The•attached ordinance revisions correct the error and reinstates language to make such signage illegaL Other amendments to Section 3.114 provide clarity in the ordinance, and thus to enforcement staff, regarding placement of signs in the public right-of-way. These changes more clearly define the visibility triangle and the parking strip. 3) Next Steps In June, the City Council sent back to the Architectural Review Committee and the Planning Commission, two issues for reconsideration. They were asked to: a) review the proposed Freeway Overlay Zone for possible expansion to the length of Hwy 101 within the City limits, and b) develop alternative language for exceptions to Prohibited Signs, particularly animated signs. The Architectural Review Committee has completed their work. The Planning Commission will take up the issue, pending a property owners request to meet with the City Attomey. (The property owner has delayed this meeting, and it is currently scheduled for December 9, 1999). Once the Planning Commission considers the issues, recommendations will be brought back to the City Council as a separate item after the first of the year. - Additional amendments may also be necessary to assist enforcement of the City Council intent regarding the sign ordinance. These would also be brought back to the City Council after the first of the year. Alternative Do not adopt these amendments at this time and wait for the comprehensive revision in _ January. This alternative would delay effective implementation of the ordinance. Fiscal Impact The fiscal impact of approving these amendments is related to staff time in Code Enforcement to implement the sign ordinance. There is no additional cost to the City.
