Burbank City Council enacted an emergency zoning ordinance on Tuesday that temporarily tightens the limits on new homes and additions, at least until council members are able to study and consider more permanent changes to the citys code.
Under state law, which required a four-fifths vote of the council, the limits can remain in effect for 45 days and may be extended for up to two years. Civic groups and residents had been calling for the measure and for more stringent permanent controls to prevent the construction of overly large homes in Burbank neighborhoods.
Council in recent weeks had discussed concepts for the proposed ordinance, giving guidance to city staff in drafting the controls that they hope will close loopholes in the existing code, but it still took a little negotiating on the particulars this week and some last-minute changes to get 5-0 support for the final measure.
Councilwoman Emily Gabel-Luddy advocated against a watered down ordinance and admonished her colleagues for what she said was back-tracking on certain items, but she agreed to changes that would allow for new or expanded homes that do not exceed a 0.40 ratio of floor area to lot size of on lots smaller than 10,000 square feet, even for two-story homes.
In exchange, however, she bargained for inclusion of up to 200 square feet of floor space to be counted into that ratio for garages exceeding 400 square feet, which she argued would keep bulk in check, winning even Mayor David Gordons reluctant approval of the provision, which he had spoken against in earlier meetings.
Council members also agreed to enact second-story setbacks to curb the construction of large, boxy homes, and to allow addition of a porte cochere feature, so long as its only one-story.
One particular sticking point in negotiations was determining what date would be used to establish which projects were already in the pipeline for development, that is, projects exempt from new standards because property owners had already completed substantial planning work on them prior to the ordinance being enacted.
In earlier sessions, council members had discussed using March 10 as the deadline the date they first instructed staff to begin developing the ordinance in order to prevent a rash of hastily planned projects coming in under the wire throughout March and using the soon-to-be closed loopholes in the code to build big, bulky homes.
After hearing from dozens of citizens, several of whom, like Kochendorfer, voiced concerns that the ordinance would halt their ongoing plans to build dream houses or to expand their homes to fit their growing families, council members Gary Bric and Jess Talamantes argued for pushing the deadline back to March 31.
Im just trying to be as fair as possible to everybody, Bric said.

Council approves temporary tightening of residential zoning rules while permanent changes studied
We're not going to look at this year's Padres as a truly surprising team if they win. They won't come out of nowhere; they'll come out of the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, a five-minute drive from the team's offices at Petco Park.
That's where rookie general manager A.J. Preller started the blitzkrieg of player acquisitions that culminated with his landing his Opening Day starter, James Shields, only a week before the start of Spring Training. But one of the reasons that Preller felt he could import so many veterans in such a hurry was that he trusted his manager, Bud Black.
Black has overseen preparations for the upcoming season that were remarkably smooth. He and his coaching staff (headed by bench coach Dave Roberts, pitching coach Darren Balsley and new hitting coach Mark Kotsay) worked on a daily basis to show new guys like Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Wil Myers, Derek Norris and Will Middlebrooks how the Padres handle the details, while keeping an eye on how their most important holdover players were welcoming the newcomers.
Given that 35 of 60 players in camp were in their first Spring Training with the team, this was a huge consideration. And as Black prepared to fly back to San Diego for the start of the season, he almost let out a sigh of relief over how well the spring had gone.
Black discusses takeaways on last day of Padres camp
Bud Black wraps up the final day of Padres Spring Training and looks ahead to the 2015 season
"Both groups -- new and holdovers -- they understand what it takes for a team to gel, and they took it on themselves to get to know each other," Black said. "The conversations, dialogue, have been great. [In] the clubhouse [and] on the field, the coaches have been great as far as the instruction and teaching, as far as getting the new guys on board to what we do fundamentally: bunt defenses, cutoffs and relays, pickoffs, rundowns, all those things. Guys have really done a nice job of being on point there."
With Seth Smith being the only holdover outfielder who was traded, the Padres' Opening Day roster will be a tight fit. Playing time seems uncertain for Will Venable, Cameron Maybin and Carlos Quentin, but Black says the infusion of talent has actually reinvigorated veteran players who were around for parts of the stretch in which San Diego had six losing seasons in the past seven years.
"All the guys who were new, down the line -- Kemp, Upton, Myers, Middlebrooks, Norris, [Brandon] Morrow, [Brandon] Maurer, [Shawn] Kelley -- these guys were excited to be Padres, really excited to be here," Black said. "The holdovers from last year's group -- Venable, [Jedd] Gyorko, [Yonder] Alonso, Maybin -- they're excited for the new guys to be here."
