PUBLIC HEARINGS
ORDINANCE NO.858,PZ-4-92,SIGN CODE
AMENDMENTS
)Planning Division Manager Jim
Nakagawa briefed the Council on this item.He stated that this item was
postponed to be submitted to the General Plan Task Force and Main Street,Inc.
for their input.He briefed the Council on the input from the task force and
stated that a report from Main Street was received just prior to tonight's
meeting and he did not have time to review it.He presented four options for
the Council to consider.
Mr.Frank Kennemur,General Plan
Task Force spokesman,briefed the Council on their recommendations which
included restricting the height of signs to 12 feet and that "A"frame signs
be banned and considered illegal in Apache Junction.
Mr.Bob Trepp,2300 W.Apache Trail,
Main Street spokesman,apologized to the Council for getting their report on
the Sign Code amendments so late.He briefed the Council on the Main Street's
recommendations which included economic restructuring,recruitment efforts to
bring new business into our community,expanding existing businesses and how
we can support those businesses'and.help them grow.He further explained the
things they looked at in considering the Sign Code amendments.
Mr.Gil Verley of the Sign Code
committee,briefed the Council on their recommendations.He urged the Council
not to delay the Sign Code being proposed any longer and stated that this is a
good Sign Code that allows businesses to work.
Vice Mayor Barker asked if the Sign
Code that was brought prior to this one included the "A"frame signs.
Mr.Verley answered that it did .not
include "A"frame signs which many of the businesses have illegally and the
City does not enforce.
Vice Mayor Barker stated that it was
then changed to include "A"frame signs and then it was held back,so they
have been back and forth on it.
Mr.Verley confirmed that.

Vice Mayor Barker asked if there are
a lot of "A"frame signs in the city.
Mr.Verley answered he was afraid it
was so.
Vice Mayor Barker asked if his
business is building a lot of "A"frame signs.
Mr.Verley answered he was afraid it
was so.He stated that daily he has requests for signs that are illegal in
the city and when he tells people that those signs are illegal,they go some
place else and have it built and put it up anyway.He commented on 20 -foot
high signs and urged the Council that if they decide on the 12 -foot high
minimum signs,that they immediately put a two-year limitation on those that
exist to conform with the minimum height.
a lot of "A"frame signs in the city.
was so.
Councilman Coleman recalled that
when the height was changed to 20 feet,he read in the newspaper that our
ordinance was the most liberal in the Valley.
Mr.Verley replied that the article
in the newspaper was completely untrue.He added that signs in the City of
Phoenix can be up to 45 -foot high in some areas but most signs are limited to
25 -foot high according to their new ordinance.
Councilman Coleman asked what is the
height limit in Mesa for signs.
Mr.Verley answered that it was
12 -foot high in Mesa and higher in Maricopa County.He stated that another
factor involved with height signage is the amount of property,so on an
80 -foot wide street front a 35 -foot high sign looks very high;that our
buildings'height is 25 feet,so a building can have an overhang up to the
front line with a sign put up there so that i t is 25 -foot high.He added that
Phoenix has exterior window signs and this proposed ordinance provides for
exterior window signs which a lot of businesses have been doing all along.
Councilman Coleman stated that he
had a problem with the 20 -foot high signs;that Mr.Verley is saying that the
businesses need it but a businessman had just asked the opposite.
Mr.Verley replied that he knows the
businessman changed his mind in the last two weeks since he got into the Main
Street committee and that he believes that Main Street is not working in the
best interest of everybody involved but only a small number of business
people.

Councilman Coleman stated he was
very interested about the General Plan Task Force's input on the Sign Code
which is recommending to keep the 12 -foot minimum height and that "A"frame
signs be eliminated.
Mr.Verley stated that if the
Council decides to do that,make it so for everybody so that all have the same
abilities for doing business.
Councilman Coleman asked if the
Council decides on the 12 -foot high limit,can we ask that within a certain
period of time all the businesses comply.
City Attorney Glenn Gimbut answered
that the City of Scottsdale lost that issue with the Arizona Supreme Court.
He explained that Scottsdale had asked that all billboards would come down
after five years.The Supreme Court's decision was that Scottsdale had bought
the billboards.
were different than individual signs.
Mr.Verley replied that billboards
Mr.Gimbut explained that the
concept was the same in that "you have to get rid of the sign you have and put
something else in its place."
Mr.Verley insisted that it was not
the same.
Mr.Gimbut replied that he would be
glad to borrow the information that Mr.Verley had and do a research on that
for a definitive opinion and convey it to the City Council.
Mr.Wayne Miller,owner of the Basic
Drilling property,disagreed with Mr.Verley's comments.He stated that in
the world of business there are no absolutes and you should have variances for
everything you do and then look at everything on an individual basis.He
added that by discontinuing the "A"frame signs the Council would probably be
putting six people out of business.
Mrs.Nancy Koerner,1026 N.
Goldfield Rd.,suggested to wait in adopting the Sign Code until Main Street
completes their study.She agreed that everybody should conform with the Sign
Code.
Mr.William Cams,629 E.10th
Avenue,asked that business addresses be included on the signs.He was
informed that the proposed Sign Code included the addresses on the signs.

