STAFF REPORT
Subject: Appeal of the Planning Commission denial of Conditional
Use Permit No. 91-39, requesting approval to construct
a billboard on the same site that a billboard was removed
to facilitate the construction of a retail center.
Mayor and Common Council Meeting of February 3, 1992
REOUEST
The applicant, Gannet outdoor Co., Inc., is appealing the denial
of Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 by the Planning Commission.
Under the authority of Development Code Section 19.22.080(1), the
applicant requests that the Mayor and Common Council approve a
conditional use permit to construct a billboard on the same site
that a billboard was removed to facilitate the construction of a
retail commercial center.
The subject property is located on the west side of the 700 south
block of "E" Street, across from the Orange Show Fairgrounds. The
2.4 acre site is currently under construction for the development
of the "silo" retail shopping center. The site is located within
the CG-1, General Commercial, land use zoning district.
BACKGROUND
On October 3, 1967, the City issued a building permit to Pacific
Outdoor advertising to construct a billboard on the subject
property.
On March 7, 1991 Review of Plans No. 90-42 was approved to
construct a 35,000 square foot retail shopping center. The site
plan, as submitted to and approved by the Development Review
Committee, displaced an existing billboard by proposing a building
pad in its location. Shortly after the approval of Review of Plans
No. 90-42, building permits were issued, construction commenced and
the billboard was removed. On July 19, 1991, Gannet Outdoor Co.,
Inc. submitted the application for Conditional Use Permit No. 91-
39, requesting to relocate the sign on the subject property.
On October 29, 1991, the Planning Commission held a properly
noticed public hearing on Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39. The
hearing consisted entirely of a presentation of Staff's analysis
and recommendation; no other persons were present to speak in favor
or in opposition to the proposal. Staff I s discussion primarily
focussed on the finding that the proposal is out of scale and
incompatible with the commercial development on the property, as

Paae 2
well as with the commercial development and renovation occurring
in the surrounding area. Staff stated that the height and size of
the proposed billboard, 59 feet overall height and 672 square feet
in area, is a design appropriate only for high speed, limited
access highways, and is thus out of place on a city street, such
as "E" Street. Staff added that the sign, as proposed, will add to
the visual congestion in the vicinity created by the large number
of nonconforming and abandoned pole signs.
Based on the discussion and in agreement with the staff
recommendation, a motion for denial was made and seconded by a
unanimous vote of the six attending Commissioners (Exhibit B).
On October 30, 1991, Ron Cipriani of Gannet Outdoor Advertising
contacted Staff and explained that a pressing commitment prevented
him from attending the hearing. He explained that he attempted to
contact the Planning Division on October 29 at approximately 4:45
p.m. to inquire about the possibility of a continuance, but the
phones were not being answered. Phones would not be answered at
that time of day because City Hall business hours end at 4:30 p.m.
Mr. Cipriani stated that it was his full intention to be present
at the Planning Commission hearing to go on record as actively
supporting his employers' interests.
On November 6, 1991, the applicant, Gannet Outdoor Co., Inc.,
submitted an appeal of the Planning commission's denial of
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 (Exhibit A).
The appeal of conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 was originally
scheduled to be heard by the Mayor and Common Council on December
2, 1991. At the appellant's ,....quest,-. the item was continued to
January 6, 1992.
At the request of the Mayor, the hearing of the appeal was
continued to February 3, 1992, and staff was directed to pursue
negotiations with the appellant for the removal of two billboards
elsewhere in the City in exchange for the requested on-site
replacement. One of the two billboards in question is located on
the south side of Fifth street, adjacent to the Platt building;
the other is located on the site of a surface mining operation on
the south side of Fourth street, east of Rancho Avenue,
A concern of staff prior to negotiating with the billboard company
was that a replacement billboard on the subject property should be
reduced in height and area from what was originally proposed (59
feet overall height, 672 square feet of sign area). Simply removing
the other two billboards as an exchange is not viewed as adequate
mitigation against the impact of the a full-sized replacement on
the subject property (see Exhibit 0, pp. 3-4). However, when staff

Paae 3
contacted Roberta Sponsler of Gannet Outdoor Co. to discuss the
issue, Ms. Sponsler indicated that a reduction in the size of the
billboard is not acceptable because a smaller sized billboard will
not generate adequate revenue. Hence, no compromise was reached.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL
The Mayor and Common Council May deny the appeal and deny
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39.
OR
The Mayor and Common Council may continue the item, uphold the
appeal, approve Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 in concept and
direct Staff to prepare findings.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of Staff that the 'Mayor and Common Council
deny the appeal and deny Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 based on
the Findings of Fact contained in Exhibit D.

