RECOMMENDATION
Continue the public hearing on the proposed application package to July 17, 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 to allow the applicant an opportunity to address
geotechnical issues raised by the City Geologist related to the project's proposed septic
system. The applicant has been working with the City Geologist since the last public
hearing and 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
July 17, 2012. Interested parties have been notified of this continuance recommendation.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Since the April 17th City Council hearing on this item, Staff received one email related to
the proposed project. This email as well as any subsequent public correspondence will be
attached to and/or addressed in the July 17th Staff Report.
