Regular Meeting
September 13, 2006


XI. SIGNS

2. City of Carmel
West end of Ocean Avenue, the Del Mar parking area and Scenic bet Del Mar & Santa Lucia Block(s) C1, C2, A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5

Consideration of a Municipal Project and Coastal Development Permit for the installation of “No Tobacco” signs in the public right-of-way on Scenic Road and Del Mar between Ocean and Santa Lucia Avenues in the Single Family Residential (R-1), Beach and Riparian (BR), Archaeological Significance (AS) and Park (P) Overlay Districts.

COMMENTS:

Open-air smoking along the Beach Bluff Pathway and on Carmel Beach is soon to be deemed illegal by the Planning Commission and the City Council of Carmel-by-the-Sea, while the proliferation of “No Tobacco” signage “pollution” on Scenic Road and the Del Mar Parking Area is deemed acceptable in order to curtail an unenforceable "crime."

Total Number of Existing “Public Parking 5 A.M. – MIDNIGHT” Signs on Scenic Road & Del Mar Parking Area: 25 (12 Signs on Scenic Road between 8th Av. & Santa Lucia Av. and 13 Signs in the Del Mar Parking Area)

Add another approximately 25 “No Tobacco” Signs; a total of 50 plus signs along the less than 1 mile long Carmel Beach!
