FROM: INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE
��SrA`COUtZ�
DATE: April 10, 1989
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE CODE TO PROVIDE FOR A HEARING PRIOR TO ISSUANCE
OF A GRADING PERMIT INVOLVING 1000 CU.YARDS OR MORE OF MATERIAL NOT
REQUIRED AS A PART OF ANY OTHER ENTITLEMENT
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
1. 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.
