to 14 days. Issuance of this permit shall be subject to written approval by the property <br />owner upon which the sign is to be located. <br />4. Another issue we have been faced with deals with signage for an outdoor sales event or a grand <br />opening. Our ordinance allowed two signs for a period not to exceed 14 days for grand openings. <br />It did not make any special allowance for outdoor sates events. The issue being especially with <br />multi-tenant properties these types of events would take away from the total number of permits <br />per year. The survey showed a 50/50 split. Some of the cities did allow these types of events as a <br />separate provision under the ordinance and some considered them as the total number of permits <br />per year. My recommendation would be to allow each new business one grand opening <br />permit not to exceed 3 signs combining banners, pennants, lighter than air balloons, as <br />allowed in 903.110.C.4.c., with 1 being a pm•table sign for a period not to exceed 10 days. <br />There would be no provision for temporary outdoor sales signage. <br />5. We have further clarified this ordinance to limit the number of temporary signs to one (1) (except <br />for grand openings). We also are reconnnending elimination of the provision for the usage of <br />spotlights iu conjunction with a temporary sign. Lastly, we reconnnend that banners be allowed <br />up to 40 square feet in size versus the 32 square foot limitation contained within the ordinance. <br />I have attached a copy of how the ordinance would read with the reconunendations Ihave made in <br />addition to the survey results. The Council should review these changes and modif}~ them as they deem <br />appropriate. Once you have decided upon the final wording, a hearing will be needed to amend the <br />Zoning Code to address the desired changes. <br />H:Vessica)V"Temp Sign Oielinance.doc <br />
