11. CODE AMENDMENT 2024-0005 (ORDINANCE NO. 1556) TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY AND CLARITY OF THE CITY'S ENTITLEMENT PROCESSES RELATED TO ALCOHOL PERMITS, SOIL REMEDIATION, MURALS AND GRAPHICS, AND TEXT ERRORS The proposed Code Amendment 2024-0005 (Ordinance No. 1556) is a City-initiated update to Section 9299 of Part 9 (Administration) of Chapter 2 (Zoning) of Article 9 (Land Use) of the Tustin City Code. The amendments, part of the ongoing "Streamline Tustin" program, aim to enhance the efficiency, clarity, and modernity of the Zoning Code in alignment with the City's Strategic Plan. Proposed updates include: 1. Alcoholic Beverage Sales Establishments: Streamlining the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) process by allowing approval without a public hearing if no objections are received within 10 days of public notice. 2. Soil Remediation: Removing the requirement for Zoning Administrator approval, given oversight by State and county agencies. 3. Murals and Graphics: Clarifying language to accommodate new technologies and media for murals. 4. General Updates: Eliminating duplicate text and correcting typographical errors for improved clarity. On October 8, 2024, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended City Council approval of proposed Code Amendment 2024-0005.
