DEPT. CA IN CAR COUNTRY SPECIFIC PLAN CITY MG s .
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
rhat the City Council introduce Ordinance No. /vs-3/5 approving specific Plan SP 19(G).
tTEM EXPLANATION
rhe City Council approved four items establishing the standards and )rocedures for signs contained in the Car Country specific plan. ipecifically, the Council approved:
L.
F . .
I.
1.
Consolidation and Reformattins specific plan siqn requlations. Car Country sign regulations are currently in multiple specific plan documents, making their use difficult. This amendment proposes to consolidate and reformat the regulations into one specific plan document.
Procedural Chanqes. These revisions propose that sign permits would be acted on first by the Planning Director (rather than first by the Planning Commission as now) with the ability for subsequent appeals to the Planning Commission and City Council. This would ensure expeditious review of individual signs, while appeals and amendments would still be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council. This procedure is consistent with sign permit review for the rest of the City.
Sisn Area Chanqes. An increase in the amount of signage available to a dealership site from 1.5 quare feet of sign per linear foot of building frontage to 2.0 square feet of sign per linear feet of building frontage is proposed by this modification.
The proposed new sign allocation of two square feet of signage per linear foot of frontage will provide dealers with more sign space to accommodate the special signage needs of multiple franchises.
Directional Siqns. Directional signs are signs which identify "Car Country" and direct customers to the various dealerships within the site. Regulations which would control sign appearance, size and safe placement of such signs were proposed.
'he Council approved in concept freeway oriented signs and directed ;taff to return at its meeting of June 27, 1995 with guidelines and standards for the location and size of such signage.
'ISCAL IMPACT
'here will be some administrative costs from processing sign permit applications. These costs will be offset by permit fees.
