Page 3 of 4 references the Public Contract Code itself where those dollar amounts are listed, alleviating the need to make amendments to the Municipal Code whenever this section of the Public Contract Code is amended. In §7.20.050 Hearing – Schedule – Notice, current language requires the City Clerk to schedule a hearing to a vicious dog hearing no longer than 10 days from receipt of a certification that such hearing is necessary. The proposed amendment clarifies that the “days” referenced in this section are business days. The service of notice is also updated to allow service by email, mail, and personal service. The hearing location has be updated to allow for virtual hearings to accommodate scheduling timelines and to allow greater flexibility for both city staff and residents to hold a hearing. Chapter 9.14 Stormwater Management and Discharge Control was a model storm water ordinance recommended by the Alameda County Clean Water Authority and was adopted on June 4, 2024 (Ord. 2281). The adoption of the model ordinance, however, did not include Watercourse protection provisions, which were previously codified in the Municipal Code as Chapter §9.14.090. This amendment serves include previously codified §9.14.090 back into Chapter 9.14 as §9.14.095. Minor formatting changes to §9.14.100. In Chapter 13.08 Library and Recreation. Amend §13.08.020 to update the definition of "Director" to reflect actual title, as well as amend the definition of "Director" to allow for the designation of the position. In §13.08.110 Vehicles, amends current language to utilize the defined title of "Director." In §13.08.150 Motor driven cycles and model vehicles and planes, current language prohibits the operation of any airborne, waterborne, or landborne model planes, vessels or vehicles without the written permission of the director. Because only “planes” are specifically prohibited, a loophole in the prohibition existed wherein unmanned drones and model rotorcraft (helicopters) were not prohibited under the current language. The Federal Aviation Agency defines “aircraft” as any devices that is used or intended to be used for flight in the air, including planes. This amendment would prohibit the operation of motorized aircraft from park and recreation facilities without distinguishing planes from unmanned drones or other types of aircraft, such as model rotorcraft (helicopters) and gliders. In Chapter 14.04 Regulation of Water System and Water Services Fees, add to §14.04.010 the definition of “non-functional turf.” In §14.04.060(G), additional language is added to prohibit the use of potable water on “non-functional turf” to comply with state law (AB 1572 of 2024). In Chapter 18.36 RM Multi-Family Residential Districts, amends the following sections of the Municipal Code to comply with state law (AB 2334 of 2022): §18.36.060, §18.44.080, and §18.84.030. These are technical changes to modify language “referencing site area unit” to “dwelling units per acre” so that the Municipal code reflects a non-negotiable density standard instead of a development standard that may be waived by the State Density Bonus Law (as amended by AB 2334 of 2022). To remedy currently existing omissions, amendments propose to include the R-1 District in a list of zoning districts that allow residential uses where the code identifies how to round the numerical value of unit calculations, such as the method that is consistent with the other zoning districts. No additional density is being conferred with these modifications as the proposed text amendment reflect a mathematical conversion. In Chapter 18.68 PUD Planned Urban Development District, remove from §18.68.070 identifying the City as a third party beneficiary to conditions, covenants, and restrictions placed Page 8 of 864
