City council will consider amending the municipal code to provide more community oversight regarding minor modifications to approved development permits at a hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. The proposal will consider making all substantial conformance review decisions into a Process 2 decision. Currently, the substantial conformance review decisions are Process 1 decisions citywide, except in the coastal zone where they are Process 2 decisions. In Process 1 decisions, city staff unilaterally determine whether a modification “substantially conforms” to the development without having to inform the community, whereas process two decisions require the community to be notified three separate times. In Process 1 decisions, the community cannot appeal the decision, whereas Process 2 allows the community to appeal staff decisions to the Planning Commission. The California Coastal Commission will have the final say on the amendment to the municipal code, since it also affects the city’s Local Coastal Program. For more information, call (619) 446-5220. The public is invited to speak on the matter for three minutes or to submit comments via e-mail at [email protected], via fax at (619) 533-4045 or via letter to city council, attention City Clerk, City Administration Building, 202 C St., San Diego, CA 92101-3862, Mail Station 2A. The city council meets on the 12th floor at the City Administration Building at 202 C St.
