Councilor Davis,

I asked Shanna to take a look at Veronica’s interpretation of the recent Administrative Amendments; she is incorrect in saying that the amendments apply to the entire Sector Plan.

Shanna’s response is below.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

Veronica’s interpretation of Administrative Amendments (AA) is not correct – the allowed deviationsdo not apply to the entire sector plan. The Notice of Decision for the two recent AAs in the Nob Hill area (Copper/Aliso and Carlisle/Central) specifically state that the allowed deviations areproperty specific (see below). The same deviations allowed via these AAs would not be allowed on any other properties outside of the properties that made each request. This means, in the most recent example,only The Carlisle development will be able to utilize the additional sign height. I also reviewed the LUHO’s Notice of Decision for both cases and did not see him elude to the idea that the AAs would be applicable throughout the sector plan.

I’ve chatted with Council’s legal staff, who typically reviews and handles land use appeals, and he concurred with this position.
