Item to be presented b .rBertoni
PUBLIC HEARING
DATE: October 24, 2000
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO SECTION 17.15.020 OF THE UNIFIED
DEVELOPMENT CODE
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Building Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
The City Council receive staff presentation, receive public testimony, close the public
hearing, discuss and approve a Resolution to adopt the negative declaration,
introduce an Ordinance, and pass to second reading on November 14, 2000.
BACKGROUND
On May 11, 1999 the Council adopted Ordinance 99-4. This ordinance amended
Section 17.15.020.A.2 of the City's Untied Development Code, which prohibited
recreational vehicles from being parked within the 20 -foot front yard setback of
residential lots.
On February 8, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance 00-3. This ordinance
amended various sections of the City's Unified Development Code. Ordinance 00-3
contained approximately 200 changes that codified City policies, director's
interpretations and definitions of frequently used terms not contained in the Code.
Both ordinances included regulations based on comments that planning staff
received from the public, Planning Commission, and City Council. The required
public hearings for each ordinance were held and public testimony was taken. The
City Council passed and adopted the ordinance and subsequent attachments
containing the wording that would be reflected in the Unified Development Code.
ANALYSIS
Ordinance 00-3 was written prior to staff's receipt of the codified update to the
Unified Development Code made by Ordinance 99-4. Ordinance 00-3 amended
wording in section 17.15.020.A.2. that was in the Unified Development Code prior to
the adoption of Ordinance 99-4, therefore, Ordinance 00-3 mistakenly amended
Ordinance 99-4 and unintentionally removed any changes to the Unified
Development Code made by Ordinance 99-4.
Agenda Item w
No changes to the wording in Ordinance 99-4 or the wording in Ordinance 00-3
would be made with the Ordinance before you tonight.
A notice of exemption was prepared and circulated for public review. Environmental
analysis of each of the previous ordinances was conducted and circulated for public
review prior to the Council's review and adoption of the ordinances.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other direction as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
None by this action.
