BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' ZONING WORK SESSION
Tuesday, August 9, 2005

All Supervisors present.

CHAPTER 8 - PARKING AND LOADING - Supervisors deleted this chapter of
the proposed ordinance and inserted Section 12-7 of the existing
ordinance.  They directed staff to review the number of spaces required
for each specific use in the proposed and existing ordinance and use the
lesser number with the exception of Nursery Schools and Child Care which
was changed from 1 space for each 20 children to 1 space for each 10
children. (Mr. Harvey absent for this review.)

CHAPTER 10 - SIGN REGULATIONS - Supervisors continued their review:

G. Exempt Signs 19. Decals - deleted

H. Temporary Signs - changed the permit for a temporary sign from thirty
(30) days to ninety (90) days

I. Prohibited Signs - 7. Tree, Utility Pole and Other Related Signs -
deleted any mention of utility poles in this section as no sign can be
attached to a utility pole, which is the private property of the utility.

I. Prohibited Signs - 8. Signs Projecting Over a Public Right-of-Way -
added a minimum height of 8 feet for any signs approved by the Planning
Commission that will project over a right-of-way.

I. Prohibited Signs - 10. Signs Attached to Freestanding Sign - Changed
the text from, "Separate signs attached to a freestanding sign or its
supporting structure, advertising services including but not limited to
automobile travel clubs and credit cards." to "Separate signs attached
to a freestanding sign or its supporting structure, except those
advertising related services such as automobile travel clubs and credit
cards, as long as the total allowed sign square footage is not exceeded."

J. Nonconforming Signs - 3. Deleted the words "composition" and "color"
in the sentence, "Nonconforming signs shall not be repainted or refaced
when such action alters or changes the wording, composition, color or
material of the sign unless such a change is specifically authorized by
the Planning Director."
