Page - 3 City Council 04-21-08 AYES: NOES: Antos, Levitt, Miller, Shanks, Sloan None Motion carried I ITEM "I" 1 ORDINANCE NUMBER 1569/ TITLE 11 - ZONING CODE / ADOPTION Director of Development Services gave a brief summary and indicated that Council received a memo indicating the number of correspondences received at City Hall. In summary the City Council concluded its public hearing on the proposed Title 11, Zoning on April 14th. After considering the testimony of numerous residents, the Planning Commission's recommendations, the staff report and exhibits, the Council requested revisions to the draft ordinance with respect to the height of residential structures and certain parking requirements. After considering revised language with respect to height and parking, the Council introduced Ordinance Number 1569 with the following revisions: A maximum height of 25-feet for residential construction in the RHD-20 District. Off-street garage parking requirements for new or expanded homes to provide parking based on the following standards: 2 space per dwelling unit for each unit of 1 to 5 bedrooms; 3 spaces per dwelling unit for each unit of 6 bedrooms or more plus 1 additional space for each bedroom above 6 total bedrooms in the dwelling unit; and An Administrative Use Permit will be required for proposed additions to existing single-unit dwellings if applicants do not want to comply with the new parking standards. The new Zoning Ordinance does not require additional parking spaces where interior alterations create additional bedrooms, provided the structure is not enlarged. Levitt believed that staff and Planning Commission had worked out a compromise. Antos stated the action last week was the right thing to do. Shanks moved, second by Miller, to adopt Ordinance Number 1569 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SEAL BEACH AMENDING THE SEAL BEACH MUNICIPAL CODE BY DELETING CHAPTER 28, ZONING, IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ADOPTING A NEW TITLE 11, ZONING." The City Attorney read the title for the record.
