DEVELOPMENT PERMIT (DP) APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Applications for a Development Permit are processed by the Community Development Department, Planning Division.

I. Preliminary Review

Prior to applying for a DP, it is highly recommended that a Preliminary Review be submitted and checked. This

the Planning Commission. The Preliminary Review consists of three (3) sets of plans which include the site plan, floor

plan(s), and elevations, along with a completed application, environmental checklist and a review fee of $930.00. The

Preliminary Review is designed to allow applicants to be informed of the Planning Division’s recommendations and

requirements prior to preparing the complete DP package and paying the required fees. This review may not include

recommendations and requirements of other Departments or Agencies (e.g. Building and Safety, Fire, County Health,

etc.).

II. Complete DP Package

1. Ten (10) copies of proposed and/or existing plans. All plans should be submitted on 24” x 36” paper and folded to 8

½” x 11”. Set of plans should include the following:

$2,160.00 Total

How is the application processed?

Development Permits are approved based upon the discretion (subject to appeal) of the Planning Commission. Upon the

submittal of the above mentioned materials and payment of fees, the proposal will be given a case number (e.g.2016-01

DP), and be scheduled for the earliest appropriate Planning Commission meeting. Assuming the materials submitted are

accurate and complete, Planning Division staff can process the application and present it to the Planning Commission

within approximately one month from the formal submittal date. The processing includes the notification of all property

owners within 300 feet of the site (or as required by the California Environmental Quality Act if applicable), a notice of the

request advertised in a newspaper of general circulation and the preparation of a staff report (subject to environmental

analysis and findings as required by the California Environmental Quality Act) for the Planning Commission.

DP APPLICATION GUIDELINES – PAGE 2

It is recommended that the applicant, property owner, and /or representative attend the meeting, and be prepared to

answer questions and present evidence supporting the requested DP. In order for the Planning Commission to approve a

request for a DP, the Commission must find that based upon the information contained in the application and the testimony

given at the public hearing, the following circumstances (findings) apply:

A. The proposed development is one permitted within the subject zoning district and complies with all of the applicable

provisions of the Code, including prescribed development/site standards;

B. The proposed development is consistent with the General Plan;

C. The proposed development would be harmonious and compatible with existing and planned future developments

within the zoning district and general area, as well as with the land uses presently on the subject property;

D. The approval of the Development Permit for the proposed project is in compliance with the requirements of the

California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City’s Guidelines;

E. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and density/intensity of use being proposed;

F. There are adequate provisions for public access, water, sanitation, and public utilities and services to ensure that the

proposed development would not be detrimental to public health, safety, and general welfare; and

G. The design, location, size, and operating characteristics of the proposed development would not be detrimental to the

public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

The Planning Commission is interested in hearing all views concerning the proposed DP, and how it applies to the required

findings. It is suggested that the applicant prepare themselves to answer questions pertaining to the required findings during

the public hearing.

A staff report will be available at the Community Development Department public counter on the Monday before the

Planning Commission meeting. A copy of the report will also be provided to the applicant prior to the meeting.

What happens after the Planning Commission’s decision?

After publicly discussing the case, the Planning Commission may approve, deny, or continue the case to a later meeting for

further study.

It is important to know that if an application is approved, it does not become final until fifteen (15) days after the date of

approval. During this time an appeal may be filed by the applicant or anyone requesting that the City Council reverse or

modify the decision of the Planning Commission. An appeal may be filed and paid for at the City Clerk’s Office in City Hall.

The appeal will then be scheduled to be heard by the City Council which may affirm, modify or overturn the Planning

Commission action.

What are “conditions” of approval?

If the application is approved, the DP may contain certain conditions affecting the proposed use/development. The Planning

Division recommends conditions to the Planning Commission for the mitigation and/or improvement of the individual

circumstances to ensure the compatibility of the use with surrounding land uses.

For further information, please contact the Planning Division by calling (323) 584-6210 between 7:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Monday through Thursday.
