AGENDA REPORT ���
TO: Honorable City Council
_V I
FROM: David A. Bobardt, Community Development Director
DATE: May 14, 2013 (CC Special Meeting of 511512013)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending the Procedure for the Pre-Screening
of General Plan Amendments and Rescinding Resolution No. 2013-
3166
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On March 20, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-3166 adopting an
amended procedure for pre-screening of general plan amendments to allow a
Councilmember to request that a General Plan Amendment Pre-Screening application
be scheduled for public hearing before the City Council without review by the
Community and Economic Development Committee. This procedure included a May
20, 2013 deadline for Council action on such a request from applications that were in
the November 30, 2012 cycle. An item had been scheduled for the regular Council
meeting of May 15, 2013 to consider a request from Councilmember Millhouse to
consider General Plan Amendment Pre-Screening Application No. 2012-02 (Coastline
RE Holdings Moorpark) without review by the Community and Economic Development
Committee. Due to an injury, Councilmember Millhouse is unable to attend the May 15,
2013 City Council meeting and will likely be unable to attend the June 5, 2013 City
Council meeting. A resolution amending the pre-screening procedure deadline for
Council action from May 20, 2013 to June 20, 2013 is proposed to allow for
Councilmember Millhouse to be present when his request is being considered. If the
pre-screening procedure is amended, staff will recommend at the regular Council
meeting of May 15, 2013 that Councilmember Millhouse's request be considered at the
June 19, 2013 regular City Council meeting.
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION
This is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act because the revision
to the General Plan Amendment Pre-Screening procedures does not have the
possibility for having any impact on the environment.
