ESTABLISHMENT BY THE CITY OF ZONING REGULATIONS FOR SUCH
USE; SAID ORDINANCE TO BE ADOPTED AS AN URGENCY ORDINANCE
PURSUANT TO SECTION 511 OF THE DOWNEY MUNICIPAL CHARTER
SECTION 65858 OF THE GOVERNMENT CODE
Mr. Cutts explained the Planning Commission has recommended adoption of
an urgency Ordinance concerning installation of satellite dish antennas
because decisions and recommendations are not ready at the Commission level
for Council consideration. The Commission will be conducting a hearing on
this matter on October 2nd.
Mr. Joel Lubin, 7820 Allengrove, expressed concern that certain facts are
not being considered with regard to the number of antennas in the City, where
they are, and how many would be in violation. He suggested Council not pass
the Ordinance unless it gives guidance on how it wants this matter studied.
Councilwoman Boggs concurred with sending guidelines to the Commission
for considering the aesthetics of the community.
Mr. Cutts said the Planning Commission has studied this matter at a
number of meetings and is looking at development standards.
Mayor Davila favors an Ordinance to protect the City from blight.
A change was noted in the third paragraph of the Ordinance, third line,
wherein the word "due" was inserted between "antennas" and "to."
The Ordinance was read in its entirety. It was moved by Councilman
Cormack, seconded by Councilman Santangelo, and passed by unanimous vote to
adopt.
Mayor Davila declared a recess at 7:50 p.m., at which time the Council
convened as the Community Development Commission. During the Commission
meeting Councilman Santangelo was excused at 7:57 p.m.
