City of Morro Bay, California
The City Council of the City of Morro Bay does ordain as
follows:
SECTION 1. That certain document entitled "Final Budget,
City of Morro Bay, Fiscal Year 1967-68", dated June 27, 1967, is
hereby approved and adopted as the Final Budget for Expenditures
for the City of Morro Bay for the Fiscal Year 1967-68.
SECTION 2. This Ordinance is being enacted to take effect
immediately in accordance with Section 36937 of the Government Code
of the State of California.
A City is required to make, from time to time, a variety of
expenditures in order to provide day to day service for which it is
responsible. The City Council finds and determines that the effi-
ciency and economy of City government would be substantially impaired
if such expenditures could not be made or such obligations incurred
on a daily basis as the need arises.
Section 37208 of the Government Code of the State of California
provides that payment or demands conforming to a budget approved by
ordinance need not be audited by the City Council prior to payment.
The City Council hereby determines that this ordinance is
necessary, under Section 36937 of the Government Code, for the immed-
iate preservation of the public peace, health or safety, and that this
ordinance shall therefore take effect immediately upon its adoption.

ordinance.
Under the provisions of the Government Code, said ordinance was

will be concluded within a reasonable period of time which will result
in the adoption of a comprehensive zoning ordinance which will, in
part, regulate such signs. In addition, Planning Commission has sub-
C�
NO. 60

mitted to the City Council a recommendation for the adoption of a
comprehensive sign ordinance which is in the process of public

therefore, necessary to readopt as an urgency measure this interim
ordinance prohibiting the installation, erection or construction of
on -site signs which may be in conflict with the contemplated zoning
ordinance and sign ordinance.

5308. DESIGN
5308.1 General.
a) Signs and sign structures shall be designed and con-
structed to resist wind and seismic forces as specified
in this section. All bracing systems shall be designed
and constructed to transfer lateral forces to the foun-
dations. For signs on buildings the dead and lateral
loads shall be transmitted through the structural frame
of the building to the ground in such manner as not to
overstress any of the elements thereof.
b) The overturning moment produced from lateral forces
ORDINANCE NO. 58
PAGE EIGHT
shall in no case exceed two-thirds (2/3) of the deadload
resisting moment. Uplift due to overturning shall be
adequately resisted by proper anchorage to the ground or
to the structural frame of the building. The weight of
earth superimposed over footings may be used in determin-
ing the deadload resisting moment. Such earth shall be
carefully placed and thoroughly compacted.
5308.2 Wind Loads. Signs and sign structures shall be designed and
constructed to resist wind forces as specified in Chapter 23
of the 1964 edition of the Uniform Building Code.
5308.3 Seismic Loads. Signs and sign structures shall be designed
and constructed to resist seismic forces as provided in Sec-
tion 2312, Appendix, of the Uniform Building Code.
5308.4 Combined Loads. Wind and seismic loads need not be combined
in the design of signs or sign structures; only that loading
producing the larger stresses need be used. Vertical design loads, ex-
cept roof live loads, shall be assumed to be acting simultaneously with
the wind or seismic loads.
5308.5 Allowable Stresses.
a) The design of wood, concrete, or steel members shall
conform to the requirements of Chapters 25, 26 and 27
of the Uniform Building Code. Loads, both vertical
and horizontal, exerted on the soil shall not produce
stresses exceeding those permitted by Chapter 28 of
the Uniform Building Code.
b) The working stresses of wire rope and its fastenings
shall not exceed twenty-five (25) percent of the ulti-
mate strength of the rope or fasteners.
c) Working stresses for wind or seismic loads combined
with dead loads may be increased as specified in Sec-
tion 2303 of the Uniform Building Code.
5309. CONSTRUCTION
5309.1 General. The supports for all signs or sign structures shall
be placed in or upon private property and shall be securely
built, constructed, and erected in conformance with the requirements of
this ordinance.
5309.2 Materials.

shall be of the quality and grade as specified for
buildings in the Uniform Building Code.
b) In all signs and sign structures the materials and de-
tails of construction shall, in the absence of specified
requirements, conform with the following:
1) Structural steel shall be of such quality as to con-
form with the U.B.C. Standard No. 27-1. Secondary
members in contact with, or directly supporting, the
display surface may be formed of light gauge steel
provided such members are designed in accordance
with the specifications for the design of light
gauge steel as provided in U.B.C. Standards No. 27-2
and No. 27-3 and are galvanized to comply with
American Society for Testing Materials "Standard
Specifications for Zinc -coated Iron and Steel",
A93-46. No minimum thickness is specified. Second-
ary members, when formed integrally with the display
ORDINANCE NO. 58
PAGE NINE
surface, shall be not less than No. 24 gauge in thick-
ness. When not formed integrally with the display
surface, the minimum thickness of the secondary members
shall be No. 12 gauge. The minimum thickness of hot -
rolled steel members furnishing structural support for
signs shall be one-fourth (1/4) inch ungalvanized and
three -sixteenth (3/16) inch if galvanized. Steel pipe
shall be of such quality as to conform with U.B.C.
Standard No. 27-4. Steel members may be connected with
one galvanized bolt provided the connection is adequate
to transfer the stresses in the members.
2) Anchors and supports for signs when of wood which are
imbedded in the soil, or are indirectly in contact
therewith, shall be pressure -treated with an approved
preservative before erection. Such members shall be
marked or branded by an approved agency, or be of
foundation grade redwood.
3) No material, part, portion, or equipment shall be used
in any sign which might become dangerous because of
vibration, corrosion, disintegration, or any other
reason.

