Subject: Follow up on Inquiries
Dear Doc:
My apologies for the vague subject line, but the number and diversity of your
current interests with the City makes specific itemization rather awkward.
The following responses, though brief in narrative, should provide you with the
information necessary to proceed or conclUde these matters.
1. Sign Island ~ A single user occupying multiple lots is entitled to the
aggregate square footage assigned to those lots in the original agreement.
The total square footage of sign island shall not exceed the amount provided
in the original agreement. The square footage of on-premise signs shall be
reduced in proportion to sign island square footage.
2. Gateway Street Sign - The proposal to create a corridor from an interior lot
to a lot fronting Gateway may be accommOdated through a transfer of fee title
(lot line adjustment). It is recommended that this corridor be 5 to 10 feet
wide with a 10 to 20 foot square "boot" along Gateway. The corridor could not
be used for commercial access but could be used as required landscaped
setbacks for all abutting lots.
3. Sycan Subdivision is in "1-5 Oriented Area B" therefore each business may have
two free standing signs; one @ 65 feet tall and 500 square feet per face; one
@ 35 feet tall and 150 square feet per face. Sign island is not considered
one of these permitted signs. Total area for all wall signs is 300 square
feet per street frontage.
4. Additional right-of~way for an increased raaius in the northwest intersection
of Kruse ana Hutton is not a requirement of the City. The functional design
of these streets can accommOdate any use permitted in the CC zone. If you
wish to increase this radius the City will accept aedication and improvement
subject to our normal procedures for such action.
5. The property just east of Sycan is proposed for: 1) expedited annexation
review; 2) zone change to CC; and, 3) lot line adjustment. The City has no
objection to expeditea annexation review. The outcome of all concurrent land
use applications will be contingent upon execution of the final order by the
Bounaary Commission.
':k
The City's position on the zone change is that the commercial designation on
the Pl an di agram shows a 1 arger area than is currently occupi ed by Sycan. We
will rely heavily on the findings ana supporting materials you supply for this
request., but of course the Pl anni ng Commi ssi on, not the staff, must approve
this request.
The lot line adjustment will involve Parcel 8, lots 1300 and 1900. Since
there are 2 lots outside the subaivision that will deed land to Parcel 8, two
separate.applications. are necessary.
. . .
6.' Sign Enforcement:.....:The.Citywill initiate a citation program upon adoption of
the revised Development COde. A single warning will be issued one week before
implementation. All businesses utilizing portable signs will be cited.
Existing signs which exceed our present standardS, and which were previously
authorized, wi" be allowed to remain unless a new tenant proposes to install
a sign. Recent court cases involving the extent to which Cities may use
exactions as a condition of approval raises some serious questions about the
standing of an amortization program that aoes not inclUde compensation. It
might be useful to have your attorney contact Joe Leahy for further
i nformati on.
7. Fill on tax lot 1100 ~ John Marshall of the Division of State LandS, will be
sending me a letter verifying DSL has no juriSdiction over the fill that has
occurred on this tax lot. Mr~ Marshall COuld find no evidence of wetland
features on his recent inspection of this site.
". 8. Southern Paci fi c Ri ght-of..Way .. Cynthi a Pappas has wri tten to Mr. MacNei 1 of
SP clarifying the City's position on the appropriate use and zoning of this
property. I have attached a copy of thi s letter for your files.
I hope I have discussed each of the items that are of primary concern to you. If I
have left anything out, or if you would like more detail, please contact me at your
convenience.
