OKAY, WHY HE COME UP? YOU'RE GONNA BE THE FINAL ONE.

ALSO PROTECTING REGISTER THE OBJECTIVE FOCUS ON CRIME FIRST INTRODUCED, WHICH WAS HELD.

WE ALSO ORLY HELD TO PUBLIC COMMISS AID THIS YEAR WHEN DRAFTING THE S CONSIDERED, WHICH ARE SUMMARIZED ON THE STAFF, HAVE ALSO MAJORITY OF

HEARING PUBLIC TESTIMONY COMMISSION CONTINUED ITS, WE PROVIDE STAFF ADDITIONAL TIME, SEARCH AND POTENTIALLY MODIFY ELECTRONIC FOLLOWING THEM DEATH CONDUCTED A SERVICE DIAMOND BARBARY APPROVALS FOR FULLY ALLOW THE 10 FULL OF PROHIBIT THESE SUBJECT BACKTRACK AND ALSO OCTOBER 23RD.

COMMISSION UPDATE.

UM, FIRST WOULD CONTINUE TO, AND ELECTRONIC SCIENCE WAS ONE THAT THESE TYPES OF SCIENCE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL OF USE PLANNING AND WALLS, EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, SCHOOLS, CENTERS, AND CHURCHES, OTHER PLACES WHEN THESE USERS LIBERATION, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID VOTE, DRAFT ORDINANCE WOULD ALLOW ANIMATED.

SLIDE THREE.

THIS SLIDE SUMMARIZES FOR YOU.

TONIGHT IS THE CHIN AND FIRST READING OF UPDATE ANIMATED CHRONIC MESSAGE AS RECOMMEND OTHER WOULD PROHIBIT SUCH SIGNS AS IN ADDITION.

ADDITION.

YOU MAY REQUEST MODIFICATIONS TO EITHER DENY THE REQUEST CONTINUED DELIBERATE MEETING CONCLUDES MY PRESENT, YOUR HONOR.

ASK ANY QUESTIONS, KAREN, WHAT'S THE

[00:30:01]

WHAT, WHAT IS, WHAT IS STAFF RECOMMENDING THERE SPECIFICALLY BETWEEN DONE AND MOUTH SIGN TYPES THAT WEREN'T PREVIOUSLY ADDRESSED? THERE ARE CLEAR STANDARDS, READ SIGNS, SIGNS OUT, OUTLINE THE ROOFINGS FORMAT, BUILDING INSTRUCTION SECTION OF CO APPROPRIATE SECTION UNDER MORE STREAMLINED, ESSENTIALLY BUSINESS FRIENDLY APPROACHED.

THAT WAS THE AIM.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

UH, MY QUESTION IS, UH, WHEN YOU MENTIONED, UH, LIMITING THE HOSPITAL AND SOME MEDICAL CENTER, LIKE FIVE ACRES, WHERE DID THAT NUMBER COME FROM OR HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH A CONCLUSION OF LIMITED FIVE ACRES, HAD OTHER CITIES, CHRONIC OTHER, WHERE DID FIVE COME FROM? WHERE DID THEY, WHERE DID THAT ORIGINATE FROM? WHERE, WHY, WHY WHICH THREE DIFFERENT FROM FIVE, FIVE FROM 10.

I MEAN, I, I BELIEVE REQUIREMENT WAS EITHER ANAHEIM COMMISSION STAFF REPORT.

HOW THEY COME TO, TO THAT.

HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF SAYING WHY THREE ACRES IS DIFFERENT FROM FIVE ACRES VERSUS 10 ACRES.

I MEAN, YOU PEEL AWAY LITTLE BIT MORE OTHER THAN BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING IT.

GENERALLY WHEN WE GET SIZE, THE PROPERTY, FIVE ACRES IS A GENERAL, UM, SPLIT IS SIZE DEVELOPMENT.

ELECTRIC WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BECOME I FEW PLACES, FOR EXAMPLE, UH, THE NUMBER ONE ON VENTURA HIGHWAY AND ALSO I BUILDING THERE.

WOULD THEY BE, ARE THOSE FIVE ACRES OR MORE? THOSE ARE NOT FIVE ACRES OR MORE.

MIGHT BE, BUT THE OTHER ONE IT, UM, MEET THE DEFINITION OF SOLE FACILITY ON THE SITE.

SO YOU'RE EITHER THE SOLE FACILITY SITE OR ON A SITE OF FIVE ACRES OR MORE.

SO IT CAN BE EITHER ONE.

OKAY, BUT THAT MAKES SENSE.

DOCTOR'S OFFICE.

PERFECT SENSE THERE.

THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I APPLICATIONS THROUGH THIS PROCESS WE HAVE RECEIVED REQUEST.

I CAN'T SPEAK TOO FAR BACK IN HISTORY.

