PUBLIC HEARINGS:
2. CODE AMENDMENT 2013-002 (ORDINANCE NO. 1430) AMENDING THE
TUSTIN SUBDIVISION CODE (ARTICLE 9, CHAPTER 3 OF THE TUSTIN CITY
CODE).
The proposed amendments are comprehensive and are part of the Community
Development Department’s continuing effort to implement Tustin City Council
policy direction by making government processes and procedures more
streamlined. On May 28, 2013, the Community Development Department
transmitted the proposed amendment to the Planning Commission to afford the
Commission sufficient time to consider the proposed update and set the item for
public hearing on June 11, 2013. Key changes proposed in the proposed
amendment include:
1. Removing outdated language;
2. Performing ordinance “general housekeeping” to ensure consistency with
the State Subdivision Map Act revisions and current City practice; and,
3. Process streamlining.
The May 28, 2013 staff report to the Planning Commission summarized the key
changes proposed in Ordinance No. 1430. Process streamlining is the most
significant element of the proposed changes. Staff believes that its
implementation will have the greatest positive impact on facilitating and
streamlining the subdivision process.
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Proposed Ordinance No. 1430 is not a "project" under the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section 15378(b)(2) and (5) of
the CEQA Guidelines.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 4217, recommending that
the Tustin City Council adopt Ordinance No. 1430, approving Code Amendment
(CA) 2013-002 and adopting proposed amendments to the Tustin Subdivision
