COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS VICE MAYOR WATERS said the City Attorney wasn't present when he asked if when people do not keep up the landscaping under Planned Development (such as gas stations and apartment complexes) there was a $500 fine; according to Mr. Gerschler, they have no way of backing this up; he was always of the opinion when these things come in for final adoption, the City Attorney in his own way determined what they were doing was legal and proper; he was led to believe that a lot of things in Planned Development would not hold up; right now, they should amend their ordinances on Conditional Use Permits; unless you have a public hearing, according to the law, you cannot uphold them if a person goes to court with them; he thought these things they should be advised of instead of having to dig it out themselves; he under- stood that Conditional Use Permits hold no water if a person takes them to court on it; in other words, because they hadn't held public hearings on them. Mr. Waters asked if the City Attorney could explain the $500 fine under Planned Development; for five years the Council and the Commission have been trying to upgrade the City and they have no grounds to stand on whatsoever because the ordinance hadn't been handled properly. City Attorney McLean said....the Zoning Ordinance...has had many changes, it has been modified, amended, remodified and reamended to the point...where it was totally unworkable;...a citizen could not ascertain what the zoning law of the City was; ...it has become so confusing, it is often difficult for the staff to ascertain where they stood on a certain item. The City Attorney continued they had been so advising the Council and Planning Commission for a long time; the Planning staff has developed a revised Zoning Ordinance, part of which related to zoning administration which provides for management of zone variances, etc.; Mr. Gerschler told him the ordinance was now ready to be circulated among the Council for comments and ultimately, for adoption. The City Attorney stated in regard to Conditoz.Use Permits they had to be treated on a one by one basis and you couldn'\t make a blanket statement about them. There was discussion. City Attorney McLean said he would give Mr. Waters a letter and cover it the best he could.. VICE MAYOR WATERS asked the City Attorney why gi resolution was not prepared supporting the Police and Fire Retirement Bill to show the ekuncil supported it. City Attorney McLean said they prepare the resolutions the City Manager puts on the agenda; he thought Mr. Osburn handfed that Council action by addressing a letter to the interested legislatorq. Assistant City Manager 5/23/72 195 Stenberg said this was his understanding also; he didn't have a copy of the letter nor did he have a date. Vice Mayor, Waters said he would like to have that answer or show him the letter sent out sometime this week. VICE MAYOR WATERS said last night the Planning Commission approved a family. theatre, called the "Twin Cinema", to be built on Harbison Avenue; the people have assured them it will be a very nice family theatre with top- notch movies to be shown.

HEARINGS The CONTINUED HEARING ON THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO ORDINANCE ND. 962, ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY, TO ADD PROVISIONS FOR THE REGULATION AND CONTROL OF SIGNS was held at this time. City Clerk Minogue stated the Planning Commission transmittal, the Planning Department Supplemental Report, and a communication from the California Electric Sign Association was attache to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said they transmitted to the Council the Planning Commission's recommendation for the adoption of a sign ordinance for National City; attached to the transmittal are the recommen- dations of the Chamber of Commerce Committee on Sign Regulations and other pertinent information; they have the slides which were used by the Planning Commission during the course of their public hearing; if the Council wished to have them reviewed, they could. GEORGE SHIDLER, member of the Planning Commission, 1115 E. 6th Street, was present and said he was not an emissary from nor spokesman for the Planning Commission; he was there as an individual member of the business community and a member of the Chamber of Commerce for 25 years; it was a matter of record that he was the lone dissenting voter on the ordinance they were considering tonight; businesses have an advertising program; they do various things to attract people to their business, so that whether they were large or small, they produce a payroll which in most cases was spent here in the City; it has become increasingly difficult to sucessfully operate a business...because of increasing rules, regulations, ordinances, laws from many levels of government; he was not against rules and regulations as they were needed; the proposed ordinance was in most respects appropriate and needed; however, he voted against it because the image business people try to project, and with signs (especially if you are in a retail type of business), you try to attract people to avail themselves of your services and products. RANDY OXENHAM, PUBLIC RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE FOR FOSTER & KLEISER, 407 Laurel Street, San Diego, was present and said: (1) the general public was not anti -billboard; (2) Foster & Kleiser run a legitimate and useful business for the community, Mr, Oxenham gave two booklets to the City Clerk: "And You Can Quote Me," (by Foster & Kleiser listing the top advertisers in California and why they appreciate the billboard industry) and "Public Service Letters " (letters compiled from people they work for) . Mr. Oxenham reported the results of a survey and the Oregon referendum of 1960. Mr. Oxenham gave a copy of State Highway Bill 636 to the City Clerk (California regulations on outdoor advertising) . JIM JEFFREY, PACIFIC OUTDOOR ADVERTISING, was present and said he was sure they had all invested in different ventures or properties and perhaps even now they have investments; perhaps some of them are 59 ,/72 198 commercial; when you invest in commercial property or structures or a venture you don't invest for the purpose of amortization; the normal motive was profit; their companies were made up of individuals, individuals who have their own hard-earned money invested; they have come into this commun- ity and into others, they have researched the laws, and according to your laws, laws that were -passed by past representatives, they have invested their money; they have designed and built structures with building