THE PROCESS WE RECEIVED 20 FROM, AND THANK YOU THIS I'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ALL THOSE WHO WISH TO GIVE, UH, YOUR NAME AND OPINION WHERE FOR PLEASE FORWARD THIS TIME, PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

GOOD EVENING, MR. MAYOR AND NO TIME.

MY NAME IS FAMILY HEALTH CENTER AND, UH, LOCATED AT THE ONE, UM, THE REASON I'M HERE IS TO ADDRESS THE IDEA OF HAVING AN ELECTRONIC, HAVING THE ABILITY REQUEST AN ELECTRONIC SIGN ON OUR PROPERTY.

WE PURCHASED OUR BUILDING ABOUT A LOT OF RENOVATIONS, WHICH WE HAVE NOT, WE JUST BEGUN TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT ELECTRONIC SIGN DID COME OUR CONVERSATION.

I WANNA THANK STAFF BECAUSE, UH, WHEN I CALLED THEM UP, VERY ATTENTIVE, STANDING, VERY ACCEPTING, OUTLINED A GREAT, UM, SERIES OF THINGS THAT HAD TO OCCUR HERE.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I, I, UM,

[00:35:02]

AS, YOU KNOW, EXPERIENCED THE LAST FEW YEARS CAME INTO PLAY.

UM, THERE WAS A LOT OF CONFUSION, A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING, ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT REALLY CAUSE A LOT OF FUSION.

AND SO WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR IS TRUSTED SOURCES OF INFORMATION BEING THAT AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER, UNFORTUNATELY WE PROBABLY WILL BE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE.

UH, WE SEE A SIGN AND ID BUILDING ATTORNEY TO OUR, OUR 18,000 MEMBERS THIS CLINIC.

AND, UM, THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US.

PRINTED FLYERS ARE KIND OF DYING OFF.

DO HAVE OUR PROVIDERS TALK TO THE, WHEN IT COMES TO THINGS LIKE COVID OR ANY OF THAT MAGNITUDE, HAVING A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE ARE ACCUSTOMED TO COMING TO WITH, WITH GOOD INFORMATION WOULD REALLY NOT ONLY SERVE CLINIC, BUT I THINK OVERALL PUBLIC SAFETY, HEALTH OF THE COMMUNITY.

THE OTHER THING IS IT'S A TRUSTED PLACE.

FAMILY HEALTH CENTER HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 19, A FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTER IN, AND WHAT THAT IS, IS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

WE'RE 1700 PIECE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, HOWEVER, HAVE HIGHLY REGULATED.

AND SO ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD PUT ON INDIGENOUS SIGN WOULD BE, HAD BEEN VETTED THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

WHAT I'M HOPING IS THAT CITY WILL REALIZE THAT HAVING POSITIONED, UH, SIGN AND AND CRITICAL AREAS WOULD HELP SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

NOT ONLY SERVE THE CLINIC, BUT ACTUALLY SERVE THE COMMUNITY.

WHEN COVID HAPPENED, I GO BACK TO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE JUST OVER A THOUSAND VACCINATIONS AND, UM, WHEN IT CAME TO DEALING DISEASE ITSELF, UH, WE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE COME IN TO THE POINT THAT IT EVEN SHUT DOWN OUR WEBSITE AND SHUT DOWN OUR CALLS.

THAT'S HOW MANY PEOPLE.

SO IN LOOKING TO THE FUTURE, WE HOPE CONSIDER THAT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A PERSON THERE IS ABOUT THE COMMITTEE.

I SAID THAT I'VE WORKED IT, YOU KNOW ME, I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT I WOULD DO WHATEVER.

I SHOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE THIS COMMITTEE.

I RETIRED AND LEFT.

I SAID I WOULD DO THAT, BUT I WOULD DO IT.

CLINIC.

ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT'S IMPORTANT TO US AS A AND AS A MEMBER OF THE BUSINESS COMMITTEE ON BEHALF AS WELL AS REPRESENTING CLINIC OF WHICH 10,300 ARE ACTUALLY RESIDENTS OF THIS AND OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

AND THAT'S IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU DAVE.

ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE TOP PUBLIC WISHING TO TESTIFY THIS ITEM? PLEASE COME FORWARD.

ANYBODY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS, COLLEGE STUDENTS OUT THERE? WANNA SAY ANYTHING? NO.

YOU SURE? OKAY.

WE'RE GONNA HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS AND I'LL, UM, CALL FOR ACTION DISCUSSION.

QUESTION.

I THOUGHT WERE, OR IN THIS PROCESS, I THOUGHT ANIMATED SIGNS OF DIGITAL SIGNS WERE ALLOWED FOR HEALTH FACILITIES, HEALTHCARE FACILITIES, SCHOOLS.

