A. The form of notice to consider adoption of a development agreement before the planning commission or city council shall contain:
1. The time and place of the hearing;
2. A general explanation of the matter to be considered including a general description of the area affected;
3. The location or locations where a copy of the proposed development agreement may be reviewed;
4. Other information required by specific provisions of this chapter or which the director of community development considers necessary or desirable.
B. The time and manner of giving notice is by:
1. Publication at least once and at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation, circulated in the city.
2. Mailing of the notice at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing to the applicant, to the owner of the property subject to the development agreement, to each local agency expected to provide water, sewage, streets, roads, schools, or other essential facilities or services to the project whose ability to provide those facilities and services may be significantly affected, to any person who has filed a written request for notice with either the city clerk, and to all persons shown on the last equalized assessment roll as owning real property within three hundred feet (300') of the property which is the subject of the proposed development agreement; provided, the director of community development may direct that notice be given over a wider area to adequately inform interested persons. If the number of owners to whom notice is to be mailed is greater than one thousand (1,000), the director of community development may as an alternative provide notice in the manner set forth in section 65901 of the Government Code.
C. The planning commission or city council, as the case may be, may direct that notice of the public hearing to be held before it shall be given in a manner that exceeds the notice requirements prescribed by state law, but failure to comply with such procedure shall not invalidate a development agreement.
D. The notice requirements referred to in this chapter are declaratory of existing law (Government Code sections 65867, 65090 and 65091). If and when state law prescribes any different notice requirement, notice shall be given in that manner. (Ord. 2073 § 1, 1989)
