A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council waive further reading and pass Ordinance No. 929 amending
Municipal Code Section 26.24.220A1 to second reading.
B. DISCUSSION:
The Public Works Department which processes final maps has occasionally had
difficulty determining when a final map is "substantially the same as it appeared on
the approved tentative map."
The existing code does not provide direction in this regard.
The matter was referred to ZORC (Zoning Ordinance Review Committee). That body
suggested that the code be amended to stipulate that grade elevations of lots shall
not vary more than six (6) inches plus or minus that shown on the approved tentative
map.
The matter was reviewed by Planning Commission at its October 5, 1999 meeting.
The Planning Commission recommended that the change be approved on a 5-0 vote.
Public Works staff concur with this amendment.
