RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council introduce an ordinance to correct a clerical error in Ordinance ORD-2023-016, which was previously adopted by Council on December 12, 2023, to renumber the Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management Chapter as Chapter 9-32.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Ordinance is being brought forward to correct an inadvertent clerical error in Ordinance ORD-2023-016, which was adopted by Council on December 12, 2023, to renumber the Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management Chapter of the Santa Rosa City Code as Chapter 9-32.
BACKGROUND
On December 12, 2023, the City Council adopted Ordinance ORD-2023-016 adding Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management Chapter as Chapter 9-30 within the Santa Rosa City Code. Because Chapter 9-30 already existed in the City Code, it is recommended that the new Chapter be renumbered as Chapter 9-32.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL REVIEW
Prior history is included in the analysis section below.
ANALYSIS
On December 5, 2023, the City Council introduced an Ordinance to add Chapter 9-30 to Title 9 Health and Safety of the Santa Rosa City Code pertaining to Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management. The Ordinance was thereafter adopted on December 12, 2023 as Ordinance ORD-2023-016.
Ordinance ORD-2023-016 specified that the Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management Chapter was to be codified as Chapter 9-30 within the Santa Rosa City Code. Because Chapter 9-30 already existed in the City Code, this Ordinance is being brought forward to Council to renumber the Hazardous Vegetation and Fuels Management Chapter as Chapter 932.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
