ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x
We have re•~iewed a request from Mr. E.H. Nichols to install three directional
signs for the Saint Mark's Lutheran Church. The requested directional si.gr~s
were to be provided by the Church and have a logo in the sign. Since staff
knows of no other such sign for public service organizations in this city, and
since the unregulated proliferation of such signs could have a detrimental
affect on traffic, it is our position that a Council Policy should be adopted
regulating the installation of these signs.
Nearby agencies allowing such signs are the City of San Diego, the City of
El Cajon, and the City of La Mesa. In checking with these agencies, they
have indicated that they have experienced no particular problem with the
implementation of their policies. Staff has prepared the attached Council
Policy (similar to Cities of San Diego and El Cajon's policies) which will
provide for the installation of these signs based upon various conditions.
--These conditions include such items as:
1. No sign will be installed without permission from the Director of Public
Works.
2. The location of the signs are regulated, i.e., not within 200 feet of a
traffic signal and 100 feet of other signs, etc.
3. No more than three signs may be used for any one institutional location.
4. The signs shall be of porcelain enameled steel, all of the same size
(18" x 24") and shall not contain any particular logo. The impact is
for the signs to be directional in nature only and not be advertising.
5. The City will provide the poles and clamps and actually do the installa-
tion of the signs at the applicant's expense. Because of that condition
we don't feel that an encroachment permit through Council will be necessary.
