The Planning <br />Commission made no changes to the modifications outlined in the attached <br />staff report (Exhibit A). <br />In addition, Chapter 33 will be amended consistent with the Graffiti Task <br />Force's recommendations for abatement of graffiti placed on above ground <br />utility fixtures. The amendment will give the City additional tools to <br />require standardized colors for above ground fixtures, application of <br />anti-graffiti coating to newly installed fixtures, and removal of, or <br />painting over, graffiti in a timely manner. Staff has met with the <br />utility companies serving the City to discuss the amendments. The <br />utilities have no objections. <br />75B-1 <br />