ARE THEY ALLOWED TO HAVE ELECTRONIC SIGNS? AND THE ONES THAT ARE GRANDFATHER DISPLAY ONLY HOWARD CORRECT.

SCHOOLS BY COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT WE CORRECT, CORRECT.

CORRECT.

SIGNS FOR THAT EXCLUDE HEALTHCARE FACILITY LOAN AS A CARVE OUT.

COULD DO THAT? ABSOLUTELY.

YOU WOULDN'T BE EXCLUDING IF YOU SAY WHICH ENTITIES COULD UTILIZE ELECTRONIC.

I JUST WANTED, YEAH, I JUST WANNA START OFF BY SAYING MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION IS I'M VERY LEERY OF THESE ANIMATED DIGITAL DISPLAY AND ELECTRONIC MESSAGE.

THE TWO REASONS FROM, AGAIN, KIND OF THE BIGGEST STRIP LOOK AT A SLIPPERY SLOPE THAT WILL HOP START TO GO DOWN.

AND NUMBER TWO, WE HAVE SO MUCH DISTRACTED DRIVING AS IS RESULT THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD ALMOST INDUCE SEIZURE, BLINKING, STROLLING, FLASHING LIGHTS.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I WANNA EXTREMELY FRIENDLY, I LOVE THE FACT THAT RECOMMENDED ORDINANCE IS STREAMLINED FASTER, MORE EFFICIENT, BUT, AND I WOULDN'T MIND AT THE SAME TIME MAYBE SEEING THAT DATA JUST OUTLINED BEING ALLOWED TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO GET THE WORD OUT.

BUT BUSINESSES AT LARGE, I SLIPPERY SLOPE BAD.

SO JUST TO CLARIFY, THE PLANNING COMMISSION

[00:40:01]

DON'T THAT ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION OBVIOUSLY DO IS TAX REASONING FOR RECOMMENDING THE CONTINUED PROHIBITION ELECTRONIC SIDE IN THE COMMUNITY IS BECAUSE FOR THE LAST PROBABLY 30 YEARS, CITY COUNCIL'S POLICY HAS BEEN TO NOT ALLOW ELECTRONICS.

SO TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A DIFFERENT COUNCIL AND IF THERE'S, THAT'S ALL STAFF.

YOU DO WANNA ALLOW CERTAIN TYPES OF BUSINESS TYPES THAT HAVE ELECTRONIC SIDE.

MY SUGGESTION AND RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO MODIFY THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO SUIT THE COUNCIL STATES.

I COULD AGREE WITH THAT, WHAT HE SAID.

I WOULD WANNA THE BUILDING THAT IF I, IF I MAY, UH, SO I'M OF THE MINDSET AND KING STORMER SIMILAR TO WHAT, UH, MS WAS SAYING.

I'M THINKING OF IT FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY ASPECT.

TRAFFIC BEING ATED WITH TRAFFIC HERE IN THE HARBOR IN THE OTHER CITIES.

YOU HAVE PEOPLE PASSING THROUGH HERE MOSTLY DURING HIGH TRAFFIC HOURS, TRAFFIC IN THE MORNINGS AND, UH, IMPROVE PROBABLY FROM THREE TO SIX, THREE TO 7:00 PM RISK.

AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME FROM TIME TO TIME AND I WOULD USE THE HIGH SCHOOL MARQUE ON, UH, ON BOULEVARD IN IDAHO.

IT'S A GREAT MARQUEE.

I LOVE IT.

MY, MY GIRLS ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL AND I TEND TO LOOK AT IT LESS NOW BECAUSE MY GIRLS ARE NO LONGER THERE.

WHEN THEY WERE, I WOULD BE GUILTY.

ONE OF THE ONES THAT WOULD BE AT THE, AT THE HEAD OF, AT THE, AT THE STOPLIGHT GOING EASTBOUND ON, UH, WHIT BOULEVARD IN IDAHO.

AND I'M LOOKING AT THE MARQUEE, THE LIGHT'S GREEN.

I'VE GOT PEOPLE HONKING BEHIND ME.

THAT IS ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE MANY REASONS THAT I CAN THINK OF IS THAT, UH, WE GET INUNDATED WITH SOME OF THESE SIGNS.

PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE RUBBERING TO SEE WHAT THEY MISSED ON A MARQUEE REASON.

THAT LEADS TO DISTRACTED DRIVING.

THAT LEADS TO SOMETIMES TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS THAT HAPPENED.

YOU KNOW, INSTANCE, YOU MAY PASSING BY A MAR SIGN AND LET'S USE HOWARD'S FOR, I HAVEN'T DONE THESE AT HOWARD'S, BUT THE SALE GOING ON.

