ORDINANCE: of the City of Chula Vista City Council amending various sections of the Chula Vista Municipal Code including Title 19 (Zoning Ordinance) related to special events; temporary outside sales; and temporazy promotional signs; and Title 18 (Subdivision Ordinance) related to administrative procedures for the subdivision of land for the purposes of process improvements. SUBMITTED BY: ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER / DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIRECTOR ®~ ~. S' REVIEWED BY: CITY MANAGER ~' ~ JDS ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER ,~ 4/STHS VOTE: YES ~ NO ~X SUMMARY In keeping with the City's Continuous Improvement efforts, the Development Services Department launched a comprehensive review in early 2009, of the City's development review process to determine improvements that could streamline it, increase transparency, improve public access, make it more predictable for applicants and reduce the cost of project review, permitting, and inspection. The review has been named the Process Improvement Program and consists of staff committees and an Oversight Committee made up of members of the public. The item for consideration this evening is to amend various sections of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) Title 19 (Zoning Ordinance) related to special or promotional events held on private property; temporary outside sales; and temporazy promotional signs, and Title 18 10-1 February 26, 2013 Item Page 2 of 6 (Subdivision Ordinance). The proposed process improvements will streamline the permit review process by increasing clarity in the application process and consolidating the review process. For Tentative Maps, the hearing process will be reduced from two hearings to one and delegated to the Planning Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. No environmental review is necessary. RECOMMENDATION That City of Chula Vista City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt an ordinance amending various sections of the Chula Vista Municipal Code including Title 19 (Zoning Ordinance) related to special events; temporary outside sales; and temporary promotional signs; and Title 18 (Subdivision Ordinance) related to administrative procedures for the subdivision of land for the purposes of process improvements. BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION On January 9, 2013, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments to Title 19 and Title 18. DISCUSSION In 2008, the City started looking at concepts of Continuous Improvement to eliminate waste in processes, reduce costs, and streamline processes for customers. Toward that end, in early 2009 the Development Services Department initiated a review of the City's development processes to determine what improvements could be made to reduce redundancy, administrative costs and processing timelines while increasing opportunities for public input and review. The effort is referred to as the Process Improvement Program. A staff committee was convened to identify a series of short and long term issues that needed to be addressed to improve the development review process, and in the spring of 2009, a 25 member Development Services Oversight Committee ("Oversight Committee") was formed to work with staff in identifying additional areas that needed improvement and assist in developing workable solutions. The Oversight Committee is comprised of developers, business owners, community organizations, engineers, architects, and contractors. In 2010, numerous improvements were made to the development review process as part of Phase 1 of the Process Improvement Program. A list of completed tasks is provided as Attachment 6. Over the last year, the Oversight Committee has been meeting about quarterly to review and provide input on draft work products developed by staff. Numerous process improvement efforts were pursued including the items before the City Council related to the promotional or special event and Temporary outside sales permit process on private property and the Tentative Map Approval process. 10-2 February 26, ?013 Item Page 3 of 6 A. Special Event, Temporary Outside Sales and Temporary Signage Permit Process on Private Property One of the areas identified for improvement efforts was the City's special event permit process held on private property and regulated by Title 19 (Zoning Ordinance). This report does not address the Special event Program for large public events processed by the City Manager's Office. Representatives for the Olympic Training Center (OTC), a repeat customer of the City's special event process, asked City staff to consider changes to the permit process that would result in a simpler, less cumbersome process. Furthermore, the current special event permit process narrowly limits events for businesses to four types: grand openings; business anniversaries; change of business address; and change of ownership or lessee. However, over the years several other types of events proposed by businesses have been permitted through the special event permit process. In response to OTC's request, staff representing Development Planning, Traffic Engineering, Fire and Building evaluated the Special Event permit process as well as the Temporary Outside Sales and Temporary Promotional Sign permit process. Staff held several meetings to evaluate the current permit process, application form and the applicable codes. After much discussion focused on providing greater clarity and consistency to the process, staff recommended that the special events permit process for private businesses be renamed "Promotional Events" which would include grand openings, change of business ownership, business anniversaries and other similar events held on private property typically related to the business. The name clarification to "Promotional Events" is intended to help customers distinguish better from large public events a~td minor promotional events. Improvements were also identified for the permit application process. Currently, the special event permit is processed over-the-counter after which, customers leave with an application form having staff approval signatures from Planning, Traffic Engineering, Fire and in some cases Police. The customer may leave with the impression that they are done with the permit process; however, some events require structural permits for items such as generators, tents or