C CITY OF SAN B~NARDIN& MEMORAND~ - To JACK STRICKLER, Chairman Legislative Review Committee Subject Planning Letter of Authorization _ Declaration in Lieu of Notarization From RALPH H. PRINCE City Attorney Date May 21, 1986 Approved Date 760.3 750.17 You have requested that another form of verification of the Planning Department's Letter of Authorization for planning applications to replace the current practice of subscribing and swearing before a Notary Public, be presented to the Legislative Review Committee with the appropriate ordinance. The reason for this request is that Notaries Public are scarce and often unavailable at the time an owner authorizes an agent or developer to proceed with an application. The proposal would expedite the processing of the application and would reduce the cost to the applicant. Code of Civil Procedure Section 2015.5 permits a declaration under penalty of perjury to be used in lieu of a sworn statement required under any law or rule or regulation of this state. The Letter of Authorization of the Planning Department would be modified to read as follows: "This letter shall serve to notify you and verify that I/we am/are the legal owner(s) of the property described in Exhibit B attached hereto and do hereby authorize:" The verification and declaration under penalty of perjury would be inserted before the signatures of the legal owners as follows: "I/we am/are the legal owners of said property; have read the foregoing letter of authorization and know the contents thereof; and do hereby certify that the same is true of my/our own knowledge. I/we certify (or declare) under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of of California that the foregoing is true and correct." A space for the place where the Declaration is executed by the owners would be inserted. The notary public statement would be deleted. The Planning Director and Planning Commission should review and modify or approve the revised Letter of Authorization.
