M. having arrived, Mayor Moty continued the public hearing on the appeal of Use Permit UP -41S-66 and Variance Permit V -11S-66 - Hemsted Village Co. - 105 ft. sign. The City Clerk advised that communications had been received from the California Roadside Council, Leon C. Nelson, D. D. S. , and Alger N. Johanson, upholding the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Planning Consultant Keyes gave a resume of the pertinent letters and testimony pertaining to this appeal which included the following information. Hemsted Village is to be located west of the Freeway, just north of Cypress Avenue, between Bechelli Lane and the Sacramento River. The proposed sign measures 80 ft. to the top of the highest sign face, with an additional 25 ft. extending above for a lighted symbol. The sign includes two sign faces. The top sign face is 12 ft. x 32 ft. , 384 sq. ft; the bottom sign face is 8 ft. x 32 ft. - 256 sq. ft. The bottom sign face is 16 ft. from the ground. Mr. Keyes said the Planning Commission recommended disapproval of the four elements of the application; i. e. , sign in 249 excess of 25 ft. in height and 100 ft. in area; sign in excess of 40 ft. in height in CO -BR District; location of sign within 15 ft. front yard requirement in CO -BR District. Mr. Keyes said it has since been determined that the sign is considered to be a "structure" and not a ''building", thus the variance request for a sign in excess of 40 ft. in height in a CO -BR District is not required. It was later brought out by the applicant that they do not intend to place the sign within the 15 ft. front yard require- ment; therefore the variance request can be dismissed and the only matter before Council is the Use Permit Appeal. Mr.. Keyes reviewed the reasons for the action of the Planning Commission in denying the use permit application which are set forth in the Commission's memo to Council dated October 4, 1966. Councilman Chatfield asked Mr. Keyes if the permit for the Montgomery Ward sign was granted by the Planning Commission and was told it was. The height of said sign is 74 ft. The following persons appeared before Council upholding the Commission's action. The basis for their feelings is their desire to preserve the natural characteristics and beauty of the area and their fear of the erection of numerous other high signs if this appeal is granted: Bill Woodward, Beverly Arness, Mrs. Robert Korn, Pastor Mortvedt, Richard Maddalena (read note from Mrs. Pauline Abbe also), Dr. Vernon Gee, Dr. Kelly Pierce, Ted Klas.een. Mrs. Korn submitted two architectural renderings, one showing a multitude of signs and the other without signs. Persons favoring the high sign who appeared before Council include: Frank Kennedy, Lee Bray, E. V.. Anderson, Maurice .Finn, and.Ros.coe Anderson. These persons all voiced the need for getting the tourists off the freeway. Mention was made of the recent high signs installed by the .Union Oil and Gulf Oil Company, permission having been granted by Shasta, County. , _f. 1 - . I. , Russell Bales appeared on behalf of the Hems,tedNillage.Company and submitted a sign elevation study showing visibility of their proposed sign from various points on the freeway. Mr. Bales re- iterated that Hemsted Village Company believes the,sign is necessary to insure the success of its venture. He explained the Hemsted Village complex which will.comprise a coffee shop and dining room, .a motel consisting of ---124 units, cocktail lounges, .and iconvention facilities for 400., The installation will cover approximately 10 acres, all of which are within the City limits. James Hull, Chairman. of the Redding Planning Commission, said that a statement had been made at the last Council meeting that this application must be judged under the present law; however, if this high sign is allowed, he feels this decision will weigh heavily on the Planning Commission in its consideration of the new sign. ordinance. Mr. Hull commented that other applicants can make the same allega- tions regarding the need for high signs and it is felt.that all appli- cants should be treated fairly. The Commission universally is in favor of advertising and helping the businesses in the City of Redding but feels it should be done on a community rather than an individual basis. Mr. Hull further stated that the sub. -committee of the Commission did recommend a sign 49-1/2 ft. in h.eight for the applicant but the rappli-cant wanted a 105 ft, sign and indicated a compromise was not acceptable: , The -Commission does not feel that what the County.does in.th.e way, of granting permits for high signs is suitable criteria as to what the City should do. The highest and largest signs granted by the Commission are located in the commercial districts of the City, whereas the applicant is in a 250 CO -BR District. He indicated his belief that it would be improper for the City to use sign policies in an attempt to equalize property values. Planning Commissioner B runnemeie r commented on the surge tank located on the east bank of the 'Sacramento River and its lack of beauty. It was estimated that this tank is approximately 80 ft. high. He feels the applicant has not shown a real need for the 105 ft. sign. Dr. Brunnemeier feels the beauty of Redding lies in its setting and it should not be marred with high signs. Planning Commis sioner�Bailey stated that Redding has been selected by the State as a "target city", along with Portland, Sacramento, and San Francisco, and the name "Redding" appears on twenty-one highway signs coming north to Redding so the tourist is well aware of the City of Redding. Planning Commissioner Stathem stated that the Commission was unanimous in concluding that a substantial hardship had not been demonstrated for the particular sign and in finding.that approval would not be appropriate. MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Denny, that the public hearing be closed. The Vote Unanimous Ayes Councilman Doherty asked if the Commission had given consideration to the location near the freeway and to the type of business. Mr. Hull said yes, and that the Commission has considered that perhaps businesses might be banded together and one high sign be used; however, it is difficult to find a criteria that would be fair to everyone Councilman Doherty asked Mr. Bales if, because. of topography, they would not gain 10 ft. by relocation of the sign 200 ft. or more north on higher ground. Mr. Bales and Mr. Robinson indicated this might be true but it would place the sign too far away from the ingress and egress to their complex and would require its re- design. Councilman Chatfield commented that there is no clear cut pattern in freeway studies or their effects on business, and he does not think that one sign for 10 acres is an over- saturation. Mr. Chatfield indicated that with the variance request being dismissed the three criteria required under that section of the Code no longer applies and he feels that the profile demonstrates that the sign proper is no higher than the Montgomery Ward sign, although the embellishment is ques- tionable. He questioned granting a 74 ft. permit to.Montgomery Ward with no appeal and yet denying a permit to this applicant. He feels the City does have to grant advertising signs adjacent to the freeway and that the applicant has shown that the sign is necessary due to visibility. Councilman Doherty said he thinks the City can preserve the aesthetics of the area and yet give consideration to the economy of the community; the job of Council is to find a compromise between the 25 ft. height limit which is the present law and the 105 ft. sign requested by the applicant. Councilman Denny said he felt that the arguments favoring the high sign had been presented effectively and he had nothing more to add. Councilman Fulton agreed with Mr. Denny. 1 1 251 Planning Commissioner Stathem said that .even though Council is not establishing policy tonight, it. is .in fact setting a precedent. Councilman Chatfield said he was hardpressed to understand that Council is establishing a precedent when the Commission did not set a precedent in granting a 74 ft. sign to Montgomery Ward. Councilman Doherty, indicated that,he felt if Council granted a sign at this height it would be plowing new ground as under the. existing law the 74 ft.- Montgomery.War.d sign is the highest sign granted. to date.
