James Rourke, City Attorney, added that the applicant had not claimed the type of hardship which State law required for granting any kind of variance. The type of variance requested by the applicant was a use variance which was expressly prohibited by State law and there was no basis upon which the Council could validly grant a variance or take any other action to approve relocation of the billboards. Council/City Attorney discussion followed regarding amendment of the Tustin City Code as it. pertains to billboards and ~hat parties would challenge existing laws. Mayor Kennedy opened the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m. The following members of the community spoke in favor of denying the subject appeal: Guido Borges, 2182 Dogwood Road, Tustin Shirley Ruff, 14761 Foxcroft Road, Tustin The following members of the community spoke in opposition to denying the subject appeal: Gary Mobley, 5 Park .Plaza, Irvine (attorney r~presenting the applicant) Eugene Tutt, 1501 Nisson Road, Tust%n (applicant) There were no other speakers on the subject and the Public Hearing was closed at 7:45 p.m.. It was moved by P~es~ott, seconded by Kelly, to overrule the Planning Commission,s decision and approve Variance No. 89-1. Mayor Pro Tem Edga~ said he had a dilemma between making .the City of Tustin an attractive community, the exclusion of billboards would contribute to that achievement, and he was also a strong believer in property rights. He felt the issue of whether or not the signs were properly grandfathered during annexation gave a level of property rights to Mr. Tutt that should not be ignored. CITY COUNCIL MINUT Page 3, 5-15-89 · Councilman Kelly believed that, for inf~rmational purposes, the signs were necessary to inform the population oft_he Tustin Auto Center and Tustin Marketplace. The billboards had become part of the natural landscape and served a very usefulpurpose. Mayor Kennedy stated the Widening of the I-5 Freeway was the only reason the billboards were under condemnation and the City had allowed, the billboards to remain after annexation until a change in use or new use was requested. She noted the following reasons for her opposition to the billboards: a use variance had been identified as illegal by the City Attorney, the Council was not permitted to grant a use that was in violation of the State law, the Council would be in violation of State law by allowing a billboard on a landscaped freeway, "spot zoning" could liable the City and would set a precedent leading to extensive use of billboards in Tustin, and decreased property values. She said she would fight fiercely to defeat this variance. Councilman Prescott thought Tustin was an All American City which could accommodate various uses and, if the variance was granted, would decreasethe number of billboards in the City from four to three. A vote of 2-2 resulted in no action on the moti05, Kennedy and Edgar opposed, Hoesterey absent. James Rourke advised the matter would be in abeyance for 60 days from the date of the Planning Commission,s action and, if no further action was taken by the City Council, the Planning Commission's decision would be final at the end of the 60 days.

The following member of the community spok~ i~ ~ opposition to the above staff recommendation:'' Caroie Bryant, 15500 Tustin Village Way, Tustin Mayor Pro Tem Edgar said he had a great amount of respect for the voters and their ability to determine what was best for the City. When an incumbent could no longer perform the duties, he believed the voters would decide appropriately. Councilman Kelly responded that if Mayor Pro Tem Edgar respected the will of the voters then he should support the i~itiative process. Councilman Kelly encouraged the proponent of the initiative to proceed and he recommended that the City Attorney, whose opinion had probably been drafted upon the recommendation of the Council majority, not in~erfere with the initiative process. Councilman Prescott noted an earlier conversation with the City Attorney regarding three General Law cities in Orange County where term limitation initiatives had qualified for the.ballot and he had requested a legal' opinion from the City Attorney as to why this was legal elsewhere. He stated that 98.5% of the incumbents were reelected and the democracy would be more representational and healthier if less incumbents were returned to office. It was mo~ed b~ Prescott. seconded bv Kelly, that in November of 1990the city council place on the ballot a referendum requesting citizen approval of a non-retroactive, 12-year City Council term limitation.

In reference tothe other cities with term limitations, it was his ~.~.~. ~ coUNCIL MINUTES Page 8, 5-15-89 XII. understanding ~hat the City Attorneys in those cities had some doubt about the validity of term-limiting ordinances. Mr. Rourke informed the Council that the California Court of Appeals, in an · opinion published this date,'had expressly ruled and held that a General Law City may not enact a term limitation ordinance and what the Council cannot do, neither can the electorate do. Mayo~ Kennedy commented, even though she would be adhering to the' legal ~dvice, that during her terms of service with different Councils, she had known Councilmembers so valuable to the community, in knowledge and energy, that it would be a tremendous loss to limit their terms. She had also seen Councilmembers so lacking in knowledge, understanding and dedication to the people, they should not serve one term. Additionally, she believed the two-term limit would give power to the professional staff, which she did not feel was right and for those reasons was cautious regarding term limitations. As a substitute motion, it wag moved by Pre~cott, seconded ~, to place On the ballot an advisory initiative changing the City from General Law to Charter Law. A brief Council ~iscussion followed regarding the negative and'' positive aspects of General Law vs. Charter Law.
