• • AGENDA ITEM VI. A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser P & Z MEETING DATE: May 12, 2004 TOPIC: Discussion: Special Meeting on Temporary Signage BACKGROUND Because of lengthy agendas for the past several months, the P & Z has not had the opportunity to discuss the temporary signage issue to any great extent. Discussions of the issue began at the June 2003 meeting, and was tabled repeatedly. The last time we discussed this at all, the P & Z decided to have a special meeting devoted solely to the topic. Last month, staff suggested June 16, 2004 and asked the board members to check their calendars. We would like P & Z to confirm this date so staff can send out notices to business owners. Recall that we sent a letter in October. A copy is attached. We will use the same letter with new dates. We will add some businesses to the list, since a few opened since the last letter. We are not attempting to mail a letter to every single business in the city. As noted in the fourth paragraph of the letter, we tried to select representative businesses, and invited them to inform any other business owner who might be interested. The ultimate goal is to prepare amendments to the sign ordinance that will address temporary signage. We remind the P & Z members that signage is a difficult issue to capture and the effort likely will take some time. RECOMMENDATION Confirm meeting date.
