DISK 54: AGENDA.001 , D'ATE: ' August 28, 1989 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Vicente L. Mas, Director SUBJECT: Zonin4 Ordinance Amendment Case No. 4 On-Premises Freestandin4 Signs (ZOA #4) PROPOSAL: The Staff is proposing to Amend Chapter 25, the official Zoning Ordinance with respect to on-premises freestanding signs, city wide. BACKGROUND• On March 14, the City Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Zoning and Sign Ordinance eliminating new construction of freestanding pole signs and the introduction of freestanding monument signs. On August 8, the Commission added language amending the development standards (distance between signs and maximum square footage) for off-premises freeway oriented signs. This proposal is to reinstate the ability to allow construction of some on-premises freestanding pole signs for properties that meet certain criteria associated with location and minimum lot size. ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: Since adoption of the original amendment removing on-premises freestanding signs in commercial and manufacturing districts, Stafi has observed, in some cases the need for greater sign exposure than the current ordinance allows. Total elimination of on-premises freestanding signs has proven to be detrimental to businesses located within certain distances of freeways. In order to resolve this problem, Staff proposes to amend the sign ordinance to allow pole sign construction under certain criteria. Approval would be based on location, lot size, distances between the proposed sign and other existing signs and distance from existing freeways, (see attached ordinance). ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The proposed amendment is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3), and the notice of determination has been placed on file in the Community Development Department, and the office of the City Clerk. RECOMMENDATZON Staff respectfully requests that, after consideration the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2292 1. Certifying that the project is exempt from the provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines, as amended by Section 15061 b(3). 2. Recommend that the City Council approve the findings in Resolution No. 2292 and waive the reading and introduce the proposed ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution No. 2292 2.
