Subject: Consider Minor Modification No. 4 to Commercial Planned
Development Permit No. 92 -2 for a Modification of the
Master Sign Program to Install Menu board Signs Totaling
79.2 Square Feet in Size at the McDonald's Restaurant;
Located at the Northeast Corner of New Los Angeles Avenue
and Spring Road at 501 New Los Angeles Avenue, Applicant
Debbie Voss (APN 512 -0- 180 -080)
Background
On October 20, 1986, the Planning Commission approved Resolution No.
PC 92 -267, a request for construction of a 3,200 square foot
McDonald's Restaurant on a one -acre parcel. Several Minor
Modifications related to landscaping and limiting traffic movements
from the site were subsequently processed and the "Playplace"
providing play equipment in the facility was approved in 1996. The
current request is to allow an increase in sign area for the drive -
through menu board by approval of a Minor Modification to the
Commercial Development Permit that allowed the development of this
project.
Discussion
On November 17, 1992, Sign Permit No. 293 was issued for installation
of signs for the McDonald's Restaurant. This sign permit included the
installation of one (1) menu board sign measuring 10.75 square feet
in size (Exhibit 3j.
The current Minor Modification (No. 4) application is a request for
revision of the Master Sign Program to replace the existing approved
menu board sign for the drive - through with two (2) new menu board

signs (Exhibit 2); a new main menu board sign totaling 43.3 square
feet (8'3" wide x 5'3" high) and a Preview Board of 11.8 square feet
(2'3" wide x 5'3" wide) . These two proposed signs would total 55.1
square feet in size. Both signs would include pictures of the food
items with text descriptions limited to the larger sign. The larger
sign is proposed to be located in the drive - through lane just before
the pick up window where food orders are placed. The Preview Board
would be located at the entrance to the drive - through to inform
patrons of the `value meals' and `specials', which are available.

Code Requirements
Section 17.40.140 of the Zoning Ordinance (Exhibit 4) limits the size
of signs for drive - through restaurants to one (1) menu board sign not
to exceed sixteen (16) square feet in area which is not counted as
part of signage allowed on the site. Riders (extra signage on the
perimeter of the sign) on the menu board are prohibited.
Condition No. 26 of Resolution No. PC 92 -267 (approving McDonald's)
required approval of a Sign Program governing the placement of signs
on the site. This proposal is requesting the application of Section
17.40.050.0 of the Zoning Ordinance which allows Sign Programs to
supercede the requirements of Section 17.40 (Signs) of the Zoning
Ordinance as a basis to allow two (2) menu board totaling 55.1 square

feet in size as compared to the 16 square feet single menu board size
provision found in the Zoning Ordinance.
Existina McDonald's Sians
At present, three (3) menu board signs, one permitted but slightly
over size and two that have not been permitted are located on site,
these consist of: 1) A 10.75 square feet permanent menu board (which
meets code requirements) listing the choices in text with a 6.3
square feet rider attached (total 17.05 square feet) located in the
planter just before the pick up window. This is also the location to
order from the menu through a speakerphone. 2) A 19.3 square feet
(48" wide x 58" high) temporary menu board has been placed in the
planter at the entrance to the drive - through. 3) An additional
temporary menu board has been placed in the planter across from the
pick up window within view of the ordering location. This sign is
42.9 square feet in size (119" wide by 52" high) . Both of these
temporary signs (Sign No. 2 and No. 3 in this paragraph) include
pictures of the food items listed on the menu. The total size of the
three existing menu board signs is 79.25 square feet. One menu board
sign (Sign A) was authorized at the time of approval of the
restaurant totaling ten (10) square feet in size (Exhibit 3).
Additionally, other on -site signs were approved by Sign Permit No.
293, which approved two (2) monument signs, building signs, and
directional signs. However, the 'McDonald's' building sign on the
southeast elevation of the building which was approved with Sign
Permit No. 293 was conditioned to be removed by Sign Permit No. 96-
419 (approving the Playplace signs). This sign remains today and must
be removed regardless of the action taken on this request.
Existing Menu Board Signs Within the City
Five other restaurants in the City have drive - through and menu board
signs. The current size of these signs and their permit status is
summarized below:
Burger King - 33.6 square feet existing menu board signage consisting
of a 7.33 square feet Preview Board at the entrance to the drive -
through, a 21.96 square feet main menu board with a 4.34 square feet
rider. Sign Permit No. 436 approved the monument sign but did not
include provision for the menu board or wall signs.

