“Metro won’t tell us… they told us sometime in the summer, passenger service will start to the 4 new stations,” the council liaison said, summarizing Metro’s schedule for the Gold Line extension into the eastern San Gabriel Valley. The liaison listed the four stations — Glendora, La Verne, San Dimas and Pomona — and said the new terminus in Pomona will connect with a Metrolink station. The liaison said travel time from Pomona to Union Station will be about 62 minutes and from La Verne to Union Station about 60 minutes.

On refuse collection, the liaison said the city is considering an extension of its current provider’s contract and a temporary price freeze. “We’re going to extend Athens Evergreen’s provision of the contract… for 2 years, we’ll freeze all prices,” the liaison said, adding staff will return with written recommendations.

The liaison also briefed the board on air‑quality rulemaking in the South Coast basin that would encourage a shift from gas water heaters and space heaters to lower‑NOx or electric equipment. “We’re going to try to… encourage the manufacturers to start manufacturing more 0 emission… electric water heaters and space heaters,” the liaison said, and described a multi‑year phase‑in starting around 2027.

The liaison referenced SB 1383 in the context of waste and food recovery and noted other regional planning items under discussion. Interim Community Development Director Brad thanked the board for its service and noted two board members will move to the Planning Commission in June.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Design Review Board Meeting 05/01/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council liaison updated the board on regional projects including a Metro Gold Line passenger service start expected in summer, a tentative extension and price freeze on the city's waste‑hauler contract, and forthcoming South Coast AQMD rules to phase in electric water and space heaters.","taxTitle","South Pasadena City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",70853,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6244219,"Design Review Board dissolves subcommittee for 1401 Santa Teresa; matter to move to Planning Commission when applicant resubmits",53,1027000,1080000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3230922-2199a06b2b126542b93c12404912e8ba&start=1027&end=1080","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3230922-2199a06b2b126542b93c12404912e8ba/thumbnail_1027000.jpg","/articles/6244219/South-Pasadena-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Design-Review-Board-dissolves-subcommittee-for-1401-Santa-Teresa-matter-to-move-to-Planning-Commission-when-applicant-resubmits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244219-a8f70a9df524f7f2c9321067afd3076a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158698&Signature=IY9HolUVDe3SJbDuBSexgwJwp5eaq8l2L3uDvt1hE1ZsdJTPPomI5JNGdr42r-dH4xIoLd7sNxA-rnhnVF4~poiBdmtHRYHhuCbK5MirI7xF2VihcsvRrfp3GwUmzOUyxcFIhHvMUPTjf~8S63baVx5VqlvlHrSag57ryfJvrIV9Q3-wUyHOu76d78zaCKGffzw1mTjYfCFBZmPyJoGo8hJkkTcl-t-5osYslN5pI16jr~RZhamQk-Nf9HCDU~UvQShhx13Fyc5kMqazw2sW1Ui9Z~f7v4dDAdP7q7UM3UMZbMqA2-0eXiZNqsm-opFZXJD6t5mwn-0cMDkN-U94-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tatiana Marin, a staff member, told the board that a subcommittee created in February to review design concerns for a new single‑family dwelling at 1401 Santa Teresa should be dissolved while the applicant has not resubmitted materials.

“We are recommending that the subcommittee is dissolved, and it will get moved on to Planning Commission for their review when they resubmit,” Marin said. She described the item as a “receive and file” matter rather than one requiring board action.

Marin said the board does not need to take a vote to dissolve the subcommittee; when an applicant resubmits, the Planning Commission will receive the project for its review. No formal motion, amendment or vote was recorded during the Design Review Board’s meeting.","Staff told the board the subcommittee formed in February for a new single‑family dwelling at 1401 Santa Teresa should be dissolved because the applicant has not resubmitted; the item will be heard by the Planning Commission when resubmitted and staff said no vote was required.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6244223,"South Pasadena launches site‑plan process for Library Park campus; no construction funding yet",743,125000,868000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3230922-2199a06b2b126542b93c12404912e8ba&start=125&end=868","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3230922-2199a06b2b126542b93c12404912e8ba/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6244223/South-Pasadena-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/South-Pasadena-launches-siteplan-process-for-Library-Park-campus-no-construction-funding-yet","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6244223-b4df9f3d95deb16eed4610f22710685b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158698&Signature=TUx-u~sr1kpkpL2qm5maud8BVN3ZzjGhcAryX97Xq-XXE2kUOqlI4wSlb2mwe-xBg-r-vzCpDxTNXMJo4VKtwwwg2cjzwgMSWGE~4CX4PA0-S8qc2l58YXC8m0ReFDjnnEcB7ogLRIcSjIozLszVhdeGpNtuwXXpztSpjy2ZsOsgRojvu1KUl6oi0cyFgTPtJg7jywY-LujXLGsPE5KTVc2Nk5vEI3HSJDtNymUilyKfpEn6Hd9utsC8iVf0FpT8Akw64VWP8CN87t3TsgpbAF5kaVzoleFlNwm9B1pSXn0vWImOD7~QVav-MDtq01MOVCs~wBl3nVhEuZyS~5ltvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kathy Billings, director of the South Pasadena Public Library, told the Design Review Board on May 1 that the city has opened a site‑plan study to explore rebuilding or reconfiguring facilities on the Library Park campus.

“Site plan is not architectural renderings. It’s really about assessing the needs and then associating those needs with square footage and then looking at how within the constraints of the site that we have…what could we do to meet those needs on that site,” Billings said.

The project launched publicly March 17, and an online community survey has been open since then; Billings said outreach at the Farmers Market, city events and community workshops has been part of a first round of engagement that will wrap up in May. The consultant team will combine survey results and technical studies and return with conceptual options in summer, with a site plan expected to be presented to the City Council in October.

Billings emphasized the study is an early planning step, not a funding commitment. “There’s at this time no funding to build a new building. So this is really the first step in a fairly long process,” she said. She said the site plan will help demonstrate community interest when city officials and potential funders are asked to support construction.

The needs assessment will examine shared uses between the library and community services, accessibility and deferred maintenance. Billings said the existing non‑historic portions of the campus were built in 1982, with a 1991 addition to the senior center, and that current spaces lack flexible meeting rooms, modern technology infrastructure and other features typical of newer libraries and senior centers.

A board member asked whether the city had considered renting or otherwise increasing revenue from new, more flexible spaces. Billings replied the library and community services already rent spaces and that “with different spaces…it could be a much bigger income stream,” citing past projects where updated facilities increased rental revenue because they had spaces that could be used without staff assistance.

Billings encouraged residents to complete the survey through May and noted a kiosk will remain in the library foyer during the outreach period. The consultant will return with concepts and a second round of public engagement before the council sees a recommended site plan.","City library director outlined a site‑plan study to assess needs, shared spaces and accessibility at Library Park; public survey open through May and a site plan is expected to go to City Council in October, but no construction funding has been identified.","actionData","errors"]
