The Pasadena Unified School District Board of Education aims to convert a shuttered school into 115 apartments, responding to a demand for affordable housing among employees.
Utilizing AB 2295, the district plans to streamline the development approval process, potentially bypassing local zoning and CEQA with a hope for six-month approval.
A survey revealed that 70% of Pasadena Unified employees exceed the 30% income threshold on housing costs, highlighting a significant need for affordable options.
The Superintendent's Advisory Committee advocated for using state laws to expedite the entitlement process, favoring a quicker approach over traditional methods that could delay progress.
