1 PLANNING COM1fISSION MEETING • <br /> MARCH 16 , 1993 <br /> 3 PAGE 6 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Commissioner Murphy suggested that staff should be making the <br /> 7 ordinance user-friendly as it appears not to be designed for <br /> 8 the business community . He felt. staff should recommend the <br /> 9 ordinance be modified or thev should be directed to enforce <br /> l0 what is presently on the books . <br /> it <br /> 12 Commissioner Madden felt that the comprehensive sign ordinance <br /> 13 was totally ignored and swept under the rug regarding the <br /> 14 signage at Stop-N-Shop . <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Commissioner Murphy inquired what procedure is followed by <br /> 17 staff when a sign request is received which is not covered by <br /> 18 the sign ordinance . Urbia responded that the Zoning <br /> 19 Administrator decides and interprets the ordinance . <br /> 20 <br /> 21. Commissioner Murphy felt the intent of the Planning Commission <br /> 22 regarding this matter was to avoid a rubber stamping approval <br /> 23 of signs not addressed in the ordinance . He feels this needs <br /> 24 more interpretation and enforcement . <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Urbia noted that the City Manager is responding to direction • <br /> 27 from the City Council . Commissioner Murphy suggested that the <br /> 28 City Council has a different philosophy than the Planning <br /> 29 Commission on this matter . <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Chair Faust requested that the Zoning Administrator attend a <br /> 32 Planning Commission Meeting to discuss the City Council <br /> 33 philosophy regarding the sign ordinance and the definition of <br /> 34 new terms in the ordinance. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 C. Parking Ordinance <br /> 37 <br /> 38 Chair Faust inquired if there is anything new to report on the <br /> 39 parking ordinance . Urbia responded as far as he knows there is <br /> 40 nothing new. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Commissioner Franzese advised that at the March 2nd Council <br /> 43 work session the City Manager requested the City Council to <br /> 44 discuss any further feelings towards the proposed parking <br /> 45 ordinance . The Council did not feel an ordinance would be <br /> 46 appropriate as the problem has addressed itself , probably from <br /> 47 further awareness by exposure in the media . <br /> 48 <br /> 49 Commissioner Gondorchin took exception to this conclusion and <br /> 50 feels the ordinance should be further explored. <br />
