ITEM TITLE: Resolution - Establishing a schedule and fee for consideration of
General Plan Amendments
INITIATED BY: Director of Planning
BACKGROUND
Section 64361 of the Government Code which went into effect January 1, 1974 states:
"No mandatory elemenfof.a general plan shall be amended more frequently than
three times during any calendar year, which amendment or amendments may occur
at 'any time as determined by the legislative body. This section shall not apply
to adoption of any element of the General Pl an. II
'. . .._~
ANALYSIS .
1. It'is clear from the language in the law that a number 6f miscellaneous small
changes to the Plan can be considered together as one amendment, but not more than'
, three times a year.
2. To maintain flexibility in the General Plan and an ability by the City to reflect
changing conditions, one amendment should be reserved speci,fically for City use to
amend the plan as necessary upon completion of City-initiated studies.
The remainint two amendments could be scheduled as shown below, with hearings held
twice a year at six month intervals.

City Council Meeting of March 5, 1974
AGENDA ITEM ,NO.. 5
Supplemental Page No. 2
This schedule would avoid holding hearings in November and December, during the
holidays which is always a difficult time to schedule, and would permit the
first set of hearings to be completed prior to the summer vacation season. Amend-
ments now being prepared (such as Dr. Bloom's for the regional shopping center)
should be exempt from this schedule inasmuch as it is incumbent on the City to
give reasonable notice of changes in rules and regulations.
3. The question arises as to the appropriate fee for a General Plan Amendment
application. The work required to review such an application is at least as
complex as on a rezoning application ($175 filing fee) and in many cases would be
much more complex. A fee of $200 plus $2.00 for each acre over 5 acres appears
reasonable.
