REPRESENTATIVE: MR. KARL BATZLEA
FILE COPY
REQUEST: APPROVAL OF TEMPORARY ADVERTISING FOR SCHATZI'S
GRILL
LOCATION: 51-230 EISENHOWER DRIVE
BACKGROUND:
The restaurant is located northwest of Frances Hack Park at Eisenhower Drive and
Avenida Montezuma (Attachment 1).
On October 19, 1995, staff received a- request from Schatzi's Grill to place six
banners on the outside of the existing restaurant (i.e.,within the entry patio only)
informing the general public that they are celebrating "Octoberfest". A copy of the
request is attached (Attachment 2). Initially, the banners were'installed without
benefit of a permit in early October. The City's Code Enforcement Department
notified the owner of the violation and the banners were removed. The banners are
multi -colored and average 2.5-foot length by six-foot width for, a total of .15 square
feet (Attachment 3).
Section 5.64.020 provides, in part, that permits are to be issued for special purposes,
and not on a continuing basis for permanent' advertising or identification
purposes," and further, "... each permit shall be issued for a specific period."
The restaurant has been open for business -since this summer, and since they serve
German food, wish to advertise for "Octoberfest". The owner has already had a
PCGT.126
Grand Opening celebration therefore any additional banners require Planning
Commission review and approval as special advertising devices.
Staff supports the applicant's request because it is a special occasion similar to the
City's Seasonal Sale Signs that allow a 21-day period in each calendar year. Most
of the banners are placed inside the covered patio and, 'therefore, cannot be readily
seen from Eisenhower Drive.
RECOMMENDATION:
By Minute Motion 95-_, approve Special Advertising Device 95-084, subject to the
attached Findings and Conditions of Approval.
Attachments:
1. Location Map
2. Letter from Applicant
