Division 1.02 — Interpretation and Enforcement

1. Incorporation of Clarifying and Interpretive Materials. The Zoning Administrator may

incorporate photographs and other graphic materials with this Development Code, and any interpretation thereof, for the purpose of clarifying its provisions. All clarifying and interpretive materials incorporated into this Development Code shall be clearly identified as such.

2. Removal of Clarifying and Interpretive Materials. The Zoning Administrator shall

cause the immediate removal of any interpretive materials that have been included in this Development Code pursuant to Subsection C (Incorporation of Clarifying/Interpretive Materials), above, which have been affected by a Development Code amendment or modification on appeal.

G. Establishment of Operational Performance Standards.

1. In making a land use determination, the Zoning Administrator may require certain

safeguards and impose certain operational performance standards established to ensure that the purposes of this Development Code or applicable specific plan are maintained; ensure that the project will not endanger the public health, safety or general welfare; ensure that the project will not result in any significant environmental impacts; ensure that the project will be in harmony with the area in which it is located; and ensure that the project will be in conformity with The Ontario Plan and any applicable specific and/or area plan(s).

2. All operational performance standards or other requirements authorized by this

Section are enforceable in the same manner and to the same extent as any other applicable requirement of this Development Code or applicable specific plan.

H. Codification. In making an interpretation or land use determination pursuant to this Section, the Zoning Administrator shall prepare a written analysis to determine if the interpretation or land use determination is significant enough to require codification into this Development Code. The analysis should consider whether the interpretation or determination will be sufficiently common or recurring in the future, to justify a text amendment, or so unusual or rare that an amendment is not necessary. The analysis shall also identify all zoning districts where the new use(s) could be listed, as well as any special operational conditions, standards or limitations that should be imposed on the use(s).

The procedures for the enforcement of the provisions of this Development Code and any entitlement approved thereunder shall be as follows:

A. Applicability.

1. The Zoning Administrator shall have jurisdiction of, and be responsible for, the

administration and application of the regulations and provisions of this Development Code. The Zoning Administrator may call upon the Building Official, Police Chief, Fire Chief or Code Enforcement Director, and their authorized agents, to assist in the enforcement of this Development Code.

2. All officials, departments, and employees of the City vested with the authority or

duty to issue permits, certificates, or licenses shall comply with the provisions of this Development Code and shall not issue a permit, certificate, or license that is in conflict with the provisions of this
