COPIES TO: Applicant/Owner File PA 86-040 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS: Section 8-60.60 (Temporary Uses. Administrative Conditional Uses) provides that in any district, minor temporary uses of a duration of sixty days or less which have negligible or no permanent effects on the environment shall be permited only if an Administrative Conditional Use Permit is approved. Newly adopted Section 8-87.66 (Signs Requiring Conditional Use Permits) provides in part an adjustment to the administration of Section 8-60.60 by requiring the application of a Conditional Use Permit for use of banners, pennants, flags, balloons, searchlights and similar advertising devices when used for special promotional events for periods that cumulatively do not exceed a maximum of sixty days annually (any twelve-month period) and, on an individual promotional event basis, do not exceed fourteen consecutive days of display. Section 8-94.0 states that conditional uses must be analyzed to determine: 1) whether or not the use is required by the public need; 2) whether or not the use will be properly related to other land uses, transportation and service facilities in the vicinity; 3) whether or not the use will materially affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity; and 4) whether or not the use will be contrary to the specific intent clauses or performance standards established for the district in which it is located. Section 8-94.4 states that the approval of a Conditional Use Permit may be valid only for a specified term, and may be made contingent upon the acceptance and observation of specified conditions, including but not limited to the following matters: a) Limitations on time of day for the conduct of specified activities. b) Time period within which the approval shall be exercised and the proposed use brought into existence, failing which, the approval shall lapse and be void. c) Compliance with requirements of other departments of the City/County Government. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Categorically Exempt NOTIFICATION: Public Notice of the May 19, 1986, hearing was published in The Herald, mailed to adjacent property owners, and posted in public buildings. ANALYSIS: The City's recently amended Sign Regulations, which become effective on June 11, 1986, serve in part to formalize the Conditional Use Permit(CUP) and Administrative Conditional Use Permit (ACUP) processes utilized to consider requests for use of temporary promotional advertising displays. While the current zoning regulations would allow a sixty-day temporary use to be processed under an ACUP (see Applicable Regulations Section above), wind signs such as flags, banners, and pennants which move by wind pressure would not be permitted. The newly adopted Sign Regulations adjust the administration of those provisions of the Ordinance as it relates to advertising display by requiring CUPs to be processed for temporary promotional advertising displays proposed for use of between fifteen and sixty cumulative days within a twelve-month period. The newly adopted Sign Regulations formalize an ACUP process for consideration of requests for the use of fourteen days (cumulative total) of temporary promotional advertising displays in a twelve-month period. That approval can be secured in addition to an approval for the use of sixty days (cumulative total) of temporary promotional advertising display under the CUP process. -2- The Applicant processed an ACUP for use of temporary promotional advertising displays for the three-day period running from April 11 to April 14 under PA 86-029 (approved the use of a roof-mounted, cold-air balloon). A subsequent permit (PA 86-039) was also secured for use of temporary promotional advertising displays for three three-day events during the period from May 3 to June 1 (which allowed unrestricted use of a roof-mounted, cold- air balloon). Staff suggests that the twelve-month approval period utilized for this sixty- day CUP permit request be tied to the time frame initiated by the approval of the first of the recent ACUP requests (i.e., making the twelve-month time frame of the CUP run from April 11, 1986, to April 10, 1987). This will facilitate the administration of the ACUPs and the CUPs that may subsequently be filed over the subject property by coordinating the starting/ending dates for both types of permits. Assuming an April 11, 1986, starting date for the twelve-month period of possible promotional dates under ACUP permits, a total of six ACUP dates remain available for the referenced twelve-month time frame (after the dates authorized under the two recent ACUP permits are utilized). The formalization of the sixty-day CUP process was provided in part to simplify the permit process and to maximize the business owner's flexibility on scheduling his or her promotional events. There are two unresolved issues that Staff feels must be settled with this Permit, which is the first of its type to be processed by the City. The first issue is a determination of the maximum number of dates that the signs which are considered to be potentially more obtrusive can be utilized over a twelve-month period (i.e., displays using searchlights, roof-mounted cold-air balloons, etc.). The second issue involves the need to establish a means to monitor the cumulative dates that different types of advertising displays are used over the course of a twelve-month period. In regards to the first concern, Staff suggests that the following standards be considered by the Planning Commission: Use of Searchlights - Restrict use to a maximum of twelve days in a twelve-month period, with no more than three consecutive days of use to be allowed. Use of Roof-Mounted, or Ground-Mounted, Cold-Air Balloons or Use of Flown Helium of Gaseous Balloons - Restrict use to a maximum of twenty- four days in a twelve-month period, with no more than three consecutive days of use to be allowed. This standard takes into account that there are 200+ retail stores in Dublin, each of which could ask for a permit to use searchlights and balloons. In regards to the second area of concern, monitoring of dates of display use, the Applicant has previously requested (in conjunction with PA 86-039) that monitoring be done on an end-of-the-month basis. While this may make the process more streamlined from the Applicant's point of view, it is felt by Staff that some manner of pre-notification must be built into the date- monitoring system. Staff recommends that a standardized notification form be developed and utilized (see Background Attachment #1) and that the Applicant be required to provide Staff a minimum four-day pre-notification of promotional events, indicating the types of displays to be utilized, and the length of their respective use. As a side issue, it should be noted that the Applicant has requested that this permit approval include authorization for use of tents as one type of allowed temporary promotional advertising display. Staff considers tents to be in a separate category from the remaining types of temporary promotional advertis- ing displays. The difference seen by Staff is that tents may, dependent on their size and location, alter the on-site circulation pattern and/or parking layout, and thereby would seem to need a separate, more detailed review by Staff. Therefore, Staff recommends that this CUP approval not include authorization of the use of tents. Staff recommends that proposals to temporarily use tents, with or without other temporary promotional advertising displays, be subject to a separate ACUP or CUP application. -3- RECOMMENDATION: FORMAT: 1) Open public hearing and hear Staff presentation. 2) Take testimony from Applicant and the public. 3) Question Staff, Applicant and the public. 4) Close public hearing and deliberate. 5) Adopt Resolution regarding the Conditional Use Permit. ACTION: Staff recommends the Planning Commission Adopt Exhibit A approving Conditional Use Permit Application PA 86-040.
