A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AMENDING
"APPENDIX A" OF THE SIGN ORDINANCE (MUNICIPAL CODE
SECTION 18.62.030)
WHEREAS, Chapter 18.62 of the National City
Municipal Code, regulating signs and outdoor advertising,
refers to a certain "Appendix A" (Section 18.62.030), and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds it to
be in the public interest to amend said "Appendix A", in
the manner provided by Chapter 18.136 of said Code, to
set forth therein guideline standards for signs located
near freeways, and
WHEREAS, this Council has received and reviewed
the Planning Commission Report and recommendation in
support of this amendment and concurs in their findings;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that "Appendix
A" of the sign ordinance (Municipal Code Section 18.62.030)
is hereby amended to read as follows:
"HEIGHT REGULATIONS
2. GENERAL COMMERCIAL ZONE (All 'C' zones
except CL).
3. MANUFACTURING ZONE (All 'M' zones):
FREE STANDING: NEAR FREEWAY
Those outdoor advertising structures (signs)
placed near freeways, as described in Municipal Code Chapter
9.32, shall be limited to a maximum height of 75' measured
to the top of the sign. All such signs exceeding the height
limit for 'FREE STANDING' signs herein shall be subject to
Planning Commission review. Such review shall include a
finding that the requested sign structure height is, or is
not, necessary to afford reasonable vision clearances and
line of sight viewing of the sign from vehicles traveling
on the adjoining freeway. The Planning Commission may
adopt guideline standards for use in making such findings.
A general standard of 500 ft. minimum sight distance for 15"
letters and a minimum nine second exposure (a) 55 MPH
highway speeds will be used. Persons seeking such Planning
Commission review will be expected to furnish engineering
design data and drawings sufficient to demonstrate the
need for exceeding normal height limit standards. The
Planning Commission will limit the height of all such
signs to no more than that which is necessary to achieve
these standards."
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 14th day of June, 1977.