canopies from Fire and/or Building. Customers may also be required to schedule an inspection triggered by these additional permits prior to the event, but in many instances the events come and go without benefit of inspections. The current process does not track the workflow for these permits, which causes confusion for both staff and customers. Permit tracking through workflow specific to promotional events, temporary outside sales and temporary sign permits will be created within the City's Permits Plus database. Efficient permit tracking will improve customer service by enabling the customer to schedule a pending inspection the same day they are obtaining the permits. Staff also proposes to simplify the permit application. The application will incorporate templates for acceptable temporary sign locations, and will reflect the recommended processing changes described above. Providing more application information for customers up front should enable them to prepare more complete applications allowing them to move more quickly through the City's review process. The over-the-counter review process will also be enhanced by combining 10-3 February 26, 2013 Item Page 4 of 6 Planning and Traffic Engineering staff review eliminating an extra review step. (See Attachment 5 -Process Flow Chart). The following is a summary of the proposed amendments to CVMC Title 19 related to the Special Event Permit process. Attachment 1 provides the detailed strikeout underline text of the relevant sections of Title 19. Section 19.58.370: Temporary outside sales permits will be approved by the Director of Development Services instead of the Zoning Administrator, and the Director of Development Services shall allow temporary holiday sales (e.g. Christmas tree and pumpkin patch lots) to exceed seven consecutive days, provided that all other requirements of this section are met. To ensure sufficient time to obtain all needed approvals and inspections, applicants will be required to submit applications 15 business days prior to the event. Signage associated with temporary outside sales or promotional events will be regulated by the existing code section for Temporary Promotional Signs (see CVMC 19.60.500(C)). Section 19.58.380: This section is recommended to be repealed because the regulations provided are already addressed in both CVMC Sections 19.58.370 and 19.60.500. Minor promotional events are temporary and are typically related to temporary outside sales events or other promotional events and most often include temporary promotional signs. CVMC 19.58.370 as well as section 19.60.500(C) currently provides location and Signage requirements. Section 19.60.500(C): Minor changes are proposed for the existing section regarding Temporary Promotional Sign to reflect the changes noted above. B. Tentative Map Approval Process Another area identified for process improvement is the Tentative Map approval process. The land development process related to the subdivision of land is primarily composed of two phases: The Tentative Map phase where the subdivider provides the overall plan for the development and the City sets forth the conditions for development. This phase is discretionary, it provides the property owner with the entitlement to subdivide their property but there is no actual subdivision of land. Environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act is conducted at this phase and requires that the impacts be disclosed to the decision makers prior to making the discretionary decision. The Final Map phase, anon-discretionary final approval, where the land is actually subdivided. The approval of Final Maps is currently delegated to the City Engineer. The Subdivision Map Act (Section 66542.1 (b)) allows for the approval of Tentative Maps by an advisory agency, such as the Planning Commission, rather than by the legislative body, such as the 10-4 February 26, 2013 Item ~:~ Page 5 of 6 City Council, if authorized by ordinance. Consistent with this provision, the proposed ordinance changes to Title 18 affect the Tentative Map phase and delegates what was formerly City Council approval to the Planning Commission. Table 1 summarizes the detailed strikeout underline text of the relevant sections of CVMC Title 18 (Attachment 2). Table 1 Section Descri lion Throughout Title 18 Changes the approval authority for Tentative Maps from the City Council to the Cit Planning Commission 18.12.070 Requires a finding of water availability for subdivisions of 500 units or larger er State re uirements 18.12.090 Requires the Planning Commission staff report to be delivered to all condominium owners in the case of a condominium i conversion 18.12.125 Allows for appeals of interested parties to be presented to the Cit Council 18.13.60 Allows for extension requests to be filed within 90 days of an ex irin vestin Tentative Map. Staff recommends that Tentative Map approval be delegated to the Planning Commission for the following reasons: • Decision making is delegated with one body making the decision at a public hearing. The process is more efficient with less time spent on multiple agenda preparation processes, such as duplicative staff reports and public noticing. • As with all other discretionary actions, the decision to approve a Tentative Map made by the Planning Commission can be appealed by any interested party to the City Council. DECISION MAKER CONFLICT Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not site- specific and consequently, the 500-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations Section 18704.2(a) (1) is not applicable to this decision. Staff is not independently aware, nor has staff been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision-maker conflict of interest in this matter. CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT The Process Improvement Program has been developed to reduce redundancy, costs and processing timelines, and to improve opportunities for public input in the development review process. The administrative costs for the development of the program have been included in the Development Services Fund. 10-5 February 26, 2~~ Item Page 6 of 6 ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT The application fees and processing costs for individual special event, temporary outside sales and temporary promotional sign permits, and Tentative Maps are established by the Master Fee Schedule and are paid to the City by the Applicant.
