Request County Counsel to prepare and return to the Board of Supervisors an ordinance which will amend the current county ordinance code to require notice and an opportunity to request a hearing prior to the issuance of a grading permit when 1000. cubic yards of material are involved and the grading was not otherwise covered by any other entitlement permit. 2. Remove this item as a referral to our Committee. BACKGROUND: On March 7,1989 the Board of Supervisors referred to our Committee the issue of whether notice and an opportunity to request a hearing should be provided before a grading permit is issued which does not involve a subdivision or any other entitlement permit. There are relatively few cases where this becomes an issue,as when grading is done on a drainage channel and the material is deposited on a vacant piece of property. Since this type of incident,although infrequent, can cause concern on the part of neighbors, the Director of Building Inspection and Director of Community Development, on April 10, 1989, recommended to our Committee that notice and an opportunity to request a hearing before the zoning administrator be provided in these cases. Mr.Giese has proposed language in a memorandum to our Committee which is attached to this report. We concur with staff's recommendation and are therefore recommending that the Board direct County Counsel to prepare the necessary ordinance.
