City Council Staff Report December 9 2002 • It is proposed that the enforcement of the sign ordinance regarding temporary type signs (sandwich boards) be held in abeyance until the appropriate sections of the code (Zoning Code, Section 28 -1801, Sign Provisions Article 18, Prohibited Signs 2 , (f)) are reviewed dunng the City's municipal code review process This will separate the issues and allows the decision making process to move forward since the intent behind regulations for signs versus allowing a bench are quite different • It is proposed that available news -rack locations be identified during the inventory process mentioned above Once located, Council may review marked field locations and a meeting with news -rack vendors can begin The news -rack ordinance can be adopted as agreed upon dunng the Council study sessions on municipal code revisions • It is proposed that the Public Works Department install items such as bike racks, trash cans or any other requested items from time to time by Council that will replace those supplied by the property owners Staff wherever possible will notify and work with affected business owners • It is proposed that outdoor dining not be allowed as a new encroachment FISCAL IMPACT Proceeding with this policy and conducting an enforcement action regarding the existing encroachments may result in allocation of staff and City Attorney resources not currently allocated for these work tasks It is unknown at this time as to the amount of staff resources that may be required to respond to the direction of the City Council Upon direction being given by the City Council, staff will provide an estimate of the staff allocations necessary to complete the desired action of the City Council RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt a Council Policy regarding the encroachments within the Main Street Specific Plan area '°`� NOTED D APPRO, 'ED A O Doug as A Dancs, P E , Director Jo t.

Minutes - December 9 2002 Vote on the motion to receive and file the staff report AYES Antos Campbell Doane Larson Yost NOES None Motion carried MAIN STREET ENCROACHMENT POLICY The City Manager noted that some changes were made to the Policy that staff would like to review with the Council The Director of Public Works stated that the intent of this item is to establish regulations for sidewalks on Main Street a sidewalk is a place to walk place to gather and the aesthetics of a downtown are determined by what trees benches and planters are placed within them a minimum sidewalk is generally about five feet wide Seal Beach has twelve foot wide sidewalks which leaves seven feet to place such amenities The reason for this Council has received complaints from some residents and business owners relating to the nature of what was taking place on Main Street during the budget hearings staff was requested to look into the concerns in August a draft policy was presented to Council in October public outreach Questionnaires were distributed to the businesses he and the City Manager attended a Chamber of Commerce meeting and held an additional meeting in November the responses received were provided the attendees with the packet The Director said one of the things that came forth from the November meeting which is somewhat separate from the Main Street Encroachment Policy was the temporary signs currently there is an ordinance in place that does not allow the City Engineer to issue permits for such signs staff received verbal opposition as well as requests to cleanup the area of the signs that leaves the Council a decision point to either enforce the existing ordinance or to refer it back to the Planning Commission to revise the ordinance that exists He noted that some of the public comments received have now been included in the Policy The Director explained that initially a rental charge was proposed that was looked at as a self - enforcing mechanism currently there is a rental charge for such things as dumpsters in the public right -of -way of about $1 per day there were a number of public comments against a rental charge therefore the recommendation is that there be no rental charge and instead that an application and inspection fee be adopted the intent is to bring the application and inspection fee to Council in January as well as possibly an after- the -fact grandfather clause at no cost for what currently exists then for any new encroachments charge the application /inspection fee Another point is that there was no desire to stanaardlze aesthetics there was no real consensus as to how things should look some people want standardization some do not there were comments as to the unique character of the town staff is currently recommending that there not be standardized aesthetics otherwise staff will become somewhat of a defacto art source therefore if the encroachments tihether it be a bench planter or whatever meet the location standards they would be approved through the encroachment permit process Another issue is the temporary encroachments initially they were proposed to be handled under a special Page Twenty - City Council Minutes - December 9 2002 activity permit similar to a sidewalk sale permit the special event policy allowed up to six events in any given year and that would be the recommendation of staff for temporary encroachments As to outdoor dining the public response was evenly split, that would be allowed only if directed to draft a separate ordinance for that encroachment with a recommendation