TITLE: REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION DEPT. HD.~
CITY AllY w SIGN ORDINANCE
I DEPT. PLN ~CIWMGR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council direct staff to prepare an amendment to the
subdivision sign ordinance permitting the Planning Director to amend the kiosk location plan.
ITEM EXPLANATION
In 1984, the City Council approved an amendment to the sign ordinance that provided for a number of wooden kiosk signs to be
located on major arterials. Space on the kiosks is leased to developers to provide direction to their subdivisions. As part of that ordinance, a kiosk location plan (attached) was approved
by Council pursuant to Section 21.41.076(c) (1) (attached) of the subdivision sign ordinance. Currently, Council has to approve any amendment to the kiosk location plan.
Section 21.41.076(c) (1) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that all kiosk locations be approved by the City Council. The private contractor responsible for the physical placement and maintenance of the temporary community directional signs would like to alter a number of existing locations and he requested (letter attached) that such locations be approved at the
discretion of the Planning Director to allow an expedited response to locational demands.
Staff does not anticipate a great number of changes to the plan and feels that it may save some Council and staff time if this function is delegated to the Planning Director. If the City Council concurs then staff should be directed to prepare an
amendment to the subdivision sign ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Environmental review will occur if the City Council directs
staff to prepare a zone code amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT
No direct fiscal impact. Some staff time will be utilized in preparing a zone code amendment.
