Approve a 12 month renewal of the Encroachment Permit for the eight (8) private banners on San Clemente Drive and authorize the Public Works Director to approve future annual renewals, and 2. Approve the installation of private banners on Newport Center Drive East/West ('Ring Road "). a. Approve the installation of private banners for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days in accordance with City Council Policy L -16 or b. Approve the installation of private banners for ninety (90) consecutive calendar days with conditions. DISCUSSION: The applicant (Orange County Museum of Art) has requested that the current eight (8) private banners previously approved by City Council for twelve (12) months on November 10, 1997, be installed for another twelve (12) month period in San Clemente Drive public right -of -way adjacent to the Museum at 850 San Clemente Drive (see attached letter). The banners will be mounted on street light poles along the San Clemente Drive right -of -way as before, per the attached Exhibit "A ". In addition, the applicant has requested permission to retain the banner installation on San Clemente Drive on an annual basis. The applicant has complied with the City Council's conditions of approval for the banners installed in San Clemente Drive public right -of -way. During the past 12 months there has not been any report of public complaints, mechanical problems with the banners or brackets, or any evidence of damages to City street light poles. Accordingly, staff recommends the Public Works Director be authorized to approve future annual renewals of this permit. SUBJECT: ORANGE COUNTY MUSEMUM OF ART October 12, 1998 Page 2 In addition, Orange County Museum of Art has requested thirty (30) banners on Newport Center Drive East/West ( "Ring Road ") for ninety (90) consecutive calendar days beginning from October 15, 1998 to January 15, 1998, per attached Exhibit "B ". Staff does not support this request for the following reasons: 1. Prevents the City and/or other organizations from installing banners for other special events (i.e. Holidays, Rose Bowl, etc.). 2. Allowing additional banners concurrently in the same area for other events can clutter and cause confusion. This problem would increase during the Holidays in the Fashion Island shopping /business district. 3. May set precedence and lead to similar requests which would not be consistent with City Council Policy. In accordance with City Council Policy L -16, the applicant can be granted a permit to install the banners for a maximum of thirty (30) days. The banners proposed by Orange County Museum of Art on San Clemente Drive and Newport Center Drive East/West ( "Ring Road ") will alternate between banners with their name (Orange County Museum of Art) and banners with the name of the artist/exhibit. Should the City Council elect to approve renewal of the private banners on San Clemente Drive and the installation of private banners on Newport Center Drive East/West ( "Ring Road ") for thirty (30) or ninety (90) days, staff recommends the following conditions of approval: 1. A maximum of 8 street light poles shall be used on San Clemente Drive. 2. A maximum of 30 street light poles shall be used on Newport Center Drive East/West ( "Ring Road ") for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days only. 3.
