SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL
ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 03-01
SUGGESTED FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL—ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT NO. 03-01:
1. Zoning Text Amendment No. 03-01 to amend Chapter 203, Chapter 210, and Chapter 230 of the
Zoning and Subdivision Ordinance is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and
programs specified in the General Plan and any applicable specific plan because the amendments
clarify the definitions for certain terms relating to walls and fences, expand the public notification to
include property owners who face the rear of through lots, and specifies design criteria for walls at
the rear of through lots. The zoning text amendment will allow for greater public participation and the
design criteria established will create a uniform design standard for wall design.
2. In the case of a general land use provision, the zoning text amendment is compatible with the uses
authorized in, and the standards prescribed for, the zoning district for which it is proposed. The
amendment will result in increased compatibility between properties based on a standardized block
wall design at the rear of through lots.
3. A community need is demonstrated for the change. The need for expanded notification for
conditional use permits on residential through lots and design criteria for block walls are desired by
the community.
4. Its adoption will be in conformity with public convenience, general welfare and good zoning practice
by codifying definitions and design criteria that that will regulate the development of block walls at the
rear of through lots and protects the general welfare of the public through additional notification
requirements.
