SUBJECT: FINAL PASSAGE OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY'S
ZONING MAP FROM C-C-H-PD TO C-C-H FOR THE COURT

CAO RECOMMENDATION
Grant final passage to Ordinance No. 1420, approving a Negative Declaration of environmental
impact, and amending the City's zoning map designation from Central-Commercial with the
Historical Preservation and Planned Development overlay zones (C-C-H-PD) to Central-
Commercial with the Historical Preservation overlay zone (C-C-H) for the Court Street parking
lot site (999 Monterey Street), based on findings.
DISCUSSION
Situation
On July 2, 2002, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1420 to print, approving the
requested zoning amendment to eliminate the expired Planned Development overlay zoning for
the site. Ordinance No. 1420 is now ready for final passage. The amended zoning designation
will become effective 30 days after final passage of the ordinance.
Significant Impacts
The City Council approved a Negative Declaration for the zoning amendment request on July 2,
2002, which concluded that the project would not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment.
Consequences of Not taking the Recommended Action
If the Council does not give final passage to the ordinance, the existing zoning with the expired
Planned Development overlay zoning would remain.
