The following is a summary of the major revisions resulting
from the City Attorney's comments.
1. Municipal Code Section 2.12.080.B - Rather than list the
specific uses subject to Planning Director Conditional Use
Permit approval, the Draft Ordinance Amendment simply states
that Conditional Use Permit requests are submitted to the
Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator, or Planning
Director as provided in the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The City Attorney's office identified the potential
confusion and in some cases inconsistency between the
Municipal Code provisions for appeals and two sections of
the Zoning Ordinance which address appeals. In response to
this comment, amendments to those Municipal Code Sections
addressing appeals are included to refer to the Zoning
Ordinance for the Appeal procedures. A Draft Amendment to
Section 8-102.0 of the City's Zoning Ordinance (See Exhibit
A Section 20) is included to specifically identify the
Appeal Board, the appeal period and the appeal process for
various Planning applications.
Section 8-92.0 (see Exhibit A Section 24) of the Zoning
Ordinance is currently titled "Administration or
Enforcement: Appeals". To minimize confusion between
Section 8-92.0 and 8-102.0, the Draft Ordinance Amendment
re -titles this section "Interpretation/Determination or
Review" and clearly identifies the process by which an
Applicant, Commission or Council member or other affected
person may request the Planning Commission to review a
nondiscretionary permit, requirement, or determination made
by any City of Dublin staff member relating to a planning or
zoning matter. The individual requesting the Planning
Commission Review or determination would be required to
submit factual information relating to the determination.
This information, along with a Staff Report, would be
presented to the Planning Commission as a non-public hearing
at a regularly scheduled meeting. The Draft Amendment
provides for the Planning Commission's determination to be
appealed to the City Council.
3. The City Attorney identified a concern with the lack of
Public Notice provided in the City's existing Site
Development Review process. In response to this comment,
the Draft Ordinance Amendment includes a provision for
property owners within a 300 foot radius of the project
property to be notified of an application and provides a
10 day public review and comment period prior to action on
the application.
