Allow Open
House Signs to

Public Right-of-

amending Chapter 20 of the Burbank Municipal Code to authorize temporary
�Open House� real estate signs to be placed in the public right-of-way.�
|

Notice

|
|
Staff
Report |
Mr. Hirsch,
Assistant Community Development Director/ License and Code Services,
requested that the Council consider two ordinance options which would
allow the posting of real estate Open House signs within certain public
rights-of-way. He reported that at the November 4, 2003 Council meeting,
staff was directed to work with the Burbank Association of Realtors to
formulate an ordinance allowing the posting of Open House signs within the
public right-of-way. He noted that staff�s main concerns at that time
included: First Amendment issues which have been addressed by a finding
that real estate sales generate revenues to the City through Property
Taxes; and, the Equal Protection issue with regard to only allowing
professional real estate brokers the right to place signs which has been
addressed by providing for the ability of any residential property owner
to place signs as well. He also stated that staff expressed other
concerns related to liability and safety issues, aesthetics and staffing
issues relative to initiating a new ordinance.
Mr. Hirsch informed
the Council that the two proposed ordinance options are similar; however,
Option No. 1 differs from Option No. 2 in that it requires a permit,
permit fees and liability insurance. He then discussed the following
restrictions and standards:
1.
Size
of sign - face of sign may be no larger than 24� X 24�
2.
Height
of sign - total height, including frame, not to exceed three feet
3.
Local
address - only a Burbank residence may be advertised on the Open House
sign
4.
Limit
in number - no more than four signs per property advertised may be posted
on public property
5.
Sign
types - stake-type or A-frame signs may be used and no attachments such as
balloons, pennants or flags may be added to the sign. Furthermore, all
signs must be made of quality materials and maintained in good condition
at all times
6.
Location - Open House signs may not be posted on:
-
Trees, traffic
signs or utility poles, or obstruct any official public sign
-
Signs may not
obstruct the safe and convenient use by the public of any street,
sidewalk or curbside parkway areas
-
Signs may not be
placed in any roadway area or center median area
-
Placement of signs
may not in any manner violate the American with Disabilities Act (curb
cuts blocking disabled access)
-
Signs may not be
within 18� from the face of the curb
-
Signs may not be
on streets undergoing construction, nor on streets with special events
-
Signs may not be
within five feet of the beginning of the curb return of any two
intersections
-
Signs may not be
within five feet of any driveway, traffic signal, traffic sign,
designated bus stop, bus bench or any other bench on the sidewalk
7.
Time -
Signs may only be displayed during an open house on Saturdays, Sundays,
and Federal and State holidays between
8:00 a.m.
and dusk or 6:00 p.m., and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
8.
Permit
- A permit shall be obtained from the Public Works Department which
includes: fees paid; insurance (combined single limit of at least
$1,000,000 for each permit); indemnification; and, decal application onto
the Open House sign
9.
Identification required - Each sign shall have affixed to it, in an area
not to exceed 2� X 3�, the name, address, and telephone number of the
person responsible for the placing of maintaining the sign within the
public right-of-way.
Mr. Hirsch also
noted that both ordinances have a one-year sunset clause and that staff
will provide a report prior to that time. He added that staff estimates
that if the Council adopts ordinance Option No. 1, because of the
insurance and permit system requirement, the estimated cost of
administration and enforcement for the first year will be $13,629. He
stated that staff and the Burbank Association of Realtors estimate that
approximately 1,200 Open House sign permits may be applied for annually.
He added that if the City were to recover costs associated with an Open
House sign permit program, appropriate permit fees are recommended to be
$11 per sign per year, with the fee prorated on a fiscal year basis. He
informed the Council that staff will undertake an elaborative educational
process including brochures, presentations and a video to inform the
public of the new ordinance. He also noted that the Burbank Association
of Realtors will educate their membership on the ordinance. He concluded
with staff�s recommendation that the Council select Option No. 1.

Mr. Hanway, Financial Services Director,
acknowledged receipt
of a letter from the Burbank Hilton Hotel in opposition to the

presented the proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2004-05 Annual Budget, Citywide
Fee Schedule including an increase in the TPT, and Appropriations Limit to
the Council, Redevelopment Agency Board, Housing Authority, Parking
Authority and Youth Endowment Services Fund Board for a public hearing.
He stated that all resources for FY 2004-05 totaled $474,636,370 of which
the General Fund is $117,015,848. He also reported that all
appropriations total $466,101,030 of which $115,006,841 is General Fund.
He then discussed the appropriations by fund type and entity and noted
that the main components of the proposed growth or changes in the FY
2004-05 budget include: additional Public Employee Retirement System (PERS)
costs in the amount of $2.8 million; a net increase of $1.8 million for
Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) costs; $1,069,058 increase in Internal

Burbank Water and
Power (BWP) Utility Users Tax (UUT) In-Lieu Set-Aside Account;
and, $22,252 in other net changes for a total increase in revenue in the
amount of $725,791. On the appropriations side, Mr. Hanway stated that

Amend BMC
Relating to
Radios, TV Sets
and Similar
Devices in and
Adjacent to Park
Facilities |
Mr. Hansen,
Deputy Park,
Recreation and Community Services Director/Senior and Human Services,
noted that over the past two years, staff has received an increasing
number of complaints from residents living adjacent to park facilities
concerning park patrons� excessive use of amplified sound devices. He
noted that a number of steps have been taken in an attempt to mitigate the
problem, however it has continued. He added that at the February 12, 2004
Park, Recreation and Community Services Board meeting, the issue was
discussed and the Board recommended that the City�s ordinance be amended
to utilize language similar to the California Motor Vehicle Code which
states, �no driver of a vehicle shall operate or permit the operation of
any sound amplification system which can be heard outside the vehicle from
50 feet of more.� He noted that on May 4, 2004, staff presented the
recommendation to the Council and staff was directed to develop language
that would only regulate the impact of un-permitted amplified sound in
park settings which negatively affects the adjacent residential
neighborhoods. He stated that there was also concern that the 50 feet was
somewhat too restrictive. He reported that the proposed addition
establishes a provision that prohibits unreasonable noise generated from
devices for the producing of sounds in parks or the right-of-way adjacent
to parks. He noted that the ordinance creates a presumption that a sound
amplification device which can be heard 75 feet away from the source of
the noise as measured from the closest boundary of the park is unlawful.
He clarified that the ordinance is limited to noise when generated in
parks or in the right-of-way adjacent to parks. He also noted that the
exception to this presumption is if the amplified sound is authorized by a
park permit or other City approval.

Amend BMC
Relating to
Painting Addresses with
Logos |
Ms. Dolan,
Administrative Analyst II, City Manager�s Office, reported that at the
May 25, 2004
Council meeting, Council Member Golonski requested that staff place an
item on the agenda to amend the Burbank Municipal Code to allow nonprofit
organizations to paint addresses with organizational logos on curbs. She
added that Council Member Golonski indicated that his request stems from
his communication with Burbank Priority in Education (BPIE), a foundation
recently established to raise money for Burbank schools, which would like
to begin a program to raise funds by offering to paint address numbers
with a BPIE logo on curbs. She stated that prior to expending any
significant staff effort, this item has been placed on the agenda as the
first step, in what is referred to as the �one-step, two-step process�,
for additional Council discussion and consideration.
Mr. Golonski
reiterated that BPIE suggested painting curbs as an annual project to
raise funds. He noted that curbs would be painted only when the
homeowners indicate their interest. He requested that if approved, the
amendment only allow organizations supporting schools and that the design
and procedure for painting the logos be subject to approval by the Public
Works Director.
Staff was directed
to return with a report.
