OLD BUSINESS
The Clerk presented for discussion alternatives regard -
Proposed Sign ing proposed Sign Ordinance changes.
Ordinance
Changes The Development Services Director reviewed staff's
memorandum dated August 12, 1982, which included four
options for Council consideration: (1) Send the Ordi-
nance to the Planning Commission to begin the public
hearing process; (2) Place the Ordinance on the Septem-
ber Study Session Agenda; (3) Schedule a joint Planning
Commission/City Council Study Session on the subject;
and (4) Abandon the project. The Development Services
staff opposes the proposed changes to the Sign Ordinance
for reasons outlined in the above mentioned memorandum.
Vice Mayor Hall read a prepared statement in which he
stated his preference to refer this matter to a Council
Study Session for the following reasons: (1) We are
just entering an election campaign for City Council
which will offer an opportunity for extensive input
from the community during many candidate sessions which
will occur; and (2) There is a possibility that there
could be a change on the Council in November, 1982, and
if, in fact, there is a change, it would be unfair to
the new member or members for the present Council to
take action on such an apparently controversial item as
this just prior to the election, -eliminating the possi-
bility of any new views.
MOTION Vice Mayor Hall made a motion, seconded by Councilman
Refer to November Johnson, to refer the proposed Sign Ordinance changes to
Study Session the Study Session of November 8, 1982.
Councilman McFarland stated that he felt the Sign Ordi-
nance will be a campaign issue, and it should be because
people are concerned and want to know the attitude of
those running for office. He further commented that he
SUBSTITUTE MOTION saw no advantage in delaying discussion until November
Refer to Joint 8, 1982, and made a substitute motion to adopt Option
Study Session in 3 by scheduling a joint Planning Commission/City Council
October Study Session in October, 1982.
Councilwoman Hertzog expressed her agreement with that
portion of Councilman McFarland's motion to hold a joint
Study Session, however, she did not agree that such a
meeting be held in October. Councilwoman Hertzog stated
her preference to hold the joint Study Session in Novem-
ber, 1982, so that input could be obtained during the
election campaign and she further expressed her opinion
that the Planning Commission should be involved in dis-
cussion of the proposed changes. Councilwoman Hertzog
expressed her desire that the Sign Ordinance be an effec-
tive ordinance and not an emotional issue as it was in
the 1974 and 1978 election campaigns. She further
commented that she would support Councilman McFarland's
motion if he would consider amending his motion by
changing the time of the joint Study Session with the
Planning Commission to November, 1982, or possibly a
later date. Councilwoman Hertzog's reason for the later
date was that if there is a new Council Member, or
Members, it will be necessary to allow additional time
for study of the ordinance and proposed changes.
AMENDED SUBSTITUTE Councilman McFarland amended his substitute motion by
MOTION - Refer to referring this item to the first Study Session in
Joint Study January, 1983, to be held jointly with the Planning
Session in Commission, so that if there were new members on the
January City Council, there will be sufficient time for study.
The motion was seconded by Councilwoman Hertzog.
Vice Mayor Hall stated he would vote against the
amended substitute motion because he felt it was not
necessary to involve the Planning Commission until
after Council decided whether or not to approve the
proposed changes to the Sign Ordinance.
Mayor Schafer also commented that she would vote
against the amended substitute motion because she
was in favor of referring this item to the Council
Study.Session in -November, 1982, and meet with the
Planning Commission thereafter.
Failed to The Mayor called for a vote and the amended substitute
Carry motion failed to carry, Council Members Schafer, Hall,
and Johnson voting_.no.
Vice Mayor Hall suggested that if there are new members
on the Council after the November election, the November
Study Session date could be changed to a later time to
allow study by the new members.
ORIGINAL MOTION After brief discussion, Mayor Schafer called for the
Carried vote on Vice Mayor Hall's original motion to refer this
item to the Study Session in November, 1982. The
motion carried 5-0. -
Mayor Schafer announced that public comments regarding
the proposed Sign Ordinance changes will be heard at
the end of the meeting under Oral Communications.

PUBLIC HEARING The Clerk announced that this was the time and place
R-82-09 set for the public hearing for Rezone Petition R-82-09,
Gianulias/Bristol James C. Gianulias, authorized agent for Bristol Plaza,
Plaza Post Office Box 2990, Newport Beach, for permission to
rezone property located at 3150 Bristol Street from Cl
to PDC. Environmental Determination: Environmental
Impact Report previously accepted by Council. The
Affidavit of Publication is on file in the Clerk's
office.
ZE-82-117 In connection with the above referenced property, the
Clerk also presented Zone Exception ZE-82-117, for a
Planned Development Review of two five -story office
buildings, with variances from setback and site cover-
age requirements. No communications have been received
for subject applications.
The Development Services Director reviewed the Planning
Staff Report and pointed out that staff and the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the rezone, planned
development, and variances subject to all conditions as
amended by the Planning Commission. At their meeting
of August 9, 1982, the Planning Commission took the
following action: (1) Deleted Condition No. 7; (2) Con-
dition No. 8 was amended to read, "Design of the access
to Bristol Street, including a deceleration lane, shall
be completed under the direction of the Public Services
Director prior to issuance of building permits; and
(3) Modified Condition No. 10 to read, "Prepare and
submit engineering drawings and deposit $40,000.00
towards costs for construction of a traffic signal on
Paularino Avenue, at the easement behind Ward's, includ-
ing an approach from property south of Paularino Avenue.