for a public hearing The Director noted that the last and most basic issue that staff is desirous of instituting is location standards sidewalks are basically a five foot walk zone Main Street sidewalks are twelve feet so five feet should be free for pedestrians to walk through also allow an aisleway for a car that allotis a person exit their car without walking to the back of another car and enter upon the sidewalk a clear distance from infrastructure light poles trees etc is also wanted ingress and egress from buildings was looked at to assure that they are clear and meet the UBC the height of encroachments was looked at as well an example would be the hanging of a flag or other item from a building in that case there would need to be enough clearance to do so about eight feet Councilmember Campbell made reference to page three of the staff report item 3, relating to temporary encroachments not to exceed more than six times per any calendar year to which she asked if that meant six times on an individual basis, not events designated by the City staff responded in the affirmative With regard to item 2 standardization of aesthetics Councilmember Campbell asked if there would be any type of benchmark The Public Works Director referred to pictures at the end of the staff report of basic standard benches as well as the wrap- around benches mentioned during a prior meeting benches come in a number of styles the intent is to not stifle creativity, as an example one restaurant has cantilevered benches, those would not fit into any standard that the staff would suggest yet they would not be encroachments that would not be allowed there could also be a wood bench with iron railings there could be concrete benches there were comments from the public that they did not want a Council policy for certain things and did not want street furniture to be cookie cutter The Director suggested that there could be some criteria such as designate certain benches as allowable then let people bring forth something of their personal choice Councilman Antos noted that the Public Works Department and the Planning Department have been working on the newsrack issue, accoraing to information provided in the past there woula be locations determined to be acceptable, and inquired if staff will be doing the same thing with this proposal look at Main Street and determine the areas that would be generally acceptable for benches etc as opposed to waiting until someone approaches the City The response was that it was not the intention or staff to designate locations along the Street there are businesses that have already placed benches and there are other businesses that have not expressed an interest in having a bench but could Councilman Antos asked it benches would be located in such a way that they would be interspersed so that they do not become in effect outside Page Twenty -One - City Council Minutes - December 9 2002 dining or where a business comes in and wants to put benches on both sides of the walkway which again becomes defacto dining The Director responded that it looks as if with the twelve foot width of the sidewalks there could not be two benches facing each other because they would need to be eighteen inches from the curb face and in front of the bench up to two feet of space would be needed then the five feet of space would need to be maintained, however there is nothing in the Policy that would prevent someone from having three benches in a row provided they met the five foot criteria Councilman Antos said whatever criteria is adopted by the Council he tiould like to see some maximum limitation on concentration of benches in any area he would not like to see the ADD, area of walkway be the only open area along the Street and when people park in the stalls there is no way to access the vehicles The Director said the standards could be adjusted the criteria is for two feet on each side of the stalls to allow the public ingress and egress from their vehicles therefore benches could not be lined that woula block car access there could be curbside bencnes provided the stalls were not blocked or access from the parking space onto the property Councilman Antos inquired if staff is looking for a general Council policy as to what to do about things that do not have permits such as the A -frame signs outside displays etc , noted that there are existing policies and ordinances that prohibit them, he would see no reason to change that he could also see a problem with regulating them if there were a proposal to change current Code from his point of view he would support enforcing the current ordinance requirements As a point of clarification with regard to comments made during the Public Comment period references were basically to sidewalk sale types of activities Councilman Doane said rrom his reading he felt it meant there would be a limit of six events per year overall not an individual activity rather a planned activity of the Chamber or someone else the objections he heard seemed to be that some businesses are being conducted that wa3, now and all of the time The Director of Development Services confirmed that they are and there are no permits for such activity what is being suggested is that under a special activity permit an individual business could make application up to six times a year Mayor Larson offered that it seems there are three different Main Streets there are the people that have been here for forty years that think it looks