INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE APPROVING AN
AMENDMENT (ZCA 11-03(A)/LPCA 11-04(A)) TO THE
CITY'S SIGN ORDINANCE TO ACCEPT THE CALIFORNIA
COASTAL COMMISSION'S SUGGESTED
MODIFICATIONS
DEPT. DIRECTOR
CITYATTORNEY
CITY MANAGER
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
That the City Council introduce Ordinance No. CS-261 approving an amendment to the City's
Sign Ordinance (ZCA 11-03(A)), thereby accepting and administering the Coastal Commission's
suggested modifications to the City ofCarlsbad Local Coastal Program (LCPA 11-04(A)).
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On August 27,2013 the City Council approved a City-initiated Zone Code Amendment and Local Coastal
Program Amendment (ZCA 11-03/LCPA11-04) to repeal and reenact the city's Sign Ordinance (Chapter
21.41 ofthe Carlsbad Municipal Code) to: (1) incorporate revisions to address first amendment issues
associated with the permitted regulation of non-commercial signage, (2) provide more flexible sign
development standards, (3) allow electronic message board signs or digital displays at regional
commercial centers (Plaza Camino Real and Car Country Carlsbad) that are designated Regional
Commercial by the General Plan, are located within a Master or Specific Plan and have frontage on a
freeway (1-5 or SR 78) and (4) clarify the ordinance to make it more user friendly.
Since the Sign Ordinance is an implementing ordinance ofthe Carlsbad Local Coastal Program, approval
of the amendment required the review and approval of the California Coastal Commission before it
could become effective.
On June 12, 2014, the Coastal Commission certified the amendments conditioned upon the city making
changes, or "suggested modifications." This certification, and thus the amended Sign Ordinance, will
not become effective until (1) the City Council accepts and administers the suggested modifications
and (2) the city's approval ofthe modifications is reported to the Coastal Commission and confirmed
by its Executive Director.
The six (6) suggested modifications, shown in bold strike-out/underline format on Exhibit No. 2 and
summarized below, include one (1) Coastal Commission suggested modification and five (5) city staff
requested modifications
1. The one (1) Coastal Commission suggested modification adds a new provision to Section
21.41.050 - Application and Permit Procedures to clarify that non-exempt signage in the coastal
zone (which would include all freestanding signs but would not include wall signs) requires the

issuance of a minor coastal development permit in addition to a sign permit. The requirement
to process a minor (administrative) coastal development permit for freestanding signage in the
coastal zone has never been in the city's sign ordinance, but has always been required underthe
Coastal Act in that a freestanding sign is a "structure", which qualifies as "development in the
coastal zone." For a minor coastal development permit (Minor CDP) to be issued for a
freestanding sign in the coastal zone, findings are required to be made that the sign is consistent
with the applicable policies ofthe LCP including those associated with the protection of public
views and community character.
The city application fees for a sign permit and Minor CDP are $60 and $843 respectively.
However, to help ameliorate this potential increase in fee costs to an applicant for a
freestanding sign in the coastal zone, the city will amend its application requirements for project
coastal development permits (i.e.; for a residential or non-residential use) to require that any
freestanding signage that would normally be processed as a separate subsequent Minor CDP,
be included on the plans for the project development permit, therefore not requiring the
applicant to pay for and process a subsequent Minor CDP for the freestanding sign(s). The costs
to an applicant to apply exclusively for a Minor CDP for a freestanding sign in the coastal zone
will increase from, $60 to $903 ($60 -i- $843).
The five (5) city staff requested modifications include:
2/3. Correcting two ordinance provisions (located in Section 21.41 020 - Definitions and Section
21.41.090 - Coastal Zone Sign Standards) regarding the maximum permitted height of a "tall
freestanding sign" and "directory sign" in the coastal zone from 14' tall to 15' tall to be
consistent with Signage Policy 8.5 ofthe Mello II Local Coastal Program land use plan.
4. Revising the ordinance provisions (located in Section 21.41.070(A)) regarding the methodology
for computing sign area back to what existed in the Sign Ordinance prior to this proposed
amendment. Specifically, the existing Sign Ordinance reads that, "Sign area shall be computed
by measuring the smallest square, rectangle, triangle, circle or combination thereof, that will
encompass the extreme limits ofthe graphic image, writing, representation, emblem or other
display, together with any material or color forming an integral part ofthe backRround ofthe
message or display or otherwise used to differentiate the sign from the backdrop or structure
against which it is placed." As originally proposed, the underlined language shown above was
deleted from the existing Sign Ordinance, whereby sign area could be calculated based upon
the area of the sign image and text only, and not the borders, framing etc. For example,
monument signs are limited to a sign area of 60 square feet; in this scenario the 60 square feet
would be computed by measuring only the area of the sign image and text, and thus the total
sign size could be much larger. Given that through this Sign Ordinance Amendment, sign areas
for monument signs and many other signs have been increased, this originally recommended
Sign Ordinance revision is not necessary. Accordingly, staff, in concurrence with the California
Coastal Commission is recommending that the provision that clarifies that sign area be
computed to include borders, framing, background effects and coloring be reinserted back into
the Sign Ordinance.
Page 3
5/6. Deleting two ordinance provisions (located in Section 21.41.030 - Prohibited Signs and Section
21.45.095 - Permitted Permanent Signs) that would allow digital display signage at regional
commercial centers that are designated Regional Commercial bythe General Plan, are located
within a Master or Specific Plan and have frontage on a freeway (1-5 or SR 78), based upon the
City Council's decision to not allow digital display signage in the city after the city submitted its
Sign Ordinance LCP Amendment (LCPA 11-04) to the California Coastal Commission.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact to the city is negligible to implement the suggested modifications to the city's Sign
Ordinance.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
On August 27, 2013, the City Council adopted a Negative Declaration for ZCA 11-03 and LCPA 11-04
Sign Ordinance Amendment (Resolution No. 2013-214). The proposed modifications do not create any
new significant environmental effects that were not previously identified. No additional environmental
review is required.
