I ITEM EXPLANATIOEJ On October 16, 1984 the City Council approved a Temporary Community Directional Sign Program for new subdivisions within the City. A COPY of the associated agenda bill and ordinance is attached. Section 21.41.076 (8) (f) of Title 21, originally specified that the Temporary Community Directional Sign Program "shall be effective until January 1990, unless before that date the ordinance codified in this section is reviewed and extended by the City Council". On January 2, 1990, the City Council approved ZCA 175(A), thereby extending the Temporary Community Directional Sign Program until January 1, 1995, unless before that date the ordinance is reviewed and extended by the City Council. In accordance with this provision, staff is recommending that Section 21.41.076 (8) (f) of Title 21 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code be amended to extend the Temporary Community Directional Sign Programuntil January 1, 1996. Prior to this date City Staff will be bringing forth to City Council an amendment to the Community Directional Sign Program as discussed below.

Located upon these kiosks are wooden plaques identifying the name of the major subdivisions with directional arrows pointing towards their locations. Overall, the Temporary Community Directional Sign Program has been an effectivemediumforprovidingoff-siteidentificationfor anddirections to major subdivisions within the City. The Temporary Community Directional Sign Program has also functioned to reduce the existence of illegal off-site subdivision signs within Carlsbad. SunCal Outdoor Advertising (the sign consultant under contractwiththe City to install and maintain the signs) has satisfactorily administered (i.e., construction,maintenance, repair, leasingof sign space andbilling) the Temporary Community Directional Sign Program. In order to ensure the continued success of the City's Temporary Community Directional Sign Program, staff will be undertaking an amendment to this ordinance to: ii; Update signage design criteria, and To permit additional uses to be advertised (i.e., special events, and city facilities).

I ITEMEXPLANATICN On January 17, 1984, the City Council directed the Land Use Planning Office to work with a citizen's axmnittee to develop an ordinance which would provide for sane form of off-site identification tir subdivisions. Staff and the carmittee (members list attached) met a rnxr&er of times and finished a draft ordinance on April 30. It was brought before the City Council as a workshop item in July. At that time, the City Council directed staff to schedule the proposed ordinance for a public hearing at the Planning Cannission. Theordinanceisdesigned tobe a aamwnity directional sign program rather than an off-site subdivision ordinance. The proposed ordinance weld provide for the establishnt of a nu&er of kiosks at major intersections throughout the city. Space on the kiosks weld be leased m developers to prrxide their name and a directional arrow pointing toward their subdivision. These directional signs mounted on the kiosks would be consistent in size and color. Under the props33 ordinance, the City Council could designate the responsibility for leasirq space on the kiosks to another agency or organization. The ordinance would also provide for the city ti use space on the kiosks for the city's directional needs. The draft ordinance was heard by the Planning Carmission on Septe&er 12, 1984. The Plan&g Cannission liked the ordinance and pxposed one &ange to the camnittee's reccarmendation. This cfiange would limit the ordinance ti one kiosk type instead of two, with a5 foot width. The Planning Carmission also approved the kiosk design and the kiosk location plan, both attached. When the City Council first looked at the draft ordinance in July, they voiced sane concerns regarding the size, the nurberof kiosk locations, and the provision permitting the city to delegate the leasing of kiosk space to arrother public or quasi-public agency. Sane of these issues have been resolved. As mentioned, the Planning Camnission limited siqn width to 5 feet and staff has removed some of the proposed kiosk locations and has redesignated others as possible future locations. -REVIEW A Negative Declaration was issued by the Land Use PlanningManager on August 20, 1984 and approved by the Planning Carmission 011 Septe@er 12, 1984. 4 Page2ofAgedaBill# V&17-*/ FISCALIMPACT Therewillbenofiscdlirrpactfrom~il~~atthistime.
