Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis,-Funding Source, Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Transmitted for your consideration is Code Amendment No . 89-2, a request by the Department of Community Development to grant citation power to Land Use Code Enforcement personnel for the purpose of enforcing the Zoning and Municipal Codes . RECOMMENDATION: 1. Approve Code Amendment No. 89-2 and adopt the attached ordinance granting citation power to Land Use Enforcement. ANALYSIS• In November, 1988, the Planning Commission formed an Ad Hoc Committee to study land use code enforcement within the community. In its final report to the City Council, the Ad Hoc Committee recommended citation power be given to land use staff . The committee noted that citation power would be used only in cases involving health and safety or in cases involving chronic violators . A survey conducted by the committee showed that the majority of Orange County Cities have citation powers, including Anaheim, Santa Ana, Garden Grove, and Costa Mesa. The Department of Community Development supports the Ad Hoc Committee' s recommendation to grant citation power to the Land Use staff, finding that compliance time for chronic violators is decreased, the process becomes more cost efficient, and would free-up City Attorney staff to concentrate on more serious legal matters . In a January 20, 1988 memorandum to Jim Silva, past chairman of the Committee for Community Preservation, City Attorney, Gail Hutton, supported the use of citation power if used "intelligently, discretely, and in selected types of cases" . The City Attorney also states that if citation powers are granted, the following items should also be implemented: ' P10 5/85 1. Change current misdemeanor violations to infractions for A) parking on lawns HBOC S 9110 . 10, B) illegally parked vehicles -- various code sections, C) portable signs HBOC S 9610 .4 (m) & (n) . 2 . Provide a citation power -- Penal Code S 853 . 6 to Senior Land Use Investigators . 3 . Senior Land Use Investigators shall receive peace officer training before issuing citations pursuant to Penal Code S 832. 4 . All issued citations shall be forwarded to the City Attorney for review and approval. 5 . Citations will be filed with the court through the Police Department process . The Community Development staff supports the granting of citation power to the Land Use staff for the following reasons : 1) decreased compliance time for serious land use violations, 2) savings to the taxpayer due to more efficient system, 3) will free-up City Attorney personnel to concentrate on more serious legal matters . Both Community Development and the City Attorney' s Office concur that citations will not be issued by the Land Use staff until the case has been fully reviewed and discussed by both Departments . Only then, would a citation be issued. This check and balance system is necessary to eliminate potential civil liability. ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS: Pursuant to the environmental regulations in effect at this time, the Department of Community Development posted draft Negative Declaration No. 89-5 for ten days, and no comments, either verbal or written were received. The staff, in its initial study of the project, has recommended that a negative declaration be issued. Prior to any action on Code Amendment No. 89-2, it is necessary for the City Council to review and act on Negative Declaration No. 89-5. FUNDING SOURCE: Minor increase in revenue due to the issuance of citations . ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS: Deny Code Amendment No. 89-2 . ATTACHMENTS 1.
