Administrative Zoning Ordinance Amendments
What Are Administrative Zoning Ordinance Amendments?
The Administrative Zoning Ordinance Update (AZOU) is a package of small, administrative, amendments to Title 130.
These amendments are proposed on a yearly basis, and will fall into one or more of the six (6) following categories:
- Minor corrections and text modifications for clarity; correcting errors, ambiguity, or omissions; and consistency;
- Minor procedural changes that are not controversial or clarify standard industry practice;
- State law requirements that allow or restrict by right uses;
- Incorporation of Director Interpretation of various sections of the Zoning Ordinance that have not been appealed;
- Consolidate or renumber previously adopted zoning regulations not included in the 2015 Zoning Ordinance Update; and
- Incorporation of implementation measures outlined in elements of the General Plan.
