Staff Report
|
Mr. Hirsch,
Assistant Community Development Director/License and Code Services,
reported that the issue of abandoned shopping carts has been of interest
to the Council since 2003 due to the increase in the number of abandoned
shopping carts over the past decade. He added that previously, the
Council directed staff to present the issue of abandoned shopping carts to
the Planning Board (Board) and the Board deliberated on this matter on
November 13, 2006, and voted 4-0 in favor of the Council moving forward
with the proposed ordinance. He explained that the Board made two
recommendations, neither of which affected the text of the proposed
ordinance. The recommendations included a desire for the Council to
consider providing a �ramp-up� period of time for businesses to prepare
for the implementation of the ordinance and concerns about senior citizens
not having access to shopping carts to transport their purchases.
Mr. Hirsch
informed the Council that the proposed ordinance is modeled after the City
of Glendale ordinance which was enacted on January 1, 2006 and has lowered
the number of abandoned shopping carts by 95 percent. He explained that
the ordinance requires that if any business has at any time more than five
shopping carts removed from their premises over a 24-hour period, the
business will be required to install a containment system to prevent cart
removal. He added that the type of containment system installed by a
business is not specified in the ordinance; however, the containment
system must be approved by the City to qualify as satisfying the
requirements of the ordinance. He added that once the ordinance becomes
effective, staff will dedicate the necessary resources to observe business
premises and if the five cart number is exceeded, the business would be
issued a notice of violation and the containment requirement will be
activated. He added that a violation could be issued for each day the
business is found to be in violation. He noted that although some of the
enforcement measures may seem time consuming or complicated, they are far
simpler than enforcing the current State law mandates. He then addressed
several issues raised with regard to the ordinance, including the expense
related to installing a containment system, and discussed the suggestion
that the genuine need of some individuals such as seniors or low-income
individuals be addressed though a rebate program.

Council
Deliberations
|
Mr. Golonski
expressed support for the ordinance and the rebate program.
Mr. Vander
Borght agreed with Mr. Golonski and suggested a three-cart loss threshold.
Mrs. Ramos
expressed support for the ordinance and the five cart threshold.
Dr. Gordon
expressed general support of the ordinance but suggested revisiting the
ordinance in a year�s time period following its implementation to evaluate
if modifications need to be made. He also suggested the inclusion of a
hardship clause for the rebate program and supported continued dialogue
with the Grocers Association to provide feedback.
Mr. Campbell
supported the ordinance, the rebate system and a six-month ramp-up
period. He elaborated on the potential dangers that abandoned shopping
carts pose to the residents, especially in the hillside area. Mr. Vander
Borght and Mr. Golonski agreed with the six-month ramp-up period.
Mr. McDougall
clarified that pursuant to the Council�s discussion, Section 31-1121 (c)
would state that the cart loss threshold shall be established and amended
from time to time by a resolution of the Council and that the ordinance
shall become effective at 12:01 a.m., six months following the date of
publication. He added that at the second reading, a resolution would be
brought back establishing the initial cart loss threshold at five.

Staff Report
|
Mr. Forbes,
Principal Planner, Community Development Department, reported that Article
19 of Chapter 31 of the Burbank Municipal Code (BMC) prescribes procedures
for City consideration of various types of planning applications including
Development Review, Conditional Use Permits, Variances and other planning
permits and entitlements. As currently structured, each type of planning
application has its own processing requirements, including those
pertaining to hearings, noticing and decision making. He added that
besides Article 19, other sections of Chapter 31 establish the processing
requirements for other types of applications and processing requirements
for tract and parcel maps are specified in Chapter 27 of the BMC.
Mr. Forbes
explained that in the current BMC, many of the requirements for different
application types are duplicative, which results in redundant information
appearing in the BMC. In other cases, requirements that could be applied
uniformly to all application types are instead applicable only to certain
types of applications but not others. He stated that the proposed
ordinance seeks to standardize the application process for all types of
planning applications and would establish five application processes. All
planning applications would be processed pursuant to the provisions of one
of the five processes and each of the processes would provide standardized
processing requirements including noticing, conduct of hearings and
appeals.
Mr. Forbes
reported that in addition to improving the user friendliness of the Zoning
Ordinance the ordinance would simplify the process of adding new types of
applications in the future. Also, the use of standardized application
processes is desired in conjunction with a new project tracking software
system that has been implemented for the Planning and Transportation
Divisions. He mentioned the two changes pursuant to previous Council
direction that all appeal hearings be held within 75 days of the date the
appeal was filed, and providing the Council authority to vote as a body to
have decisions of the Community Development Director reviewed by the
Planning Board (Board) in lieu of an appeal being filed.
Mr. Forbes
informed the Council that the Board held a public hearing to consider the
proposed Zone Text Amendment (ZTA) on September 25, 2006 and voted 5-0 to
recommend ZTA approval with one addition of including a statement
regarding the applicability of timelines specified under various State
laws, specifically the California Environmental Quality Act and the Permit
Streamlining Act, to all planning applications.