one way what it looks like to people walking the Street with fresh eyes, the third is what it will be when an encroachment policy is adopted his preference would be that it return to what it was forty years ago a nice homey informal Street however with the option that if the Street starts to look too sterile the policies can be changed Councilman Antos agreed Councilman Yost said he is somewhat torn on this issue he has been contacted by people who are unhappy with the current sidewalk sale atmosphere of the Street with card tables etc on the other hand there are those who compliment the town as a beautirul little place some of the things that exist are chat gives the area its charm some or the more tasteful 5 - frames for instance that draw Page Twent -Two - City Council Minutes - December 9 2002 people to businesses that may be somewhat hidden to him that adds to the homey feeling having the different styles of benches adds to the same type of feeling it would be nice if some of the current practices could be cleaned up to some degree the card tables with merchandise as an example is somewhat of a problem yet he would not be all that anxious to change the atmosphere, possibly there is some compromise his preference would be to keep Seal Beach the way it is maybe some small changes and acknowledged positively the statement that to make only two changes a year would be fine Councilman Antos stated that there is no way to control the A- frames and since there has basically been a policy of ignoring them unless there is a complaint the number of such signs have grown the Public Works Director has indicated that the proposed policy would be that if someone wants to have a flag a banner or sign that is elevated about eight feet put it up in the morning that would not obstruct people walking down the sidewalk as it would be affixed to the building yet the A- frames are there and continue to grow in number similar to the newsracks Councilman Yost noted that it is said that the economy is improving he has not seen that and he would not want to put people out of business or make their cost of doing business greater Councilman Doane expressed his opposition to anything that takes away from the merchants ability to do business yet with good taste Councilman Antos moved to support the proposal of staff with the option of reconsidering after a period of time if the Street becomes sterile looking and direct staff to enforce the ordinances relative to temporary structures within the public right -of -way Mayor Larson seconded the motion Councilman Yost moved a substitute motion to continue this issue for a period of two months Councilman Doane seconded the motion To the question of for what purpose the response of Councilman Yost was to obtain more information learn more about the proposals suggesting too a town hall meeting in the Council Chambers for some resident input in addition to the meeting that was held with the businesses to possibly develop some compromises Councilman Doane expressed belief that the Council is somewhat in agreement as to benches etc possibly separate out the A -frame signs to which there seems to be the most ob2ection Councilmember Campbell noted that there are five issues tiith which people seem to have concern and with a variety of opinions they may need to be dealt tiith one by one Councilman Antos stated that the only way he would vote to continue anything relative to the A -frame signs is if a definitive report kith court cases from the City Attorney as to the liability of the City if those signs are allowed to remain Mayor Larson noted that the two month period would put the issue past the holiday season which would be important to the businesses Page Twenty -Three - City Council Minutes - December 9 2002 The Mayor restated the substitute motion to hold this item over for a period of two months The maker and second of the motion accepted an amendment to direct the City Attorney to prepare a report relative to potential liabilities associated with A -frame signs etc AYES Antos Campbell Doane Larson Yost NOES None Motion carried PUBLIC HEARING - APPEAL - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT 02 -16/ HEIGHT VARIATION 02 -5 - 1210 ELECTRIC AVENUE - GHAZARIAN Mayor Larson declared the public hearing open to consider the appeal of Planning Commission approval of Conditional Use Permit No 02 -16 and Height Variation 02 -5 relating to 1210 Electric Avenue The City Clerk certified that notice of the public hearing had been advertised and mailed as required by law reported receipt of two written communications one gated November 10th another submitted at this meeting copies or which were provided the Council also noted that additional communications had been presented directly to the individual members of the Council The Director of Development Services presented the staff report this being an appeal of the Planning Commission approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a major addition /remodel of a nonconforming fourplex structure located at 1210 Electric Avenue as well as an accompanying Height Variation application to allow a covered roof access stairway to the roof deck proposed for the second story addition of the major expansion The Director reported that the Planning Commission considered this matter under public hearing on November 6th, after deliberations determined to approve both the Conditional Use Permit and the Height Variation on a four to one vote the Council