5309.5 Anchorage.
a) Members supporting unbraced signs shall be so proportioned
that the bearing loads imposed on the soil in either
direction, horizontal or vertical, shall not exceed the
safe values. Braced ground signs shall be anchored to
resist the specified wind or seismic load acting in any
direction. Anchors and supports shall be designed for
safe bearing loads on the soil and for an effective re-
sistance to pull-out amounting to a force twenty-five (25%)
percent greater than the required resistance to overturning.
b) Portable ground signs supported by frames or posts rigidly
attached to the base shall be so proportioned that the
weight and size of the base will be adequate to resist the
wind pressure specified in Section 5308.2.
c) Signs attached to masonry, concrete, or steel shall be
safely and securely fastened thereto by means of metal
anchors, bolts, or approved expansion screws of sufficient
size and anchorage to support safely the loads applied.
d) No wooden blocks or plugs or anchors with wood used in
connection with screws or nails shall be considered proper
anchorage, except in the case of signs attached to wood
framing.

5203.5 Optional Design and Improvement Standards.
Where a subdivider by written affirmation signified his intent to enhance
the livability and appearance, health, safety, convenience or general welfare of his
proposed subdivision by using new concepts in the arrangement of lots, circulation
pattern to serve such lots and by providing permanent Open Space within the neigh-
borhoods in the proposed subdivision, and by providing appropriate means of access
to blocks, schools, shopping centers and other uses thereby serving and implementing
the intent of this ordinance, he shall comply with the following:
a. Improved design based on density control and better community en-
vironment. The Standards set out in Sections 5203.1 through 5203.4 may be varied
only when the gross density of an area is not increased and where said design has
the approval of the Planning Commission and City Council, and where in their opin-
ion said deviation will:
1. Produce a more desirable and livable community than the mini-
mum requirements herein.
2. Create better community environment through dedication of
public areas, or setting out permanent scenic easements or Open Spaces; rearrange-
ment of lot sizes, reforestation of barren areas.
3. Reduce the danger of erosion.
b. As an incentive to creating better overall communities, the Plan-
ning_ Commission may authorize deviations of up to 75% reduction in lot size but
with no increase in density in the overall development. Said Planning Commission j
may authorize similar deviations from other standards herein, where said devia-
tions are for the purposes outlined above.
C. Before any deviation based on improved design shall be authorized,
it shall be passed by not less than a two-thirds vote of the total membership of the
Planning Commission and approved by the City Council, upon a finding that the
variation as authorized will result in a community which is a substantial improve-
ment over the community which could have been developed by following the require-
ments set out in Sections 5203. and 5204.

criminal offenses, other than a fine, penalty or forfeiture for a
violation of the Vehicle Code or any local ordinance relating to
the stopping, standing, parking, or operation of a vehicle, and
other than for a violation of the Fish and Game Code.. Where
multiple offenses are involved, the penalty assessment shall be
based upon the total fine or bail for all offenses. When a fine
is suspended, in whole or in part, the penalty assessment shall
be reduced in proportion to the suspension..
When any deposit of bail is made for an offense to which
this section applies, the person making such deposit shallalso
deposit a sufficient amount to include the assessment prescribed
in this section for forfeited bail. If bail is forfeited,: the amount
of such assessment shall be transmitted by the clerk of the court
to the county treasury and thence to the State Treasury pursu-
ant to this section. If bail is returned, the assessment made
thereon pursuant to this section shall also be returned.
After a determination by the court of the amount due, the

county treasury. It shall then be transmitted to the State
Treasury to be deposited in the Peace Officers' Training Fund.
The transmission to the State Treasury shall be carried out in
the same manner as fines collected for the State by a county.
In any case where a person convicted of any offense to
which this section applies is imprisoned until the fine is satisfied,
the judge may waive all or any part of the penalty assessment
the payment of which would work a hardship on the person con-
victed or his immediate family. —Amended, Stats. 1963, Chap.

Ordinance No. 42
Page Five
There is not now in existence within the City of Morro
Bay any ordinance or regulation controlling the construction,
erection or installation of on -site signs. The City Planning
Commission, Planning Consultant and City staff are, in good faith
and with diligence, conducting studies which will be concluded
within a reasonable period of time which will result in a contem-
plated zoning proposal regulating such signs. It is therefor
necessary to adopt as an urgency measure this interim ordinance
prohibiting the construction, erection or installation of on -site
signs which may be in conflict with such contemplated zoning pro-
posal.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of
Morro Bay at a special meeting of the City Council held this 4th

The City of Morro Bay, on the 17th day of July, 1964, became
a legal entity, having been certified officially to be an incorp-
orated City. Prior to being incorporated the present City was a
part of the unincorporated area of the County of San Luis Obispo
and ordinances of said County and special districts regulated local
matters. Upon incorporation the laws of the County and the special
districts became ineffective and inoperative so the City is at this
time without certain laws regulating local matters.
This ordinance is required for the abatement of fire hazards
created by the over abundant growth and subsequent drying for grass and
weeds on vacant land within the City. In order to regulate these hazardous
conditions it is therefore necessary thNe-t- the City Council hereby
determines that it is necessary, under Section 36937 of the Government
Code of California, that this ordinance take effect immediately upon
adoption.
