• (d) Preserve the diverse mix of land use types while attracting a more diversified commercial base that creates a shopping destination and contributes to a more pedestrian-friendly environment;

• (e) Encourage infill development that contributes to creating a compact walkable environment important to a vital town center;

• (f) Support businesses and attract new investment through enhanced safety and security measures, development incentives, a high level of amenities and adaptive reuse standards;

• (g) Create fine-grained detail in architectural and urban form that provides interest and complexity at the level of the pedestrian and bicyclist;

• (h) Enhance public safety by improving street lighting, public services, streetscapes and alleys, and police surveillance;

• (i) Support multimodal transportation that improves ease of access to a variety of transportation methods such as walking, cycling and public transit;

• (k) Preserve and highlight historic features that make Old Town Placentia a unique destination;

• (l) Provide for public gathering spaces and small passive recreation places;

• (m) Improve connections between Old Town and the region through increased transit ridership and the provision of hubs for various transportation;

• (n) Maintain an adequate level of parking and access for automobiles;

• (o) Continue to brand Old Town Placentia through wayfinding, welcome signs, banners, public art, creative public spaces, a focal point (i.e., gazebo), etc.;

• (p) Create a physical and visual connection with the TOD Packing House District to the south through interconnected plazas on both sides of the rail line; and

• (q) Ensure high quality architecture (three hundred sixty (360) degree design) that embraces the character of Old Town and its architecture and urban design.

  • (1) Multiple Uses. Any one or more land use identified by Table 1 as being allowable within Old Town may be established on any parcel, subject to the planning permit requirement listed in the table, and in compliance with all applicable requirements of this code.

  • (2) Unlisted Uses. The development services director may determine an unlisted use is similar to another allowable permitted or conditionally permitted use and if all of the following findings can be made:

    • (A) The use is no greater in density or intensity than other uses allowed, or conditionally allowed in the planning subarea;

    • (B) The use is compatible with permitted or conditionally permitted uses in the planning subarea;

    • (C) The use will meet the purpose of the planning subarea;

    • (D) The use is consistent with the goals and policies of the general plan; and

    • (E) The use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare. Applicants may appeal this decision using the use conformity determination process, outlined in Section 23.39.035 of the PMC.

  • (3) Residential Uses. In the R-2 overlay area as shown on the Old Town Zoning District planning subarea map, existing and residential are permitted pursuant to Chapter 23.15 of the zoning code.

(b) Permit Requirements. Table 1 provides for land uses that are:

• (1) Permitted. These uses are permitted subject to compliance with all applicable provisions of this chapter and may require a development plan review or site plan review in compliance with Chapter 23.75 of the PMC. These uses are shown as “P” uses in Table 1. All new construction projects as defined in this chapter and in this zone must be reviewed by the planning and development ad hoc committee.

• (2) Conditionally Permitted Uses. These uses are allowed subject to the approval of a use permit and require a public hearing before the planning commission in compliance with Chapter 23.87 of the PMC. These uses are shown as a “UP” in Table 1. All proposed projects in this zone must be reviewed by the planning and development ad hoc committee.

• (3) Not Permitted. These uses are not permitted, and shown as “NP” in Table 1. A land use that is not listed in Table 1 is not allowed within the district, except as otherwise provided in Section 23.112.030(a)(3). Uses that are expressly listed as not permitted are prohibited.

• (c) Standards for Specific Land Uses. Where the last column in Table 1 (Specific Use Regulations) includes a section number, the regulations in the referenced section of this chapter and/or the PMC apply to the use. Provisions in other sections of this chapter may also apply.

• (4) Safeguard and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare; and

• (5) Promote the pedestrian scale of the district.

  • (a) Applicability.

  • (E) Any sign installed or placed within the public right-of-way other than in compliance with this section shall be forfeited to the public and be subject to confiscation.

• (3) Sign Design. The following design criteria shall be used in reviewing the design of individual signs. Substantial conformance with each of the following design criteria shall be required before a sign permit or building permit can be approved.

