A report to <br />tk�e Planning Commission dated November 15, 2000 was referenced. For �his meeting, the <br />Planning Comtnission wiil review the first comprehensive redraft of the ordinance, building on the <br />discussions from the last meeting. According to the review schedule, the Planning Comrnission is <br />to discuss wall signage requirements at this meeting. <br />.Da�cussiono <br />In general, it appears as though many changes ha.ve been made to the ordizzance. �li�ile that is <br />true, ihe changes are not as numerous as one would imagine as many seciions of the Code were <br />- simply reorganized and replaced into different sections. For the benefit of the Corrunission, the <br />foliawing represents a summary of most of the changes: <br />Page 1. A"Purpose" section was added. This was shown on the 11/15/00 draft revision. The section is <br />numbered 1008.00, hut wiIl probably have to be renurr�bered as I 008.01, thus requuing each <br />subse uent section to be renumbered. <br />Page 2. Canopy Sign defuiition. Te� added which states canopy signs shall be considered the same as a wa11 <br />(1008.01) si for oses of area com utations. <br />Page 2. Direction Sign defuution. A line was added thai stafes that such signs may be located witltin a straet <br />(1008.01) ri ht of wa . <br />Page 7. Subd. 2, regarding "Exceptions" to building permits. Sale, rental or lease signs do not require a <br />(100�.02) permit. Any szgn less than 8 square feet does not need a pernut. Signs for churches, public or <br />charitable institutions now would require a pernvt. (Before, if under ten square feet, no permit was <br />required. Net effeci of change is that 9 or i 0 square foot signs require a pernut whereas before they <br />did not.) Home occu ation si s and incidental si s do not re uire a ermit. <br />Page 9. Subd. 2 has been deFeted. This section gave the Cauncil authority to zssue a pemut for a sign that did <br />(1008.05) nat comply with these subdivisions. Is that not what the variance provision was for? Rather than <br />maintain the inconsistene , this was subdivision was eliminated, <br />Page 10. Subd. 1 f has been deieted, Subds. lh, 1 i and 1 j have been added from another part of the Code. <br />(I008,08) <br />Page 11. As was adriressed in the Nov. 15 revision, old Subd. 1 i is deleted with its subparts reorganized and <br />(1008.08 re laced into new Section 1008.09, Subd. 1. <br />Page 12. Subd. 2 is now reorganized into an easy to read Tabte. The requirements by dist�•ict that follaw the <br />(1008.08) tabl� are all deleted. Subd. 3 is a new table relatin to si hei hts. <br />Page 14. Old Subd. 3 is now in new section 1008.10, Miscelianeous Sigr►age Requirements and Provisions. <br />I008.08 Old Subd. 4 relating to clearance of signs from conductors is relocated fo 1008.08, Subd, lh under <br />eneral si re uirements, <br />
