W City Manager From: Executive Director/Commity Development Date: December 7, 1987 Subject ENCROACI-M= AGPEEMENT FOR CREVIER E24W MONUMENT SIGN STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE In 1985, plans were developed for the Santa Ana Auto Mall streetscape based on input from the dealers with respect to building and signage size, placement and orientation. over the past few months, it has become evident that although the plans were developed in accordance with the best available information, there is very limited on -site space for monument signage. This is primarily due to the unique landscape theme at the Auto Mall which includes circular plazas in the streets and corresponding curved parkways. The resulting property lines are off -set leaving inadequate space on -site for placement of monument signage. On behalf of Crevier Motors, staff is requesting that the city council approve an encroachment agreement (see Attachment 1) to allow placement of a monument sign in the landscaped parkway. The proposed location takes into consideration both safety and visibility concerns. The alternatives considered included identifying an on -site location for the monument sign, allowing the sign to be placed off -site in the landscaped parkway, and denying the request for an encroachment agreement. Based on field investigations and a survey, it is evident that there is inadequate space on -site to accommodate a monument sign. By allowing for an off -site location in the landscaped parkway, Crevier BMW will be able to provide the necessary identification for their facility. The proposed location is also in conformance with zoning code and safety requirements. Denying the request for an encroachment agreement would effectively prohibit Crevier Motors from erecting a monument sign, a form of signage that is necessary for identification purposes. I' N ROW-11 M 10 1 1Mi There is no fiscal impact associated with the proposed encroachment agreement. Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Encroachment Agreement with Crevier Motors, Inc. to permit the placement of a monument sign in the landscaped parkway at the Auto Mall.