Mayor Perkins asked if anyone else
wished to speak on this item.There being no one else wishing to speak,she
closed the public hearing.
Vice Mayor Barker stated that the
task force has invested a lot of time in the Sign Code;that Main Street has
asked the Council to wait which,contrary to what Mr.Verley said,it does
represent a large number of business people who are interested in the Sign
Code;that Main Street is asking that consideration be given to slowing down
the traffic,which Mesa has already done west of Meridian since Walgreens
opened;and that Main Street is also looking into that possibility along with
placing business signs in the median.
Mr.Verley stated that the task
force discussed the possibility of placing sign in the median and explained
the inconvenience of doing that.
Vice Mayor Barker stated that she
wanted to know if the Sign Code would allow signs in the median.
Mr.Verley answered that it would
not because no off -premises signs are allowed.
Vice Mayor Barker commented that
even though both the General Plan Task Force and Main Street indicated they
did not have enough time to do a thorough and in-depth review of the Sign
Code,they agree in keeping the sign height to a minimum of 12 feet and to
continue holding "A"frame signs illegal.She added that those signs have
never been legal but for some reason or another the ordinance has not been
enforced and she protested against that.She stated that if that is going to
continue she needed more information about it and she was not ready to vote on
this now.
Councilman Perkins stated that the
Sign Code is not going to be set in stone but will continue to change as the
city grows.He stated that if this is passed now it will not hurt to bring it
back in six months and amend it;that it may have to be changed again in six
years;but there was no sense in continuing this any further.
Councilman Coleman agreed with
Councilman Perkins except that if after they approve this Sign Code they
decide to change the height to 20 feet and allow the "A"frame signs,and try
to amend it in six months,the businesses would have already invested in that
and he had a problem with that.
Vice Mayor Barker stated she also
agreed in part with Councilman Perkins but there needs to be a string of
consistency so that it does not cost businesses their money.

Mr.Kennemur,explained how they
arrived at their recommendations of the 12 -foot high signs,no median signs,
and no "A"frame signs.
Councilwoman Richmond asked if they
were to pass this ordinance,how could they word the motion to allow
Mr.Gimbut to check and see if the City can set a period of time for
businesses to comply with the 12 -foot minimum height.
Mr.Gimbut answered that they
attempted to do the same with an amendment to the "A"frame signs in an
amendment from the floor.He recommended that if the Council wanted to
seriously consider a period of time for all signs to conform to the 12 -foot
height,that they continue this item.
Mr.Verley suggested that the
reduction from 20 to 12 -foot height for other signs did not have to be in the
Sign Code but could be handled with a different ordinance.
Councilman Hendricks asked what will
be the sign height for Mega Foods.
Mr.Verley answered that it will be
a 12 -foot height.
Councilman Hendricks stated that the
City should enforce the ordinance on "A"frame signs because if a car hit a
sign,it would be like a bullet and hurt someone.
Mr.Verley answered that City staff
informed him that they were instructed not to enforce the ordinance until such
time that the Council made a decision on the Sign Code,
City Clerk Kathy Connelly informed
the Council that the past two Legislative sessions the State Legislature has
considered adopting a new State lawthat would force cities such as Apache
Junction to reimburse a business if the city were to outlaw a non -conforming
use.So,while they discuss that they can do this or that,later the
Legislature might make a law that eliminates what Council can do.
Councilman Coleman asked for an
explanation of that new law.
Mr.Gimbut explained that currently,
a grandfathered business could do the same type of business no matter if the
commercial zoning changed;but with the new law,if the zoning changed,the
City could ask that business to go,but the City would have to reimburse the
business for the loss they may incur.

had problems with the ordinance because he saw conflicts in Section 2-20-4 E
and Section 2-20-5 B and E;that he could not see how a board can sit in a

Council is creating more problems than they are solving;that the board will
be restricted and will not be able to talk to the press;and he did not see
how the board will set to rest any public concerns.

once this review board is established,it will be used for a witch hunt by
members of this Council and members of this community.He stated he will be
fighting this ordinance and will be taking every resource in his ability to

recently asked a police officer for his opinion on the review board and the

feasible and that this would be an inexpensive way for our community to get
into it and determine whether it was feasible or not.

staff to continue working with those entities like Main Street,the Chamber of
Commerce and SMPC,all of which have the same goals of economic growth in

Mr.Hoffman stated that two points
have been made on this issue in terms of economic development and
transportation and as we go into it,we need to recognize that although those
terms may overlap,they are two separate goals,which he explained.
Mr.Steven Broadsky,101 N.20th
Street in Phoenix,briefed the Council on the possibility of bringing his
trolleys to Apache Junction and about his experience in this business.
Mr.Hoffman explained to
Mr.Broadsky that Main Street was conducting a study,that the City would
contract with them,and they would select the provider.
Mr.Broadsky replied that he
understands the City is helping to provide funding for this project and Main
Street will select the provider,and that although he has not bid on a
community project before,he would do better than others.