packet contains a copy of the appeal as well as the two adopted Planning Commission Resolutions Commission stair report minutes and letters submitted to the Commission The Director noted that as part of the appeal there were a number of issues raised to which staff has provided a summary table of a brief overview of every minor plan review or conditional use permit approved for expansion of nonconforming residential structures between 1985 and the present a second summary sets forth the various ordinances adopted by the City from 1978 to current time the initial ordinance shown is prior to the downzoning of the Old Ton area to show what the pre\/ious aensities allowed goes through all of the various aensity standards for the Old Town area also the various amendments to the nonconforming expansion provisions of the Code adopted between 1978 ana current time The Director explained that the Planning Commission approved the mayor expansion to the single story unit located at 1210 Electric Avenue the house subject to the proposed expansion was constructed in the mid -1960 s in 1969 approvals were granted to construct the attached three unit apartment complex and four garage spaces that are provided on the property He noted that the provisions of the Code relating to nonconforming expansions at this time have two different processes that an applicant can City Council Staff Report December 9 2002 Attachment 2 Attachment 2 December 9 ouncd Agenda Report

Department of Public Works SUBJECT MAIN STREET ENCROACHMENT PERMIT POLICY SUMMARY OF REQUEST The proposed City Council action will adopt a Council Policy regarding issuance of encroachment permits in the Main Street Specific Plan area BACKGROUND Seal Beach sidewalks within the Main Street Specific Plan Area are a desirable place to walk, stroll and enjoy the downtown area Pedestrian related concerns are a prionty in the creation of a successful downtown Tounsm, events, and daily business all create pedestrian traffic Public sidewalks are to provide safe unobstructed passage whenever possible but also allow streetscape amenities that enliven and support the public domain There are numerous encroachments within the sidewalk area that have nevei been officially permitted Some of these encroachments pose potential liability while otheis enhance the experience of pedestrians and visitors to the downtown area This policy is a natural progression for regulating all the encioachinents within a heavily traveled pedestrian area The following is a timeline of events regarding this issue June /July 2002 Council requests policy regarding encroachments on Main Street dunng Budget Hearings August 2002 Council presented with draft policy dunng Council Study Session September /October Public Outreach Questionnaires distributed to Main Street 2002 businesses October 2002

Separate from the encroachment policy, at the November 2002 public meeting, many attendees strongly voiced their dissatisfaction with direction received from Council to enforce the current regulations of the sign code Article 18, Section 28 -1801, (f) prohibits portable signs (i e sandwich board type signs) within the City both on private and public property Many of these signs are within the public nght of way and m conflict with the location standards that are set forth in the proposed policy This issue is separate from the policy As it now stands, the City Engineer cannot legally issue permits for tempoiary signs within the nght of way since this would be in violation of the sign ordinance If Council desires that business owners be allowed to place signs either on public, private, or both, the current ordinance must be changed It is recommended after public input on this item that Council either assert their intent that Staff enforce the existing ordinance or alternatively direct Staff to change the existing sign ordinance If allowed by ordinance on public property, these signs would need to be placed in accordance with the location standards promulgated by this policy The encroachment policy would be changed at the time of adoption of a revised sign ordinance Main Street Enci oachment Policy Staff received significant public comment regarding encroachments on Main Street The following changes are recommended by staff to the draft policy 1 Do not charge an annual r ental charge but adopt an application and inspection fee 2 Do not standai dine enci oachments aesthetics 3 Allow tempor aiy enci oachments (excluding signs) undei a special activity pei Writ not to exceed moi e than six tunes pei any given calendai yeai 4 Once a City Council Ordinance has been established only allow outdooi dining after a public hear ing 5 Only allow enci oachments that ai e in confoi mance with location standai ds 1 Do not charge an annual rental charge but adopt application and inspection fee Onginally, Staffs intention for the rental charge was not to collect additional revenue but rather let the rental charge act as a self - enforcing mechanism to allow for only those encroachments that business owners strongly believed would be beneficial Additionally, the City Engineer issues Temporary Street Obstruction Permits, "Dumpster Permits," for use of the public right of way for up to 45 days The fees for this permit amount to about a $1 per day of use and many cities charge on a square foot basis for use of the street DD CM 12 09 02 Main Street Encroachment Pohc\ 2 Cit>> Council Staff Repoli Deceinbei 9 2002 Additionally by not charging a rental charge, the City is allowing public space to be used for private gain such as when outdoor dining is allowed The public strongly voiced their opposition regarding this issue After le- evaluation, it is recommended that a rental charge only be instituted if outdoor dining is allowed as an allowable enci oachment 1 here will need to be a one -time application deposit to cover the cost of evaluating the type of encroachment, whether its location is rn confonnance with the standards, and processing the application Once the policy is adopted, a fee will be brought before Council for approval in January 2003 2 Do not standai da :e enci oachments aesthetics From various public input received, there is no clear consensus from the public regarding standardization of street furniture Many people voiced their opinions that standards create the `Disneyland" approach and would ruin the small town atmosphere of the town by reducing creativity Questions were raised would there be standards for every type of encroachment such as planters, bike racks, and benches Aesthetic standards work when there is a clear vision for an area Since this is not the case, it is recommended that the vanous types of encroachments be allowed as long as they can be placed within the location standards set forth by the City Engineer This will prevent Staff from becoming a de -facto "design review board " 3 Allow tempo/ at); enci oachments (excluding signs) under a special activity pet mit not to exceed moa e than sag tames pea any given calendar Since it would be difficult and costly to enforce any type of regular temporary encroachment policy, encroachments that are of a temporary nature such as moveable furniture, merchandise, tables, chairs, displays are proposed not to be allowed within the public right of way unless otherwise allowed by ordinance or special event permit subject to the location standards This allows business owners to still hold sidewalk sales and event sales but leaves the sidewalk less cluttered Results from the questionnaire were strongly in favor of allowing sidewalk sales under this type of regulation The questionnaire revealed that people have differing ideas about how many tines these events should occur Fourteen out of the eighteen respondents or 78% would not like to see sidewalk sales held more than quarterly Attendees at the public meeting voiced their opposition to this matter and that the current practice of daily merchandise should be maintained The current special activity permit policy allows for up to six events per any given calendar year Since there is no consensus, it is recommended that this policy stay in place for this type of event DD CM 12 09 02 Main Street Encroachment Polio 3 Crti Council Staff Repoi t December 9 2002 4 Once a Citl Council Oidinance has been established only allow outdooi dining aftei a public healing is held From the questionnaire and public input there was no clear consensus on whether to allow outdoor dining within the public nght of way Since this use would most likely iequne a sepal ate oidinance and be approved after a public hearing, it should not be allowed until such time directed by Council and would not be allowed under this policy 5 Only allow enci oachnzents that ai e in confoi mance with location standai ds Since the sidewalk is only 12 feet wide and includes vanous existing fixtui es such as trees, light poles, bus stops, hydrants, and newspaper racks the Engineenng Division has developed location standards to ensure that proper clearances are met for pedestrian travel, conformance with Amencan Disability Act requirements, and reduction of liability These are identified in the attached Standard SB -140 -1 SIDEWALK ENCROACHMENTS IN MAIN STREET SPECIFIC PLAN AREA These include access aisle ways so people, including those in wheelchairs, can move along the sidewalk freely, clearances so cars cannot hit or overtop encroachments, people can access the sidewalk without walking in back of other cars, access for fire hydrants and other public works improvements Aenal encroachments, except for signs, that cantilever ovei the public nght of way such as flags aie allowed under this policy as long as there is an 8 -foot cleaiance for pedestrians Next Steps If Council is interested in pursuing this issue further, the following schedule is proposed Adopt Policy and Implement En for cement in Phases Adopt Application and Inspection Fee January 2003 Main Street Pacific Coast Highway to 1 month Electric Avenue Main Street Electnc Ave to Central Ave 1 month Main Street Central Ave to Ocean Ave 1 month FISCAL IMPACT Proceeding with this policy and conducting an enforcement action regarding the exis *ing encroaclunents will result in allocation of staff and City Attorney resouices not currently allocated for these work tasks It is unknown at this time as to the amount of staff resources that may be required to iespond to the diiection of the City Council DD CM 12 09 02 Main Street Encioachment Policy 4 City Council Staff Repo? t December

