rules for work/live units, which combine a home and a workspace in one unit. Staff proposed cutting the minimum unit size from 1,250 to 800 square feet, letting the living area be up to 50% of the unit with an 800-square-foot cap, setting parking at 1.5 spaces per unit citywide, allowing work/live by right in parts of the East Pasadena Specific Plan, and dropping the 25-foot ground-floor commercial depth rule. The agenda asked the commission to recommend that the City Council find the changes exempt from CEQA under the common sense exemption and approve them. Commissioners asked whether the category still matters now that most commercial areas allow mixed use, and voted for a different direction: staff should drop work/live as a separate use in mixed-use zones, keep the staff recommendation in zones that don't allow multifamily housing, and come back with revised recommendations.","topics":["zoning","housing-supply"],"at":"00:01:33","link":"https://pasadena.granicus.com/player/clip/8909?view_id=33&entrytime=93","outcomes":[{"text":"A commissioner moved, seconded by a commissioner, to direct staff to remove work/live as a separate use in all mixed-use zones and adjust definitions so work/live-type uses can be permitted within the commercial part of mixed-use projects, and to follow the staff recommendation in zones that do not allow multifamily housing; by friendly amendment, staff is to return with a summary of revised recommendations rather than proceeding directly.