Staff Report |
Mrs. Forbes,
Deputy City Planner, Community Development Department, requested the
Council consider revisions to Project No. 2005-86, Development Review, a
request by David Meissner for Delaware Investments, LLC, to construct an
11-unit multi-family project. She stated that at a public hearing on
January 23, 2007, the Council took public testimony and began
deliberations. She added that concerns were expressed with regard to the
project complying with the Development Review findings and the Council
voted 4-0 to continue the item to another meeting to allow the applicant
the opportunity to make changes to the proposal. She noted that
specifically, the applicant was asked to reduce the size of the project,
reduce the massing, meet with the neighbors to gather more input, increase
the number of non-handicapped guest parking spaces, move the driveway
toward the center of the property along East Avenue and preserve trees.
Mrs. Forbes
reported that the applicant met with neighbors and subsequently reduced
density by one unit, stepped back the second story near the corner along
Delaware Road and opened up the elevation along East Avenue. She added
the Council also asked staff to consider maintaining the existing street
width on Delaware Road to preserve the existing mature trees and noted
that traffic engineering staff opines that the existing street width may
be maintained but in the future parking along the north side of Delaware
Road may be removed to allow more room for maneuverability. She also
added that the applicant explored the option of moving the driveway on
East Avenue towards the center of the project; however, when the driveway
was moved, the height of the garage increased, which is not permitted. In
addition, she stated that moving the driveway would remove parking spaces
which was contrary to the applicant�s efforts to maximize parking spaces.
She stated that as an alternative, the applicant may place the driveway
along Glenoaks Boulevard which is not the preferred option by traffic
engineering staff, but would be acceptable if it was the Council�s
desire.
Mrs. Forbes
stated that staff believes that the project as revised continues to meet
Code requirements and findings for approval of Development Review, and
requested the Council approve the project.
|
Public Hearing
Re-opened |
Mr. Campbell
requested consideration of whether to re-open the public hearing. The
Council concurred to re-open the hearing for public comment.
|
Applicant
|
Mr. Meissner,
applicant, elaborated on the following changes to the project: the square
footage which has been reduced from 17,274 net building square feet to
16,011 square feet representing a seven-percent decrease; additional
setbacks; and, two additional parking stalls which are being provided
beyond the Code-required parking. He requested that the entrance be
permitted off of Glenoaks Boulevard. With the aid of a PowerPoint, he
explained the features which make his project compatible with the
neighborhood.

