.010 A filing fee of twenty-five dollars is hereby established for candidates' nomination papers for elective offices at municipal elections held in the City of Anaheim.
.020 The filing fee shall be paid to the City Clerk by each candidate for an elective office at the time the candidate's nomination paper is filed with the City Clerk.
.030 The City Clerk shall pay to the City Treasurer all fees received which shall be deposited in the General Fund.
.040 Notwithstanding subsection .010 above, a candidate may submit to the City Clerk a petition containing four signatures of registered voters for each dollar of the filing fee, or any portion thereof, in lieu of the fee otherwise required pursuant to this section.
.050 The City Clerk shall furnish to each candidate, upon request, and without charge therefor, forms for securing signatures pursuant to this section. Such forms shall be made available commencing forty-five days before the first day for circulating nomination papers. No other form except the form furnished by the City Clerk shall be used to secure signatures. The substitution of signatures for fees shall be subject to the following provisions:
.051 A voter may sign both a candidate's nomination papers and his or her in-lieu-of-filing-fee petition.
.052 Any registered voter may sign an in-lieu-of-filing-fee petition for any candidate for whom he is eligible to vote.
.053 If a voter signs more candidates' petitions than there are offices to be filled, the voter's signatures shall be valid only on those petitions which, taken in the order they were filed, do not exceed the number of offices to be filled.
.054 In-lieu-of-filing-fee petitions shall be filed at least fifteen days prior to the close of the nomination period. Upon receipt of the minimum number of in-lieu-of-filing-fee signatures required, or a sufficient combination of such signatures and pro rata filing fee, the clerk shall issue nomination papers provisionally. Within ten days after receipt of a petition, the clerk shall notify the candidate of any deficiency. The candidate shall then, prior to the close of the nomination period, either submit a supplemental petition, or pay a pro rata portion of the filing fee, to cover the deficiency.
.055 Each candidate may submit a greater number of signatures to allow for subsequent losses due to invalidity of some signatures. The clerk shall not be required to determine the validity of a greater number of signatures than that required by this section. (Ord. 3232 § 1; November 20, 1973: Ord. 4117 § 1; April 15, 1980.)
.010 Where an environmental impact report is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act prior to the approval by the City of Anaheim of any lease, permit, license, certificate or other entitlement for use, such environmental impact report shall be completed and certified within the time provided by law.
.020 Where a negative declaration is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act
prior to the approval by the City of Anaheim of any lease, permit, license, certificate or other entitlement for use other than a tentative map or parcel map for the subdivision of property, such negative declaration shall be completed and certified within the time provided by law.
.030 Where a negative declaration is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act prior to the approval by the City of Anaheim of any tentative map or parcel map for the subdivision of property, such negative declaration shall be completed and certified within the time provided by law.
.040 The time limits set forth in this section shall apply only to those circumstances where the City of Anaheim is a lead agency with regard to such approval or project as defined in the California Environmental Quality Act.
.050 The time limits specified in this section may be extended for additional reasonable periods of time upon consent of the project applicant to such extension or extensions.
.060 Where any provision of this Code establishes a time limit within which a public hearing must be set for any matter for which an environmental impact report or negative declaration is required, and which does and which time does not conflict with applicable law, calculation of such time limit shall be deemed to commence upon the date of completion of such draft environmental impact report or negative declaration notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the contrary. (Ord. 5131 § 1; June 5, 1990; Ord. 5774 §§ 44, 45, 46, 47; July 24, 2001 .)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code to the contrary, in the event of a tie vote upon any motion, resolution or ordinance, or in the event a motion, resolution or ordinance fails to receive the minimum number of affirmative votes legally required for adoption, and no other action is taken at the same meeting with regard to such subject matter, the following rules shall apply with regard thereto:
.010 If such failure of action is the result of the absence of one or more City Council members who would otherwise have been legally qualified to vote on such matter and which vote(s) could have resulted in the adoption of the motion, resolution or ordinance, the matter shall be deemed automatically continued by operation of law to the next regular meeting for further consideration.
.020 If such failure of action is the result of an abstention by one or more City Council members (whether legally required or otherwise) upon any matter previously acted upon by a lower tribunal and which action of the lower tribunal would have become final but for an appeal to or review by the City Council, the decision of the lower tribunal, including all findings of fact and/or conditions of approval contained in such decision, shall be deemed reinstated and in full force and effect by operation of law as of the date of such failure of action. In all other instances, such failure of action shall be deemed a denial of the matter, request or application by operation of law. The term “lower tribunal” as used herein shall mean the Planning Commission, or any other commission, board, official, hearing officer or employee of the City when making a decision which, by law, would be final in the absence of an appeal to or review by the City Council.
.030 Any action by operation of law pursuant to subsection .020 above shall be deemed a final decision for all purposes as of the date of the vote which results in such failure of action by the City Council (subject to any rehearing procedures otherwise available), except that any action pursuant to either subsection .010 or .020 above shall be subject to rescission or reconsideration in the time and manner set forth in the City Council Rules of order adopted by resolution of the City Council. (Ord. 5846 § 1; January 7, 2003: Ord. 6156 § 1; September 22, 2009.)