Carl's Jr. - 51.3 square feet existing menu board signage consisting
of a 36.26 square feet menu board and three riders of 2.21 (top) ,
1.85 (left side) and 1.85 square feet (left side) respectively and
a 9.01 square feet Preview Board installed at the drive - through
entrance. Sign Permit No. 309 approved a 31.5 square foot menu board
for Carl's. No criteria exist in the Sign Program for Mission Bell
Plaza for menu board signs. At the time of approval, the Master Sign
Program for the center was allowed to exceed the Zoning Ordinance
provisions for signs.
El Pollo Loco - 39.5 square feet existing menu board signage. The
Minor Modification approving construction of El Pollo Loco included
a menu board measuring 46" x 74" (23.6 sq. ft.) . Sign Permit No. 415
was approved for wall and monument signs, but did not include any
reference to menu board. No criteria exist in the Sign Program of
Mission Bell Plaza for menu board signs. At the time of approval, the
Master Sign Program for the center was allowed to exceed the Zoning
Ordinance provisions for signs. No riders exist on this menu board
sign.
Taco Bell - 47.2 square feet existing menu board signage consisting
of a 23.06 square feet menu board and four riders of 7.29 (top), 8.77
(right side), 4.18 (left side) and 3.94 square feet (left side)
respectively. No record of a Sign Permit exists for Taco Bell, which
is located in the Town Center, a project originally approved by
Ventura County prior to incorporation of the City. The current sign
program for the Town Center contains no reference concerning menu
board signs. At the time of approval, the Master Sign Program for the
center was allowed to exceed the Zoning Ordinance provisions for
signs.
Wendys - 46.0 square feet existing menu board signage consisting of
a 32.25 square feet menu board with two side riders totaling 5.46
square feet, a top rider of 7.17 square feet and a 8.36 square feet
Preview Board at the drive - through entrance. Sign Permit No. 161
approved all of the existing signs including the menu board but
included no plans or specifications for the signs. The approved plans
for Wendys depicted three Wendys wall signs and three (3) logos on
the building but no menu board signs. No reference concerning menu
board is included in the Sign Program for Moorpark Plaza.

In 1993, a condition of Zoning Clearance for the restaurant facility
involved the planting of a 72" box Holly Oak Tree. This requirement
was fulfilled, however, the tree subsequently died and was removed.
The replacement of this tree is required since it was a condition of
project approval, however, it has also been included as a condition
of this Minor Modification request.

Surmary
Menu board signs were approved by the City for all of the above
facilities, with the exception of Taco Bell, which was approved by
the County of Ventura. At present, no information exists concerning
the approved size of menu board signs for Burger King, Taco Bell and
Wendys. However, Carl's Jr., E1 Pollo Loco and McDonald's have
installed menu board signs larger than authorized by the approved
Sign Permit. Due to the lack of clarity of information regarding the
approved size of menu board signs for a number of the existing fast
food restaurants, it may be appropriate to authorize additional
signage area for the drive - through portion of the restaurants but not
exceed the average size of the competing facilities who currently
have adequate signage. Based upon this "equity" concept the total
sign area of all menu board Signs at the McDonald's Restaurant drive -
through should be not more than 43.5 square feet which is the average
menu board drive - through square footage currently constructed by
competing fast food restaurants. Currently, the largest total amount
of drive - through signage is 51.1 square feet at Carl's Jr. This is in
contrast to the smallest in place signage of 33.5 square feet at
Burger King and the total of 79.2 square feet requested by McDonald's
Restaurant.

Based upon the existing McDonald's menu board of 10.7 square feet an
additional 32.8 square feet of signage would be allowed if the
requested additional drive - through menu board signage is limited to
the 43.5 square foot "equity" signage proposed by the staff
recommendations.
Case Processing Fees
As noted earlier in this report, there have been a number of
applications processed for this facility during the past eight (8)
years, not including the current request, which have generated a
negative balance in the processing accounts. Based upon a recent
audit of the accounts for this project, there is an outstanding
balance due of $2,511.25 that is payable to the City for legal
services by the City Attorney and processing and condition compliance
review by the Planning and Engineering Departments. Of the amount
due and payable to the City, $2,307.40 is outstanding from 1995 -
1996 as owed for legal review. A condition has been included in the
attached resolution that this money be paid to the City prior to the
approval of a Zoning Clearance for any permits to do work on the
site.
Environmental Determination
This project is Categorically Exempt from the provisions of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 11 Exemption,
for the construction or placement of minor structures accessory to
existing commercial structures, such as signs.
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. approving Minor Modification No. 4 to
Commercial Planned Development Permit No. 92 -2.

SUBJECT: PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MCDONALDS MENU SIGN AT 501 NEW
LOS ANGELES AVE
ENCLOSED IS THE REQUIRED INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE REQUESTED
TO HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 20 FEET OF DRIVE THRU MENU BOARD AT MY
RESTUARANT.
I AM SIMPLY ASKING THE CITY TO ALLOW ME TO INSTALL A NEW AND
BETTER LOOKING MENU BOARD TO ASSIST MY CUSTOMERS OF

ENHANCE THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WHEN THE CUSTOMER IS PLACING
THE ORDER BECAUSE THE NEW MENU BOARD CONSISTS OF APPX 70%
PICTURES OF FOOD VS THE SMALL PRINT THAT I HAVE NOW. THE MENU
BOARD IS PRETTY SIMILAR TO THE OTHER RESTS IN TOWN. PLEASE SEE
THE ENCLOSED PICTURES. THE NEW DRIVE THRU MENU BOARD IS ONLY
ADDITIONAL 20 FT OF SIGNAGE. THE ACTUAL SIZE AND DETAILS ARE IN
THE PACKAGE.
I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR RESPONSE AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.
IN CLOSING, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE WORKING
FOR THE CITY FOR VISITING MY REST. THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. I
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GROW MY BUSINESS WITHOUT THE
GOOD RELEATIONS THAT I HAVE WITH THE CITY. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION AND HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU VERY SOON.

