(Ord. No. 297, § 9.04.020.010, 3-20-2007; Ord. No. 375, § 9, 5-18-2021)

All applications for entitlements which require a public hearing shall be accompanied by:

(a) A radius map showing all parcels of land within a 500-foot radius of the boundary of the property that is the subject of the entitlement application;

(b) A mailing list and two sets of adhesive mailing labels of the owners of property within a 500-foot radius of the subject property; and

(c) An affidavit from the person preparing the map and mailing list that the names and addresses are based on the latest available Tax Assessor's records.

(Ord. No. 375, § 9, 5-18-2021)

Every application for a development permit, with the exception of conceptual plan review and minor architectural review, shall be set for a public hearing. Public hearings may be continued from time to time, by the Planning Commission or City Council, as may be deemed necessary.

(Ord. No. 297, § 9.04.020.020, 3-20-2007; Ord. No. 375, § 9, 5-18-2021)

Notice of the time and place of all public hearings before the Planning Commission or City Council shall be given by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the applicant, owner(s) of the subject property and the agent(s) if any, and the owners, as listed on the most recent County Assessor's roll, of property located within 500 feet of the external boundary of the subject property for which the entitlement is sought. Notice shall be mailed at least ten days before the public hearing.

(Ord. No. 297, § 9.04.020.030, 3-20-2007; Ord. No. 375, § 9, 5-18-2021)

The Planning Commission shall approve, conditionally approve, deny or recommend action to the City Council, by resolution adopted by the affirmative votes of not less than a majority of a quorum. Said resolution shall contain a statement of facts upon which the decision is based. Within ten days following the adoption of the resolution by the Commission, the City Planner shall cause same to be forwarded by United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicant and any other person requesting the same, at such person's last known address.

(Ord. No. 297, § 9.04.020.040, 3-20-2007)

Where, for any reason, said Planning Commission is unable to reach a determination as to a development permit within 40 days after the close of the public hearing relating thereto, said matter shall be deemed automatically appealed to the City Council, without decision by the Planning Commission. In such event, the said matter shall be placed upon the City Council's agenda and a de novo public hearing held thereon, and the matter shall be finally determined by the City Council.

(Ord. No. 297, § 9.04.020.050, 3-20-2007)

Failure to give notice in the manner prescribed in this chapter shall have no effect upon the legality of any proceeding before the Planning Commission or the City Council.

Appeals of Planning Commission decisions must be filed as provided for in Chapter 16 of this title.
