Amendments may include reclassifications of property, changes in the text of the Code, or establishment, abolition, or modification of a setback line.

The ordinance aims to correct typographical errors, update outdated cross-references and make non-substantive revisions to clarify or simplify Code language.

These amendments are affirmed under the California Environmental Quality Act and are consistent with the General Plan and the eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1, which should serve public necessity, convenience, and general welfare.

The amendments are seen as necessary for the effectiveness and clarity of the Planning and Administrative Codes, ensuring they are up to date and reflect current practices.

After the Planning Commission hearing, if they find the public necessity, convenience, and general welfare require the proposed amendment, they will adopt a recommendation for approval. The Board of Supervisors may then adopt the amendment by a majority vote. For disapproval, certain recommendations by the Planning Commission are final unless a valid appeal is filed with the Board of Supervisors.

The amendment process involves multiple checks, including determination by the Planning Department under the California Environmental Quality Act, findings of the Planning Commission's consistency with the General Plan and the eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1, and ultimate approval or disapproval by the Board of Supervisors with potential for appeal.
