Important Current Issues BASELINE MANSIONIZATION ORDINANCE UPDATE by Dave Garfinkle The City Council unanimously approved the Baseline Mansionization Ordinance which went into effect June 29. The basic provisions of the ordinance are as follows: Basic maximum house size: The basic maximum house size is a percent of the lot in each zone.
These numbers exclude up to 400 sq. ft. for a garage, 400 sq. ft. of detached accessory buildings, and 250 sq. ft. of porches, patios, and breeze-ways with a solid roof open on at least 2 sides.
10% Variance. The Planning Department can administratively grant a 10% bonus to the permitted house size without the normal variance and public hearing process. The Baseline Mansionization Ordinance covers the area north of Ventura Blvd. The Planning Department has been charged to define the “flat” areas south of Ventura Blvd. within 100 days of the passage of the Baseline Ordinance and submit a proposed amendment to the Baseline Ordinance to include those areas. The Department is also working on a Hillside Mansionization Ordinance for the remainder of the area south of Ventura Blvd. That proposed ordinance, expected within the next year or so, which will go through the full public comment process. The Baseline Mansionization Ordinance has a “sunset” provision if the Hillside Ordinance is not passed within two years.