• (A) Color. Colors on signs and structural members should be harmonious with one another and relate to the dominant colors of the buildings on the site. Contrasting colors may be utilized if the overall effect of the sign is still compatible with building colors.

  • (B) Design and Construction.

    • (i) Except where otherwise permitted by elsewhere in this section, each sign shall be constructed of permanent materials and shall be permanently attached to the ground, a building, or another structure by direct attachment to a rigid wall, frame, or structure.

    • (ii) Each permanent sign shall be designed by a professional (e.g., architect, building designer, landscape architect, interior designer, or others whose principal business is the design, manufacture, or sale of signs), or who are capable of producing professional results.

    • (iii) Each permanent sign shall be constructed by persons whose principal business is building construction or a related trade including sign manufacturing and installation, or others capable of producing professional results. The intent is to ensure public safety, achieve signs of careful construction, neat and readable copy, and durability, to reduce maintenance costs and prevent dilapidation.

  • (C) Materials and Structure.

    • (i) Sign materials (including framing and supports) shall be representative of the type and scale of materials used on the site where the sign is located. Sign materials shall match those used on the buildings on the site and any other signs on the site.

  • (ii) No sign shall include reflective material.

  • (iii) Materials for permanent signs shall be durable and capable of withstanding weathering over the life of the sign with reasonable maintenance.

  • (iv) The size of the structural members (e.g., columns, crossbeams, and braces) shall be proportional to the sign panel they are supporting.

  • (v) The use of individual letters incorporated into the building design is encouraged, rather than a sign with background and framing other than the structure wall.

• (D) Street Address. The review authority may require that a sign include the street address of the site, where it determines that public safety and emergency vehicle response would be more effectively served than if the street address were displayed solely on one (1) or more buildings on the site.

• (E) Copy Design Guidelines. The city does not regulate the message content (copy) of signs; however, the following are principles of copy design and layout that can enhance the readability and attractiveness of signs. Copy design and layout consistent with these principles is encouraged, but not required.

  • (i) Sign copy should relate only to the name and/or nature of the business or commercial center.

  • (ii) Permanent signs that advertise continuous sales, special prices, or include phone numbers are prohibited.

• (iii) Information should be conveyed briefly or by logo, symbol, or other graphic manner. The intent should be to increase the readability of the sign and thereby enhance the identity of the business.

  • (iv) The area of letters or symbols should not exceed forty (40) percent of the sign area in commercial uses or sixty (60) percent for residential uses.

  • (v) Freestanding signs should contain the street address of the parcel or the range of addresses for a multi-tenant center.

• (F) Sign Lighting. Sign lighting shall be designed to minimize light and glare on surrounding rights-of-way and properties.

  • (i) External light sources shall be directed and shielded so that they do not produce glare off the site, on any object other than the sign.

  • (ii) Sign lighting shall not blink, flash, flutter, or change light intensity, brightness, or color.

    • (iii) Colored lights shall not be used at a location or in a manner so as to be confused or construed as traffic control devices.

    • (iv) Neither the direct nor reflected light from primary light sources shall create hazards for pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles.

    • (v) For energy conservation, light sources shall be hard-wired fluorescent or compact fluorescent lamps, or other lighting technology that is of equal or greater energy efficiency. Incandescent lamps are prohibited.

  • (4) Sign Maintenance.

    • (A) Each sign and supporting hardware, including temporary signs and awning signs, shall be maintained in good repair and functioning properly at all times. Any damage to a sign or its illumination, including the failure of illumination shall be repaired within a maximum of fourteen (14) days from the date of damage or failure.

    • (B) A repair to a sign shall be of materials and design of equal or better quality as the original sign.

    • (C) A sign that is not properly maintained and is dilapidated shall be deemed a public nuisance, and may be abated in compliance with the city’s zoning code.

    • (D) When an existing sign is removed or replaced, all brackets, poles, and other supports that are no longer required shall be removed, and any/all damage to the exterior of the building shall be repaired/repainted to the satisfaction of the development services director or designee. When an existing sign is removed, the repairs must match surface type and color of building exactly.

• (d) Sign Standards by Use. Each sign shall comply with the standards provided by this section and comply with the requirements in the following Table 4, except as permitted by the approval of a creative sign permit described below.

