If it can be demonstrated there are sufficient apron front sites to accommodate the projected five-year demand for such sites, lease of such sites in zone A-1 west of taxiway “A” as shown on the 1998 Airport Layout Plan for the Marina Municipal Airport for uses not requiring direct access to the aircraft operating areas shall be allowed and limited to five years unless extended by the city; and lease of such sites in zone A-1 north and east of taxiway “A” as shown on the 1998 Airport Layout Plan for the Marina Municipal Airport for uses not requiring direct access to the aircraft operating areas may be provided with FAA approval. In these instances, all costs associated with termination of the use or removal of related facilities shall be the sole responsibility of the lessee. One year prior to expiration of the lease the city shall seek leases from qualifying aviation-related uses. If the city is unable to lease the site to such uses within six months, it may elect to renew the lease of the current lessee for an additional five years with FAA approval.

B. Landscape Screening. The recommended method of screening of outdoor storage areas, refuse collection facilities, and loading areas is by means of building siting and use of walls architecturally integrated into the overall building architecture. If landscape materials are used for purposes of screening such facilities, landscaping should adhere to the following standards:

A. General Requirements.

B. Public Safety. All provisions of this section shall meet the public safety requirements set forth below:

C. Street Landscaping. Street landscaping provisions encompass the landscaping of areas within the street right-of-way, medians and parkways, and front setbacks of adjoining parcels. Landscaping shall be provided within all street rights-of-way and front setbacks in accordance with the guidelines listed in Table 3 and provisions set forth below. The employment of planting provisions and species listed in this table should be coordinated with the UC MBEST Center for those street segments adjoining the UC MBEST Center.

D. Parking Area Landscaping. Landscaping should be provided along the perimeter of parking areas to spatially distinguish and partially screen parking areas from adjoining streets, buildings, and landscaped areas. The interior of multi-bay parking areas should be landscaped to minimize the visibility of paved surfaces and provide shade and rain protection.

E. Usable Landscaped Areas. Where usable outdoor space is required for use and enjoyment of employees, at least one-third of the required area shall have an attractive and durable surface (such as paving, or crushed rock) to permit daily use of the area. Additional provision shall be made for seating within this area.

A. General Standards and Guidelines. The following standards and those within Chapter 17.46 shall not apply to FAA-required airport operational signs in the airport operational areas, e.g., near runways, taxilanes and/or ramps. Instead, such signs shall be governed by FAA requirements:

B. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified the following definitions shall apply to all signs within the Marina Municipal Airport and Airport Business Park:

“Applied letter sign” means a sign consisting of copy only (letters and symbols) with no frame or border in which the copy is either painted or applied directly in the form of cut-outs to the building exterior.

“Awning sign” means a sign integral with an awning.

“Background area of a sign” means the entire background area of a sign upon which copy could be placed. In computing the background area of a sign, only the face seen from any one direction at a time shall be counted.

“Building complex sign” means a sign located on an access road or entrance drive, identifying groups of buildings served by that road or drive.

“Building identification sign” means a sign identifying the name and/or number of an individual building.

“Comprehensive signage program” means a program establishing the design characteristics of a coordinated set of signs for a single project or area.

“Copy area of sign” means the actual area of the sign copy applied to any background. In computing copy area, straight lines drawn closest to the copy extremities encompassing individual letters, words, or symbols shall be used.

“Directional sign” means a sign designed to guide or direct motorist or pedestrian traffic and identifying vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress, internal circulation, and location and limitations of parking.

“Directory sign” means a sign identifying either the location of individual building in a complex of buildings or the tenants of a specific building.

“Monument sign” means a freestanding sign having either no supporting base or a supporting base with a minimum dimension of at least one-third of the maximum horizontal dimension of the sign and a vertical dimension of less than twenty percent of the maximum height of the sign.

“Sign area” means, for applied letter signs, the copy area; for all other signs, the background area.

“Tenant identification sign” means a sign identifying the business occupants of a building or space within a building.

“Wall sign” means a sign affixed in any manner to the exterior wall of a building which does not project more than eight inches from the wall surface and does not extend above the parapet, eaves, or building facade to which it is attached.

“Window sign” means a sign affixed or applied to either the interior or exterior of a glazed surface such that the sign background remains transparent and the sign copy is visible from areas accessible to the public.

A. All new exterior lighting within the airport planning area shall be designed so as to create no glare or interference with aircraft in flight. Such lighting shall be constructed and located so that only the intended area is illuminated and off-site glare is fully controlled. The lighting shall be arrayed in such a manner that it cannot be mistaken for airport approach or runway lights by pilots. Project lighting plans shall be approved by the airport manager or his/her designee.

B. Exterior lighting should accomplish a generally subdued and uniform lighting pattern with a minimum potential for glare with combinations of multiple indirect lighting sources as opposed to fewer, more powerful direct lighting sources.

C. Where direct lighting sources cannot be avoided, such as on pole-mounted fixtures in parking lots, diffusers shall be incorporated into the design of the fixture and the lighting source as well as the diffuser shall be mounted above or flush with an opaque fixture housing.

D. General site and parking lot lighting should tend towards warmer color spectrum which is typical of incandescent and sodium-vapor lighting sources.

E. Light sources which tend towards more white, daylight, or cooler colors in light spectrum should be limited to locations where a more accurate color rendition is important such as at building entrances and exits (for security reasons), or the lighting of signs, or the lighting of unique or special building or site features.

F. The lighting plan should be considered together with the landscaping plan and the effect of proposed planting, particularly the impact of proposed trees upon the effectiveness of proposed lighting.

G. Landscape plantings and solid fencing at the perimeter of the project site should be incorporated into the design of the lighting plan as an additional means of limiting light-related impacts on surrounding property, particularly light-sensitive land uses such as residential areas and native habitat.

H. Street lighting shall be installed pursuant to a set of common design standards approved by the city council. (Ord. 2020-07 § 2, 2020; Ord. 2003-06 § 1, 2003; Ord. 2000-10 § 1, 2000)
