Another one! Congrats to the team Green Development on this week’s Pasadena Multifamily ADU approval. Pasadena is a special city to work in and requires a hands-on approach to entitlement.

During the permitting process, the City enacted a Design and Historic Ordinance making every property 45 years or older eligible for a Historic Review. Fortunate for our client, we have a deep understanding of Cal Govt Code 65852.2(a)(1)(B)(i). After a conversation with the City Attorney, the Director of Planning exempted our project from any historic review, saving an additional 4 – 6 months of Historic Review time and additional 3 – 6 months of corrections due to historic design review elements.

If you’re looking into increasing Net Operating Income (NoI) to your existing multifamily properties, let’s connect!
