143 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. NS-2444 <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />AMENDING SECTION 41-871 OF THE SANTA ANA <br />MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO ADDITIONAL BANNER <br />SIGN WHERE ACCESS TO A BUSINESS IS DIRECTLY <br />AFFECTED BY CITY PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS <br /> <br />BK:8/24/00 <br /> <br /> THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES ORDAIN AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br /> <br /> SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Santa Ana finds, determines and <br />declares as follows: <br /> <br /> A. Current law gives businesses the right to install banner signs of specified <br />size up to four times per year for a maximum of thirty days for each time the banner sign <br />is installed. <br /> <br /> B. Certain businesses in the City take direct access from City streets on <br />which the City's Public Works Agency, from time to time, undertakes major public works <br />projects, such as street widening or installation of utilities. <br /> <br /> C. These major public works projects often require lane closures and could <br />otherwise cause vehicle drivers to not be aware of temporary driveways or other <br />temporary access provided by the City to ensure that these businesses remain <br />accessible to their customers. <br /> <br /> D. The City Council believes that it appropriate to allow these businesses, <br />who are directly affected by City major public works projects on streets to be entitled an <br />additional banner sign not otherwise available to businesses in the City. <br /> <br /> E. This additional banner sign should be allowed only for the period in which <br />the street on which the business is accessed is directly under construction. <br /> <br /> F. This additional banner sign, because it is in excess to the other signs <br />provided for under the City's Municipal Code, should be limited to providing information <br />that the business remains open while the construction caused by the City is underway. <br /> <br /> G. It is not the intent of the City Council to engage in impermissible content <br />control in adopting this ordinance, but to allow an additional banner sign, not otherwise <br />permitted, to businesses in a unique situation. Should a court of competent jurisdiction <br />find that this ordinance constitutes impermissible content control, it is the intent of the <br />City Council that subdivision (4) of section 41-871 of the Code, added by this ordinance, <br />be stricken from the Code in its entirety. <br /> <br />Ordinance No. NS-2444 <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
