FROM: THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE SUBJECT: COUNCIL C0.111NtUNICATIC August 6, 1987 NO. CONSIDER EXTENSION OF MORATORIUM, ON THE ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS FOR CONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION OF OFF -PREMISES SIGNS WITHIN THE CITY OF LODI PREPARED BY: City Attorney RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the Council, by a four-fifths vote, extend for six months., the moratorium on the issuance of building permits for the construction or reconstruction of off -premises signs within the City of Lodi. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On August 6, 1986, pursuant to Government Code Section 65858, Council adopted Ordinance No. 1387 establishing a twelve-month moratorium on the issuance of building permits for construction or reconstruction of off -premises signs as defined in Lodi Municipal Code Section 17.63.370 within the City of Lodi, so that the sign requirements could be reviewed and improved. Council is now asked to consider extending this moratorium for a period of six months. The extension of the moratorium will provide the necessary time for staff to complete a draft sign ordinance which ''requires a number of public hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council, as well as a review by Jones and Stokes of Sacramento, consultants. This review is indicated because the Council, in updating of the City's general plan, has included an aesthetic element, and in order to properly evaluate the draft sign ordinance, it should be reviewed for consistency with the aesthetic element. Further, the Assistant Planner who was working with the City Attorney on the development of the draft sign ordinance, moved away from the City, and the Community Development Director now has taken on this responsibility, along with his numerous additional responsibilities.
