11. PUBLIC HEARINGS - <br /> <br /> A. Appeal of a sign permit denial by the Architectural Review Committee (ARC) <br /> for an exception (per Section 3.79 (c) of the Redwood City Sign Ordinance) <br /> to permanently keep a nonconforming freestanding sign at 1630 Broadway <br /> (Redwood General Tire Company); <br /> <br /> City Manager Everett stated that the appellant had stated he was not interested in <br /> attending the hearing. <br /> <br /> Principal Planner Jany explained that the current sign ordinance regulates the <br /> maximum height of the freestanding sign and this sign exceeds that regulation by <br /> approximately ten (10) feet. Nonconforming signs are required to be amortized <br /> over a period of seven years. Redwood General Tire Company applied for an <br /> exception to the sign ordinance to keep the existing 26-foot tall sign beyond June <br /> of 2006. Mr. Jany stated the Architectural Review Committee was unable to make <br /> findings to allow the sign to be kept and felt that keeping the sign would cause a <br /> serious precedent for the City. <br /> <br /> Mayor Claire opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. <br /> <br /> MIS Howard/Ira to close the public hearing. The motion passed by a unanimous <br /> voice vote. <br /> <br /> MIS Ruskin/Pierce to uphold the decision of the ARC to amortize an existing 2§- <br /> foot tall freestanding sign over a 7-year period (meaning the sign would have to be <br /> removed by June, 2006); <br /> <br />CONVENE TO THE JOINT MEETING OF THE GENERAL IMPROVEMENT <br />DISTRICT BOARD AND COUNCIL <br /> <br /> B. CID 1-64 Development Agreement Temporary Extension; <br /> (Item continued - Public Hearing open/closed on 5120102) <br /> <br /> Senior Civil Engineer Chang stated that in general, conceptually, the attorney <br /> representing the Redwood Shores property agreed with the need to extend the <br /> agreement. However, due to the technical difficulty in contacting those involved in <br /> Japan to complete the paperwork by the expiration date of June 23, 2002, the <br /> proposal is for a 60-day temporary extension in order to preserve the current <br /> development agreement. After completion of all the necessary documents, this <br /> item will be brought back for consideration of the formal 3-year extension. <br /> <br /> Mayor Claire opened the public hearing. There was no public comment. <br /> <br /> MIS Jordan/Ruskin to: <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL & GENERAL IMPROVEMENT June 3, 2002 <br />DISTRICT BOARD - MINUTES PAGE 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
