Council corrects subdivision-noticing radius; ordinance adopted 7–0
Summary
The council approved a correction to Title 18 that restores a 100-foot noticing radius for lot-line mergers and minor land divisions after staff and the planning commission identified a drafting error that had set it to 300 feet.
The Chico City Council unanimously approved an ordinance correcting the subdivision-noticing radius for minor land divisions and lot-line mergers. Planning staff explained the last-year update to Title 18 had mistakenly included minor land divisions in a 300-foot noticing requirement; the planning commission and staff recommended returning the noticing radius to the intended 100 feet.
Planning staff (introduced as Mr. Ambo) told the council the change restores consistency with previous practice and was recommended by the planning commission. No public speakers addressed the item during the hearing. The council closed the public hearing, moved to approve the ordinance and adopted it on a 7–0 vote.
Next steps: The ordinance as adopted corrects the city’s subdivision-noticing rules to reflect staff and planning-commission intent; staff will implement the change in permitting notices.
