Please note that there is no prescribed appeal period for Fence Height Exception. The current proposal seeks to introduce a 10-working day appeal period for this permit. In addition, County Subdivision Regulation Section 7013.4 prescribes a 10-calendar day appeal period for subdivision permit decisions. However, the following subdivision permit decisions will not be changed to 10 working days as these appeal periods are mandated by state statute as follows: | ||
1. |
Ten (10) calendar days to appeal decision with respect to a tentative map in the case of conversion of residential property to condominium, community apartment project, or stock cooperative project (Government Code 66452.5); and | |
2. |
Fifteen (15) days to appeal denial of an extension on a tentative map (Government Code 66452.6, under Article 2, Tentative Maps; Government Code 66453.5, under Article 5, Parcel Maps; and Government Code 66498.5, under chapter on Subdivisions/Development Rights). | |
This proposal also adds the definition of "working day" to the Zoning Regulations. "Working day" is defined as every day that the Planning and Building Division is open for business as Section 6102.83.3. | ||
VISION ALIGNMENT | ||
The proposal to revise appeal periods of most planning permits to 10 working days, keeps the commitment of realizing the potential of our diverse population and Goal Number 2: Civic engagement - including voting, public service, charitable giving, volunteerism and participation in public discussions of important issues - is uniformly high among the diverse population. This proposal contributes to this commitment and goal by providing adequate time for community to participate in discussions of decisions made on permit applications. | ||
