<br /> <br /> <br />ORDINANCE SUMMARY <br /> <br /> <br />ORDINANCE NO. 769 <br /> <br />CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW <br />COUNTY OF RAMSEY <br />STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF MOUNDS VIEW <br />BY AMENDING CHAPTER 1008 RELATING TO SIGNS <br /> <br /> <br />On March 27, 2006, the Mounds View City Council adopted an ordinance which amends <br />Chapter 1008 of the City Code relating to Billboards and Signs. Many of the changes to the <br />City’s sign code were adopted to make the regulations more consistent with First <br />Amendment rights and free speech issues in light of recent court cases and local legal <br />challenges. These changes generally eliminated language which differentiates between <br />commercial and non-commercial “content” or specific references to advertising. The end <br />result of the changes is that the sign code has been clarified to regulate the sign itself rather <br />than the messages (the “content”) that appear on said signs. The other adopted changes <br />allow for greater flexibility in relocating billboards within the community. The Code was <br />amended to permit billboards in the B2, B3, I1, PUD and CRP zoning districts along 35W, <br />Trunk Highway 10, Old Highway 8 and along County Road 10 southeast of the Woodale <br />Drive Intersection. <br /> <br />The full and complete text of this ordinance along with a supplemental map is on file at the <br />office of the Clerk Administrator and is posted in its entirety on the City’s website, located at <br />www.ci.mounds-view.mn.us/ords/769.pdf. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Kurt Ulrich, City Clerk-Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
