The proposed modifications are intended to be consistent with the City’s “Streamline Riverside” Initiative, which stems from the City’s “Business Ready Riverside” Program, which is aimed at identifying and implementing strategic changes in expanding the City’s “readiness” for facilitating new business and investment. Specifically, the proposed amendments include, but are not limited to: 1) revisions to the Permitted Use and Incidental Use Tables; 2) revisions to the approval/appeal authority for various planning case types; 3) procedural changes related to the processing of non-legislative cases; 4) revisions to the Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Code; 5) revisions to the Planned Residential Development Permit Code; and 6) Clarification of certain definitions, including, but not limited to, Schools, Banquet Halls and those relating to Wireless Telecommunications.