RE: Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39
Dear Mayor Holcomb and Council:
On Tuesday evening, October 29, 1991, the City of San
Bernardino's Planning Commission denied Gannett Outdoor Advertis-
ing Company's request to replace on the same site an outdoor
advertising structure. The location is on the west side of the
700 South block of "E" Street.
Mayor Holcomb, Gannett Outdoor Advertising is appealing that
decision to you and the Common Council. The Development Code
Section 19.22.080(1) permits the replacement of a billboard and
our request is consistent with the Development Code and General
Plan.
Your consideration of this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,

REOUE.ST
Under the authority of Development Code Section 19.22.080(1), the
applicant requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit to
construct a billboard on the same site that a billboard was removed
to facilitate the construction of a retail center.
SITE LOCATION
The subject property is located on the west side of the 700 south
block of "E" Street, across from the oranqe Show Fairqrounds. The
2.4 acre site is currently under construction for the development
of the "Silo" retail shoppinq center. The site is located within
the CG-1, General Commercial, land use zoninq district.
DEVELOPMENT CODE AND GENERAL PLAN CONSISTENCY
The proposed use, ie. the on-site replacement of a billboard, is
consistent with the Development Code and General Plan. Conditions
of approval shall ensure compliance with specific development
standards. Desiqn inconsisency with the General Plan will be
discussed separately in this staff report.
CEOA STATUS
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 has been determined to be exempt
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
under Article 19, Section 15302.
BACKGROUND
On October 3, 1967, the City issued a buildinq permit to Pacific
Outdoor advertisinq to construct a billboard on the subject
property.
On March 7, 1991 Review of Plans No. 90-42 was approved to

commenced and the billboard was removed.
On July 19, 1991, Gannet Outdoor Advertisinq submitted the
application for Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39, requestinq to

ANALYSIS
propo.ed Billboard Loc.tioD
The applicant proposes to locate the sign near the south property
line of the site, abutting the south wall of retail building "B"
(see Attachment C, site Plan). The sign is oriented perpendicular
to "E" street, so that it is visible to northbound and southbound
traffic.
proposed Billboard DeMigD
The proposed sign is 59 feet in overall height with a sign area of
672 square feet. The supporting structure is a 45-foot monopole
with a diameter of four feet. The proposed sign face dimensions are
48 feet in length by 14 feet in height (see Attachment C,
Elevations).
oevelopaeDt Code staDdards
Section 19.22.080(1) of the Development Code allows the on-site
replacement of billboards, subject to the approval of a conditional
use permit. Hence, approval of this application is discretionary
in nature, as are the conditions of approval that the Planning
commission may impose on this project. Additionally, the Code
states that the Commission may impose a condition of approval
requiring the removal of more than one billboard elsewhere in the
City that is owned by the same company that owns the billboard to
be replaced.
While the Development Code sets forth minimum requirements for the
replacement of billboards, the underlying intent is to accommodate
the continuation of a conforming use by allowing for the
replacement of a billboard structure that is in a deteriorating,
unsafe or irreparable condition. The billboard in question was
removed as the result of property owners' business decision to
develop the site in such a manner that the sign was displaced, and
its relocation was not a proposed component of the project. Thus,
it is the opinion of Staff that the City is not compelled to
approve this application.

