Council adopts Valencia PUD changes, including perimeter setback and temporary‑sign limits tied to city sign program
Summary
Council approved second and final reading of amendments to the Valencia PUD that carve out perimeter setbacks, require a 'good neighbor' fence standard and permit a limited number of temporary community signs until the city implements a centralized directional sign program. The applicant agreed to the specific redlines; council asked staff to advance a citywide sign option.
Manvel’s City Council approved the second and final reading of ordinance 2026‑O‑07, adopting revisions to the Valencia PUD. The changes incorporate: (1) a 15‑foot rear setback for all perimeter lots, (2) a requirement that good‑neighbor fences include a rod board standard and comply with city design criteria, and (3) allowance for a limited number of additional temporary community signs that will cease once a centralized city directional signage program is available.
Joe (city planning staff) summarized edits received from the applicant and confirmed staff reviewed and compared the redlines line‑by‑line. Council discussed the long‑term benefit of a consolidated directional sign program for the city and the mechanics of model‑home and builder signage; staff said the city has been negotiating with a vendor that would install and maintain branded directional signs and could present the program at the council’s first April meeting.
Bailey Quadra, the Valencia project manager, said the applicant will not participate if the sign requirement is extended to other pods, but the council adopted the three conditions and approved the second reading.
