SIGNS AND MONUMENT SIGNS PURSUANT TO GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION 65858
The City Council of the City of San Juan Capistrano hereby ordains as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
The City Council adopted urgency ordinance 920 on May 9, 2007 for the purpose
of establishing interim rules governing the approval and installation of building -mounted
and monument signs pending the completion of a planning study.
Additional time will be necessary to complete the planning study and possible
enactment of permanent sign regulations with respect to such signing. Accordingly, the
City Council finds it is necessary to extend ordinance 920 for a period of 180 days.
' Section 2. Extension of Ordinance 920.
Urgency Ordinance 920 is hereby extended for a period of 180 days pursuant to
Government Code section 65858.
Section 3. Statutory Findings.
The City Council finds and determines that there is a current and immediate
threat to the public health, safety, and general welfare in that existing building mounted
sign regulations allow excessively large sign size area, too many signs, potentially
excessive lighting, and only minimal building locational restrictions and that the effect
from these rules has been the issuance of signage in some instances to have caused
adverse visual blighting conditions within the community; further that approval of further
sign programs, sign permits, or building permits relating to building mounted signs
without a additional regulatory review as provided for in this interim ordinance would
result in a threat to the public health, safety, and general welfare. These findings are
made pursuant to Government Code section 65858.
Section 4. Effective Date.
Pursuant to Government Code section 65858, this urgency ordinance shall take
' effect immediately.
