PUBLIC HEARING N0. 3
11-18-91
rE: NOVEMBER 18, 1991 - o
TO: WILLIAM A. HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: PRICING INFORMATION ON TEMPORARY BANNER
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council uphold the Planning
Commission's denial of a request to place pricing information on a
temporary banner to be located at 113102 Newport Avenue.
BACKGROUND
On October 28, 1991, the Planning Commission denied the applicant's
request to place pricing information on a temporary banner to be
displayed at 13102 Newport Avenue, 1106, by Minute Order. The
applicant has requested an appeal of the Planning Commission's
decision by the City Council.
The applicant's request is for approval of pricing information to
be displayed on a temporary banner. The subject pricing information
will be placed on a. four feet by twenty feet white banner which
will read, in red letters, "Appetizers, house wine and margaritas
from 99(� Monday through Saturday." The banner will be on the west
elevation of the restaurant, located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Irvine Boulevard and Newport Avenue, addressed as
13102 Newport Avenue.
The applicant has submitted a Temporlary Use Permit application and
fee, as required by Tustin City Code. The applicant was eligible
to have his Temporary Use Permit for a temporary banner approved on
November 3, 1991, in accordance with the Sign Code requirement
allowing banners to be displayed on a quarterly basis with a
Temporary Use Permit. However, his Temporary Use Permit
application will not be approved as submitted until the pricing
information request has been decided by the City Council.
Pricing information on banners is prohibited in the new Sign Code
that will be officially adopted by the City Council in November.
Since the banner requested by this Temporary Use Permit application
will continue to be displayed after the new Sign Code has been
adopted, the Community Development Department requested the
approval of the Planning Commission in order for the Department to
Planning Commission

Report
Information on Banner
authorize the pricing information. Appeal of the Planning
Commission's denial requires then, 'that the Community Development
Department request the approval of the City Council in order for
the Department to authorize the pricing information.
This item does not require a public hearing, therefore no formal
public notification was made. The applicant and property owner
were forwarded copies of the meeting's agenda and staff reports for
this item.
DISCUSSION
After review of the information provided by the applicant, the
Planning Commission felt that it is inappropriate for the Planning
Commission to approve pricing information, given that pricing
information is prohibited by the new Sign Code. To approve this
request would be to encourage othelr requests to vary from the new
Sign Code, and may set precedence to permit other variances.
While there is currently no Code requirement prohibiting pricing
information on temporary banners, it has been the policy of the
Planning Commission to discourage its use.
CONCLUSION
The Community Development Department recommends denial of the
request to authorize pricing information to be placed on a banner.