|
Council
Deliberations
|
Mr. Vander
Borght expressed support for the project and noted that although the
project would qualify for a 24-unit approval, the applicant is requesting
10 units. He also noted the need to meet compatibility standards by
balancing the concerns of the R-1 zone in close proximity to an R-4 zone,
with the applicant�s property rights. He added that the applicant has
made a reasonable effort with regard to compatibility and expressed
support for placing the entrance off of Glenoaks Boulevard to mitigate
traffic impacts to the residential streets.
Mr. Campbell
requested clarification with regard to the ingress and egress off of
Glenoaks Boulevard and on the elevations.
Mr. Golonski was
not supportive of the ingress and egress off of Glenoaks Boulevard, noting
that while it would be better from a compatibility standpoint, safety
should not be traded for compatibility. He also expressed concerns with
the massing, density and square footage and suggested reducing the gross
square footage to no more than 15,000 square feet.
Dr. Gordon
stated that although the site is an unusual piece of property, the project
is still too massive for the site. He was also not supportive of the
Glenoaks Boulevard entrance for safety issues.
Mr. Campbell
inquired as to whether Mr. Meissner was amenable to the 15,000-square foot
limit. Mr. Meissner agreed but urged that the entrance be off of Glenoaks
Boulevard.
Mr. Golonski and
Dr. Gordon stated they would support the Glenoaks Boulevard entrance
subject to approval by the Traffic Engineer.
Mr. Campbell
commended the applicant for his willingness to agree to the 15,000-square
foot limit and stated that since Glenoaks Boulevard is a major arterial,
it is an appropriate place to have a little higher density as opposed to
residential streets. He also supported the Glenoaks Boulevard entrance
subject to approval by the traffic engineer.
|
Motion |
It was moved by
Mr. Golonski, seconded by Mr. Vander Borght that �the following resolution
be passed and adopted, with an additional condition to limit the gross
residential square footage to no more than 15,000 square feet, and to
allow the ingress and egress access from Glenoaks Boulevard provided the
Traffic Engineer finds it an acceptable option.� In addition, the final
plans would be reviewed by staff for substantial conformance to what has
been presented at the hearing and the trees along Delaware Road would be
preserved.

Joint Mtg w the
Redev. Agency
Affordable
Housing Agt - 261 West Verdugo Ave
|
Ms.
Davidson-Guerra, Assistant Community Development Director/Housing and
Redevelopment, reported that on March 13, 2007, Council Member Golonski
requested a discussion regarding the sale of the property at 261 West
Verdugo Avenue to the Burbank Housing Corporation (BHC). She explained
that on January 23, 2007, the Council and Redevelopment Agency (Agency)
Board approved an affordable housing agreement among the City of Burbank,
Agency and BHC. The agreement included Agency funding for the acquisition
of real property for the purpose of increasing the City�s inventory of
affordable housing. She added that the report focused on issues such as
fair market value of the property, rehabilitation costs, proximity to the
Verdugo-Lake Focus Neighborhood and similar issues as detailed in the
report. She stated that the purchase price for the property was $1.4
million which was within the fair market value range as identified in an
appraisal report by a certified, independent real estate appraiser. She
noted that due to the concerns raised regarding a recent, below-market,
private party real estate transaction, staff will implement measures to
ensure that a three-year history of real estate transactions is included
in future staff reports and will confer with the appropriate Council
Subcommittee prior to bringing any real estate-related matters to the full
Council/Agency Board.
|
Motion |
Following
Council deliberation, it was moved by Mr. Golonski, seconded by Mrs. Ramos
and carried that �staff be directed to notify the BHC to cease all work on
the property and take every step possible to rescind the transaction.
Staff was also directed to cease any additional relocation efforts as long
as they will not be detrimental to the tenants, and draft a letter for the
Council�s signature, indicating the Council's sentiments regarding the
transaction and that since the Council did not have all the information at
the time of approval, the best remedy is to reverse the transaction with
the cooperation of the seller and seller's agent. If the BHC is unable to
rescind the transaction the matter should be brought back to the Council.�

Req. to Conduct
Candidate Forum by the
Burbank Armenian
Cultural Foundation
For General
Election.
|
Mr. McManus,
Public Information Officer, presented a request by the Burbank Armenian
Cultural Foundation to conduct a candidate forum on March 22, March 23 or
March 24, 2007 for the April 10, 2007 General Election. He added that a
forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters (League) was held in the
Council Chamber for the Primary Nominating Election and a subsequent
request by the Burbank Armenian National Committee to hold another forum
was not granted due to concerns that the organization had endorsed
political candidates and propositions in the past.
Mr. McManus
informed the Council that the League has not requested to host a General
Election forum and candidate statements for the General Election are
airing on Channel 6 and have been posted on the City�s website. He
expressed concern with the timing and ability to schedule all candidates
and noted the possibility that by the time the forum airs, ballots would
have already been mailed and based on passed history, some voters may have
already returned their ballots. He requested the Council consider the
matter and give direction as desired.
|
Motion |
Following
deliberation, it was moved by Dr. Gordon, seconded by Mrs. Ramos and
carried with Mr. Golonski voting no that �the Council approve the request
with conditions that all four candidates be able to participate and the
public be allowed to attend.�
