PRIOR ORDINANCE NO.
19-85.WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of
Orange enacted Ordinance No. 19-85, an Interim Ordinance
adopted as an urgency measure, to regulate the
construction of antennas designed to receive radio, television,
or microwave signals located on property zoned or developed
for
residential use;and WHEREAS, said Interim Ordinance is
scheduled to termi-nate approximately June 28, 1985, unless
the City Council takes
further action; and WHEREAS, a proposed permanent ordinance
is being con-sidered in study by the Planning Staff and
the City Planning Commission and will be further discussed in
July and August
of 1985; and WHEREAS, additional time is necessary
for the Planning Commission to consider a permanent ordinance and
for the City Council to adopt, reject, or modify
any such
permanent ordinance; and WHEREAS, Section 65858 of the
Government Code provides that interim ordinances adopted as urgency
measures may be further extended after notice of
public hearing; and WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore
on June 18,1985, conducted a public hearing in which
the question of continuing the aforementioned Interim
Ordinance was duly considered after prior legal notice
in accordance
with law; and WHEREAS, one person appeared in
opposition to the Interim Ordinance and one person appeared in
support of
said Ordinance; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined
that an addi-tional period of not to exceed eight (8) months
from June 18,1985, is needed by the Planning Commission
and Planning Staff to study and develop a
permanent ordinance
WHEREAS, the Planning commission and City Council will,
within the next few months, consider the adoption of a perma-
nent ordinance regulating antennas.
NOW, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED by the City Council of the
City of Orange that the provisions of Interim Ordinance
No. 19-85 shall continue for a period of not to exceed
eight 8) months from June 18, 1985, or until an earlier date
when an ordinance regulating construction of antennas
designed to receive radio, television, or microwave signals
located on property zoned or developed for residential use has
been duly considered and adopted by the City Council and
has become effective or is rejected or modified by the
City Council, whichever first
occurs.Section
II:The reasons for this urgency are as
follows:The City Council has observed that many large
antennas for the receiving of radio, television, or microwave
signals have been constructed on lots zoned and developed for
resi-dential use in the City and that such antennas have
been found to be excessive in size in relation to the size of
the lot devoted to residential use. Therefore, the Council
has determined that the size and locations of such antennas
on properties zoned or developed for residential use in
the City is a problem which should be studied by the City
staff and Planning Commission with the objective of
determining whether there should be limitations placed on the
maximum diameter and height of such
antennas.During the study of this subject of antennas,
the City Council is of the opinion that all construction
of the described antennas on properties zoned or
developed for residential use in the City should be limited
to antennas of the herein specified maximum size and
height during the time this study is in progress. Therefore,
the City Council has determined that no building permit
should be issued for antennas exceeding the aforementioned
maximum heights and diameters prior to the completion of
this study. This study is now estimated to require a periOd
of eight (8) months from June 18, 1985 or such shorter time
as may be required to present to the City Council a
completed proposal for permanent regulation of antenna
construction.Ord. No. 29-
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE hereby enacts
this ordinance as an urgency measure in order to protect
the public health, safety, and welfare.
