BACKGROUND In the fall of 1986, the• Plannin'g ,Commis's;.ion directed• staff to develop a comprehensive off-site subdivision direct'i'on sign program. The 'intent was to ' organize the advertising for new tract homes, .limit the locations, control • aesthetics while still giving each new •tract• in the City the opportunity in having equal sign exposure. The Buildin g` Industry Association expressed an interest in working-with the City staff to deveTop a sign program and to' be the responsible party to ultimately implement the program. Sample ordinances of 'similar sign programs', from other cities were collected and presented to the Planning Commission for review at 'a public -hearing held on April 6, 1987. The item was continued :to April 20th and subsequently to ' May 4, 1987. It was the Commissions desire to have an ordinance modeled after the Lancaster ordinance. This was presented to the Commission at its May 4th . meeting. . The item was continued again to make- certain 'refinements to the ordinance. 'The B.I .A. has addressed additional concerns in a supplemental- draft ordinance. Additional items addressed in the- supplemental draft are a. list of definitions, implementation procedures and a few changes in the sign standards than originally proposed by staff. ' An annotated' copy of the supplement is attached. ' Although some implementation language..is included, it is still the City' s interest to implement the ordinance by separate 'agreement. • . . RECOMMENDATION . ' . Approve the attached material as deemed appropriate by. the Commission. A 1 ' revised draft ordinance will be provided to the. Commission prior to a City Council ' ' public hearing on the draft ordinance. • 799 Moorpark Avenue • Moorpark, California 93021 ' • •• (805) 529-6864 • 4 • ORDINANCE NO.
