Sign Height on State Route 58
Council Referral No. 180
Augusl
��-�'� --_--_
Dual referral to the City Manager's Office and Planning.
Councilmember Benham requested that staff research the issue of rais
sign limit height from 35 feet to 58 feet on State Route 58; and, if nec
have the Planning and Development Committee discuss the issue.
Background:
During Public Statements at the June 30, 2010 City Council meeting, Mi
Bisla requested the City Council consider permitting taller freestandin�
signs for freeway-oriented businesses along State Route (SR-) 58 similar to
permitted along SR-99. The request specifically included an amendmer
City's ordinance which would allow such signs to be increased to fifty-ei
feet in height.
For different zoning districts, the Zoning Ordinance� regulates the m
height and area of pylon signs as follows:

"Freeway Oriented Signs"
The Zoning Ordinance provides for "freeway oriented signs" ��, which
premises where food, lodging and places of business engaged in su
goods and services essential to the normal operation of motor vehicl�
which are directly dependent upon an adjacent freeway.
There are currently six intersections along SR-99 with specific areas thc
been designdted to provide for one (1) allowable onsite pylon sigr
increased to a maximum height of seventy-five (75) feet and area c
hundred-fifty (350) square feet. These intersections include:
• Airport Drive;
• State Highways 58/178 (Rosedale Highway/24th Street);
• California Avenue;
• Ming Avenue;
• White Lane; and,
• Panama Lane.
Characteristics of SR-99 and SR-58:
S R-99:
SR-99 is a major north-south freeway through the city and development t
occurred around each interchange consists of predominantly commerc
that depend upon travelers such as fuel, food and lodging facilities
"freeway oriented signs" have been allowed along SR-99 since the mi�
Residential development has not occurred within close proximity t<
intersections due to the amount of traffic and related commercial
Additionally, all of the interchanges have City arterial roadw
accommodate the volume of traffic associated with such businesses.
S R-58:
Development around SR-58's interchanges within the city limits consists
few fuel, food and lodging facilities. Those businesses that c�rrently e�
any of these interchanges generally serve local demand. Residentic
predominant land use between SR-99 and Union Avenue, as well as muc
area around Oswell Street. Taller pylon signs around residential devel�
are generally considered visually objectionable. Additionally, the interc
at "H" Street/South "H" Street and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd/Cottc

There is one freeway-oriented development located at the interchange
and SR-184 (Weedpatch Highway), which is located within the unincor�
territory. Development at this location is oriented toward regional or
traffic, rather than local traffic, with many restaurants, a truck stop, mo1
fueling stations. The County of Kern Planning and Community Devel�
Department indicates that it has approved taller signs up to fifty (50) fE
variances for these businesses due to their dependency on travelers uE
adjacent freeway. This is the only interchange that has been allowed
taller pylon signs along SR-58 in the metropolitan area.
Summary and Conclusion:
A comprehensive review of the City's sign regulations was conducte<
mid-1990s by the City's Planning Commission and expansion of the locc
"freeway oriented signs" was considered. The expansion to the interc
located along SR-58 was also considered. The Planning Commission detE
that since the development around SR-58's interchanges generally serv
demand and is not directly dependent upon an adjacent freeway there
reason to expand the locations of "freeway oriented signs" along SR-;
Planning Commission was also concerned that the taller signs would ne�
impact nearby residents.
With regard to Mr. Bisla's request, staff has determined that there woulc
public benefit derived by expanding the "freeway oriented signs" alor
and that the concern noted by the Planning Commission of the p
negative impact of taller signs on nearby residential development is still v