Exact amount of the applicant's share of costs shall be
based on development of the adjacent property and pro-
rated accordingly. (Exact wording of this condition is
to be refined by staff prior to submittal for the City
Council hearing.)
Andrew Gianulias, 3101 Manistee Drive, Costa Mesa,
representing Bristol Plaza, requested that Condition
No. 11 be modified to read, "Upon development of the
Ward's property, applicant agrees to cooperate and con-
tribute toward the costs to improve the easement behind
the Ward's building under the direction of the Public
Services Director. The exact amount of applicant's
share of the cost shall be prorated in accordance with
the respective sizes of the properties".
In response to questions from the Council, Mr. Gianulias
stated that resurfacing would be done immediately where
necessary, the easement will be used primarily for
ingress and egress by employees, and that he would have
no problem with the share of costs being prorated in
accordance with parking requirements of the respective
properties.
The Public Services Director stated that since this
condition was a mitigating matter connected to the
Environmental Impact Report, he was concerned over the
improvements being contingent on a future project. He
suggested that the applicant post a bond prior to occu-
pancy in order to insure the surface, curb, and gutter
improvements.
After an explanation by the Public Services Director
regarding posting of a bond to insure curb and gutter
construction, Mr. Gianulias stated that he was in
accordance with the intent of this method for appli-
cant's share of the costs. Mr. Gianulias also requested
that Condition No. 10 be worded similarly and the Public
Services Director -responded that it would be possible to
grant the request.
Roy Andreen, 2769 Cibola Avenue, Costa Mesa, represent-
ing the Mesa Del Mar Homeowners Association, stated that
he had been directed to voice the Association's opposi-
tion to any development south of the San Diego Freeway
which is over 30 feet in height. Opposition is based on
additional traffic which will be generated inside and
outside of the Mesa Del Mar Tract.
There being no other speakers, the Mayor closed the
public hearing.

ORAL
COMMUNICATIONS Ann Mound, 3128 Country Club Drive, Costa Mesa, spoke in
opposition to any changes being made to the present Sign
Sign Ordinance Ordinance. She expressed her opinion that since new-
Changes
ewChanges Opposed businesses in the City have been required to comply with
the Ordinance, it would be unfair to delete the amorti-
zation requirement to appease a small number of Chamber
of Commerce members.
Later in the meeting, three more citizens spoke opposing
any changes to the Sign Ordinance.
Jim Toledano, 3165 Gibraltar Avenue, Costa Mesa, stated
that in 1974, the Council made a promise to the citizens
to cure visual blight within the City. He also com-
mented that deleting the amortization requirement should
be an issue in the upcoming election and that all Coun-
cil Members air their ideas. Mr. Toledano further
stated that new business which have come into the City
since 1974 have had to conform to the ordinance, and it
would be unfair to them to allow other businesses to
retain nonconforming signs.
Maureen Di Domenico, 941 Coronado Drive, Costa Mesa,
stated that Council would not be treating people equally
if they made a change in the Sign Ordinance. She
further commented that in 1974, the citizens expressed
their concern over the appearance of the City and
wanted the ugly signs removed. Mrs. Di Domenico urged
Council to adhere to the 10 -year amortization as con-
tained in the Sign Ordinance.
Marilyn Voyer, 3353 Alabama Circle, Costa Mesa, spoke
in opposition to any changes in the Sign Ordinance.
She referred to a letter that she and her husband had
directed to Vice Mayor Hall, dated June 29, 1982, in
which they strongly objected to his recommendation to
change the Sign Ordinance, and urged that the present
Sign Ordinance continue without modification and be
enforced to the benefit of all residents.
SP -78-02 Don Montgomery, 801 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa, spoke
Randolph Avenue concerning Specific Plan SP -78-02 which includes the
Extension extension of Randolph Avenue past Baker Street and then
westerly to join Platte Drive at Paularino Avenue. Mr.
Montgomery pointed out that the Randolph Avenue exten-
sion was a major issue in 1978 and his purpose in
speaking tonight was to request a review of Specific
Plan SP -78-02. He expressed opposition to the extension
because of the increased traffic that will be generated,
the high cost of the project, and the issue of child
safety. He urged the Council to review subject plan
and to delete the extension of Randolph Avenue.
Jean Pitoniak, 786 Paularino Avenue, Costa Mesa, stated
that traffic to South Coast Plaza has increased to the
extent that there are now five peak hours instead of
1
C
two. Mrs. Pitoniak also expressed her opinion that if
Randolph Avenue is extended, it would create a.blind
area which would be dangerous to children attending
Bear Street School. She urged the Council to consider
these points and to reconsider their previous action
approving the extension of Randolph Avenue under
Specific Plan SP -78-02.
Elsie Deeter, 3067 Yellowstone Drive, Costa Mesa, also
spoke in opposition to the Randolph Avenue extension.
She advised the Council of a vehicle count she had
taken which pointed out the heavy traffic which exists
in the area. Mrs. Deeter voiced her concern over the
traffic noise, safety of pedestrians, and deterioration
of the neighborhood.
