Hanson <br />After receiving the proposed sign ordinance amendments relative to Dynamic and <br />Electronic Signage from the City Planner last Friday, staff reviewed these amendments <br />and have the following comments: <br />Definitions: <br />Holiday Sign Definition should be changed to "Holiday Display "; <br />Define "Dynamic Sign"; <br />Define "Electronic Sign "; <br />A couple of references to Holiday "Signs" need to be corrected to "Displays ". <br />903.110.B.1.e. — "Unless approved by the City Council, holiday displays shall be <br />located on private property and within setback limitations defined by this <br />Ordinance ". Code Enforcement Officer feels that this needs more clarification. <br />903.110.C.4.e. — Concern about number (new tenants moving into shopping <br />centers) and length of time (3 signs — 30 days each) for the additional temporary <br />sign permits during the first six months of opening a new business. Should this be <br />expanded to include PUD District? <br />903.110.F. — Fees and Licenses — add references to Permits as appropriate. <br />Should all Sign Ordinance changes be made at the same time (include changes <br />discussed as part of Zoning Code review)? <br />Please note that the City's moratorium expires on September 27, 2007. Therefore, if the <br />Council agrees that all sign ordinance amendments should be done at the same time, <br />action can be tabled on this matter until the September 261h Council meeting. <br />
