• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM VI. C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: June 8, 2005 <br />TOPIC: Temporary Signage <br />BACKGROUND <br />The P & Z has made some decisions and given direction for drafting ordinance changes <br />for several types of temporary signage, including banners, portable signs, window signs, <br />pennants, and other miscellaneous temporary signs. <br />Real estate signs are another aspect of the discussion on temporary signage. Last <br />month's packet included parts of ordinances from several cities showing how they <br />regulate signs for the sale and development of real estate. <br />This report offers suggestions for addressing real estate signs and then lists decisions <br />made by the P & Z on other sign types. <br />When we draft the ordinance amendments, we will include graphics wherever possible to <br />define and illustrate the ordinance provisions. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Lino Lakes currently allows real estate development and construction signs without a <br />permit, though there are size requirements. The existing ordinance reads as follows: <br />Section IV, par. P.: Real estate development signs or construction site signs <br />may be erected providing they do not exceed one hundred square feet of area, are <br />not more than fifteen feet above grade, and not within one hundred feet of an <br />existing residential structure. <br />Section IV, par. R.: Temporary real estate signs advertising the sale of <br />individual residences shall not require a permit if they are under six square feet. <br />Section IV, par. S: Temporary signs advertising building or land for rent or for <br />sale in all districts may be placed on such property providing such signs are not <br />closer than ten feet to any property line and do not exceed forty square feet in <br />industrial areas and fifteen square feet in other areas. <br />
