In 2007, the City Council adopted a comprehensive revision to the City's Sign Code (Title 22). Since adoption, the City has identified sections of the regulations regarding the placement of monument signs that effectively eliminate the ability for placement of such signs on properties of irregular shape due to past subdivisions of those properties; properties that, due to their configuration (e.g. "flag" lots, "pie -shaped" lots, etc.), require adequate signage to encourage the establishment and vitality of land -uses on these properties; properties meeting this criterion are known to exist within the EI Camino North (ECN) zoning district; and Section 2. In an effort to allow the erection of more effective signage on these properties, the City has determined that it is appropriate to lift the prohibition on the placement of monument signage upon properties with less than 150 -feet of parcel frontage in the ECN district and to establish specific standards for monument signs on properties that meet this criterion. Section 3. Section 22.18.050(c) is amended to read as follows: (c) Freestanding monument signs are prohibited on parcels with a parcel frontage of less than one hundred (150) feet in length, with the following exception: notwithstanding other regulations contained in this section; on properties with a parcel frontage of less than one - hundred fifty (150) feet situated within only the ECN zoning district, one two-sided monument sign with a maximum height of no greater than five (5) feet and a maximum sign area per side of no greater than thirty (30) square feet shall be permitted.
