September 7, 1993
TO: ARCADIA CITY COUNCIL
FROM: PLANNING DEPARTMENT
DONNA L. BUTLER, ACTING PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: TEMPORARY BANNERS IN COMMERCIAL ZONES
During the past few months the City has received numerous complaints from
business owners regarding the number of days temporary banners are allowed to be
displayed on commercial buildings. In response to these complaints, the City
Manager requested staff to review the existing temporary banner code and suggest
some possible alternatives for consideration by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The existing code permits banners for a maximum of 30 days per year. The
regulations allow not more than two banners for any one business with a total
surface area of 32 square feet. (The specific regulations are attached for your
information.)
Currently if a business owner wants a larger banner or wants to display a banner for
longer than the 30 day period they may apply for a modification to the regulations.
The cost for a modification is $210, requires a public hearing before the Modification
Committee and takes approximately two weeks.
More and more businesses are keeping banners up after the allotted time frame.
Business owners believe that banners provide them a means for additional
advertising and that banners give them a more competitive edge in attracting
customers. Most business owners do not want to go through the time and expense
of the Modification process and enforcement of the regulations has become more
difficult due to greater non-compliance.
Because of Arcadia's historic concern regarding the appearance of our business
communities, the City has actively enforced the banner provisions, including
criminal prosecutions through the City Attorney's office.
In August, the City Council approved the Downtown Revitalization Strategy
prepared by Michael Freedman with Freedman, Tung and Bottomley. During the
CC Report - Temporary Banners
9/7/93
Page 1
LASER IMAGED
rT i .Y
y
public meetings on the Downtown Revitalization Plan one of the concerns
mentioned was the City's strict sign ordinance, especially relating to banners.
Part of the Revitalization Strategy includes "New sign design guidelines...that
encourage merchants to reflect the variety and color of Downtown Shops and
services". One of the high priority actions listed is to "Establish land use, parking,
signage and design policies for the downtown that support revitalization
objectives."
Michael Freedman will be working with City staff on developing new sign
regulations for the downtown area. Freedman's recommendations may include
changes to the banner regulations.
Although the revitalization strategy is focused on the City's downtown area, the
concern regarding temporary banners is City-wide. Certain proposed changes to the
downtown signing regulations could be implemented through the City.
ALTERNATIVES
In response to the concerns expressed by business owners the City Council may wish
to consider one of the following:
1. Moratorium on Enforcement
The City Council could formally adopt a moratorium suspending the
enforcement of the 30 day time limitation for temporary banners in all
commercial areas until such time as staff has had the opportunity to study the
problem and come back to the City Council with a recommendation. The
moratorium would be adopted by either a resolution or ordinance of the City
Council setting forth the appropriate findings.
Businesses still would be required to secure a banner permit (no fee) and comply
with banner regulations in relationship to size and number, but would be
allowed to keep banners until the end of the moratorium or at such time as the
City Council adopts new standards for banners.
A moratorium suspending enforcement of the banner regulations in the
downtown area only is not recommended. All businesses within the City are
affected by the downturn in the economy. Staff does not feel it would be
appropriate to eliminate enforcement only within the downtown area. This
could perceived by many business owners outside the downtown area as being
"selective enforcement".
Staff has the following concerns regarding extending, for any significant length of
time, the period in which banners may be displayed:
CC Report - Temporary Banners
9/7/93
Page 2
i
a. The City has no control over the installation, aesthetics and design of
banners. Some banners are designed by professionals while other banners are
hand printed and not aesthetically pleasing.
b. Temporary banners begin to deteriorate over a period of time and do not
enhance the overall appearance of the business community.
2. Extend on a permanent basis the allowable time limit for banners. The City
Council could direct staff to prepare a text amendment revising the code to allow
temporary banners to be displayed for a longer time period, i.e., 45 days, 60 days,
90 days, etc. During the interim the Council could adopt a resolution/ordinance
establishing a moratorium on enforcement until the text amendment is
effective.
3. Continue compliance with the existing regulations, but reduce the fee for
modifications relating to temporary banners from $210 to a lesser amount (the
cost for an administrative modification is $63). More businesses might consider
applying for a modification to display banners for more than 30 days if the cost is
less prohibitive.
4. Maintain the status quo and enforce the existing code.
Regardless of which alternative the City Council selects, staff recommends that
business owners continue to secure the "no fee" banner permit and comply with all
the other regulations pertaining to size, number and location requirements, unless
approved otherwise through the modification process. The permit process allows
staff the opportunity to review the banner to insure it compliance with all code
requirements.
ACTION
If the City Council wishes to consider one of the above alternatives, with the
exception of maintaining the status quo, the Council should direct staff to take the
appropriate action set forth in each alternative.
If the City Council believes that no changes should be made to the existing
regulations, no further action is necessary.

