The proposed building would be approximately 12,000 square feet in area.

Planning Cases Text Amendment Mayor Huntoon declared the Public Hearing open. Deputy City Clerk Veralrud submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported that no protests or objections had been received. Planning and Building Director Aguilera advised that a Sign Ad Hoc Committee was created in order to draft new regulations regarding the City's Sign Ordinance, due to the number of applicant requests for variances for the installation of signs which deviate from the ordinance because of proposed height, area or loca- tion. Mr. Aguilera continued that in addition, the video arcade business, which is a new and unique type of operation, has become very popular and the City of Colton, as well as most other cities, has found that the zoning ordinance does not properly regulate video arcade businesses. Colton has a provision in its zoning ordinance which requires Conditional Use Permit approval for those uses not identified by the ordinance, however, the Planning Commission determined that it was too much of a burden to applicants, and to the City, to require C.U.P. approval each time and directed Staff, in conjunction with the Sign Ad Hoc Committee, to develop regu- lations for video arcade use. Mr. Aguilera stated Ordinance No. 1633 shows the changes and additions to the existing ordinance, which the Planning Commission felt were necessary in order to address these problems. Mr. Aguilera concluded Staff recommends introduction and First Reading of Ordinance No. 1633. Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone desired to speak on this matter. Councilwoman Garcia asked how the new ordinance differed from the existing ordi- nance relating to signs. Mr. Aguilera stated the existing ordinance permits signs to a height of 20 feet, with the exception of the Cooley Ranch area, which is 45 feet. Mr. Aguilera said the new ordinance will now permit signs to a height of 45 feet, which will make it uniform throughout the City. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Cisneros, the Public Hearing was terminated. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, to waive full reading and pass First Reading of Ordinance No. 1633. Unanimous vote. ORDINANCE NO. 1633 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1602, First Reading AND CHAPTER 18 OF THE COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE, ESTABLISHING A COM- PREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ZONING AND LAND USE.
