C�s�1t p�ooedu're on sign app�o�val: Steve Smith reported that the Director of Planning had recently made a decision that all sign applications would come to the A.R.C. for approval with the exception of previously appraved sign programs. June with Signs by Mel was present to address the cannission on this procedure. June asked if city could provide sane type of book outlinin�r the requirements for signs. She felt that havirig to attend A.R.C. meetings twice a month to have her signs approved is putti.ng her in quite a predicamerzt. Commissianer Holden stated that the problem is that there are always exceptions which need to be heard by the caimission prior to approval. Commission Urrutia felt that as long as the applicant met the sign guidelines than staff should be able to apprave the sign. Mr. Smi.th reported that in the past staff could apprave the signs under $1,500. 8 . �. .�, � ARQ�IITF]C7.[7RAL REVIEW C�T�IISSIOI�I JAN[7ARY 9, 1990 Catmissioner Urrutia asked if staff could redefine sign guidelines making it clearer to applicants. Chairman Gregory agreed that exceptions should be made and that a sign pr�ogram could be developed when aa�mercial/industrial buildings are sulxnitted to the city for permits. He did not feel these types of signs should have to cane to A.R.C. for approval. 2. Ac3aption of Ordinance No. 583 - Pat Bedrosian presented a video on various recreational vehicles parked on private property throughout Palm Desert. He infornled comn.ission that council had originally passed an ordinance where recreational vehicles were to be parked in the back lots only. If that was riot possible, property awners could park in the front of the property with proper screening of the vehicles. Mr. Bedrosian explained the different fornis that will be coming from staff to the A.R.C. suggesting appraval or deriial of the property owners requests. Cannissioner Holden felt that their should be a code enforcement commission voting on this type of program. He stated that these cases are not architectural and the camLissi� could rx�t enforce the appraval or denial of these requests. VI.
