PUBLIC HEARING Lynn M. Harris !LL'LL(�4Cd/
DATE: August 14, 1990
SUBJECT: Draft ordinance regulating building permits during
consideration of City Council -initiated zone changes (continued;
from July 24, 1990) Ordinance Number: 90-22
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
On July 24, 1990, the City Council continued this item to August 14, 1990
without having opened the. public hearing. A continuation was necessitated
since the Planning Commission had not yet made its recommendation to. the
Council. On July 3, 1990, the Commission held a public hearing on this item,
continued the hearing to August 7, 1990, and set a study session for July 26,
1990. Since this ordinance is related to the Mobile Home Park Residential
Zone Ordinance, the purpose of the study session was to provide the Commission
with general information about mobile home parks in the City and how mobile
home parks are regulated throughout the state. Following the study session,
the Commission requested no modifications to the ordinance.
The purpose of the draft ordinance is to reduce the speculation that could
occur should the Council initiate a zone change; if the Council initiates a
zone change to a more restrictive zone, then a property owner may react by
attempting to pull a building permit for the property consistent with the
current zone. The draft ordinance would limit the opportunity for development
during the period when a Council -initiated zone change is in process. A
building permit would be required to conform to the requirements of the
proposed zone, unless a conditional use permit has been previously approved
for that property and the specific development proposed.
As of this writing (August 3, 1990) the draft ordinance was due to return to
the Commission at its meeting of August 7, 1990. The results of that meeting
will be reported to the Council, orally, at the Council's August 14, 1990
meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Pending public testimony, introduce the ordinance and pass to second reading.

TO:
Chairwoman Garasi and Members of the
Planning Commission
FROM:

Development
cL4�,Gp
APPLICANT:
City of Santa Clarita
LOCATION: Citywide
REQUEST: An urgency ordinance to revise the existing procedure
for the initiation of zone changes and the processing
of land use entitlements during the period when a zone
change is under consideration
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend approval to the City Council of the attached
draft ordinance by minute action.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The attached draft ordinance is being processed at the request of the
City Council. It is a companion ordinance to ZOA-90-001 (creation of a
Mobile Home Park Residential Zone), also on the Planning Commission's
July 3, 1990 agenda.
Zone changes may be initiated by any one of three parties: the property
owner (which is the usual circumstance), the Planning Commission, or the
City Council. The draft ordinance creates certain procedures and
requirements that would only pertain to Council -initiated zone changes.
The purpose of the draft ordinance is to reduce the speculation that
could occur should the Council initiate a zone change; if the Council
initiates a zone change to a more restrictive zone, then a property
owner may react by attempting to pull a building permit for the property
consistent with the current zone. The draft ordinance would limit the
opportunity for development during the period when a Council -initiated
zone change is # process. A building permit. would be required to
conform to the requirements of the proposed zone, unless a conditional
use permit has been previously approved for that property and the
specific development proposed.
The near term use of this ordinance would occur in connection with the
initiation of zone changes to the Mobile Home Park Residential Zone. In
the longer term, this ordinance will become operative following general
plan adoption in connection with citywide zone changes for conformance
with the General Plan as well as any other Council -initiated zone
changes.
ZOA-90-002 - 2 - July 3, 1990
In accordance with the California Environmental quality Act, this

Regulatory Agencies for Protection of the Environment) of the State EIR
Guidelines, and requires no further environmental review.

Item to be presented y
PUBLIC HEARING Lynn M. Harris�6LL�
DATE: July 24, 1990
SUBJECT: Draft ordinance regulating building permits during consideration
of City Council -initiated zone changes
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
BACKGROUND
The need for this draft.ordinance is related to the draft mobile home park zone
ordinance, also on the Council's July 24, 1990 agenda. The draft ordinance
proposes a new requirement that would pertain to City Council initiated zone
changes only. When property is proposed to be rezoned by a Council -initiated
zone change, one of two new requirements would apply: (1) An application for a
building permit must conform to the requirements of the newly proposed zone, .or
(2) A conditional use permit must be approved for the land use proposed. The
purpose of this ordinance is to prevent the filing of.applications for
development under the 'old" rules in an attempt to circumvent compliance with
the "new" rules being considered in connection with a zone change initiated by
the City Council. Without this type of ordinance, filings "under the wire"
before a zone change becomes effective may be stimulated in an effort to avoid
new regulations,•hence interfering with the very intent of the new zone.
The moratorium on mobile home park closures has lapsed and cannot be further
extended. Until another ordinance is adopted, closure proceedings could be
initiated by mobile home park owners, and their properties could be considered
for new development proposals. This ordinance would add new requirements and
give the City more review authority should a mobile home park be proposed for
conversion and development. The draft ordinance is necessary if the Council
wishes to regulate potential development of existing mobile home.parks.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the above item on July 3, 1990
and continued the item to a date uncertain. Also, the Commission set a study
session date for July 26, 1990 on this matter. In the interim, a new public
hearing date has been set for the Planning Commission of August 7, 1990. Please
refer to the attached Planning Commission staff report, dated July 3, 1990 as
well as the attached draft minutes (Item 5) of the Commission hearing on this
matter.
That the City Council adopt a minute resolution of intent to direct the Planning
Commission to forward its recommendation as soon as possible.
