A. Official Interpretation. Whenever the Community Development Director determines that an ambiguity in a zoning regulation exists or upon the request of an applicant, property owner or interested party, the Community Development Director shall issue an official interpretation. Official interpretations shall be in writing and shall cite the provisions being interpreted together with an explanation of the meaning or applicability of the provision(s) in the particular or general circumstances that caused the need for interpretation. All official interpretations shall be provided to the requestor, Planning Commission, City Manager, City Attorney and City Council. The official interpretation shall also include information regarding the city's appeal procedures, as appropriate. The Community Development Director shall make an interpretation based on his or her judgment and understanding of the current Zoning Code and pertinent sections of the municipal code.
B. Amendment. Any provision determined by the Community Development Director to be ambiguous pursuant to this chapter shall be clarified by amendment to the Zoning Code as soon as is practical.
C. Record. The Community Development Director shall maintain a record of all official interpretations available for public review. (Ord. 2010-02 § 1 (part), 2010)
