Chino Hills Municipal Code Ch. 1.08 County Code Adopted

City Ordinances 91-01 and 92-02 adopted the San Bernardino County Code ("County Code") wherever such County Code did not conflict with the provisions of the Chino Hills Municipal Code. The County Code shall remain in full force and effect following the adoption of the city's municipal code unless there is a similar or conflicting provision adopted by the city on that subject. Certain provisions of the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions which were adopted by reference pursuant to city Ordinances 91-01 and 92-02 reflect the county governmental structure and contain references to officials, official titles, commissions, and other designations which are not a part of the structure of the city's government. In order to effectively and intelligently administer the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, and the county resolutions, it is the purpose of this section to provide for the substitution of the appropriate city official, title, or designation in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, and county resolutions. Accordingly, the following amendments are made to the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, and county resolutions referenced herein and adopted herein:

A. Unless the context otherwise clearly indicates, whenever "Board of Supervisors" or "Board" is used in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, it shall mean the Chino Hills City Council.

B. Whenever "county" is used in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, it shall mean the geographical limits of Chino Hills unless a different geographical area is clearly indicated by the context.

C. Whenever "county," "county of San Bernardino," or "unincorporated territory of the county of San Bernardino" is used, it shall mean the city of Chino Hills unless a geographical area is clearly indicated by the context.

D. Whenever "Planning Commission" is used in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, it shall mean the Planning Commission of the city of Chino Hills.

E. Whenever "Subdivision Committee" or "Committee" is used in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, it shall mean the Chino Hills Planning Commission.

F. Whenever "Zoning Administrator" is used in the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, it shall mean the Chino Hills Director of Community Development.

G. Whenever the San Bernardino County Code, county documents, or county resolutions, refer to any other officer, office, official title, or designation, the reference shall be interpreted to mean that a similar office, title, or designation in the governmental structure in the city, as determined by the City Manager, or if there is no equivalent office, title, or designation, then the City Manager may delegate the responsibility to the official or employee of his or her choosing.

(Ord. 91-05 § 1.01.011)
