DATE: September 13, 2016 (CC Meeting of 9/21/2016)
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Directing the Planning Commission to Study,
Hold a Public Hearing and Provide a Recommendation to the City
Council on a Proposed Amendment to the General Plan Safety

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
Section 8685.9 of the Government Code limits State assistance on eligible projects as
part of the California Disaster Assistance Act to no more than 75% of total state eligible
costs, unless the local city has adopted a local hazard mitigation plan in accordance
with the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 as part of the Safety Element of its
General Plan, in which case the Legislature may provide for a state share of local costs
that exceeds 75% of total state eligible costs. On September 13, 2016, the County of
Ventura adopted a revised Ventura County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan that covers 9 of
the 10 cities in the county (Simi Valley did not participate in this plan), as well as the
unincorporated area of the county.
The Municipal Code calls for a resolution of City Council to initiate an amendment to the
General Plan. The attached draft resolution, if adopted by City Council, would direct
staff and the Planning Commission to study and provide a recommendation to the City
Council on a General Plan Amendment to include this document in the Safety Element
of the City's General Plan.
