RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If Council concurs, both the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the City
Council ADOPT Resolution No. 9 4 -218 , APPROVING the Negative Declaration issued by the
Planning Director; and INTRODUCE Ordinance No. j,/ S - A8 3 , APPROVING ZCA 92-08.
I
ITEM EXPLANATION
On February 2, 1994 the Planning Commission recommended approval (7-O) of a zone code
amendment (ZCA 92-08) to the Carlsbad Municipal Code (Title 21) to amend Sections 21.41.110
through 21.41.160, differentiating between “temporary campaign signs” and other signs allowed
and regulated by the City’s Sign Ordinance.
Currently Section 21.41 .llO of the Carlsbad Municipal Code states that campaign signs are exempt
from the general regulations of the Sign Ordinance and subject to special regulations, as contained
in Sections 21.41.110 through 21.41.160. The original intent of the campaign sign ordinance was
to encourage participation by the electorate in political activity during the period of political
campaigns.
The City Attorney has concluded that the 30 day limitation on all political signs is
unconstitutional and must be modified. These proposed changes to the existing ordinance would
make these modification so that it is constitutionally enforceable. These changes would clarify
that any sign, whether or not political in nature, and conforming to the general regulations of the
sign ordinance, could be posted throughout the year. In addition, these changes would allow an
additional opportunity for political expression during the campaign period. Accordingly,
temporary campaign signs may be posted no sooner than 30 days prior to an election and removed
10 days afterwards. Such a limited posting time would not be viewed as an unconstitutional
infringement of freedom of speech since it enlarges rather than diminishes the level of political
expression. This zone code amendment does not propose any other changes in the size, design
or location standards or processing requirements for either temporary campaign signs or other
signs.
Remedies for violations of the provisions permitting temporary campaign signs have been
enhanced. Any person violating these provisions of the ordinance may be convicted of a
misdemeanor and fined up to $1,000 or up to six months in jail or both.
In recommending approval of this zone code amendment, both staff and the Planning Commission
found that the proposal was consistent with the General Plan and the intent of the Carlsbad
Municipal Code with respect to campaign signage.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
Upon review of the proposed zone code amendment, the Planning Director determined that no
significant adverse environmental impacts shall occur as a result of the amendment and, therefore,
issued a Negative Declaration on December 30, 1993.
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. !

33. Does the project have the potential
to substancial.ly degrade the quality of. the environment, subskially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild-
life species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self-sustaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal conununity, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate impomnt examples of the major periods

environment is one which occura in a, relatively brief, defkitive period of ’ time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.)
3s. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in-
dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? (“Cumulatively con- siderable” means that the kranental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connmion with the effects of past projects, the effects of other cunent projcca, and the effects of probable future projects.)

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMEN’?AL WqLUATtON
. A Negative Deciatation for &I amendment to the Zoning Ordinance regarding campaign signs was issued on November 19, 1992. Review of this zone Code Amendment has continued and the wording
has substantially changed. Therefore, it has been determined that the project definition has
substantially changed and additional environmental review is warranted.
This revised Zone Code Amendment will not remove the time limit on posting campaign signs. [t will,
however, add wording that more clearly separates signs incended for the campaigning of a ballot issue
and other signs of general political expression, not tied to an election. The net impact is the potential
allowance of political signs throughout the year, provided they do not directly apply to an election.
The net environmental result is still the same. This amendment is still purely administrative and the
environmental analysis is vimtally the same as the previous Negative Declaration for ZCA 92-08.

This amendment is purely administrative and does not approve or condone any earth work.
Since this Zone Code Amendment is not project specific and does not involve development of any
kind, no impacts to air quality, climatological indices, or water flows or sources will result.
This solely adminiscracive amendment will have no affects on any natural resources or energy
reserves.
AS this amendment co the got&g Ordinance does not include or allow any site-specific
development, no impacts to historical, archeological, paleontological sites will result, nor will there
be any affect on flora or fauna in the City.
This Zone Code Amendment does not propose any changes in land use of an area nor does it
change the amount of signage allowed on any particular property.
Since no development is proposed with this amendment, there will be no affect on any public