Yost Absent None Also present Mr Bahorski City Manager Mr Bairow, City Attorney Mr Whittenberg Director of Development Services Mr Dancs, Director of Public Works /City Engineer Ms Yeo, City Clerk COUNCIL STUDY SESSION The Director of Public Works explained that what is being presented is a proposed policy for Main Street encroachments the Engineering Division is currently not issuing permits foi encroachments into the public right -of- way but there may have been permits in past years on a non - regular basis, the intent is to create an area where there can be encroachments yet allow for safe access for pedestrians He noted that staff is looking at about eight different issues, such as where wil the encroachments be allowed, what type of encroachments will be allowed, how much will be charged for the application, will the City charge an appropriate rental fee for use of the public right -of -way by the,private business, will temporary encroachments be allowed, will the City use proactive Code enforcement on encroachments such as temporary signs that are currently in the right -of -way under existing City Code outdoor dining, and catilever projections over the public right -of -way The Director mentioned that this process started with creating a location standard as a result of going through the ADA access guidelines, talking with the building official as to ingress and egress to buildings, staff looked at everything possible that could be a liability that in order to create a safe travel walkway for pedestrians, an ADA walk zone is mentioned in the standard which is about five feet wide, that is what ADA calls for in order nor two wheelchairs to pass each other, there is a twelve foot wine sidewalk therefore that leaves approximately seven feet for encroachments on either side, a three foot area remains open around a light pole fire hydrant, any type of public works structure that is for the purpose of maintenance etc a one and a half foot area is proposed for the frontage of cars as there are no bumper stops and it is important that the overhang of cars not encroach over the csrb area where it could possibly knock over a bench or other structure it is also desired that pedestrians have the ability to exit their car in a two foot area where the parking spaces intersect this Page Two - City Council Minutes - Augast 12 2002 allows car passengers to leave the vehicle without walking around the rear of the car He pointed out the ten foot zone on each side of a crosswalk the reason for that is that an 8 43 percent minimum slope is needed and minimum 2 percent crossfall yet still maintain the five foot pedestrian isleway and landing area, with that information in mind, it is felt that most of the Main Street encroachments could be accommodated yet they would be spread out more The Public Works Director mentioned that staff was sent to Main Street to identify where the encroachments exist, of which they took photographs, examples were a bench not affixed to the public right -of- way and in an area where a car could tip the bench over benches need to be secured and an inability for a car to tap any encroachment, there were free - standing tables and signs, there are encroachments in and out of the five foot walkway area, that is what needs to be regulated there are benches facing each other in the same area that could be resolved with some minimum relocation to keep the walkway area open this could accommodate the number of benches vet comply with the encroachment standards there should be a three foot clear area around the trash receptacles also for maintenance purposes With regard to temporary encroachments, this has drawn a great deal of consideration as to how they could be allowed, especially through the Public Works Department, these would be things that would not normally be allowed unless it is through an ordinance or special event permit a sidewalk sale would be an example otherwise it is difficult to enforce what is and is not in the travel isleway, temporary chairs and tables another example, another issue is use of the public right - of -way for marketing purposes by the fronting business A photo was shown of a small fence with flowers on the street side fronting a business up to that point is public right - of -way again there is the issue of ingress and egress standards for ADA purposes for getting in and out of a building, bike racks could be relocated somewhat to center a parking space to allow the travel walkway for pedestrians going in and out of their car also the five foot walkway, bike racks chained to trees or too close to trees are not wanted, they need to be appropriately placed in the right - of -way Anothei photo depicted newsracks, sandwich board signs, a display of products all in one area, under current Code sandwich board signs are not allowed however are enforced on a reactive basis, business products would not be allowed to be displayed in the right -of -way without a special event or activity permit the newsracks will be addressed in a separate ordinance with regard to signs in the right -of -way the question is whether the Council wants staff to enforce the Code proactively Again with regard to crosswalks benches that crowd that passageway, a wheelchair pedestrian needs to have a clear landing area benches could be moved somewhat to allow that much of this could be accommodated if the location standards are followed so that a safe travel walkway can be provided yet still allow some of the streetscape improvements to remain in the instance of a bench being chained to a light pole staff would suggest that the bench merely be relocated somewhat and affixed to the sidewalk, in some instances things can be resolved by merely informing the property owner of the standards With regard to outaoor dining, a Page Three - City Council Minutes - August 12 2002 photo was shown of a small encroachment into the right -of- way to this a direction from Council is sought if