FROM: SUPERVISOR NANCY FAHDEN
Costa
DATE: JANUARY 28, 1986 County
SUBJECT: HEIGHT VIOLATION - FOSTER & 17LEISER BILLBOARD ,
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
R.ECOMMENDATION:
That the Board of Supervisors refer a complaint received
from Mr. Marlin Jones, 381 Arthur Road, Martinez,
regarding Foster & Kleiser' s violation of the conditions
of their use permit for their billboard display off I-680
to Anthony Dehaesus, Director of Community Development,
for investigation and action.
o REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
This is, and always has been, a very controversal land
use issue.
The approval of this billboard was made over the strong
objections of the City of Martinez eventhough it' s
location is in their sphere-of-influence.
The Contra Costa Cdunty Planning Commission was strongly
urged to deny Foster & Fleiser' s application for the
following reasons:
1. The precedent-setting effect of project approval
2. The City of Martinez has placed a jurisdiction wide
moratorium on all off-site signs, including billboards,
while it completes preparation of a new sign ordinance.
3 . The billboard has a devastating effect on the visual
quality of both the scenic corridor, the marsh/wetland,
and the proposed City of Martinez Waterfront Business
Park.
