(CODIFYING ASSIGNMENT OF HEARINGS
REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS)
T
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as follows (omitting the parenthetical
footnotes from the official text of the enacted or amended provisions of the County
Ordinance Code):
SECTION I. SUMMARY. This ordinance amends Sections 26-2.408 and 26-2.1204 of the
County Ordinance Code to codify the long-standing practice and intent of the Board of
Supervisors, as established in Resolution No. 85/412, that the zoning administrator has the
responsibility as the hearing body to consider and make recommendations on proposed
development agreements when they are processed separately from the project applications,
and that the planning commission has that responsibility when it is considering the project
applications and the development agreement is being processed concurrently. This ordinance
also confirms the Board's pre-existing intent that assignment of functions to the planning
commission and the zoning administrator by resolution is equivalent to assignment by board
order.
SECTION II. Section 2-26.408 of the County Ordinance Code is amended to read:
26-2.408 Planning commission - Powers and duties. The planning
commission shall:
(1) Exercise all powers and duties prescribed by law (statute, ordinance,
resolution or board order), including consideration of matters referred to it by the
zoning administrator except those powers and duties specifically reserved or delegated
to other divisions of the planning agency; .
(2) Initiate preparation of general plans, specific plans, regulations, programs
and legislation to implement the planning power of the county;
(3). Be generally responsible for advising the legislative body of matters
relating to planning, which, in the opinion of the commission, should be studied;
(4) Be the advisory agency as designated in Title 9 of this code for the
purpose of passing on subdivisions;
(5) Hear and decide all applications or requests for proposed entitlements
estimated to generate 100 or more peak hour trips unless otherwise provided by this
code or board order; and
(6) Hear and make recommendations regarding proposed development
agreements when it is hearing the related project applications being processed
concurrently with the development agreements. (Ords. 92-73 § 2, 1992: 92-66 § 1,
