RE: Pre-Appeal Report
PLANNING COMMISSION 02-23-04
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING 02-25-04

Attached is the "Pre-Appeal Report" in the new format, which is presented as a "Draft Agenda" for future Planning Commission and Administrative Hearing items.  Staff is working on code amendments that will eliminate the pre-appeal process.  These modifications are scheduled for Council consideration on February 24, 2004.

Please note that a majority of the Council members must vote in favor of a pre-appeal. Council should specify the reason for the pre-appeal and indicate any appealed items on which it wishes to have expanded notification.

If you have any questions, please contact Trudi Ryan, the City's Planning Officer, at (408) 730-7435.
