Town of Gilbert, Arizona decision, portions of the City’s sign regulations are potentially inconsistent with federal law; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to update the sign regulations citywide so that they are consistent with federal law and remove any potentially impermissible content-based distinctions between signs; and WHEREAS, the City has prepared the Amendments to the Municipal Code, including refinements to Chapter 20.360 and sections 6.90.080, 10.36.178, 20.220.011, 20.230.009, 20.240.012, 20.240.013, 20.340.003, 20.350.023, 20.350.028, 20.350.030, 20.350.034, and 20.450.005; and WHEREAS, the Zoning Ordinance was adopted after preparation, circulation, consideration, and adoption of an Initial Study/Negative Declaration (“IS/ND”) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq. (“CEQA”), which IS/ND analyzed the environmental impacts of adopting the Zoning Ordinance and concluded that adoption of the Zoning Ordinance could not have a significant effect on the environment because none of the impacts required to be analyzed under CEQA would exceed established thresholds of significance; and WHEREAS, the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections to the Zoning Ordinance as they relate to signage are minor in nature, the adoption of which would not result in any new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of any previously identified effects beyond those disclosed and analyzed in the IS/ND prepared and circulated for the Zoning Ordinance, nor do the refinements, clarifications, and/or corrections constitute a change in the project or change in circumstances that would require additional environmental review; and WHEREAS, the proposed Amendments are not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed changes and clarifications may have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no further environmental review is required at this time; and WHEREAS, on August 4, 2016 and September 15, 2016, the Planning Commission for the City of South San Francisco held a lawfully noticed public hearing to solicit public comment and consider the proposed Amendments, take public testimony, and make a recommendation to the City Council on the Amendments.

Further, the proposed Amendments to the Municipal Code are not subject to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed changes and clarifications may have a significant effect on the environment.

B. Zoning Amendment Findings 1. The proposed Amendments are consistent with the adopted General Plan and all applicable specific plans because they strengthen and promote those policies related to preserving the character of established neighborhoods (Guiding Policy 2-G-1) and establishing comprehensive design standards and guidelines (Implementing Policy 2-I-7). The proposed Amendments related to the regulation of signs will remain consistent with the City’s General Plan vision for community and economic development and will not impede achievement of any of the goals, policies, or land use designations established in the General Plan. 2. The proposed Amendments related to signs wound not affect any particular subject property. The proposed standards would generally be suitable in terms of ensuring architectural compatibility, consistency with area character, legibility, readability, finish and visibility, and other considerations deemed relevant by the Planning Commission and City Council because the Amendments maintain appropriate performance standards for signs and would be applied to projects on a case-by-case basis to minimize visual impacts. 3.
