RECOMMENDATION
Introduce Ordinance No._,approving a correction to the City's official Zoning Map related
to the Open-Space Hazard (OH)mapping within the Eastview portion of the City.
BACKGROUND
In December 2011,the Planning Commission conducted public hearings for a proposed
code amendment that would amend the City's interpretation procedure to allow property
owners greater flexibility to adjust the location of the OH boundary line on their property
without having to process a costly and time-consuming code amendment.The proposed
code amendment is a separate item on the Council's February 7,2012 agenda.As a
result of the public meeting requests for said code amendment,some residents in the
Eastview section of the City raised concerns to Staff about the depiction of the OH
boundary line in the Eastview area.Staff investigated the matter and concluded that the
OH areas in the Eastview area had been incorrectly depicted on the City's Official Zoning
Map when the Eastview area was annexed into the City in 1984.The purpose of this item
is to correct the City's Zoning Map.
DISCUSSION
When Eastview was annexed into the City in 1984,a Zoning Map amendment was
approved which established the zoning for the area.Along with the residential and
commercial zoning districts,three natural canyon areas were zoned Open-Space Hazard.
The extent of the OH zoning for these three canyons was depicted in an exhibit attached to
the ordinance which adopted the Eastview zoning (Ordinance No.184).As noted earlier,
as a result of the proposed amendment related to adjusting the location of the OH zoning

districts Citywide,it came to Staffs attention that there is a discrepancy between the Open-
Space Hazard (OH)areas depicted on the Official Zoning Map and the OH areas depicted
on the exhibit for Ordinance No.184 (attached),which approved the zoning for the
Eastview area when it was annexed in 1984.In analyzing the exhibit for Ordinance No.
184 and the City's Official Zoning Map,it appears that the OH areas on the Zoning Map
were drawn larger than the areas in the exhibit to Ordinance No.184.
Since Staff had no reason to believe that the City's Official Zoning Map was drawn
incorrectly,this discrepancy has been in place since 1984.Staff discussed this issue with
the City Attorney,who opined that the OH areas depicted on the exhibit to Ordinance No.
184 take precedence over the depiction that was subsequently made on the Official Zoning
Map,and thus the Official Zoning Map needs to be corrected in order to be consistent with
the adopted Ordinance No.184.Working with the City's GIS Staff,Staff has made the
necessary corrections to the City's digitized Official Zoning Map so that the OH areas in the
Eastview area match the exhibit for Ordinance No.184.
Additionally,Staff is taking this opportunity to label the overlay control district for Mira Vista
"OC-5"and the residential zoning district "rs-5"zoned areas within Eastview on the
corrected Zoning Map.This is simply to provide further clarity as to the extent of these
existing zoning districts.
As such,Staff is recommending that the City Council introduce an Ordinance that corrects
the Official Zoning Map so that the mapped OH areas match the exhibit for Ordinance No.
184.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Public Notice
The Council's approval of a corrected Zoning Map does not require a public notice or public
hearing since the Council's action is not amending the Zoning Map but is simply correcting
the zoning map to match the amendment that was approved in 1984 by the City Council at
duly noticed public hearings when the Eastview area was annexed in 1984.
CONCLUSION
Based upon the discussion above,Staff recommends that the Council introduce Ordinance
No._,approving the corrected Official Zoning Map.
