ORDINANCE NO. 2050
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM AMENDING
TITLE 1, CHAPTER 1.042 SECTION 1.04.370(c)
OF THE ANAHEIM MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO
OFFICERS AND DEPARTMENTS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DOES FIND
THAT:
WHEREAS, under the terms of the new City Charter of
the City of Anaheim adopted by the voters and to become the
law of the City of Anaheim on ratification by the State Legis-
lature, the number of planning commissioners was established
at the number of seven; and
WHEREAS, the present authorization of planning com-
missioners is seven members but there are regwired five members
to constitute a _quorum for the transaction of business; and
WHEREAS, the requirement of five members for a
quorum existed in contemplation of the authorization of nine
members for the Planning Commission; and
WHEREAS, it would be in the best interests of the
City to change immediately the number required for a quorum
from five to a majority of the members of the Planning Com-
mission.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
ANAHEIM DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.
That Title 1, Chapter 1.04, Section 1.04, 370(c) of
the Anaheim Municipal Code be and the same is hereby amended
to read as follows:
111.04.370(c)
"The Planning Commission shall hold at least one re-
gular meeting each month and such additional meetings
as it deems advisable and shall keep a record of its
resolutions, transactions, findings and determina-
tions, which record shall be a public record.* A
majority of the total voting members of the Planning
Commission shall constitute a quorum for the trans-
action of business. The adoption, amendment,
extension or addition to a master or general plan,
or the recommendation of, or any amendment to, any
precise plan or regulation shall be by resolution
of the Commission carried by the affirmative vote
of not less than a majority of its total voting
members."
SECTION 2.
This ordinance is hereby declared to be an urgency
measure and shall be in full force and effect immediately upon
its adoption. The facts constituting such urgency are as
follows:
-1-
C7
The provisions of the Charter,of the City, which
will go into full force and effect the first part of 1965, will
immediately reduce the number of Planning Commissioners -from
nine to seven and make no specific provision for the number
required for a quorum. The original requirement of five
members for a quorum as provided by the Anaheim Municipal
Code was enacted in contemplation of a total membership of
nine Planning Commissioners. Section 1.04.350 of the Anaheim
Municipal Code now provides for a total membership of seven
for the Planning Commission. Since seven members are now
appointed and constitute the Planning Commission, it becomes
more difficult to obtain a quorum of five members and effectively
transact the business of the Planning Commission. It is, there-
fore, desirable to change the required number of commissioners
for a quorum from five to a majority of the present membership.
The change of such number will properly provide for the orderly
transaction of the business of the -Planning Commission and will
be in the best interests of the City of Anaheim and the citi-
zens thereof.
The adoption of this ordinance as an urgency measure
is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health, safety and public welfare.
SECTION 3.
The City Clerk shall certify to the passage of this
ordinance and shall cause the same to be published once within
fifteen (15) days after its adoption in the Anaheim Bulletin,
a newspaper of general circulation, printed, published and
circulated in said City, and immediately upon and after its
passage it shall take effect and be in full force.
THE FOREGOING ORDINANCE is approved and signed by
me this 29th day of September, 1964.