• (e) Master Sign Program. All mixed use projects shall require a master sign program, which is reviewed and approved by the decision-making body in each case. A “master sign plan” means a coordinated program of signage for new or existing commercial, office or residential which contain more than one business establishment or tenant. The master sign program can permit signs that meet the intent and standards of the Sign Code and ensure that the all signs are integrated thoughtfully into the design of the structures, creating a unified architectural statement. The master sign program provides a means for defining common sign regulations for multi-tenant projects, to encourage maximum incentive and latitude in the design and display of multiple signs, and to achieve, not circumvent, the intent of this chapter.

  • (1) Application Requirements Revisions to Master Sign Programs. A sign permit application for a master sign program shall include all information and materials required by the department, and the filing fee set by the city’s fee resolution. Revisions to a master sign program may be approved by the director with a standard sign permit if the intent of the original approval is not affected. Revisions that would substantially deviate from the original approval shall require the approval of a new master sign program.

  • (2) Standards. A master sign program shall comply with the following standards:

    • (A) The program shall comply with the purpose of this chapter;

    • (B) The signs shall enhance the overall development, be in harmony with, and relate visually to other signs included in the master sign program, to the structures or developments they identify, and to surrounding development;

    • (C) The program shall accommodate future revisions that may be required because of changes in use or tenants; and

    • (D) The program shall comply with the standards of this chapter, except that flexibility is allowed with regard to sign area, number, location, or height to the extent that the master sign program will enhance the overall development and will more fully accomplish the purposes of this chapter.

• (f) Creative Sign Permit.

  • (1) Definition Creative Sign Permit. Applicants may apply for a creative sign permit for those signs which are not listed or which exceed the provisions of this chapter. The creative sign permit is intended for signs that meet the intent and standards of the sign code, but may not necessarily meet the standards shown in Table 4. An applicant may request approval of a creative sign permit to authorize on-site signs that employ standards that differ from the other provisions of this chapter but comply with the intent of this chapter.

  • (2) Revisions to a master sign program may be approved by the director with a standard sign permit if the intent of the original approval is not affected. Revisions that would substantially deviate from the original approval shall require the approval of a new master sign program.

• (3) Purpose. To encourage signs of unique design, and that exhibit a high degree of thoughtfulness, branding, imagination, inventiveness, and spirit; and to provide a process for the application of sign regulations in ways that will allow creatively designed signs that make a positive visual contribution to the overall image of the city, while mitigating the impacts of large or unusually designed signs.

  • (4) Application and Procedure Requirements. A sign permit application for a creative sign shall include all information and materials required by the department, and the filing fee set by the city’s fee resolution. A sign permit application for a creative sign shall be subject to review and approval by the director of development services when the proposed sign is fifty (50) square feet or less, and by the commission when the sign is larger than fifty (50) square feet. Notification for a sign permit for a creative sign shall be given in the same manner specified by this zoning ordinance for director-approved development permits.

  • (5) Design Criteria. In approving an application for a creative sign, the review authority shall ensure that a proposed sign meets the following design criteria.

• (A) Design Quality Criteria. The sign shall: (i) constitute a substantial aesthetic improvement to the site and shall have a positive visual impact on the surrounding area; (ii) be of unique design, and exhibit a high degree of thoughtfulness, imagination, inventiveness, and spirit; and (iii) provide strong graphic character through the imaginative use of graphics, color, texture, quality materials, scale, and proportion.

• (B) Contextual Criteria. The sign shall contain at least one of the following elements: (i) classic historic design style; (ii) creative image reflecting current or historic character of the city; (iii) symbols or imagery relating to the citrus packing industry; or (iv) inventive representation of the use, name, or logo of the structure or business.

• (C) Architectural Criteria. The sign shall: (i) utilize or enhance the architectural elements of the building; and (ii) be placed in a logical location in relation to the overall composition of the building’s façade and not cover any key architectural features and details of the façade.

• (D) Neighborhood Impacts. The sign shall be located and designed not to cause light and glare impacts on neighboring residential uses.
