(File AB-07-221).

Staff Summary: Pursuant to NRS 278.480 and CCMC Title 17, this application requests abandonment of a 66 foot portion of North Minnesota Street public right-of-way, north of John Street and south of Fleischmann Way, of approximately 10,968 square feet in size. Approval would result in 5,484 square feet of right-of-way being abandoned to each adjacent property owner.

(File ZCA-07-208)

Staff Summary: Presently, all signs that exceed the permitted sign height or sign area may be approved with a Special Use Permit and there are no specific standards for signs intended to be viewed from the freeway. The purpose of the ordinance is to establish specific requirements for "freeway-oriented" signs.

C) Action to adopt a resolution approving an extension of an existing 120-day moratorium, Resolution 2008-R-2, on the acceptance and processing of applications for any freestanding sign that exceeds the maximum permitted sign height or sign area, and that is designed to be visible from at least one direction of the Carson City Freeway, including future freeway phases, for an additional period of 60 days, thereby extending the moratorium to July 15, 2008. (File MISC-07-187)

Staff Summary: The purpose of the moratorium extension is to allow time for the Planning Commission and staff to amend Title 18 and the Development Standards of the Carson City Municipal Code by developing comprehensive criteria for the review of freeway-oriented signs. This moratorium could affect applications for such signs on commercial and industrial properties along the freeway. The moratorium is currently in place until May 16, 2008. The extension would allow additional time to develop the standards.

D) Action regarding an appeal of the Planning Commissions decision to reduce the requested sign height from 65.5 feet to 45 feet for a freestanding shopping center sign adjacent to the freeway on property Zoned Limited Industrial (LI), located on Market Street on the south side of College Parkway, APN 002-755-161. (MISC-07-188) 

Staff Summary: Decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the Board of Supervisors. The Planning Commission approved the Special Use Permit application but required a reduction in the height of the sign as part of the approval. The applicant is now requesting a 65 foot sign to be relocated approximately 600 feet to the north, away from existing residences adjacent to the site.

13. District Attorney

Action to introduce on first reading, an ordinance amending Carson City Municipal Code Title 2 Administration and Personnel, adding Chapter 2.03 National Background Checks, Section 2.03.010 National Fingerprint Background Check for Job Applicants to require certain applicants for employment with the City of Carson City to Submit to a National Fingerprint Background Check with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other matters properly related thereto.

Staff Summary: The Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") has informed Carson City that, after August 29, 2008, the FBI will no longer accept fingerprint cards submitted for national, criminal background checks unless there is an underlying local ordinance authorizing the practice. Nevada Revised Statute ("NRS") 239B.010 authorizes political subdivisions of the state to request of and receive from the FBI information on the background and personal history of persons seeking public employment. However, the FBI requires a more specific authorization that allows the fingerprint background check practice at the ordinance level. In particular, the FBI requires that such an ordinance express: (1) the specific employment occupations for which applicants must be fingerprinted; (2) specific authorization for the submission of the fingerprints for a national, criminal background check; and (3) a reference to the authorizing state statute, NRS 239B.010. The proposed ordinance fulfills the requirements set forth by the FBI, so that Carson City may continue to submit fingerprint cards to the FBI for a national, criminal background check of certain job applicants.

14. Clerk/Recorder