ZCA 9248 CAMPAIGN SI s GNS - Request for approval of a Negative Declaration and an amendment to Chapter 21.41 of the Carl&ad Municipal Code, difkrentiating between temporary campaigns signs and other signs.
That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3615,
recommending APPROVAL, of the Negative Declaration issued by the Planning Director and ADOpT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3500, recommending APPROVAL of ZCA 92- 08, based on the findings contained therein i
II. PROJECTDESCMPTIONAND BACKGROUND
The amendment to the Zoning Ordinance addressing the timing of the placement of campaign signs was heard by the Planning Co mmission on March 3, and April 7, 1993. At that time, the item was continued indefinitely to allow additional rexarch into the best way to resolve the concerns of all parties. This revised zone code amendment now adequately addresses these concerns through a clarkation of definitions.
This amendment proposes to clearly di&rentiate betwtcn a “temporary campaign w,
used for promotion of a candidate or ballot item in an upcoming election, and other signs allowed and regulated by the Citys Sign ordinance. Currently, Section 21.41 .llO of the Carl&ad Municipsl Code states that campaign signs are exempt from the general regulations of the Sign Ordinance and subject to special regulations, as contained in Sections 21.41.110 through 21.41.160.
While the original intent.of the ordinance was to encourage participation by the electorate in political activity during the! period of political campaigns, Section 21.41.110 of the
ordinance does not clearly state this intent. Under the current code, it is possible to interpret the campaign sign restrictions as applicable to any sign containing a political message. If this were the case, all political signs, regardkss of location and specific content, could only be posted within 30 days prior to an election and must be removed 10

days afterwards. The limited posting time could be viewed as an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. Therefore, this zone code amendment would clarify that temporary campaign signs are an additional opportunity for political expression, allowed only during political campaigns. By delineating between temporary campaign signs and other signs, political expression is not limited to the period of elections, provided that the sign(s) meet the general regulations of the Sign Ordinance.
This zone code amendment does not propose to change any of the location criteria or processing requirements for either temporary campaign signs or other signs. The existing time restriction on temporary campaign signs will only apply to temporary campaign signs. Since the time restrictions will not apply to other signs on private property, no infringement on the freedom of speech will exist and, therefore, staff is recommending approval of the amendment.
IIL s
1. Is the proposed zone code amendment’consistent with the various elements of the
Garlsbad General Plan? ;
2. Is the proposed zone code amendment consistent with the intent of Sections 21.41.110 through 21.41.160 of the Sign Ordinance?
1. Q&stencv with the General Pla
One of the general guidelines of the Land Use Element of the General Plan calls for developing and maintaining suitable and adequate sign control. The proposed zone code amendment will not a&t the existing signage controls, since it merely clarifies the difference between temporary campaign signs and other signs. This amendment therefore does not a&t the consistency with the guideline of maintaining adequate sign control. With regard to public safety, the circulation Element states that adequate traffk safety measures should be provided at all intersections. This zone code amendment does not propose to change any of the existing location criteria for campaign signs, as stated in Sections 21.41.130 and 21.41.140 of the Garlsbad Municipal code.. Therefore, consistency with this safety provision of the Circulation Element is being maintained.
2. Consistency with the Int ent . . of the Srgn Ordmancc
Sections 21.41.110 through 21.41.160 of the Garlsbad ‘Municipal code describe the restrictions and regulations regarding the posting of campaign signs. As previously d.kcus& the proposed amendment would not alter any of the regulations. No other sections are proposed to be amended and no other sections are dependent upon this

dehition clarifkation. The proposed zone code amendment is therefore internally consistent with the various sections of the Sign Ordinance that address campaign signs.
FJMRONIbfENTALREVtEW
Since the project defhition has substantially changed since the previous environmental
review, subsequent environmental analysis was conducted. Based upon this analysis, the
Planning Director has determined that no sign&ant adverse environmental impacts will result because of this zone code amendment and, therefore, has issued a Negative Declaration on December 30, 1993.
Considering that the proposed zone code amendment is consistent with the various
elements of the CiQh General Plan as well as the intent of the City’s Sign Ordinance with regard to campaign signs, staff recommends approval of ZCA 92-00.

amendment to Chapter 21.41 of the Cart&ad Municipal Code, differentiating between temporary
campaign signs and other signs.
Michael Grim, Assistant Planner, reviewed the background of the request and stated that an amendment to
the zoning ordinance regarding the timing and placement of campaign signs was first addressed in March
1993. The item was continued indefinitely to allow additional research into the best way to resolve the
concerns of all parties. Staff believes that this revised Zone Code Amendment now adequately addresses
these concerns through a clarification of definitions. In effect, the amendment differentiates between
temporary campaign signs and other signs, since the limited posiing period of certain signs could be
viewed as .an unconstitutional infringement on free speech. Staff recommends approval.

There being no persons desiring to address the Commission on this topic, Chairman Savary declared the
