AGENDA OF: NOVEMBER 15,1995 I Project Planners Anne Hysong Project Engiueer N/A SUBJECX ZCA 95-11 - TEMPORARY COMMUNITY DIRECTIONAL, SIGNS - A request for approval of a Zone Code Amendment Local Coastal Program Amendment to extend the temporary sign ordinance until June 1, 1996. I. RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission ADOPT Planning Commission Resolution No. 3839 RECOMMENDING APPROVAL of ZCA 95-11. II. INTRODUCTION The City’s Temporary Community Directional Sign Ordinance (Chapter 21.41.076(8)(f)) will expire on January 1,1996 “unless before that date the ordinance codified in this section is reviewed and extended by the City Council”. Consistent with this provision, the proposed zone code amendment will amend the ordinance by extending it for five months from January 1, 19% through June 1, 1996. III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND During staffs review of proposed revisions to the Temporary Directional Sign Ordinance involving new development and design standards for future kiosk structure designs and the possible expansion of the temporary directional sign program, consultation with the City Attorney’s office revealed legal issues requiring resolution prior to amending the ordinance. Rather than allowing the existing ordinance to sunset on January 1, 1996, staff is recommending that the ordinance be extended for five months to give staff the opportunity to ensure that the proposed ordinance will result in a more contemporary directional sign program which is consistent with State and Federal laws. Iv. ANALYSIS Staffs recommendation of approval for this zone code amendment is based upon the following analysis of the project’s consistency with the applicable General Plan policies and the intent of the City’s Temporary Community Directional Sign Grdinance. General Plan The proposed zone code amendment is consistent with the overall land use policies calling for the creation of a distinctive sense of place and identity for each community and ZCA 95-11 - COMM ,,TY DIRECTIONAL SIGN ORDIN, -ZE NOVEMBER 15,1995 PAGE 2 neighborhood, and the creation of a visual form that is pkasing to the eye and highly identifiable. The temporary directional sign program will identify and provide direction to new subdivisions and communities in a uniform and tasteful manner consistent with these policies. Section 21.41.076 - Temporary Community Directional Signs The proposed amendment to extend the Temporary Directional Sign Ordinance is consistent with the intent of the ordinance which is to provide directional information so that residents and visitors to the City can easily find public places, residential neighborhoods, or remote areas in an attractive and safe manner consistent with the City’s prohibition of off-site advertising signs or displays. In summary, the extension of the ordinance will enable more detailed staff review of the legal issues invohred in developing a more contemporary temporary directional sign program that is intended to encourage the use of directional signs over illegal advertising signs. Prior to the June 1, 19% expiration date, staff will return with documents to amend the Temporary Directional Sign Ordinance and the City’s Local Coastal Program to incorporate the ordinance into the Local CoastaI Program.
