3051 East Foothill Boulevard Conditional
Use Permit #4646
Zoning: OS (Open Space) General Plan Designation: Open Space
Subject: The applicant, City of
Pasadena Department of Public Works, has submitted a Conditional Use Permit
application to permit to the construction of a 65,000 square foot
commercial ice rink building for public use. The
building would range from 36 feet to 54 feet in height and would be
located on vacant land between East
Foothill Boulevard and East Orange Grove Boulevard. The site would be
accessed from East Foothill
Boulevard only. The facility would contain two ice rinks with 400 and
100 seats respectively. Other amenities
include a food preparation area, offices, skate rental, locker rooms,
restrooms with showers, lobby/waiting
area, a retail shop, and a eating area.
Environmental: An Initial
Environmental Study recommending a Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for
this project in 2005. The Study found potentially significant
environmental impacts that can be mitigated to a
level of no significant impact. The areas with mitigated impacts
include Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Air
Quality, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise,
Transportation and Circulation. The
public review period was between April 5, 2005 and April 25, 2005.
An addendum to
the Project Description of the Initial Environmental Study was
completed in June 2006 that clarified the
height of the facility and the discretionary review required. Per
Section 15162(a) of the California
Environmental Quality Act guidelines these changes will not change the
determination of the Initial
Environmental Study and do not require re-circulation.
