CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Subject: Initiation of a Development Code Amendment to grant an
automatic, one time, two year extension of time on
Conditional Use Permits, Development Permits and
Variances which were previously approved and valid as of
September 13 , 1993 .
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of December 20, 1993
BACKGROUND
Senate Bill 428 was approved by the Governor on September 13 , 1993 .
It was approved on an urgency basis because of adverse economic
conditions in the construction industry. It extended the
expiration date of tentative tract maps and parcel maps that had
not expired on the effective date of the legislation.
The City has various related development projects (Conditional Use
Permits and Development Permits) which were approved concurrently
with, or shortly after the tentative tract or parcel map, but which
are not included in the automatic extension. Since the maps have
been extended, the related projects should be also.
In addition, the same economic conditions affect development
projects not related to tentative tracts or parcel maps. Because
of the time and cost associated with preparing plans and studies in
order to get a development application processed, I feel that all
approved projects should receive the same consideration.
COSTS TO CITY
Planning Division staff estimates that it will cost approximately
$1500 for staff to complete an amendment. This does not include
review by any other departments/divisions.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Planning Division staff be directed to prepare an
amendment to the Development Code to allow an automatic, one time,
two year extension of time on previously approved Conditional Use
Permits, Development Permits and Variances. In addition, the
amendment should be retroactive to include those projects that were
valid as of September 13 , 1993 .
Tom Minor, Mayor
