RESOLUTION NO. 66
110 WHEREAS, our copies of Ordinance 89 state on an appended leaf that
it .was introduced 5-26-59, and passed 6-5-59 which is only 10 days •later,
and therefore may have been passed as an "emergency ordinance"; and
WHEREAS, the text of the ordinance is one prepared by a sub=
committee of the Planning Commission after extensive debate; the seeking
of opinions from outdoor advertisers and. the association of homebuilders;
careful comparison with various restrictive ordinances adopted by other
cities after careful study and many public hearings; the text in purple
ink being intended for adoptLOil as a regular ordinance, but not indicat-
ing by dates or names that it was so processed; and
WHEREAS, the ordinance appears to have had reasonably general
public acceptance despite its restrictive nature; and
WHEREAS, pleas for variances have seemed to lack major merit
except in cases requesting more suitable identification of shopping
center areas developed to a comprehensive plan for several shops set
well back from roads with off-street parking intervening and reducing
legibility of store-front identification as seen from vehicles travel-
ing the streets at normal speeds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
If it is determined that Ordinance 89 and 89--A were regularly
0 introduced and passed, and are not tinged with "emergency" aspects, we
recommend that a public hearing be scheduled before the Planning
Commission to discuss possible changes of the ordinance with respect
to shopping center signs (Sections 2.09 and 4.05), and such other
matters as the City Council may wish considered at public hearing.
