Public notice radius for land-use applications
Summary
Council Member Vasquez asked staff to explore expanding the 300-foot mailing radius for development notices to 500 feet, inspired by Dana Point, after residents said they learned of the Vista Del Lago approval too late. The city attorney said it's legal but must apply evenly and could invite density bonus waiver requests.
