These Trailers Might be Used as Affordable Housing on Church Property

Staff to study changing zoning code to allow trailers to be placed in church parking lots

The Agenda for Wednesday’s meeting of the Planning Commission has been amended.

An item listing a study session on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) has been changed to a new item titled “Potential Code Amendment for Church Properties.”

According to the new item, staff will facilitate a study session on potential changes to the Zoning Code that would allow an ancillary structure or trailer on church property for affordable housing.

Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian said the agenda was changed for more clarification.

“There was some confusion on the item that was listed on the agenda,” Derderian said. According to Derderian people did not know what the item is about because it is a study session and the Powerpoint presentation was not available at that time.

“We have revised the agenda title to try and capture a more narrowly tailored topic,” Derderian said.

The city received as many as 50 FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) trailers were placed in the Rose Bowl parking lot at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In March, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the state would use $50 million of a $150 Coronavirus emergency funding package to buy 1,309 travel trailers and deliver them to cities across the state as part of an “emergency protective measure.”

The money was also used to lease rooms in hotels, motels, and other facilities in partnership with counties and cities to provide immediate isolation placements throughout the state for homeless individuals.

It is not known if the FEMA trailers would be made available.
