REPORT TO COUNCIL JAN 19 7994

B.R. Kirk Date: January 5, 1994

Portable Sign located at 3260 Coast Meridian Road
Planning and Development Committee — January 4, 1994

RECOMMENDATION:
That the owners of The Bread Express be advised to comply with the
regulations of the Port Coquitlam Sign Bylaw.

BACKGROUND:

The attached letter from the general manager at the Bread Express, located
at 3260 Coast Meridian Road, has been referred to the Planning Committee for
review and comment. The letter refers to a portable sign that the owners of
the Bread Express would like to continue using for business advertising.

DISCUSSION:

Portable signs are prohibited in the City of Port Coquitlam under Section
3.1 of the "Sign Bylaw, 1992, #2638". The City enforces the regulations of
this Bylaw whenever complaints about contravening signs are received.

There appears to be a dispute between the present and former owners of the
Bread Express over the lease of an existing free-standing sign on the
property. This free-standing sign was previously approved by the City through
a Development Variance Permit.

As there are already a free-standing sign on the property and a fascia
sign on the building that have been approved by the City for use, it is
recommended that the present owners of the bakery be advised that the City
will not support the continued use of a portable sign and that all signage on
the property should conform to the City's Sign Bylaw.
