Item one report from Development Services Recommendation to receive supporting documentation into the record, conclude the public hearing and declare the ordinance. Amending the Zoning Regulation of Long Beach Municipal Code Title 21 Relating to the regulation of billboards. Read the first time and lead over to the next regular meeting of the City Council for Final Reading. Southwest. Mayor are members of city council making stout presentation will be Amy Bullock, Director of Development Services Department. Mr. Mayor, members of the City Council, we are here today to have a first reading of the billboard ordinance based on direction that you provided to staff back in January. Specifically, we made modifications to the language to allow development agreements to be utilized in the event that copies cannot be utilized. And that we also made changes to the regulations requiring private room prior or removal of billboards that are to be demolished before a building permit can be issued for construction of a new billboard. We have made additional minor amendments to the language to reflect suggestions that have been provided to us by billboard companies related to the Outdoor Advertising Act when they preempt the city. We've also made some clarifications on how we would measure light and glare studies and the technical specifications related to that. We have provided consistency now that previously did not exist in distances that billboards can be allowed, electronic billboards can be allowed from residential districts or institutional and park districts. And we've provided some other clean up language that you have in your red line version. The sum result of this is, I believe that we have struck a balance and have two different processes that various companies can use, depending on whether they have a lot of inventory or no inventory in the city in order to achieve the goals of electronic billboards in specified locations, and then clearly the removal of billboards in the neighborhoods where they may not be as appropriate. So with that, I'm going to wait to answer any questions that really does conclude my staff report, and we're available to answer any technical questions you may have. Mr. Mayor, do you like a motion. As always, in order. Moved to accept the staff recommendation? I believe there's three. Mr. Page, want to help me here? Three separate votes. Excuse me. Yes, Mayor Foster, members of the City Council. There is a ordinance and two resolutions. Can one motion cover all three? No, we need three. So the appropriate thing is just to take the motion to adopt the ordinance first. Correct. Okay. So moved. Moving, seconded. All right. Any questions from council members on this? Any public comment? Janeane members cast your votes on the ordinance. Motion carries. Thank you. Go to the first resolution. So moved that moved and seconded a any comments or questions from council members? Any public comment saying none members cast your votes on the second resolution.