2. Canopy signs are prohibited from extending beyond
the canopy or parapet to which it is attached and are
prohibited from being located on the incline or slope of
the canopy.
B. Monument Signs.
1. One (1) monument sign to include a changeable
copy price sign is allowed. The size of the monument sign
may be a maximum of five (5) feet in height and six (6)
feet in width (thirty (30) square feet of sign area).
2. Monument signs may encroach into one -half (r /2)
of the required setback area. However, the minimum sign
setback area is four (4) feet or as outlined within the zoning
matrix in Chapter 17.20, whichever is greater. Said sign
may be illuminated, consistent with illumination policies
as outlined within Section 17.40.050E. The monument sign
may have individually illuminated channel letters or solid
individual letters which are back -lit (halo -lit). External and
indirect lighting is not allowed. Individual letters on the
monument signs may be not less than twelve (12) inches
in height and no more than eighteen (18) inches in height.
3. All monument signs must be surrounded by a
minimum four (4) foot wide landscaped planter area; four
(4) feet must be measured in all directions. The monument
sign must have a solid base rather than pole supports.
C. Overall Area Limit. The maximum total sign area
for a service station site is one hundred (100) square feet.
(Ord. 199 § 1 (8110- 10.2), 1994)
17.40.140 Special purpose signage-
Drive- through restaurants.
A drive -in or drive- through restaurant is allowed one
(1) menu board not exceeding sixteen (16) square feet in
area, which may not be counted toward the sign area or
permitted number of signs otherwise allowed for the lot
or premises. No riders on menu boards are allowed. (Ord.
199 § 1 (8110- 10.3), 1994)
17.40.150 Downtown sign regulations.*
A. Introduction. No new, altered or changed signs shall
be installed or utilized without the proper review and approval
of the department of community development. A sign permit
shall be required prior to the placing, erecting, moving,
reconstructs ng, altering, or displaying of any sign within the
downtown. Minor repair of all or part of an existing sign
so as to duplicate the appearance and location of the original
sign shall not require city review and approval.
B. Relationship of Cirywide Sign Requirements to the
Downtown Sign Requirements. All of the sign requirements
as outlined within this chapter apply to the downtown area,
except as outlined in this section.
C. Considerations When Submitting A Request for
A Sion Permit. In order to provide general guidance to
those prepat ing to achieve conformance with the downtown
sign requirements, the following elements must be consid-
ered in all signage proposals.
1. Materials and Colors. Materials used to construct
or that are to be assembled as ,ignage should be compatible
with the exterior treatment of the building they identify.
The text for all signs within the downtown shall be compati-
ble, reflecting Moorpark's rural heritage.
a. Materials. The range of signs acceptable for down-
town includes not only those made from traditional materi -
als, such as painted and carved wooden signs, painted wail
signs or signs applied to awnings but also those made of
newer, modern materials, such as plastic or plastic- lettered
signs, neon signs, backlit signs and die -cut metal panels
with light sources behind them. Consistent quality, rather
than uniform materials or standardized placement, relates
the signs to each other.
b. Colors. The use of more than two (2) colors is
encouraged to promote visual interest. However. the com-
bined use of two (2) primary colors is not encouraged,
particularly bright red and bright yellow; other fluorescent
colors are not encouraged. Colors should be consistent with
the early California themes, and relevant to building archi-
tecture. Bright colors should be used for lettering and not
major building surfaces. No more than three (3) colors.
complementary to the support structure and primary build-
ing, shall be used on the sign.
2. Support Structures. The types of materials used
for the support structures of signs may include, but are
not limited to, wood, wood - carved signs, wrought -iron with
painted sign facing, and painted sheet metals, given that
the entire surface is painted.
3. Sign Face. Color schemes used for signage should
not only complement the building for which the sign
advertises but also should relate to other structures, signage
and graphics in the vicinity, in order to create a sense of
continuity.
4. Sign Placement.
a. A sign should be placed so that it does not clash
with the building's architecture, but is prominent enough
to be noticed. Signs which are well designed relate well
not only to their own storefronts, but also to the other signs
and storefronts along the block. Historically, downtown
has been filled with a rich variety of signs.
b. When deciding a sign location, the approving
authority will review all downtown signs in reference to
the following:
i. Avoid overly large signs.
ii. Do not obscure or destroy architectural details; this
detailing greatly enhances the downtown character and
atmosphere.
