He recommended <br /> that rather than revise this section of the ordinance to be all <br /> encompassing that the staff and commission revise the ordinance <br /> to address the specific problem the city is experiencing <br /> rooftop balloons. This will avoid trying to define everything <br /> that is or is not covered in the code. <br /> Upon this advice, and based upon the conversation at the April 28 <br /> planning commission meeting, staff recommends the following: <br /> 9- 13.03(11) Rooftop Displays and Aerial Searchlights <br /> Rooftop balloons and rooftop displays are not permitted <br /> except in a commercial zone for a maximum of five days for a <br /> business grand opening or a special civic event. A <br /> temporary sign permit is required for the balloon. Aerial <br /> search lights are not permitted. <br /> This section presently reads: <br /> 9-- 13.03 {11} Displays not constituting signs. Animal <br /> displays, pieces of sculpture, fountains, aerial <br /> searchlights or other displays or feature which direct <br /> attention to an object, product, place, activity, <br /> person, institution, organization or business yet not <br /> defined herein as such or commonly considered a sign, <br /> shall comply requirement of §9- 13.03. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> A Proposed ordinance revision, 9- 13.03 {11} <br /> B Previous Staff Report <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Adopt revised ordinance 9- 13.03 {11} <br />