YOU GOT BLACK FRIDAY COMING UP AND YOU'RE DRIVING THROUGH IMPERIAL HIGHWAY 15 MILES PER HOUR.

EVERYBODY DRIVES THE SPEED LIMIT UNFORTUNATELY.

AND YOU PASS BY THE SIGN AND YOUR RUBBERNECK AND NOW YOU'RE SLOWING DOWN.

UM, THIS IS WHAT CAN HAPPEN.

AND THIS IS WHAT DISTRACTED DRIVING, UH, WHAT THAT IS GONNA DO.

MY EYES, IT'S GONNA ENCUMBER OUR PUBLIC SAFETY SPECIALISTS, OUR POLICE OFFICER, AND YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS THAT YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO ON TOP OF WHATEVER ELSE GOING ON IN THIS.

I WANNA BE BUSINESS AS WELL.

MOST DEFINITELY.

UH, THE OTHER PART I KNOW WE DO HAVE, UH, WITH ERIC, CHRONIC SIGNS THAT WE HAVE NOW, I BELIEVE, UH, HAVE TO, UH, 10:00 PM AT NIGHT, 5:30 AM LIGHT POLLUTION.

WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR OUR RESIDENTS IN OUR, IN OUR, UH, NEIGHBORHOODS? DEPEND WHERE SOME OF THESE SIGNS MAY BE.

HOW LOUD, BRIGHT THESE SIGNS MAY BE FOR SOME OF THESE.

MAYBE BACKYARDS MAY BE SOMEWHERE IN VICINITY OF THESE, UH, THINGS.

SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE TO CONTEND WITH OUR BUSINESSES, WHICH THE CITY COUNCIL IS VERY BUSINESS-FRIENDLY, BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR OUR RESIDENTS.

IF IT'S WITH THAT AND LOOKING OUT FOR OUR RESIDENTS AND DISTRACTED DRIVERS.

GOD FORBID IT'S CROSSING THE STREET AND YOU HAVE A DISTRACTED DRIVER, HIT SOMEBODY.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WORRY ABOUT AS YOU GET MORE AND MORE OF THESE TIMES.

AND MAYBE, AND YOU KNOW, WHETHER IT'S JUST ONE OR TWO, BUT IF IT'S MEDICAL FACILITY, I UNDERSTAND IT'S ON IDAHO, BUT THEN HAPPENS WITH KAISER IMPERIAL, THEN YOU HAVE A SECOND HOWARD, BUT KAISER, WELL OTHER MEDICAL FACILIT AS WELL.

I'M OF THE MINDSET THAT, UH, THAT WE GO WITH STAFF OPTION AND IF POSSIBLE TO DO SOME RESEARCH OVER THE NEXT YEAR.

SEE WHAT OTHER VIABLE OPTIONS THAT WE HAVE WHEN IT COMES, HOW WE GO INTO THE FUTURE.

THAT'S, I'M, I HAVE A QUESTION OF THE CHIEF.

[00:45:10]

WHATEVER IT'S STAFF MAYBE GET BACK TO US AT SOME POINT IN THAT TIME.

INCORPORATE SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE A WHOLE YEAR.

I THINK IT WOULD BE PRUDENT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THIS ISSUE RIGHT HERE HAS COME OVER THE LAST, UH, FEW WEEKS AS IT GOES FORWARD.

I MEAN, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, THAT IS GONNA AFFECT IN MY EYES.

IT'S GONNA AFFECT OUR COMMUNITY FOR YEARS.

I MIGHT BELIEVE THAT WELL MUCH WE'RE AFFECTED HERE BECAUSE MORATORY STAFF WOULD THE STAFF EFFECTS OF THE SURROUNDING FULLER LA MARADA STICKER STATISTICS BY ADDING THOSE, ASSUMING IN TERMS OF THOSE IN, SO THIS IS DECEMBER 31ST.

I'VE GOT STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS RIGHT NOW, STREAMLINING THE PROCESS, CONTINUE TO STUDY THIS OTHER ISSUE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING.

YEAH.

SO PLACE THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION.

I JUST, IT'S YEARS WAY TOO LONG TO, YOU'VE DONE SIX MONTHS, BUT WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION THAT YOUR MOTION SECOND THERE'S A MOTION.

OKAY.

UM, JUST TO CLARIFY, SO THE MOTION IS THE RESOLUTION CHANGES TO THE CODES ATION ON PARDON? AN ORDINANCE? ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE ORDINANCE? YES.

HE ALSO HAS SIMILAR LANGUAGE TO THE, TO THE MOTION INCLUDED DIRECTING STAFF TO RESEARCH DISTRACT RETURN.

OKAY.

COUNCIL MEMBER? YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

COUNCIL MEMBER.

MY MAYORS NAME.

BILL, NO.

THREE, TWO, GO HERE.
