?ECOMMENDED ACTION:
If Council concurs both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the City
Council INTRODUCE Ordinance No. fi S - 2 S 3 , APPROVING ZCA 93-02.
lTIEM EXPLANATION
On May 5, 1993 the Planning Commission recommended approval (7-O) of a zone code
amendment (ZCA 93-02) to the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Title 21) to amend Sections
21.41.050 and 21.41.070, allowing the placement of additional off-site real estate signage.
Currently Section 21.41.070(4)(E) of the Carlsbad Municipal Code allows the placement of
only one off-site real estate sign for each property being offered for sale, lease, or exchange.
Recent amendments to the California Civil and Business and Professions Codes now expressly
allow more than one off-site real estate sign for each property being advertised. This zone
code amendment would bring the Municipal Code into conformance with the recent state
legislation. This zone code amendment does not change any of the City’s current restrictions
on size and location of the signs.
In recommending approval of this zone code amendment, both staff and the Planning
Commission found that the proposal was consistent with the goals and objectives of the Land Use and Circulation Elements of Carlsbad’s General Plan and the intent of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code with respect to real estate signage.
Since the proposed zone code amendment closely follows the recently approved zone code
amendment regarding off-site real estate signs (ZCA 92-02), the Planning Director has
determined the potential environmental impacts were already reviewed under the Negative
Declaration for ZCA 92-02, and therefore will issue a Notice of Prior Environmental Compliance.
FISCAL IMPACX
This zone code amendment requires no additional facilities or services and does not affect any
current revenue-generating programs. Therefore, there are no fiscal impacts due to this zone
code amendment.

placement of additional offsite real estate signs.

APPLICAI’ION COMPLETE DATE:
JANUARY 22. 1993
PROJECT PLANNER: MIKE GRIM t@
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3508,
recommending APPROVAL of ZCA 93-02, based on the findings detailed below.
Il. PROJECT D ESCIWTION AND BACKGROUND
On September 19,1992, the Governor of the State of California approved amendments to
Sections 712 and 713 of the California Civil Code and Section 5272 of the California
Business and Professions Code relating to offsite real estate signs. The recent amendments
preempt local jurisdiction and specifically allow more than one offsite real estate sign
advertising a particular property for sale, lease, or exchange. Previously, state law and the
Carlsbad Municipal Code were worded such that only one offsite real estate signs could be
allowed for any property for sale, lease, or exchange. This zone code amendment will
incorporate the recent state legislation into local ordinance.
Currently, Chapter 21.41 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Sign Ordinance) virtually
prohibits signage advertising merchandise or property for sale unless that signage is located
on the property where the sale will occur. The only exceptions to this offsite signage
prohibition are the City-wide kiosk program and the offsite real estate sign allowance. Both
of these exceptions have strict conditions on the posting of offsite signs.
This zone code amendment does not propose to alter any of the conditions, size
requirements, or location criteria of offsite real estate signs. The only action proposed by
this amendment is the allowance of more than one offsite real estate sign for each property
for sale, lease, or exchange. Since no revisions to the conditions or development standards
for offsite real estate signs is being proposed, and the allowance of additional signs is
mandated by state law, staff recommends approval of the proposed zone code amendment.

III. ANALYSIS
1. IS the proposed zone code amendment consistent with the various elements of the
Carlsbad General Plan?
2. Is the proposed zone code amendment consistent with the Local Coastal Program?
3. Is the proposed zone code amendment consistent with the recent legislation
amending Section 713 of the California
California Business and Professions Code?
Civil Code and Section 5272 of the
DISCUSSION
1. Consistencv with the General Plan
An objective of the Land Use Element of Carlsbad’s General Plan is to “preserve the
neighborhood atmosphere and identity in residential areas”. One of the guidelines of the
Land Use Element calls for developing and maintaining suitable and adequate sign control.
The proposed zone code amendment will allow a property owner to post more than one
offsite real estate sign, provided not more than one sign exists per lot. The size and
location criteria of the offsite real estate signs are not proposed to change, therefore this
amendment is consistent with the Land Use Element. With regard to public safety, the
Circulation Element states that adequate traffic safety measures should be provided at all
intersections. This zone code amendment does not allow any signs within the public right-
of-way and specifically prohibits any signs that cause public safety hazards. Therefore,
consistency with this safety provision of the Circulation Element and the policies of the
Public Safety Element are being maintained. Since the offsite signage would still fall under
restrictions of any applicable overlay zone, the proposed zone code amendment does not
conflict with the goals and objectives of the Scenic Highways Element.
2. Consistencv with the Local Coastal Program
Most of the six segments of Carlsbad’s Local Coastal Program require that signage control
be implemented to ensure that visual resources are protected and preserved. As stated
previously, the proposed zone code amendment does not change any of the size or location
restrictions of the existing offsite real estate signage regulations, which were found to be
consistent with the Local Coastal Program. This amendment, therefore maintains this
consistency.
3. Consistencv with Recent State Leaislation
The recent amendments to the California Civil Code and California Business and Professions
Code require that local jurisdictions allow the placement of more than one off-site real
ZCA 93-02 - OFFSITE k&U ESTATE SIGN AMENDMENT

