RE�OMMENDATIdN: The City Council should hold a public hearing and take action. This request is for a determination that a non- conforming roof sign facing the freeway be allowed to remain in place. Two sets of conditions were proposed for consideration depending upon the selected action. Affirmative action should be taken by resolution so that it can be recorded with the property. Conditions If it is determined that the sign should be removed then: 1. That the roof sign should be removed within ten (10} working days; 2. that an inspection for any required repairs to the parapet or roof shall be called for as soon as the sign is removed; �>�� ,� -�t -n i �:�c � �j � 3. that no occupancy of the building shall be allowed until the removal, necessary repairs and inspection certifying acceptable correction are completed. If it is determined that the sign should be allowed to remain then: 1. that the property owner shall submit wind load and structural engineering calculations for the roof and parapet for plan check to the Building Department within ten (10) working days; 2. that the property owner shall obtain a retroactive building permit and undertake any corrective work and have it inspected by the city within thirty (30) days of submitting an application for a building permit; 3. that the sign shall be one sided, painted o plywood inserted into a metal frame, with an 8' exterior dimension, located on the rear parapet (facing Highway 101) of the structure, and shall be illuminated in any way; /✓Ln�--> �/-c' n �� . .� x 20' �� not 4. that there shall be no occupancy of the building until conditions one and two have been completed to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Inspector; and 5. that the City Council's action shall be taken by resolution so that the entitlement to the roof sign is recorded with the property for future owners. Planning Commission Action At their meeting on February 26, 1996, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted 7-0 to deny the applicants request to retain the non-conforming roof sign because it would be a grant of special privilege not allowed by the code. The commission included the conditions suggested by staff if the action was to deny. In their discussion the commissioners noted the roof sign may have been installed 40 years ago but it is prohibited now, the building was destroyed and the new building should comply with all code requirements; in light of these facts how can it not be a grant of special privilege; the issue is the demolition of the building not the amortization of the sign; the potential tenant who wants the sign, It's It, already has a large sign visible from the freeway nearby. In support commissioners noted that the property owner has suffered a lot of financial loss, the sign has been there a long time, and the sign is not lit. BACK�R6UND: Nicholas Crisafi is requesting, under the appeal provisions of the abandoned, obsolete, unsafe or illegal sign section of the sign code, to keep a roof sign which faces the freeway on his property at 858-868 Burlway Road, zoned O-M. Several months ago this warehouse/office C�(,t,�.. structure was severely damaged �y firee The inside was �� gutted and the roof destroyed. The sign survived the fire �� . although the steel support members attached to the roof were affected. (The sign sits on the parapet and is ��- � partially anchored into it.) The sign is an 8' x 20' (160 ��- SF) single face, piece of painted plywood set in a metal 5�� frame. Originally the sign appears to have been the "can" type interiorly lit with plexiglass faces. The plexiglass has been removed and replaced with painted plywood. There is no lighting at this time. There are no permits on file for the original installation of the sign. The applicant indicates that he believes the sign was installed when the building was built in 1954, before he bought the property. � ,� The shell of the building is presently under L reconstruction. The sign and its support replacements did not appear on the plans submitted and subsequently approved for a building permit to reconstruct the walls and roof. Planning staff noted in their plan check (November 17, 1995) that the roof billboard sign would need to be removed. Since the plans approved showed no supports for the sign or method of installation (wind loading, structural calculations, etc.), construction on the site was red tag when the inspector saw supports for the sign were being attached to the repaired roof. In addition, no welding inspection had been preformed. The work on the roof,including the sign's support attachments, was completed after the stop order. Should the roof sign be allowed to remain, the applicant would have to submit construction drawings and wind load and structural engineering calculations for the parapet and roof, documenting that the design and installation is s safe. In addition, some existing construction on the parapet and roof may have to be rove for inspection to insure that the construction inside and welding conforms to the plans retroactively submitted and approved. The inspector notes that construction in place which does not conform will have to be exposed and repaired. ATTACHMENTS: N.A.
