Title 22 Tune Up Ordinance

Project Number: 2020-001427-(1-5) / Plan Number(s): RPPL2019006515

Overview

On December 11, 2019, the Regional Planning Commission initiated periodic amendments to Title 22 - Planning and Zoning Code - of the County Code to make modifications as needed so that Title 22 is error-free, coherent, consistent, and easy to read and interpret. These amendments, known as “tune ups,” will be done on an annual or periodic basis as necessary, and will be mostly technical in nature.

For this 2020-21 Tune Up cycle, amendments are proposed for the following:

Correct or update internal references within sections;
Remove duplicate language;
Clarify ambiguous language or reinsert language from the previous Title 22 if the language was clearer;
Correct inadvertent changes made to land use regulations from the previous Title 22 or the Zoning Consistency Project in 2015;
Clarify applicability of certain development regulations;
Clarify ministerial procedures for Signs, Short-term Special Events Permits, Adult Business Permits, and Administrative Oak Tree Permits;
Insert language where necessary to be consistent with other County regulations;
Update provisions for specific land uses to comply with recently adopted state legislation; and
Split two chapters into several new chapters and a new Division - for Project Fee Programs and Specific Plan
