Sign Ordinance.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None.
DESCRIPTION:
The City' s existing Sign Ordinance allows one Freestanding Sign per
parcel and specifically prohibits granting a Variance from this requirement.
On November 24, 1986, the City Council reviewed PA 86-081 Howard Johnson
Sign Variance Appeal. The City Council continued the item for two months,
directing Staff and the Planning Commission to consider a Zoning Ordinance
Amendment that would provide for two Freestanding Signs on larger parcels
which have two or more frontages..
During the past six months, since adoption of the City's revised Sign
Ordinance, Staff identified several areas requiring clarification. Iri
conjunction with Council's direction, Staff proposes the following amendments
intended to clarify those provisions of the Sign Ordinance.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEM NO. &Z COPIES TO: PA File 86-129
1) Definitions
A) Identification Signs - This definition is amended to include
multi-family residential uses and exclude Bulletin Boards as a
type of Identification Sign. The Sign Ordinance does not .
currently include a sign category for multi-family residential
uses. In practice, Staff has considered Apartment Building-Signs
under this classification. A provision for Bulletin Boards is
already included under Permitted Signs. s
B) Low Profile Signs - This definition has been modified, by
eliminating reference- to the minimum and maximum number of tenants
identified on the sign. This modification is to facilitate
consistency with Section 8-87.35, Alternate Types of Freestanding
Signs, regulating Low Profile Signs. -
C) _ Shopping Center Master Identification Signs - The minimum number
of tenants has been reduced from 20 to 10 to include large
neighborhood commercial shopping centers.
D) Special Easement Sign - This definition has been revised to
reflect the intent of the Special Easement Sign provision, use of
which is limited to those parcels which do not have direct .Access
or frontage on an improved public right-of-way.
E) Time/Temperature Signs - "Electronic Readerboard", "Business
Bulletin Board", and other changeable Copy Signs on which the copy
is manually or electrically changed, has been included under the
definition of Time/Temperature Signs, in order to clarify that
Readerboards and Business Bulletin Boards are included in this
sign category.
2) C-N District Signs Permitted with a Site Development Review - Shopping
Center Master Identification Signs have been included to provide .a
signage category for identification of large shopping centers in the C-N
District. The Ordinance currently makes provision for Wall and
Projecting Signs; however, it does not make provision for Freestanding
Signs.
3) Freestanding Signs - In compliance with the City Council's direction,
the draft Ordinance proposes to amend the Sign Ordinance limiting the
number of permitted Freestanding Signs to one per parcel, except for
parcels four acres or greater located adjacent to I-580 or I-680. The
minimum four acre parcel size is consistent with the Council's direction
to ;limit the provision to large parcels, and is consistent with the
existing Ordinance provisions increasing the maximum sign height on
parcels of four acres or greater (subject to approval of a Conditional
Use Permit) . This amendment would apply to 13 parcels within the City
limits (see Attachment 2 for list and map) .
Additionally, Staff proposes reformatting this Section of the Ordinance
to enhance its readabilty. Subsections have been included to easily
identify the permitted location, height and sign area of Freestanding
Signs.
4) Permitted Signs - Staff proposes amending the provisions relating to
Service Station Price Signs to clarify that a Service Station is
permitted to have one (1) Price Sign along each street frontage, to a
maximum of two (2) Price Signs. Each Price Sign may have a maximum
single-faced area of sixteen (16) square feet or a double-faced area of
thirty-two (32) square feet. n
5) Signs Requiring Conditional Use Permits - The sections addressing
Time/Temperature Signs and Special Easement Signs have been amended to
reflect the proposed changes discussed in the Definitions Section.
In. addition, as directed, al provision for allowing two Freestanding
Signs per parcel is included, provided the parcel is a minimum of four
acres adjacent to I-580 or I-680, and provided the signs are located on
separate frontages. -
-2-
6) Signs Requiring Administrative Conditional Use Permits - The provision
for Identification Signs is modified to include multi-family residential
uses, as indicated in the Definitions Section, and to exclude this type
of signage for single-family residential uses. The provision for
Temporary Off-Site Sale or Lease Signs is modified to reflect the amend-
ment limiting the use of this .-sign to parcels without direct access on a
public right-of-way, as discussed in the Definitions Section.
7) Renumbering - Staff recommends renumbering the Sections "Signs Requiring
Conditional Use Permits" and 'Signs Requiring Administrative Conditional
Use Permits", to have them follow the sections on Prohibited and
Permitted Signs. This renumbering allows for a more logical sequence of
the Ordinance's provisions.
At the December 15, 1986, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission
considered the proposed Sign Ordinance Amendment (see Exhibit A) and modified
the Ordinance (see Exhibit B) deleting the amendment to allow two Freestanding
Signs for large parcels adjacent to -I-580 and I-680. It was the consensus of
the Commission that:
1) The proposed Lodging Signs located on the street were adequate signage.
_ 2) They didn't want a proliferation of signs.
3) There should not be a row of signs visible from the freeway.
4) The Ordinance provisions for Wall Signage and one Freestanding Sign per
parcel is adequate.
If the City Council decides to provide for two Freestanding Signs on
large parcels adjacent to the freeway, Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt the Resolution (Exhibit C) adopting the Negative Declaration; and
2) Waive the reading and adopt the Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance
regarding Signs (Exhibit A - includes provision for two Freestanding
Signs) .
Should the City Council decide to follow the Planning Commission recom-
mendation and delete the provision for two Freestanding Signs, the City
Council should:
1) Adopt the Resolution (Exhibit C) adopting the Negative=Declaration; and
2) Waive the reading and adopt the Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance
regarding Signs (Exhibit B - provision for two Freestanding Signs
deleted) .
