NS-836 On motion of Councilman Markel, FLY CONTROL seconded by Councdlm~n Herrin and carried, and at the request of Mr. John Waples of the Orange County Health Department this item was withdrawn from the agenda. BIRD RESOLUTION 66-8 AFFIRMING THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING C0~9~ISSION AND DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ON APPLICATION NO. 209 FILED BY DONALD M. BIigD was presented to Council together with a request for a building permit to erect a sign advertising a parking lot at 1621 E. 17th, same property as under Conditional Use Permit 209. Mr. Willis Clemons, attorney for the Santa Aha Neon Sign Company, presented a rendering of the proposed parking lot sign to the Council, along with photo- graphs of the Buffums' sign, which he felt was simflar to the applicant's proposal; he cited other parking lot signs where companies advertised validated parking, and noted a building permit was denied Santa Aha Neon although the C 5 zone allows parking lots with signs therefor. Mr. Edward Agnew, Santa Aha Neon, answering Mayor Harvey, noted the sign was different from conditional use permit application by addition at bottom of "Parking for Patrons." The Planning Director commented on the denial of permits for the sign, noting no application had been presented bearing the parking designation; that in his opinion it was a device to frustrate the prior action of Council. Asked by Councilman GiLmore if the sign as proposed was a legal use, the City Attorney replied Council must determine if it advertises a parking lot. CounciLman McMichael suggested the new sign be returned to the Planning Commission for rulin~ since it may be legal as changed but he would not change his vote where the other parties to the action were not present to represent themselves. Mayor Harvey noted the Council must determine whether or not the sign complies with the ordinances. It was moved by CounciLman Brooks, seconded by CounciLman McMichael that RESOLUTION 66-8 AFFIitWffNG THE DECISION OF THE PLANNING COM~LISSION AND DENYING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT ON APPLICATION NO. 209 FILED BY DONALD M.
