§ 8184-2.6. Screening of privately-initiated applications for zoning ordinance amendments.

(a)

All privately-initiated applications for amendments to the Coastal Zoning Ordinance (Section 8184-2.1(d)) shall first be first screened by the Board of Supervisors prior to any further processing by the Planning Division staff. The purpose of this Board of Supervisors initial screening process is to determine if the privately-initiated application is consistent with the purpose of ordinance amendments in Section 8184-1 and appropriate for further processing by the Planning Division staff, or if for any reason such further processing is not warranted.

(b)

The Planning Division shall prepare a brief report and recommendation for the Board to use in its screening decision-making process.

(c)

If the Board does authorize Planning Division staff to further process the privately-initiated amendment to the Coastal Zoning Ordinance, the Board action shall not confer or imply ultimate approval of any such Coastal Zoning Ordinance amendment request. If the Board does not authorize Planning Division staff to further process the privately-initiated amendment, that decision shall be final.
