This Memorandum of understanding (MOU) is based upon Government Code Section 65919.1, which authorizes the County and the citie to agree upon a procedure for referral and comment on proposed land development projects. In an attempt to design one agreeme that could be used by all jurisdictions in the region, the SAND Task Force on City-County Coordination drafted the proposed MOU and forwarded it to the County and to each of the cities for review and comment. As a result of this staff review, the Task Force revised the MOU to respond to the comments received, and transmitted it to the Board of Supervisors for action. The Boa unanimously approved the revised Memorandum of Understanding on May 22, 1989, and is herein transmitting same to each of the cities for similar approval. Please note that the Memorandum provides for a 45 day referral and comment period for major discretionary pro-jects of regional significance (as defined by the State Environmental Quality Act Guidelines), and for a lesser referral period (based on each city's normal notification requirements) for the smaller projec located within the Sphere of Influence areas and/or located in close proximity to the common boundary between jurisdictions. The attempt here was to avoid unnecessary paperwork and changes to existing city and County notification procedures, while assuring adequate notification on projects of interest to other jurisdictions. % 0 e Norman W. Hickey -2- June 15, 1989 Note that the intent of the MOU is to voluntarily enhance notification/coordination procedures on land use projects which are of interest to other jurisdictions. The MOU is not intendel as a means for potential litigation for failure to provide such notice. The MOU specifically states that failure to provide th notice, or failure to consider the comments received, shall not constitute grounds for a court to invalidate the actions of the jurisdiction. Also, please note that any jurisdiction may terminate their participation in the MOU by providing ninety da notice. We hope that this MOU will respond to the needs of each city, a will provide a useful procedure that all jurisdictions can use enhance regional coordination on major land use matters. With your support, this agreement will act to further our goal of improving regional coordination. If you have any questions with regard to the proposed agreement please contact Mr. William Healy, Deputy Director of the County Department of Planning and Land Use, at 694-2969.
