III. Section 905.1.F.5.b, Neighborhood Parks, Neighborhood Park Standards, Open Play Areas,

Villages of Pasadena Hills Planning and Policy Committee · 2026-04-15 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed variation for multi-family apartments in the Villages of Pasadena Hills. The applicant is requesting to reduce the required dimensions for an open play area from 100 feet by 100 feet to 80 feet by 125 feet. The total open space area of 10,000 square feet will be maintained. This request is currently under review by the Planning and Policy Committee. If approved, this variation would allow for specific dimensions for open play areas in new multi-family apartment developments, particularly if using the LUEM to convert entitlements to vertically integrated apartments. This early stage in the review process presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the applicant and understand potential future needs related to site development and landscaping for such projects.