permits according to the City's specifications and with the City's inspectors' approval; they have invested with the idea of making a profit, there are very few of these structures left; perhaps the handwriting was on the wall; gradually by development of properties and changing conditions in industrial or commercial areas, these are falling by the wayside; they are being taken down because of development of property and changing times and conditions; they feel that since they were built legally and according to the City's laws and with the motive of investing for profit, it was inequitable to require their removal arbitrarily and based on an amortization schedule which the Council was going to perhaps determine; they felt that because there are very few left, they should be allowed to remain and they will eventually disappear; the number is decreasing by quite a bit every year. JOHN McDONALD, United States Navy, Coronado, was present and said he would appreciate seeing the slides on this ordinance. MICHAEL DALLA, 1232 Manchester, was present and said he was not going to take them to task for the entire ordinance; he would like to direct himself to "Letter g", per- taining to political signs; he was not going to try to convince them to eliminate them completely, in reading over the ordinance he found nothing pertaining to political signs which specified fines. There was discussion. FRANK LOWERY, PRESIDENT, CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, was present and said the Chamber committee was interested in controlling where they were to be and that they were taken down on time; this had been a problem in the past; they were left up indefinitely; he didn't believe the size of signs was pertinent at this point nor had it been a problem in the past. There was further discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, the ordinance be amended, this Section "f", to allow the flashing signs but restrict the size of bulbs to 60 watts maximum and that they flash not more than 60 times per minute. There was further discussion. Frank Lowery said businessmen weren't present, as the proposed ordinance did not affect existing signs. Planning Director Gerschler said with the exception of the billboard abatement, there was no abatement clause affecting any of these regulations until the property changes hands or the property was vacated; the 5-year abatement applies only to billboards. There was discussion. Planning Director Gerschler outlined the Supplemental Report of May 18, in response to a letter they received from the California Electric Sign Association making a recommendation for a basic modification in the ordinance; the first of the recommendations regard the repair of signs and require that broken faces and burned out lamps will be replaced within 30 days within the date of notification by the City; the second would allow changeable copy signs that are a functional part of the sign; the third prohibits temporary signs except as otherwise permitted by the Code; the fourth is the recommendation Mr. Waters referred to regarding flashing signs; in his opinion, these four recommendations of the California Electric Sign Association were in keeping with what the Chamber of Commerce Committee recommended; he believed they were in keeping with what the Planning Commission talked about with the one exception, possibly, of the severity of regulating flashing signs; he was suggesting they include all four of the recommendations outlined in his Supplemental Memo of May 18. There was further discussion. Vice Mayor Reid asked Councilman Waters if he wanted to leave his motion as it stood. Councilman Waters said he would, Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Morgan. Moved by Waters, seconded by Pinson, Item 4 be eliminated that requi res a $50 depositor $50 bond. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Morgan. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Waters, thiq hearing be closed and this be referred to the proper authorities for processing. Carried by unanimous vote. Absent: Morgan. REFERRALS The Council considered the request of M. T. MIRANDA to move a building 5/23/72 199 from 108 Gilbert Street to the rear of 1326 Lanoitan. Planning Director Gerschler said the Planning Commission met last night to consider this R-4-PD Planned Development permit; they had before them the various staff reports, including a rather important staff report by the Building Inspector; they had the staff recommendation for denial of the case based on the non - compatibility of this structure with the surrounding neighborhood based upon the plans submitted (and he wanted to underline that); if the plans submitted showed the architectural improvement of this structure, they could have taken a different attitude, but all they had in the way of plans was a picture of the buildings as they now exist without any architectural improve. ment; on the basis of those factors the Planning Commission recommends to the council that the application be denied. M. T. MIRANDA, 1326 Lanoitan, was present and said he bought the building. There was discussion. Council- man Camacho asked Mr. Miranda if he went to see the gentleman he bought the house from. Mr. Miranda said he called him and he said he was looking for a new customer to sell the house. Councilman Camacho asked if there was a possibility he might get out from under this. Vice Mayor Reid asked Mr. Miranda if he was paying $25 a day now for every day the building sets down there. Mr. Miranda said they gave him a little extension; he thought it was two weeks. Councilman Camacho advised Mr. Miranda to see if they will take that house back; he sincerely thought he would be better off. Councilman Camacho told Mr. Miranda to stay after the sleeting and they will advise him on what to do. There was discussion. Moved by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the item on Mr. Miranda moving a building from 108 Gilbert St. to 1326 Lanoitan be laid over to the next meeting. �..r�w.r+ra - Carried by unanimous vote.

Moved by Pinson, seconded by Reid, the City give Mr. Holder $1,500 and let him do his own building. RAY HOLDER, NATIONAL CITY ELECTRIC, was present and said when he put his building in this spot he had to put the driveway in and the sidewalk which cost him $1,400 and they were going to give him $1,500; they have agreed to give him $100 to sign the papers to release the right to his right of way; he thought that was just a little bit off. There was discussion. (City Attorney McLean returned to the Council Chambers at 9:15 p.m.) Vice Mayor Reid asked Mr. Holder to meet with the City Engineer and come back next week.
