Sunshine Ordinance <br />September 17, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br />4. Budget Outreach and Strategic Plan <br />5. Open Calendars <br />6. Lobbyist Registrations <br />1. Site Plan Review Pre-Application Meetings <br />The Santa Ana Coalition for Responsible Development (SACReD) has requested that the <br />City consider requiring early community meetings for significant development projects, and <br />the City Council has directed staff to make recommendations in this regard. <br />Existing Transparency <br />It is important to note that the City has informally implemented similar types of measures for <br />a number of years. Most recently, for example, the City worked with Orangewood <br />Children's Foundation to ensure that the community was involved in the approval process <br />for the Academy Charter High School. <br />Any New Requirements Should Meet Certain Goals <br />So long as the requirements are balanced, staff is supportive of formalizing the existing <br />community meeting practices. Four goals have guided this analysis and staff <br />recommendation. Staff believes that the requirements should not: <br />1. Lengthen the development process <br />2. Add significant new costs for applicants <br />3. Require significant additional City resources, staffing or otherwise <br />4. Be overly complicated to implement <br />Community Meeting Should Only Apply to Larger, More Complex Projects <br />The recommended ordinance requires one community meeting be conducted at the <br />beginning of the development review process. This requirement would apply only to the <br />larger, more complex projects such as: City-sponsored projects (including but not limited to <br />those that involve a development agreement or a disposition and development agreement), <br />new residential projects with 25 or more units; new non-residential projects with buildings <br />that are greater than 10,000 square feet in size and involve a Negative Declaration or <br />Environmental Impact Report; projects that involve changes to General Plan, zoning, or <br />Specific Plan. <br />WSA-2