PAGE 3
estate sign advertising a property. Currently the Carlsbad Municipal Code allows the
placement of only one offsite real estate sign. As demonstrated in Exhibit ‘X’, dated April
7,1993, the ordinance is proposed to be changed to allow more than one offsite real estate
sign, thereby providing consistency with recent State legislation. The recent amendments
to the California Codes did not alter a local jurisdiction’s ability to limit the size and
location of offsite real estate signs, therefore the existing controls remain consistent with
State law.
Iv. ENvIRoNMENTALREvIEw
Since the proposed zone code amendment closely follows the recently approved zone code
amendment regarding offsite real estate signs (ZCA 92-02), the Planning Director has
determined that the potential environmental impacts were already reviewed under the
Negative Declaration for ZCA 92-02, and therefore will issue a Notice of Prior
Environmental Compliance.
SUMMARY
Considering that the proposed zone code amendment is consistent with the General Plan,
Local Coastal Program, and recent State Legislation, staff recommends approval of ZCA 93-
02.

DISCUSSION
On advisement of the City Attorneys office, a provision in the proposed zone code
amendment has been eliminated. As shown in the excerpt from Exhibit “A” below, the
restriction allowing only one sign per lot has been deleted. Even though a property owner
or his/her agent could post more than one real estate sign on a lot, the total square
footage of the signs is still restricted. Therefore, on a single family residential lot, a person
could post one sign, three square feet in area, or three signs, each one square foot in area.
No changes to the total area of signage or other restrictions is proposed.

2. ZCA 93-02 - OFFSITE REAL ESTATE ‘SIGN AMENDMENT - Request for an amendment to
Chapter 21.41 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code, allowing the placement of additional offsite real
estate signs.
Michael Grim, Assistant Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that approximately
one and one-half years ago the State amended their legislation to preempt local ordinance which prohibits
a person from placing an off-site real estate sign advertising their property for sale or lease. The intent of
the legislation was to allow an open house sign at the corner of a prominent intersection in order to direct
traffic to the house being advertised. Staff amended Carlsbad’s code to reflect that change and used the
strictest interpretation of the law, i.e. that only one off-site sign would be allowed. The State recently
amended their legislation once again, and this time it expressly states that one sign is not enough.
However, neither of the State amendments changed our local authority to address the size of the signs,
placement location on the property, etc. This Zone Code Amendment is, therefore, very minor in nature
and only changes the singular to a plural, i.e. a person can place more than one off-site sign on different
properties advertising their property’ for sale or lease; however, the sum of any signs on the lot cannot
PLANNING COMMISSION May 5,1993 PAGE 3
exceed the square footage allowed for that lot. Mr. Grim stated that in the case of single family residential,
the maximum square footage for real estate signs is 3 s.f. A person could either have one sign equaling 3
sf. or three signs, 1 s.f. each. The proposed changes comply with all regulations and staff recommends
approval of ZCA 93-02.
Commissioner Welshons inquired if the ordinance specifies a time limit on how long the real estate signs
may stay up. Mr. Grim replied that no time limit is specified. It should be noted however, that the property
owner’s permission is required to post any and all signs.
Commissioner Savary inquired if an individual would be permitted to have more than one sign advertising
more than one house. Mr. Grim replied that this would be allowed, however the property is restricted to the
total square footage allowed. If desired, an owner could post three different 1 s.f. signs advertising three
different homes.
Commissioner Erwin advised Chairman Noble that he currently holds a California real estate broker’s
license and was told by the City Attorney that there would be no conflict of interest for him on this item as
long as he made it a matter of record.
Commissioner Schlehuber also disclosed that he holds a license as a real estate broker.
ACTION: Motion was made by Commissioner Schlehuber, and duly seconded, to adopt Planning
Commission Resolution No. 3508, recommending approval of ZCA 93-02, based on the
findings contained therein.

Eric Munoz, Associate Planner, revs round of the request and stated that the applicant is
requesting a CUP amendment for their across from Holiday Park on Eureka Place. The
original Girls Club CUP was issued in 1 mended four years ago to add more square footage.
This CUP amendment represents a two phased e buildout of the site. They are currently using
only the southern half of the lot for their use and a two phased buildout of the entire
1.13 acre site. Each phase complies with all dev s applicable to the underlying R-l zone
with regards to lot coverage, building height, and setbacks. I ases, the development standards
have been exceeded. This CUP amendment also involves f a new use (Head Start
Program) which would occupy 2,400 s.f. in a building to be I. The Head Start
Program would retain that same occupancy in Phase II. The main reason rovements is to
capitalize on an opportunity which the Girls Club has to take some money
modern structures which would allow more classroom and activity area. S
Commissioner Erwin inquired if staff had received any response from adjacent property
south or east of the project. Mr. Munoz replied that no public response had been receiv
project noticing or the noticed envirbnmental review.
