HEARING
The HEARING ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL
CITY, CALIFORNIA (ORDINANCE NO. 962) TO ADD SPECIFIC PROVISIONS ALLOWING ON -
PREMISE DIRECTORY AIND IDENTIFICATION SIGNS FOR CHURCH USES IN THE R-2 AND
R-4 ZONES was held at this time. Deputy City Clerk Fasig said the Certifi-
cate of Publication was received and on file and the Planning Commission
recommendation was attached to the agenda. Planning Director Gerschler said
a recent request by the United Church of Christ at 2002 Granger Avenue for
the construction of a sign on their premises revealed that the Zoning Code
does not allow such signs in that zone; they also found that the R-4 Zone
(where churches are sometimes found) does not allow identification signs as
customary for churches; they asked the Planning Commission to initiate an
amendment to the Zoning Code; if approved this would allow identification
signs for churches in the R-2 and R-4 Zones. Vice Mayor Waters inquired
how large the signs would be. Planning Director Gerschler replied 20 sq.
ft. in area and 61 in height. Vice Mayor Waters asked if they needed a sign
that large. Planning Director Gerschler replied often they combine both
their directory sign and their name sign with the directory sign being the
announcement of their services and other programs. Councilman Reid inquired
if that was on their own property. Planning Director Gerschler replied it
was only on their own property. Fred Cook, 3854 Birch Street, San Diego,
was present and said the church for which they desire a sign was located at
2002 Granger; the sign they would like to have permission to put up will be
on the building; it won't be a signboard made in a sign shop; they would
like to print the name of the church on the back of the building in 21 letter;
and 401 across. City Attorney McLean said that would not be allowed under
this ordinance. Planning Director Gerschler said this proposal would not
allow a sign of 80 sq. ft. in area; this would limit the sign to 20 sq. ft.
in area. Mr. Cook said this sign would be printed on the building. Mayor
Morgan inquired if that would make a difference. Planning Director Gerschler
said this Code anticipates wall signs of 20 sq. ft. plus an identification
sign of 20 sq. ft.; this proposal as submitted would not allow the sign that
Mr. Cook was talking about. No one else was present in this regard. Moved
by Waters, seconded by Camacho, the hearing be closed the amendment to the
Zoning Ordinance of the Cit of National Cit California Ordinance No.
962, to add specific provisions allowing on -premise directory and identifi-
cation signs for church uses in the R-2 and R-4 Zones be allowed and the
Planning Commission's and staff's recommendation be adhered to. Carried by
unanimous vote.

DEPUTY CITY CLERK FASIG reported receipt of (a) a resolution of the City
Council of the City of Monterey Park expressing strong opposition to enact-
ment of SF3 333 by the Legislature, (b) Notice of a hearing before the :ub-
lic Utilities Commission on the application (No. 52591) of Greyhound Lines
Blest Division of Greyhound Lines, Inc., for an order authorizing statewide
increase in intrastate passenger fares and express rates, and (c) a Report
on Trade Outlets & Taxable Retail Sales in California during 1970, 10th
Annual Report, by the State Board of Equalization. Ordered filed by unani-
mous vote.
PLANNING DIRECTOR GERSCHLER presented the Planning Commission recommendation
regarding the request by Seawind Greens for an amendment to the resolution
granting a Residential Planned Development Permit that Item 7, Exhibit "A"
of Resolution No. 10,138, be amended to read the same as set forth in Reso-
lution No. 10,188, Planned Unit Development Permit No. 29, Items "F" and
"I". Planning Director Gerschler said the effect of this amendment and the
conditions would be to allow them to use individual TV antennae on their
units until cable television was made available in that area; in their staff
recommendation they suggested that the wording provide that approval require
covenants agreeing to take down the TV antennae within 90 days after cable
television has been made available. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Reid,
the City Planner's recommendation be approved. Earl Brown, 2425 E. 16th
Street, was present and said what they wanted was the same relief in the
first unit as granted to them in the second unit. Planning Director Gersch-
ler said the condition that Mr. drown was referring to says that the indi-
vidual TV antennae can be used until cable television was available and
until the individual antennae are deteriorated. Mayor Morgan asked that
this be explained how it would work. Planning Director Gerschler said the
one point they were talking about here was that the regulation as suggested
would require the individual television antenna come down when cable tele-
vision was available and when individual television antennae were deteriorat-
ed; he suggested a change that would require that the individual antenna
come down when cable television was available and within 90 days after be-
cause he had no way of determining when a television antenna was deteriorated.
Mayor Morgan asked what was going to happen when 90 days rolled around and
cable TV was there; it may take more than 90 days. Planning Director
Gerschler said the staff had no thought on the time; it could be 6 months
or it could be a year. Vice Mayor Waters said he thought the point they
were missing was that the ordinance requires they have built-in antennae.
Moved by Waters, seconded by Hogue, the motion be amended to instead of 90
days after cable TV, 1 year. Mayor Morgan inquired what effect this would
have on the developer. Planning Director Gerschler said he would refer it
to the City Attorney as it involved a legal question. City Attorney McLean
said he didn't know; he couldn't answer it tonight. Moved by Morgan, second-
ed by Reid, the motion be tabled for one week. Carried by unanimous vote.
City Attorney McLean said they would try to have a report for the Council
next week. Vice Mayor Waters told the City Attorney while he was doing this,
it appeared to him that they objected to the central TV antenna system; this
was what the ordinance calls for; he wanted to know what the developer was
really objecting to.
PLANNING DIRECTOR GERSCHLER presented the Planning Commission recommendation
regarding the proposed lot split at 1417 Palm Avenue - vacant lot on law
Avenue (Miles Feio) this be approved subject to conditions recommended by
staff and that a covenant and agreement be recorded, waiving any protest
right in future street improvement assessment proceedings, in the event that
the presently contemplated gasoline tax project is not completed. Planning
Director Gerschler said the proposed lot split was routine; it was only be-
fore them tonight because there was a request for a waiver of street im-
provements; the City Engineer advises there is a gas tax project underway
5/18/71
115
that would provide those improvements; the conditions attached by the Plann-
ing Commission provides for a covenant waiving any right to protest future
improvement districts in the area; the Planning Commission recommends approval
as proposed. Moved by Camacho, seconded by Hogue, the Planning Commission's
recommendation be approved. Carried by unanimous vote.
PLANNING DIRECTOR GERSCHLER presented the Planning Commission recommendation
they accept the staff recommendation and approve Planned Development No. 34,
