City Council

11. A request for consideration of a Zoning Text Amendment to repeal and replace Subchapter 153.170 pertaining to Sign Regulations in the City of Baldwin Park to include new language regarding new static or digital billboard construction and billboard relocation agreements, incorporation of previously approved sign regulations that were not codified, and reorganization of the chapter as a whole. (Location: Citywide; Applicant: City of Baldwin Park; Case Number: AZC 24-02). It is recommended that the City Council 1. Conduct a public hearing. 2. Find the proposed ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). Specifically, the ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exception) since the ordinance is not a “project” and can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment, either directly or indirectly, and that therefore no environmental review under CEQA is required. 3. Introduce for first reading, by title only and waive further reading, Ordinance 1510, entitled, “AN ORDINANCE OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK REPEALING AND REPLACING SECTION 153.170 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO SIGN REGULATIONS TO INCLUDE NEW LANGUAGE REGARDING NEW STATIC OR DIGITAL BILLBOARD CONSTRUCTION AND BILLBOARD RELOCATION AGREEMENTS, INCORPORATION OF PREVIOUSLY APPROVED SIGN REGULATIONS THAT WERE NOT CODIFIED, AND REORGANIZATION OF THE CHAPTER AS A WHOLE
