ZONING ADMINISTRATOR AGENDA NOVEMBER 4, 2020 Basic Meeting Information Agenda An agenda is provided for each meeting. The agenda is posted on the posting boards outside the Civic Center entrance and Council Chamber. Meeting agendas and approved minutes are kept current on the City website at www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings. The items on the agenda are arranged in four categories: Consent Calendar: These are relatively minor in nature, do not have any outstanding issues or concerns, and do not require a public hearing. All consent calendar items are considered as one item and a single vote is taken for their approval, unless an item is pulled from the consent calendar for individual discussion. There is no public discussion of consent calendar items unless requested by the Zoning Administrator. Public Hearings: This category is for case applications that require, by law, a hearing open to public comment because of the discretionary nature of the request. Public hearings are formally conducted and public input/testimony is requested at a specific time. This is your opportunity to speak on the item(s) that concern you. Public Hearing Procedure: The Zoning Administrator (ZA) will follow the following procedure for all items listed as public hearing items: 1. The ZA will ask for presentation of the staff report; 2. The ZA will have the opportunity to question staff in order to clarify any specific points; 3. The applicant and the project representative will be allowed to make a presentation; 4. The public hearing will be opened; 5. Members of the audience will be allowed to speak, for a maximum of 3 minutes per speaker; 6. The applicant will be given an opportunity to respond to comments made by the audience; 7. The public hearing will be closed; and 8. Discussion of the proposal will return to the ZA with formal action taken to approve, conditionally approve, deny, or continue review of the application. Business Items: Items in this category are general in nature and may require action. Public input may be received at the request of the Zoning Administrator. See information for Speaker’s Card/Request to Speak on the first page. Work Study Session: Items in this category are generally items requiring discussion. No action will be taken. Persons wishing to speak regarding Work Study Session matters should file a "Request to Speak" form with the Recording Secretary. Staff Reports: Staff reports can be downloaded from the City’s website at https://www.santa-ana.org/cc/city-meetings If you have any questions regarding any item of business on the agenda for this meeting, or any of the staff reports or other documentation relating to any agenda item, please contact the Planning and Building Agency at 714-667-2732. Appeals: The formal action by Zoning Administrator shall become effective after the ten-day appeal period, unless appealed. The appeal must be filed with the Planning Department, accompanied by the required filing fee, within ten days of the date of the Zoning Administrator’s action, by 5:00 p.m. If the final day to appeal falls on a City Hall observed holiday or a day when City hall is closed, the final day to appeal shall be extended to the next day City Hall is open for public business. An appeal from the decision or requirement of the Zoning Administrator may be made by any interested party, individual, or group. Please note: Under California Government Code Sec. 65009, if you challenge in court any of the matters on this agenda for which a public hearing is to be conducted, you may be limited to raising only those issues which you (or someone else) raised orally at the public hearing or in written correspondence received by the City at or before the hearing. Submittal of information for dissemination or presentation Written Materials/Handouts: Any member of the public who desires to submit documentation in hard copy form may do so prior to the meeting or at the time he/she addresses the Zoning Administrator.
