ORDINANCE NO. 1667 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON, AMENDING (First Reading) ORDINANCE NO. 1602, AND TITLE 18 OF THE COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE, ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR ZONING AND LAND USE. Text Amendment Ord. No. 1668 Mayor Huntoon declared the Public Hearing open. City Clerk Ramos submitted the Affidavit of Publication and reported that no protests or objections had been received. Mr. Aguilera advised that this Text Amendment relates to amending Title 18 of the Colton Municipal Code, Section 18.24.040, Signs, and Staff recommends that the City enter into an agreement with the Building In- dustry Association, BIA, to regulate and create a sign program for new housing, which is currently being used successfully by surround- ing cities. The program would require that the City enforce its sign ordinance to remove the illegal signs and allow the builders to use the AIA sign program which would locate directional signs at strategic points in the City, and in order to implement this program, the City needs to amend its sign ordinance to allow offsite signs specifically geared to this sign program. Mr. Aguilera referred to the amendments as outlined in Planning Commission Resolution No. 2017. Mr. Aguilera concluded if Council concurs, it would be in order to consider First Reading of Ordinance No. 1668. Mayor Huntoon asked if anyone desired to speak on this matter. Upon no one stepping forward, moved by Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Rios, the Public Hearing was terminated. Unanimous vote. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rios, to pass First Reading of ORDINANCE NO. 1668 and waive further reading. Vote was unanimous. ORDINANCE NO. 1668 - AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF COLTON, AMENDING (First Reading) ORDINANCE NO. 1602, AND TITLE 18 OF THE COLTON MUNICIPAL CODE, TO PROVIDE FOR OFF-SITE DIREC- TIONAL SIGNS RELATING TO NEW HOUSING DEVELOP- MENTS. PLANNING COMMISSION REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Agreements Planning Director Aguilera advised that Staff received proposals from the San Bernardino County Community Housing Resource Board informing the City that the Boards' services could be made available to Colton, the purpose of these services being to assist the City in meeting the compliance requirements of fair housing practices. Mr. Aguilera said the program is an activity that may be funded with Community Develop- ment Block Grant monies, as is being done in both the City and County. Mr. Aguilera continued that the Boards' proposal suggests a fee of $7,000 for their services, however, the City's C.D.B.G. Water Im- provements Project, #104-05206, has only $3,000 available to use for this purpose. Mr. Aguilera advised that the Director of the Board, Ms. Mary Irving, indicated a lesser amount may be acceptable. Mr. Aguilera stated Staff feels the City does need the program in order to comply with State requirements, and therefore, recommends that the $3,000 available in the Water Improvements Account be trans- ferred for payment of these services.
