ORDINANCE NO. 2KD
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING,
ESTABLISHING INTERIM ZONING PROVISIONS TO ENSURE THAT
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY OCCURS
IN CONFORMITY WITH THE GENERAL PLAN
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDDING DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. FINDINGS OF FACT. The City Council finds and declares as follows:
A. Redding's General Plan, adopted on October 3, 2000, and effective on November 2,2000,
contains land use classifications which, in some cases, do not correlate directly with the
zoning districts contained in Title 18 of the Redding Municipal Code.
B. The General Plan Diagram, in certain instances, conflicts with the land use classifications
previously applied to properties. Rezoning of these properties to reflect the new land use
classifications has not yet been accomplished.
C. The present zoning ordinance of the City of Redding, in some instances, does not conform
to the objectives, policies, and intent of the General Plan.
D. The City Council has approved a work program to update the City's zoning ordinance and
rezone properties in a timely fashion in order to achieve conformance with the adopted
General Plan.
E. An urgency ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace,health,
and safety in that the issuance of development permits which are inconsistent with the
General Plan inhibits community-desired development patterns and prevents the General
Plan from acting as the constitution for development within the City, a foundation upon
which all land use decisions are to be based. Further, where such zoning inconsistencies
exist,the inconsistency with the General Plan violates the provisions of Government Code
Section 65860. Authority for establishing interim zoning measures is afforded by
Government Code Section 65858.
SECTION 2. INTERIM REVIEW PROCEDURES,GENERALLY.
In order to facilitate and encourage orderly development within the city during the interim period
during which the zoning ordinance is being revised and properties rezoned, the following interim
review procedures are established for all land use requests and development applications: SO
SU
A. All discretionary land use actions and physical development applications shall be reviewed
for conformance with the objectives, policies, and intent of the General Plan.
`f
B. No application shall be denied if found to comply with the General Plan and the objectives,
policies, and intent expressed therein, even though such application is found not to comply
with the use provisions of the present Zoning Ordinance of the City of Redding.
C. The Development Services Director(Director)shall have the authority to determine whether
or not a project or proposed land use conforms to the objectives, policies, and intent of the
General Plan. The Director shall also have the authority to determine the intensity and
density of uses that should be applied to a given property based on the General Plan land use
classification that has been designated, anticipated future zoning, if any, and an analysis of
existing and surrounding development. The Director may, at his discretion, refer the
consistency determination to the Planning Commission.
D. Any person dissatisfied with the determination of the Director may appeal the determination
to the Planning Commission by filing a written appeal with the City Clerk within ten days
of the determination. The Director shall thereupon set a date for a public hearing to be held
before the Planning Commission,provide notice of said hearing as required by State law and
local ordinance, and submit a report to the Planning Commission in advance of the hearing,
which report shall set forth the reasons in support of the determination.
E. Any person dissatisfied with the decision of the Planning Commission may appeal the
decision in the manner set forth in Section 18.74 of the Redding Municipal Code.
F. The following table provides guidance on the correlation between the General Plan land use
classifications and existing zoning districts and related standards. The table maybe used as
a guide in assisting in initial project design, but does not supercede Items 2A, 2B, or 2C
above.
