HOSPITAL SIGN ZONING ORDINANCE, PROPERTY OWNER-INITIATED ZONING CODE TEXT AMANDMENT P11-00069-ORD
CEQA Status:  The proposed amendments are exempt from CEQA review under the "General Rule" Section 15061(b)(3) that CEQA only applies to projects that "have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment".  The proposed Zoning Code Amendments are limited to allowing off-site signs for hospital uses through the established administrative permit process.  The amendments are regulatory in nature, do not identify any specific location for installation of such signs, and are not approving any specific development request. 
Request: First reading and recommendation of adoption of an ordinance amending Sections 18.116.030, 18.116.065, and 18.126.060 of the Zoning Code to permit the installation of off-site signs to identify a hospital in the unincorporated areas of Napa County.  The proposed Code Amendments would require an administrative permit issued by the director for any proposed off-site sign and would include physical limitations of said signs.    

Ordinance Title: AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE COUNTY OF NAPA, STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTIONS 18.116.030 AND 18.116.065 OF CHAPTER 18.116 AND SECTION 18.126.060 OF CHAPTER 18.126 OF TITLE 18 OF THE NAPA COUNTY CODE REGULATING SIGNS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERMITS.

Staff Recommendation: Continue the item to the Commission's May 4, 2011 regular meeting.
