Workshop
Review of Sign Regulations Ordinance
Mr. Bill Petty reviewed three areas of concern and proposed the following revisions to the
Sign Ordinance:

City Council for confirmation. He recommended that this section be changed to read
that the Board would have approval authority and a negative decision could be
appealed to the Council.

2. Class 4 signs are currently prohibited in industrial districts, and staff is proposing that
this changed to indicated that Class 4 signs are allowed in industrial districts.
3. Regarding banners, Mr. Petty discussed enforcement efforts and staffing problems
associated with enforcement. He recommended that no permit be required for
banners 12 sq. ft. and under, and that they considered Class 1 signs, be required to be
maintained in good condition, and if deteriorated they must be removed. He further
recommended that banners over 12 sq. ft. be maintained as Class 4 signs, that
pennants be allowed for real estate open house and for grand openings for a specified
period of time (1-2 days) as Class 1 signs.
The Board discussed the above items and reached the following consensus:
1. Class 4 signs should be allowed in industrial districts.
2. Text regarding variances should be changed to indicated staff proposal.
3. Banners 12 sq. ft. and under should be considered Class 1 signs with no permit
required, be maintained in good condition, no more than 2 at any one time, not to
exceed a 7 -day use period.
4. Pennants should be allowed as Class 1 with no permit, with a 72 -hour limit.
5. Banners over 12 sq. ft. would remain as Class 4 signs with current regulations.
Mr. Joseph Del Ferro presented staff's recommendation regarding permit fees and the
consensus of the Board was to accept the recommendation, as well as to set a Class 4 banner
fee at $40, to include $40 for balloons.
The consensus of the Board was to suggest to the City Council that the 6 -year term limitation
be removed.
Chairman Claytor stated that he would prepare a cover letter to accompany the proposed
ordinance as it goes forward to the Council. Each of the Board members stated they would
