The decision maker varies
on development projects based on several factors including:
- Type
of project proposed
(rezoning, conditional use permit, building permit, etc)
- Location
of the project
(Coastal Zone, Community Plan Implementation Overay Zone,
Beach Impact Area, etc.)
- What is on the property
(wetlands, historical structures, steep slopes, etc.)
Generally, projects with detailed regulations and no discretionary
review necessary are typically decided by City staff. Projects
that require discretionary review as provided in the Land
Development Code are decided at a public hearing
by:
For more detailed information about the development process see our
online guide, Development Process:
Step-by-Step. Other Reviewers
In addition to public hearing, projects may also be reviewed
by:
- Land Use and Housing Committee
A committee of City Councilmembers that oversees a variety
of land use, facilities, transportation, and housing
issues.
- Historical Resources Board
Reviews historical sites, approve historical districts,
and review development projects where the site contains
designated historical
resources. The Board also establishes administrative
policies that govern conduct of business, and historical
standards and guidelines
designed to clarify policy and provide direction to
City staff.
- Community Planning Groups (CPG)
For projects that require discretionary decisions,
CPGs review and make recommendations to approve or
deny projects in their
areas
to the City Council, Planning Commission, city departments
and other governmental agencies.
- Community Planners
Committee (CPC)
The CPC, which is composed of representatives from
the Community Planning Groups, provides a forum
to discuss citywide planning issues.