Water Manager
SUBJECT: Authorization to Retain a Consultant to Provide Design
Services for Huntington Drive Rehabilitation (Santa Anita
Avenue to Fifth Avenue) and Huntington Drive Water Line
Reconstruction (Santa Anita Avenue to Second Avenue)
Continued from Arcadia City Council Meeting of August 17,
1993
BACKGROUND:
At their meeting on August 3 , 1993, the City Council adopted the
Downtown Revitalization Strategy and Program Concept. In another
action by the Council, staff was authorized to retain Freedman,
Tung and Bottomley (FTB) , with ASL Consulting Engineers as a
subcontractor, to design the Huntington Drive/First Avenue
Streetscape Improvements. In yet another action, the City Council
directed staff to report back with a proposal from ASL for the
design of Huntington Drive Rehabilitation (overlay) and Huntington
Drive water line reconstruction.
DISCUSSION:
Huntington Drive Rehabilitation Project
This project involves the cold planing- of the existing asphalt
pavement and construction of new asphalt pavement overlay on
Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Fifth Avenue. The
portion of the project between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Avenue
is within the area of the Downtown Revitalization. The project is
in the approved Capital Improvement Program with $900, 000 budgeted
from the Gas-Tax Fund.
ASL has provided the City with a proposal to prepare the plans and
specifications (P&S) for this project. The P&S, when completed,
would be combined with' the P&S for the Huntington Drive/First
Avenue Streetscape Improvements. ASL proposes to do this work at
a cost of $20, 000.
Huntington Drive Water Line Reconstruction Project
Prior to having any knowledge of the specific design concepts for
Huntington Drive Streetscape Improvements, the Water Division had
approval from the City Council to construct two water projects on
Huntington Drive between Santa Anita Avenue and Second Avenue. The
two water projects are described below:
LASER IMAGED
1. Cement Lining of Existing 16" Steel Water Line
This project involves cement lining of the existing 16" water
line in Huntington Drive within the area , of the Downtown
Revitalization. The City. Council, on February 2, 1993,
appropriated $185, 000 from the Water Facilities Replacement Fund
to construct the project. The existing 16" water main was
constructed in 1936 and has experienced a major leak in January
1993 . The purpose of the project was to prevent future leaks
in the 16" water main especially after the construction of the
new roadway.
2 . Construction of ten (10) - 8" Water Main Laterals in Huntington
Drive
This project involves constructing five (5) - 8" water main
laterals on each side of Huntington Drive (see Attachment 1) .
There is $50, 000 budgeted in the approved Capital Improvement
Program from the Water Facilities Replacement Fund. The purpose
of this project was to avoid perpendicular street cuts for new
water services after completion of the new asphalt pavement.
Each property owner needing a new water service would still be
required to extend the 8" lateral longitudinally in Huntington
Drive to provide water service connection to their building.
Since some specific design concepts for Huntington Drive
Streetscape Improvements have been made available, Water Division
staff felt it necessary to re-evaluate these two projects to
determine if they could be modified to better serve the Downtown
Revitalization area. One of the key factors in our re-evaluation
was to develop a water project that would eliminate the need to
replace the existing 16" water main in the near future and minimize
street cuts for the longest period of time possible. A second
factor was to have water facilities located in Huntington Drive in
an area that would require the least amount of street cuts when
adding new water services in the future.
After careful review of these two factors, it was concluded by
staff that the. two water projects should be replaced with a new
water main replacement project. Essentially, this means that the
existing 16" water main (constructed in 1936) would be abandoned in
place and two new water mains would be constructed near the gutter
on the north and south side of Huntington Drive (Parallel Main
Project - PMP) . (See Attachment 2)
The construction of the PMP would allow future water services
(domestic and fire) to be added with only minor street cuts
(approximately 4' x 4') for connection purposes rather than making
any perpendicular or longitudinal street cuts to access existing
mains. Without the PMP, any new water service would involve a
longitudinal street cut from 50' to 150' in length to connect the
property owner's water service to the new 8" laterals. If the
property owner, did not .connect to the new 8" laterals, then the
LASER
3
only other location for a new water service would be at the
existing 16" water main near the median in Huntington Drive which
would involve a perpendicular street cut.
One economic benefit of the PMP is that new ductile iron mains
would last approximately 50 years longer than the cement lining of
the existing 16" water main. Another economic benefit would be
realized by the business owners because their costs to install a
new water service (domestic and fire) would be much cheaper.
Depending on the location of a particular property, a business .
owner could save between $5, 000 and $15, 000 as a result of the PMP
because the PMP would greatly reduce the amount of water main work
required to construct a new water service.
It is staff's recommendation that the two prior approved water
projects be eliminated and replaced with the PMP. The estimated
cost to construct the PMP is $415, 000. With the approval of City
Council, staff would utilize the already approved funds of $235, 000
toward the PMP. If the PMP is approved, staff requests that the
City Council appropriate an additional $180, 000 from the Facilities
Replacement Fund for a total of $415, 000 for the PMP.
ASL has provided the Water Division with a proposal to prepare the
plans and specifications (P&S) for the PMP in Huntington Drive. As
with the P&S for Huntington Drive Rehabilitation, the P&S for the
PMP would be combined with the P&S for the Streetscape Project.
ASL proposes to do this work for $13, 500.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize staff to replace the two prior approved water projects
(cement lining of existing 16" main and 8" water main laterals)
