A. 
General. Whenever a public hearing is required to be held, notice of the public hearing shall be given in compliance with this Chapter. These requirements are based on the statutory requirements established in Government Code Sections 65090, 65091, and 65854. Unless stated otherwise, notice must be given at least 10 calendar days before the public hearing, or at least 20 calendar days if for a proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment that affects the permitted uses of real property.
B. 
In addition to the notices sent to the applicant and other property owners required by this Chapter and State law, notice shall also be mailed or delivered to any person who has filed a written request for notice with the City Clerk. The City may charge a fee which is reasonably related to the cost of providing this service. Requests for notice must be renewed annually.
C. 
Notice shall also be sent to each local agency expected to provide water, sewage, streets, roads, schools, or other essential facilities or services to the project, whose ability to provide those facilities and services may be significantly affected.
D. 
The failure of any person or entity to receive notice shall not constitute grounds for any court to invalidate the actions of the City for which the notice was given.
E. 
A public hearing conducted in compliance with this Chapter and State law may be continued from time to time to a specific date and time, without additional notice.
F. 
The Zoning Administrator may give notice of a public hearing in any other manner they deem necessary or desirable, or when the decision will constitute a substantial and significant deprivation of the property rights of other landowners.
(Ord. 978, 11/17/2025)
When a notice of a public hearing is required, the notice shall include the following information:
A. 
A general description (in text or by diagram) of the location of the property that is the subject of the hearing;
B. 
A general explanation of the matter to be considered;
C. 
The date, time, and place of the public hearing;
D. 
The identity of the hearing officer or body;
E. 
A reference to application materials on file for detailed information;
F. 
A statement that any interested person may appear and be heard; and
G. 
Other information which is required by statute or specific provisions of this chapter or which the zoning administrator deems necessary or desirable.
(Ord. 978, 11/17/2025)
A. 
Notice of a public hearing shall be given for a particular matter in compliance with Table 18.205-A (Summary of Notice Requirements).
B. 
All notices shall be published at least once in a newspaper of general circulation, at least 10 calendar days before the public hearing, or at least 20 calendar days if for a proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment that affects the permitted uses of real property.
C. 
Alternative Noticing. In compliance with Government Code Section 65091, if the number of property owners to whom notice would be mailed is greater than 1,000, the City may instead provide notice by placing a display advertisement of at least one-eighth page in at least one newspaper of general circulation in the City. The newspaper advertisement shall be in circulation at least 10 calendar days before the hearing, or at least 20 calendar days if for a proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendment that affects the permitted uses of real property.

(1)
Pursuant to Government Code Section 65091, if the number of owners to whom notice would be mailed is greater than 1,000, the city may instead provide notice by placing a display advertisement of at least one-eighth page in a newspaper of general circulation in the city, at least 10 days before the hearing.
(2)
Notice shall be given to each resident within 300 feet of the applicant's property, and to the applicant's homeowner's association, if there is one. However, if an apartment, condominium, or other multi-family housing complex exists within the 300-foot radius, notice may be given only to the resident manager, management firm, or owner, in lieu of sending notice to each resident of the complex.
(3)
The Zoning Administrator shall, within 20 calendar days after the application is deemed complete, notify all residents and property owners within 300 feet of the project site, and the Planning Commission and City Council, that a decision will be made by the Zoning Administrator to approve or deny the Minor Exception application on a date specified in the notice, and that a public hearing will be held only if requested in writing by any interested person before the specified date for the decision. When a hearing is requested, notice of the hearing shall be provided in compliance with this Chapter.
