4. Discussion Item— Window Sign Regulations
Mr. David Hoover, Director, presented the item to the Board. He stated that signs cannot be regulated by
content.
Chair Jones stated that visibility and security issues might be a concern. She questioned if neon signs
could be regulated? Mr. Hoover stated that they could.
Board Member Brown stated his concern with the last minute notice on this item, and said he needed more
time for review. He requested the item be tabled.
Mr Hoover stated that the Board is being asked for their opinion, and he reminded the Board that this is a
discussion item, not for action, not a public hearing. This item will not be voted on.
Board member Moore stated he recommends not making any changes — leave as is.
Chair Jones stated that window signs have never been regulated. Businesses have done a good job not
over -signing. She is more in favor of eliminating neon signs — or possibly using a percentage of window
space to be used for signage.
Chair Jones, and Board Members Biggers and Brown also agreed that no changes should be made.
It was the consensus of the Board to make no changes at this time.
