Hanson <br />Attached is the revised sign ordinance staff drafted based on the recommendations of the <br />Planning Commission. Strikethrough items are being deleted, underlined is being added, and <br />italic bold are the changes recommended by the Planning Commission. Highlights of all of the <br />changes are as follows: <br />➢ Permitted Signs. <br />o Construction Signs — Change in size from 50 square feet to 64 square feet to <br />reflect actual practice. <br />o Real Estate Signs or Rental Signs — Change in the number of days a real estate or <br />rental sign can be displayed once the property has been sold or leased. We also <br />made a change in allowable sign square footage for nonresidential districts to <br />again reflect what we tend to see as the norm. <br />o Advertising and Promotional Banners — Deleted section. Moved banners to <br />temporary signage that would require a permit. <br />o Garage Sale and Estate Sale Signs — Added this section to allow for off premise <br />garage sale and estate sale signage with conditions to coincide with actual <br />practice. <br />➢ General Provisions — Temporary Signs <br />o Returned banners to the temporary sign section. Businesses will then be required <br />to pull a permit for displaying a banner and the banner will also count towards <br />their total number of allowable temporary signage days during a calendar year. <br />o More specific details on how and where the banner may be mounted as well as <br />maintenance for the duration of the permit. Staff did delete the section for <br />mounting a banner to a double posted pylon. However, we want to draw your <br />attention to Market Place Center. There have been no permit requests in 2004 or <br />H:VessicaJ \Code Enforcement \Correspondence \Code Enf 2005'\MayCou .'2"- a Memo.doc <br />
