Development Code Text Change No. 668.19 (Kuldeep)

The Kings County Development Code is being amended through Text Change No. 668.19 to permit outdoor or off-site advertising structures in the Neighborhood Commercial (CN) zone district adjacent to state highways, contingent upon approval of a Site Plan Review zoning permit. The amendment revises Article 6, Section 603, Table 6-1 to allow such structures and modifies Article 11, Section 1104 to increase the maximum allowable aggregate area for these signs from 240 to 450 square feet. Lighting for the signs must be configured to direct illumination away from adjacent properties, passing vehicles, and pedestrians to minimize glare and disturbance. The change is being processed as an administrative action exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Section 15061(b)(3), as it is deemed to have no significant environmental impact. The project is located at 13972 Ada St., Armona, CA 93202, and is under the jurisdiction of the Kings County Community Development Agency. No contract value, pricing details, or line-item specifications are included, as this is a regulatory update rather than a procurement action. The proposal is initiated by Kuldeep Sidhu, owner of the site, with Yesenia Kharufeh, a County Planner, serving as the primary contact. There are no federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement mechanisms involved, and no formal submission deadlines, evaluation criteria, or payment terms have been established. The amendment is intended to align local signage regulations with practical commercial needs while maintaining community and safety standards regarding visual and light pollution.
