• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM V A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: February 13, 2008 <br />TOPIC: Public Hearing: Sign Ordinance Amendments <br />BACKGROUND <br />The City amended its sign ordinance in 2005 to address temporary signs and signage on <br />buildings. In cooperation with the City Attorney, staff has prepared a draft to amend the <br />ordinance to address "dynamic display" signs and other issues. Dynamic display signs <br />are signs with moving or changing images. These are being seen more and more around <br />the Metro Area on billboards on freeways. <br />As long as the sign ordinance was being amended in some major ways to address <br />dynamic signs, we thought we might as well clarify other issues as well. This is the first <br />major overhaul of the sign ordinance in many years: probably since 1997. <br />The City adopted a moratorium on dynamic display signs in April 2007. The one -year <br />moratorium expires on April 18, 2008. Staffs goal is to discuss the proposed <br />amendments and get direction from the Board for any changes. We hope to bring the <br />ordinance amendments to the City Council in March. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Recommend approval of the sign ordinance amendments, with revisions if desired. <br />2. Return to staff with direction for major changes. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Option 1 <br />
