Mr. Osborne
stated staff reviewed the request and have found several requirements that haven’t been met. Off premise signs to be located in GC or HI zoning districts this property is LI, the sign is less than 750 feet from other off-premise signs. It is also less than 200 feet from the intersection of Hwy 160 and Betty Ave and less than 500 feet of residential zoning and design requirements have also not been met per NCC. Carlos Ramos, applicant stated he wasn’t completely aware of the codes stated today. He was unaware that it had to be GC or HI. They can move the signs or keep them where they are once they have decided on the matter.
Commissioner Adams
stated the signs are 128 sq. ft. and asked if the message could get across with a smaller sign?
Mr. Ramos
stated absolutely. If they decided on conditions, like moving the signs they could do that.

reviewed his staff report and stated the property doesn’t have the proper zoning, less than 750 from another off-premise sign and within 500 feet of a residential zoning district and based on findings staff’s recommendation is for denial.
Mr. Ramos
stated he wished this would have been addressed before getting to this point so the issues could have been corrected.

stated he should have gotten approval prior to putting the sign up, and asked if the 500-foot rule was the only requirement that wasn’t met.

Mr. Richards
stated they can reject the offer of dedication and leave it open until you need it and take the offer at that time. That has been standard practice on parcel maps in the past.
Commissioner Lee
stated the Parcel Map is not what they are looking at tonight and there is a way to work something into a condition of approval that is amenable to all parties.
