The Planning Commission finds and determines: That an amendment to Tustin City Code Section 9296(b), related to notification procedures for public hearings, has been prepared to establish an administrative procedure requiring that a notice of public hearing be mailed or delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing to all owners of real property within 500 feet of the real property that is the subject of the hearing. That a public hearing was duly noticed, called, and held on this project by the Planning Commission on April 22, 2002. That the California Government Code requires certain noticing procedures for public hearings, but allows a local agency to also give notice of a public hearing in any other manner it deems necessary or desirable. That an increase in the notification distance of 300 feet required by the California Government Code to 500 feet will serve to ensure that all potentially affected property owners are notified and is reasonably necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Tustin. That a notification distance of 500 feet is consistent with the regulations promulgated by the Fair Political Practices Commission which state that a decision affecting real property is presumed to have a material effect on an official's property within a distance of 500 feet. That the proposed amendment is not a "project" pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). That the proposed amendments are consistent with the Tustin General Plan in that they comply with Goal 4 to assure a safe, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing community for residents and businesses. 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 1 2 3 4 Resolution No. 3830 Page 2 II.
