Planning Direc~or added that it was the consensus of the Commission
that there are'approximately 23 acres of commercially zoned property

meet projected future demands and that there are large amounts of
commercially developed land which should be, 'used more intensely than
has been done in the past; that expansion of 'strip commercial zoning
is undesirable:', "

Planning Commission due primarily to the problem of possible glare
from the signs (illuminated) on adjacent residential properties; also
the size of the signs had not been satisfactory to the Commission.
A request had been made for two signs - 80 sq. ft, each - one on each
side of the building. The City Manager, in his report dated July 14,
submitted as a possible solution that the signs be approved in
approximately the same locations as proposed but be limited to a size
no larger than that permitted on the front of the building and that
the signs not be illuminated after 10 p.m.
Mayor Considine declared the hearing open and Edwin Finkle, I
representing the subject company, stated in part that adverse
business setbacks were being experienced due to the lack of location,
exposure to the public, He explored in detail the request which had
been considered by the Commission, i,e., for permission to install
two signs reading, "Pacific Savings". Projecturals, indicating the
signs ~ould be 80 ~q. ft. each, were reviewed. He then presented a
petitiQn in favor pf the signs containing 18 signatures of property
owners adjacent to the building in question,
No one else desiring to be heard the hearing was CLOSED on MOTION by
Councilman Butterworth, seconded by Councilman Forman and carried
unanimously.
With the exception of Councilman Forman, it was the consensus of the
City Council that there appeared to be some differences in the
evidence presented by Mr. Finkle from that presented before the
Planning Commission ,and therefore consistent with its policy the
matter should properly be referred back to the Commission. Mr, Forman
was of the opinion that inasmuch as Council has heard from those who
would be mostly concerned with the possible glare from the illumi-
'nated signs that it would be a waste of time to return the matter to
the Commission; that ,the Commission would probably concur with the
Council with the suggested changes and felt that it is something the
Council could pass upon,
Upon advice from the Planning Director that the matter could go before
the Commission on Tuesday July 25 it was MOVEP by Councilman Arth,
seconded by Councilman Butterworth and carried on the following roll
call vote that the matter be referred back to the Planning Commission'
and if a solution can be agreed upon between the Commission and the,
applicants it need not be returned to the City Council but be
resolved then and there.
