timetable for nonconforming signs; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City of Santa Ana to
retain, under the police power, its authority to amend and enforce
zoning laws as they apply to all real property uses;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Santa Ana:
1. That it does oppose and strongly urge all cities of
