• <br />Please remember that we are not limiting the discussion to banners only. We are <br />considering all types of temporary signage. It is possible that certain <br />requirements would apply to banners specifically. <br />• The current ordinance does not address window signage. <br />If the P & Z desires to address window signs, that is possible. <br />• If real estate agents can put up a sign without a permit, why not others? <br />Such signs are in place for a matter of hours or days, are very small, and only <br />rarely are there enough of them in one location as to constitute an eyesore. <br />• Tobacco companies require certain signage by contract. <br />We will need to learn more about such contractual requirements to see just what <br />they require. Staff has initiated some research into this question. <br />Issues to Discuss <br />Scope: Just what types of temporary signage do we want to regulate? <br />Definitions: temporary signs, banners and other types <br />Allowable location(s) for temporary signage <br />Allowable size: total area <br />and, if temporary signs should be included in the maximum amount of <br />signage allowed <br />Allowable time limit, if any, for temporary signs <br />Enforcement: It is unlikely that 100% enforcement will occur, but that should not <br />stop the City from having the tools to prevent and resolve unsightly <br />situations when possible. <br />Ultimately, the goal is to prepare amendments to the existing sign ordinance . We are not <br />considering a total revamp of the sign ordinance: a fare more extensive project. For <br />now, we are looking at issues relevant to temporary signage. Staff has no specific <br />ordinance recommendations at this time. Drafting ordinance changes will progress as the <br />discussion continues. <br />