c~.tibility of Design with Are.
The height and size of the proposed billboard, 59 feet overall
height and 672 square feet in area, is a design appropriate only
for high speed, limited access highways. As such, the sign is out
of scale and out of place on a city street, such as "E" street. The
billboard is also out of scale and incompatible with the design of
the commercial development on the property, as well as with the
commercial development occurring in the surrounding area.
Additionally, the sign, as proposed, will add to the visual
congestion in the vicinity created by the large number of
nonconforming and abandoned pole signs.
st.ff's Design Recommendations
General Plan Policy No. 1.45.3 states tha~ the city shall:
"Establish design standards for billboards which improve their
visual character and compatibility with adjacent uses and
require that all billboards be upgraded to these standards
within five years [as of June 2, 1989]."
Taking these General Plan provisions into account and following
guidelines published by the American Planning Association, as well
as design standards contained in the Development Code, it is the
opinion of Staff that the billboard, if approved, should adhere to
the following specifications:
1. The overall height shall not exceed 33 feet, with a maximum
sign face elevation of 30 feet;
2. The maximum area of the sign face shall be 300 square feet;
3. The maximum height of the sign face shall be 12 feet, the
maximum width shall be 30 feet;
4. The supporting structure shall have a decorative cover; and
5. The overall design of the billboard shall be architecturally
integrated and shall be compatible with the architecture of
the adjoining retail center.
However, 9n August 15, 1991, Ron Cipriani, representative for the
project, indicated that Gannet outdoor Advertising is not willing
to comply with these design standards, nor would the billboard
company be willing to remove other billboards in exchange for
replacing a billboard on the subject property.

C~ents .eceived
No comments have been received as of the writing of this staff
report.
Conclusion
The Development Code contains provJ.sJ.ons to allow the on-site
replacement of billboards subject to the approval of a conditional
use permit. However, the General Plan requires billboard design to
be compatible with adjacent uses, and it is staff's opinion that
the proposed design is incompatible and out of scale with those
uses. The City is not compelled to approve this application: the
property owners themselves chose to displace the previously
existing billboard in order to develop the property for more
intensive uses. If this application is approved, however,
conditions should be imposed that ensure'that the City'S values,
as expressed in the General Plan, are served.
.ecommendation
It is the recommendation of Staff that the Planning Commission deny
Conditional Use Permit No. 91-39 based on the attached Findings of
Fact.

1. Pursuant to Development Code Section 19.22.080(1), the
proposed use is conditionally permitted within the CG-1 land
use district, but does not comply with all of the applicable
provisions of the Development Code in that the setback, as
measured horizontally from the leading edge of the sign face
to the front property line is less than ten feet.
2. The proposed use would impair the integrity and character of
the land use district in which it is to be located in that the
sign is out of scale and is architecturally incompatible with
the adjoining and surrounding structures.
3. The subject site is physically sui~able for the type and
intensity of land use being proposed, as it is possible to
locate the sign on the subject property to meet setback
requirements and not interfere with approved circulation
patterns.
4. The proposed use is not compatible with the land uses
presently on the subject property in that the proposed
billboard dominates the buildings and architecture, and
compromises the image of quality development on the subject
property.
5. The proposed use would not be compatible with existing and
future land uses within the general area in which the proposed
use is to be located in that the physical dominance of the
proposed use will lower the overall perception of quality in
the area.
6. The proposed use is not compatible in scale, mass, coverage
density and intensity with all adjacent land uses, in that the
scale and mass dominates those adjacent uses.
7. There are adequate provisions for water, sanitation and public
utilities and services to ensure that the proposed use would
not be detrimental to public health and safety in that these
provisions have been met under the Conditions of Approval and
Standard Requirements for Review of Plans No. 90-42.
8. There will be adequate provisions for public access to serve
the subject proposal in that the proposed location of the
billboard will not interfere with driveways, parking spaces
or emergency access routes.

10. A market/feasibility study is not required by the General Plan
or Development Code for the type of use proposed.
11. The proposed use is not consistent with the General Plan in
that Policy No. 1.45.8 states that the City shall "prohibit
the use of oversize.. . signs which dominate the building,

12. There will not be significant harmful effects upon
environmental quality and natural ,resources in that the
proposed use is exempt from the provisions of the California

13. The negative impacts of the proposed use cannot be mitigated
because the applicant is unwilling to mitigate those impacts
through the redesign of the billboard.
14. The proposed location, size, design and operating
characteristics of the proposed use would be detrimental to
the public interests, health, safety, convenience or welfare
of the City in that the design and size, as proposed, is out

traffic activity in the vicinity of the subject property.
