RECOMMENDATION
Continue the public hearing on the proposed application package to September 18, 2012,
to allow the applicant additional time to address geotechnical issues raised by the City
Geologist related to the project's proposed septic system.
DISCUSSION
This matter involves a property owner's request for the relocation of a land use and
zoning boundary line and construction of a new home on a vacant lot located at 10
Chaparral Lane. The application package was presented to the Planning Commission on
February 28, 2012. At that time, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
application. Because a General Plan Amendment and Zone Change is involved, the
Planning Commission's role is solely advisory and the decision on the application must be
rendered by the City Council. Thus, a public notice informing the public of the Council's
consideration of this item on April 17th was duly published. On April 17th, the City Council

continued the public hearing to June 5th at the applicant's request, to allow the applicant
an opportunity to address geotechnical issues raised by the City Geologist related to the
project's proposed septic system. Prior to June 5th, the applicant notified Staff that
additional time was needed and thus requested that the public hearing be continued
further. At the applicant's request, on June 5th, the City Council continued the public
hearing to July 17, 2012. The applicant recently notified Staff that he needs additional
time to address the issues. Based on the applicant's request, Staff is recommending that
the public hearing be continued to September 18, 2012. Interested parties have been
notified of this continuance recommendation.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After the original April 17th City Council hearing on this item, Staff received public
correspondence related to the proposed project. This email as well as any subsequent
public correspondence will be attached to and/or addressed in the September 18th Staff
Report.
