PUBLIC HEARINGS: 7.a. CONSIDERATION OF A HOME-BASED BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PLAN � Economic Development Director Sheeley highlighted the staff repo�t. Members of the audience present to hear the item were asked to sign in�for the record. She explained that the City had received a Pianning and Technical Assistance Grant from the State of California Community Development Block Grant Program to prepare a Home-Based Business Development Plan. She noted that Wes Ervin from Applied Development Economics was present. . After being assured that the public hearing had been duly published and all legai requirements met, Mayor Lady opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no comments from the audience, Mayor Lady closed the Pubiic Hearing. � Council Member Tolley stated it was an interesting report with some interesting concepts. He referred to page 7 of the Plan titled "Element 1 — Committed locai leadership" and read the section for the record. He said that he agreed with the statements in the report and that the Council had been doing a good job in improving its commitment by adopting clear policies and programs. Council Member Runels agreed that it was a good report. He said it seems that most of the small businesses in the City are content to stay where they are. He said streamlining the regulation process so that smatl businesses could move forward was a good idea. � Council Member Dickens stated as a City looking after the small b�siness community, there was a need to promote an atmosphere to help small businesses be successful. He noted in the list of objectives the need to work collaboratively with the Economic Vitality Corporation and other professional development agencies to make sure that the City was supporting home-based businesses. Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara commended the consultant on a good, comprehensive report. He referred to the staff report, noting two items listed as the City's best diversification opportunities. He said the issue of redevelopment was missing and redevelopment opportunities as they relate to promoting small home-based businesses. He said redevelopment was an area that the City needed to emphasize as a diversification opportunity. Further, he asked for clarification as he referred to conflicting statements in the report that the City shoutd encourage home-based businesses to grow, create new jobs, graduate into office, manufacturing, and other commercial space, while the survey results indicated that Arroyo Grande home-business owners are content and prefer to work at home. ' 2 . � � CITY COUNCIL/REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES JANUARY 25, 2000 Wes Ervin, Sr. Associate at Applied Development Economics, Inc., responded � that the original premise of the report was based on the fact that the City had a couple of home-based businesses which started out in garages and evolved into office space outside of the City. He explained that the office space needed was , larger than what Arroyo Grande had the capacity to provide. He said once the study of home-based businesses began, they found that home-business owners � were reasonabty happy with .their situation. He said there were about twenty companies that might be interested in growth and expansion. In response to diversification, he explained that in the report they were seeking to identify Arroyo Grande's best opportunities for economic growth and diversification. He said they narrowed it down to 1) growing small husinesses, including home- based businesses, and 2) creating additional land for more industrial uses, larger office and commercial spaces. He said at the time of the study, the Arroyo Linda project was being discussed and promoted. In response to redevelopment, Mr. Ervin stated that the Redevelopment Plan was an excellenf tool for assisting small businesses through loan programs and working with companies on relocation. ' Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara asked the Consultant to expand on the redevelopment issue in the report. Mr. Ervin stated it was mentioned as a tool; however, it could be looked at in more depth. There was discussion relating to the various loan programs available through the Economic Vitality Corporation and how viable the programs might be for small home-based business owners. There was further discussion about the involvement of the Chamber of Commerce in promoting the program and emphasizing its partne�ship with the City, and linking the Redevelopment Implementation Plan, and the Economic Development Strategic Plan with the Home-Based Business Development Plan for the City so that there was one strategy for the City. _ Mayor Pro Tem Ferrara moved to approve the final Home-Based Business Development Plan report prepared by Applied Development Economics as modified to include amplification in the report of the consistency with the Redevelopment strategy for the City as a diversifcation opportunity; and further amplification of the partnership with the Chamber of Commerce aligned with the eight-point program described in the report. Council Member Dickens seconded the motion.

AMENDMENT TO PORTIONS OF TITLE 9. SECTION 13 (SIGN REGULATIONS) AND SECTION 18 (DEFINITIONS) OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE Contract Planner Prutch highlighted the staff report. He explained that Council had previously directed staff to examine the possibility of allowing portable signs in the City. He stated that staff recommended the Council introduce an Ordinance amending the Development Code to allow portable signs within the C ity. Council Member Dickens asked for clarification on whether or not it was recommended that portable signs be separated by a minimum of 25 feet along building frontages. Contract Planner Prutch replied that this amendment was removed and would not be included in the portable sign standards. After being assured that the public hearing had been duly published and all legal requirements met, Mayor Lady opened the Public Hearing. Hearing no comments, Mayor Lady closed the Public Hearing. Council discussion and questions included the intent to help small business owners be more creative in advertising; monitoring and enforceability issues; design standacds for portable signs; concerns about upkeep of portable signs; the possibility of allowing portable signs only for promotional or special events; sign permit expenses; and review of the comments made by the Architectural Review Committee and Planning Commission. Mayor Lady commented that the business owners and complaints about code enforcement brought this issue to his attention. He stated that the City has a responsibility to support business and portable signs have the potential to enhance a business. He suggested allowing portable signs on a trial basis. Interim City Manager TerBorch explained legal issues relating to the Development , Code. He suggested that if Council adopted the Ordinance and made the change, it could direct staff to come back in one year with an evaluation report of the effectiveness of portable signs. City Attorney Carmel confirmed that portable signs are currently prohibited under the Code and the Code would have to be amended to allow them. He said the most effective way was to enact the Ordinance, evaluate it in year, and if it was found to be ineffective amend the Code back to prohibit portable signs. 4 CITY COUNeIURE�DEVELOPMENT AGENCY MINUTES ' JANUARY 25, 200 Council Member Runels moved to introduce for first reading an Ordinance of the it Council of the City of Arroyo Grande amendiNg Co�able s gnsa and ff'rther C y , of the Arroyo to rbr n henissue back to�the' Council in one year for review. directing staff 9 IVlayor Pro Tem Ferrara secon�led the motion.
