ATTACHMENT D

Findings: 
 
1. 
The proposed text amendment addresses off-premise sign provisions that are 
unique to public school properties of 15 acres that are zoned PUD and within 300 
feet of a permitted freeway. 
 
 
2. 
The proposed text will provide updated zoning regulations to provide public 
schools along a freeway an additional revenue stream from off-premise signs on 
their property to help fund critical school programs

EXHIBIT A 
Text Amendment Z-TA-1-19: Off-premise advertising within PUDs located on 
publicly owned land used for school 
 
Proposed Language: 
 
Amend Section 705.2.A.2 (Off-Premise Signs) to read as follows: 
 
 
2. 
Off-premise ADVERTISING structures may also be located in a Planned Unit 
Development (PUD) when oriented and within 300 feet of a freeway as identified 
in Section 705.2.A.1. Off-premise advertising structures located in a PUD must 
comply with all standards in Section 705.2 and the GROSS AREA OF THE PUD 
must have a minimum of 20 acres. AN OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING 
STRUCTURE MAY BE LOCATED WITHIN A PUD WITH A GROSS AREA OF 
LESS THAN 20 ACRES IF ALL THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS ARE MET:
 
 
 
 
A. 
THE OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING STRUCTURE IS LOCATED ON 
PUBLICLY OWNED LAND THAT IS USED FOR A SCHOOL FOR K-12 
EDUCATION; AND,
 
 
 
 
B. 
LOCATED WITHIN A PUD THAT HAS A MINIMUM GROSS AREA OF 
15 ACRES; AND,
 
 
 
 
C. 
ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING 
STRUCTURES IN THE PUD ARE MET.
 
 
 
***
 
Amend Section 705.2.A.5 (Off-Premise Signs) to read as follows: 
 
 
5. 
With the exception of residential uses within a planned unit development (PUD) 
Except as follows below, no part of any off-premise ADVERTISING structure 
may be located closer than 500 feet from a residential district and residential 
use. A vacant residentially zoned lot shall be treated as a residential use. This 
setback may be reduced subject to obtaining a use permit pursuant to Section 
307 and a demonstration that there are visual or physical barriers that mitigate 
the impacts of the proposed off-premise advertising structure to the residential 
use. 
 
 
 
 
A. 
FOR RESIDENTIAL USES WITHIN A PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT 
(PUD) BOUNDARY, NO SETBACK FROM AN OFF-PREMISE 
ADVERTISING STRUCTURE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THE PUD 
BOUNDARY. 
 
 
 
 
B. 
FOR AN OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING STRUCTURE THAT IS 
LOCATED ON PUBLICLY OWNED LAND THAT IS USED FOR A 
SCHOOL FOR K-12 EDUCATION WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF A PUD, 
NO PART OF ANY OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING STRUCTURE MAY 
BE LOCATED CLOSER THAN 250 FEET FROM A RESIDENTIAL 
DISTRICT AND RESIDENTIAL USE OUTSIDE OF THE PUD 
BOUNDARY.

C. 
THIS SETBACK MAY BE REDUCED SUBJECT TO OBTAINING A USE 
PERMIT PURSUANT TO SECTION 307 AND A DEMONSTRATION 
THAT THERE ARE VISUAL OR PHYSICAL BARRIERS THAT MITIGATE 
THE IMPACTS OF THE PROPOSED OFF-PREMISE ADVERTISING 
STRUCTURE TO THE RESIDENTIAL USE.
