Titles 18-20 Legal Review/DRC Omnibus Cleanup

Proposal by the City of Riverside to consider an omnibus zoning cleanup to amend Title 18 (Subdivision), Title 19 (Zoning), and Title 20 (Cultural Resources) of the Riverside Municipal Code (RMC), including, but not limited to, Title 18 Articles I (Subdivision Code Enactment and Applicability), II (Subdivision Code Administration, Interpretation, and Enforcement), III (Maps and Permits), IV (Requirements for Filing and Approval Process), V (Permit Provisions), and VI (Definitions); Title 19 Articles I (Zoning Code Enactment and Applicability), II (Zoning Code Administration, Interpretation, and Enforcement), III (Nonconforming Provisions), IV (General Zoning Provisions), V (Base Zones and Related Use and Development Provisions), VII (Specific Land Use Provisions), VIII (Site Planning and General Development Provisions), IX (Land Use Development Permit Requirements/Procedures), and X (Definitions); and Title 20. The proposed amendments are intended to: 1. Implement changes to Titles 18-20 that CivicPlus has recommended through their legal review of the RMC, particularly updates to references and naming conventions of RMC titles, updates to references of state legal codes, and removals of duplicate text; 2. Replace all references to the Development Review Committee (DRC) in Titles 18-20 with references to the Staff Application Review Team (START), as part of the City of Riverside’s One Stop Shop refresh effort; and 3. Make other minor, non-substantive changes and technical corrections as required to provide clarity, correct errors, or remove redundancies as necessary.
