<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 May 8, 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 regulated signs on the <br />basis of their content. The end result of the changes is that the sign code has been clarified <br />to regulate the sign itself rather than the messages (the “content”) that appear on said signs. <br />The other adopted changes allow for greater flexibility in relocating billboards within the <br />community. The Code was amended to permit billboards in the B2, B3, I1, PUD and CRP <br />zoning districts along Interstate 35W, US Highway 10 and Old Highway 8. <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 />
