General provisions
769 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
A minimum of two covered parking spaces shall be provided for each unit in accordance with a detailed plan to be submitted to and approved by the Zoning Administrator prior to issuance of any building permits.
Fences will be allowed up to six feet in height around the perimeter of the project site. Each Lot will be allowed to have fences up to six feet in height on the side property lines and across the rear of the property contiguous with the garage. No fences shall be permitted to block the driveway easements. No fences will be permitted in the front yards or in the courtyard.
Design review for new construction and building alterations shall be in conformance with Table 6-3 of Section 17.61.030 (Design Review) of the Zoning Code. Projects up to 25,000 square feet of new construction shall be subject to review by the Planning Director.
The final landscape plans shall be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Director. Compliance with the tree protection ordinance will be monitored through the approved landscape plan depicting replacement trees during the design review phase of the Planned Development Plan implementation.
If the development includes a common trash enclosure area, it shall be provided in accordance with the requirements of Section 17.40.120 (Refuse Storage Facilities) of the Pasadena Municipal Code. Deliveries and trash pickup shall not occur between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. daily.
No mechanical equipment shall be permitted on any roof unless property screened, and located in an enclosure designed to be architecturally compatible with the building.
The proposed development shall connect to the public sewer with one or more new six-inch diameter house sewers laid at a minimum slope of two percent.
If drainage patterns are altered, the applicant shall provide an approved method of controlling storm water runoff. Approval shall be made by both the Planning and Community Department and the Department of Public Works prior to issuance of a grading or building permit for this site.
The applicant shall plant and maintain, for a period of three years, a maximum of three (3) (one fronting Parcel A and two fronting Parcel B-2) officially designated street trees per the City approved master street tree plan (Quercus Suber, Cork Oak) on the subject frontage, and install and maintain an irrigation system for the trees.
The existing street lighting system along Westminster Drive is substandard (or non-existent). In order to improve pedestrian and traffic safety, the applicant shall install a maximum of three (3) new street lights (one maximum fronting Parcel A and two maximum fronting Parcel B-2) on or near the frontage of the property along Westminster Drive, including conduits, conductors, electrical service (if necessary), pull boxes, and miscellaneous appurtenant work.
Prior to the start of construction or the issuance of any permits, the subsequent developer for Parcel A shall submit a Construction Staging and Traffic Management Plan to the Department of Public Works for review and approval.
In addition to the above conditions, the requirements of the following ordinances shall apply to the proposed parcel map and any subsequent subdivision:
All new and existing building upgrades shall comply with the requirements of California Building Code (CBC) and California Fire Code (CFC) and Pasadena Municipal Code.
In accordance with Chapter 17, Section 50.160 (K.) of the Pasadena Municipal Code, City Permits for overnight parking on City streets will not be issued to future tenants at this address. The applicant shall advise future occupants of the unavailability of on-street overnight parking permits.