they want to allow outdoor dining, if so staff would need to investigate that further foi a policy With regard to the types of encroachments staff is asking Council, within the policy, for discretion to approve benches, bike racks, kiosks tables, cans, yet for anything else staff would want to bring it back to Council for review prior to approval As to an application cost that would cover application review to make certain the request meets the standards staff also requests consideration of establishing a rental license for use of the public right - of -way, the range of costs in other cities have been found to be between $1 and $3 per square foot for outdoor dining, public meetings could be held with the business owners to seek their input With regard to temporary encroachments staff is proposing to not allow those unless allowed by a special sidewalk permit Pioactive Code enforcement would include the existing sandwich board signs, question is should a code enforcement officer be directed to clear those signs from the public right -of -way With regard to outdoor dining, in the event a business were to come to the City under the scenario that there is a twelve foot sidewalk and they request to encroach by seven feet, leaving a five foot area for pedestrian traffic, would that use be allowed as to cantilever projections and overhangs, staff is recommending that anything that currently exists be grandfathered and any new requests would only be required to pay the application fee but not the rental charges associated with the use of walkable pedestrian space Staff has also received requests to investigate permitting encroachments in this aiea Councilman Antos stated that the Main Street Specific Plan calls for standardization of street furniture upon looking at the photos shown one can see there is a variety of types of bike lacks a variety of benches, including concrete ones, it would seem that since the Main Street Specific Plan has already been looked at in terms of newsracks, then there should be an attempt to establish a standard for benches bicycle racks, etc as well In regards to newsracks it has already been pointed out that there are places where they can and can not be located the City will likely be purchasing them, that needs to be taken into consideration before an application is made for a bench in a specific location that may be in conflict As to the temporary displays, tables chairs, signs Councilman Antos stated he is not in favor of them it is known that there are periodic sidewalk sales throughout the year and tied to other activities that the City is involved in sponsoring, businesses do put out displays in those instances for a day or two then removed, he would not like to see temporary, permanent displays A suggestion was made to him also that in other cities that have trees on a main street such as Seal Beach they have installed semi - circular benches around the trees that would seem to be something that could preclude the need for benches on either side of the sidewalk walkway area Page Foul - City Council Minutes - August 12, 2002 Councilman Larson inquired as to direction will the staff be meeting with business people, will there be an ordinance change or whatever The Public Works Director stated staff would like to do a public outreach with the businesses, meet and discuss their concerns, bring back a policy with any Council suggestions, then formally adopt a policy it would include where allowed, type allowed charges, feeling on outdoor dining cantilever projections, also at this time staff would request direction as to proactive Code enforcement of the sandwich board signs now rather than on a reactive basis To that there was an indicated preference for proactive Code enforcement at this time by Concilmembers Doane, Antos, and Yost Councilman Yost offered that he has received comments from residents who are not necessarily pleased with the temporary permanent displays taking place on the sidewalks, that involves the usage of the public right -of -way to expand the square footage of a business, there is also the permanent occupancy of the public space issue, an example are the eves on the Watson building that eytend into the public right -of -way, using public real estate permanently, or the case of the railing that is on public property as well, a use of taxpayers space for which they should be reimbursed permanently, they are two different issues he would not want to do damage to any business yet there should be a uniform environment with the same rules for everyone Councilman Doane spoke in support of the idea of circular benches, possibly staff could be directed to look into the cost of that, to that caution was raised as to the birds that frequent the trees over which such benches would be placed With regard to some standardization of benches, the Director stated that if that is a direction of Council he would bring back further information, and seek input from the public and businesses during the public outreach meetings in that there are a number of benches that presently exist Councilman Yost made reference to certain existing benches that are nice and charming yet not everyone could afford that type, possibly there could be a minimum standard, not necessarily a cookie cutter design up and down the street CLOSED SESSION The City Attorney announced that pursuant to Government Code Section 54956 9(b) and 54956 8, the Council would meet in Closed Session to discuss one case anticipated
