7:00 p.m.; requested that the applicant secure written permission from the landlord guaranteeing a guest parking space and indicating the ability to modify the unit for soundproofing; would not support lessons on Sundays; and, stated his preference for a standard decibel limit.  He also suggested reconsideration of the number of lessons given per day, since this may create a hurdle for a family which is trying to get lessons for more than one child. 

Dr. Gordon noted the need for an objective measurement and stated that the proposed fee is high.  He also questioned the need for queuing language in the ordinance and expressed concern with allowing such businesses in multi-family residences.

Mrs. Ramos expressed concern with subjectivity regarding the normal sensitivity criteria and suggested a measurement standard.  She also stated that fingerprinting will provide some level of assurance to parents, and noted that a high AUP fee will hinder the success of registering such businesses.

Mr. Vander Borght noted the property rights of homeowners who desire to make a living in their home.  He supported a reduction in the AUP fee to $175, stated the use is not appropriate for multi-family residences and noted a need for a quantifiable noise standard to eliminate subjectiveness.

Staff was directed to bring back the ordinance and resolution with the following modifications: a reduction in the AUP fee to $175; prohibiting lessons in multi-family residences; and, setting a standard decibel limit.

Review of City�s

Financial Status

As of Dec. 31,

2005 and Mid-

Year Approp.

Mr. Elliot, Interim Financial Services Director, discussed the City�s financial status as of December 31, 2005, requested Council approval of mid-year adjustments to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2005-06 approved budget, and discussed the Five Year Financial Forecast, preview of the FY 2006-07 budget and the non-recurring resources.

Mr. Elliot gave a revenue overview, noting revised estimates for increases in Sales Tax and Building Permit/License Fees. He also noted the appropriation adjustments due to Police, Fire and Burbank City Employees Association Memoranda of Understanding ratifications, and stated that the projected FY 2005-06 deficit of $710,866 would be balanced with use of the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) Stabilization Fund.  He also stated that the current Undesignated Fund Balance was $7,577,482; however, after considering appropriations for: increases in working and emergency capital reserves ($1,515,000); compensated absences ($800,000), one-time appropriations ($915,353), additional PERS enhanced retirement ($877,000), anticipated Retiree Medical Trust ($407,610); and, the mid-year non-recurring adjustments ($1,252,926), the estimated available balance as of June 30, 2006 was $1,809,593.

Mr. Elliot then discussed the following mid-year budget adjustments: Harvard Fire Incident ($1,137,613); legal advertising and printing ($15,000); library grant appropriation ($4,174); Department of Justice secure router ($2,700); increased postage ($5,000); Park, Recreation and Community Services contract services ($40,000); portable toilets � Habitat for Humanity ($3,057); Burbank on Parade insurance ($5,000); Animal Shelter donation ($31,936); weed spraying ($7,700); and, maintenance of six storm water pumps ($10,746).  He stated that the net General Fund requests totaled $1,218,752.

Mr. Elliot also discussed the mid-year adjustments pertaining to other funds, including: Proposition A Transportation; Gas Tax; Public Improvements/Development Impact Fees; Youth Endowment Services Fund; Refuse Collection and Disposal; Vehicle Replacement; Office Equipment Replacement; Municipal Building Replacement; Computer Equipment Replacement; and, Magnolia Power Plant Operation.

Mr. Elliot then discussed the Five Year Financial Forecast pertaining to non-recurring and recurring revenues, and recurring expenditures.  He also elaborated on the FY 2006-07 budget development parameters which included: a discretionary budget reduction of one percent; no new positions or upgrades unless revenue off-set; frozen positions from FY 2003-04 through FY 2005-06 to remain frozen but removed from the personnel budget system; no allowable increases in the Materials, Supplies and Services accounts unless beyond the department�s control; no new capital outlay requests unless approved by the Executive Team; and, inclusion of the Utility Users Tax Set Aside Fund in the recurring resources.  He then gave an overview of the available non-recurring resources and concluded that while the General Fund forecast is improving, the expenditures are still in excess of recurring revenues.

Mr. Golonski requested the Council consider, as part of the non-recurring fund balance, to fund the Mayor�s Youth Task Force initiatives for $250,000 for FY 2006-07.  He also suggested that staff evaluate the use of the Pension Obligation Bonds hedge fund to pre-fund the City�s PERS obligation in an effort to mitigate some of the rising pension costs.  Mrs. Ramos expressed support for the Mayor�s Youth Task Force funding.

Mr. Campbell requested one-time non-recurring funding for the Wayside Horn/Quiet Zones to improve intersections in terms of safety while reducing noise.  Mr. Golonski and Mrs. Ramos expressed preference for using Redevelopment Agency funds for this purpose.

Dr. Gordon requested consideration of funding to televise the Charter Review Committee meetings.

Mr. Vander Borght expressed support for funding the Mayor�s Youth Task Force.  He also requested setting aside $400,000 for additional transit buses and funding for the improvement of the remnant parcel at Burbank and Victory Boulevards.  He expressed interest in receiving more information on the potential risks and benefits of using the Pension Obligation Bonds hedge funds.  Mrs. Ramos concurred. 

It was moved by Mr. Golonski seconded by Mrs. Ramos and carried that $250,000 be set aside for the Mayors Youth Task Force and $400,000 be set aside for the purchase of additional transit buses.

Motion

It was moved by Mr. Golonski and seconded by Mrs. Ramos that �the following resolutions be passed and adopted:�

Install One-Way

Traffic Operation

in the Alley S. of

Magnolia and E.

of Hollywood

Way

Mr. Johnson, Assistant Public Works Director/Traffic Engineer, requested Council approval to change the traffic operation in the alley south of Magnolia Boulevard between Hollywood Way and Cordova Street to a one-way eastbound operation to improve traffic flow in the area.

Mr. Johnson responded to public comment regarding traffic congestion associated with Porto�s Bakery and installation of green curb on Magnolia Boulevard. He noted that parking on Magnolia Boulevard is generally two hours and the green curb limit of 15 minutes would provide for a higher turnover.  He also explained staff�s rationale for suggesting the eastbound one-way traffic pattern.

Dr. Gordon requested clarification with the proposed traffic pattern. He was not supportive of the eastbound operation due to concerns with traffic impacts on Cordova Street.

Mr. Golonski expressed preference for a west-bound one-way traffic pattern.  He supported staff�s recommendations on an interim basis, while working towards a longer-term approach.

Mrs. Ramos expressed concern with the 15-minute time limit at Porto�s Bakery and suggested 20 minutes at the minimum and 30 minutes as being very realistic.

Mr. Vander Borght expressed support for staff�s recommendations with monitoring.

Dr. Gordon expressed concern with the provision restricting deliveries to before 7:00 a.m. and suggested restricting deliveries to between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., and that other loading times be restricted to Magnolia Boulevard.  He noted that the alley is very narrow, and congestion and noise issues will be created.

Motion

It was moved by Mr. Golonski and seconded by Mrs. Ramos that �the following resolution be passed and adopted.�  In addition, deliveries were restricted to between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., and the one-way eastbound traffic direction was approved on an interim basis.

California�s

Greenhouse Gas

Emission

Reduction Targets

A report was received from Burbank Water and Power (BWP) stating that the American Lung Association of California has requested the Council consider adopting a resolution in support of California�s new greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets.  It was indicated that GHG includes carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride, and that motor vehicles and electric utilities are among the largest emitters of GHG.

Staff stated that in an effort to create a plan to reduce the impact of GHG on California�s air quality, Governor Schwarzenegger issued an executive order on June 1, 2005 establishing the following GHG reduction targets: reducing GHG emissions to 2000 levels by 2010; reducing GHG emissions to 1990 levels by 2020; and, reducing GHG emissions to 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050.

It was reported that as utilities are the largest emitters of GHG, BWP staff carefully investigated whether or not these GHG emission reduction targets are technically and financially feasible.  Staff concluded that the long-term range and various unknown factors, such as technology changes and financial constraints, raise significant challenges to the City committing to achieve the 2050 reduction target. 

Mr. Campbell expressed concern with staff�s reluctance to commit to achieving the 2050 reduction target.  He noted the need to support a policy that reduces global warming.

Mr. Fletcher, Assistant General Manager, Burbank Water and Power, and Mr. Davis, General Manager, Burbank Water and Power, elaborated on the challenge of attaining the goals which are tantamount to eliminating all burning coal.

Mr. Golonski was supportive of the target goals of 2010 and 2020 but was not supportive of committing to goals that are not achievable.

Motion

It was moved by Mr. Campbell and seconded by Mr. Vander Borght that �the following resolution be passed and adopted, to adopt the goals as proposed by the Governor committing the City to the 2010, 2020 and 2050 goals outlined.�
