. Sign Code Issues <br /> General/Misc. <br /> 1. Write a provision which deals with removal of abandoned and/or illegal <br /> signs. Must address removal and storage conditions. <br /> 2. Personal expression signs - "Lower Taxes Now!" etc. Size, number <br /> allowed, etc. <br /> 3. Do we want to place in the code provision for amortization? <br /> 4. Statement that all signs must be installed according to the provisions of <br /> the Uniform Building Code. <br /> 5. Statement of how to go about deviating from the code (variance, code <br /> appeal, etc.), particularly when request goes through Planning <br /> Commission and when it goes straight to the Council. <br /> Permanent Signs <br /> 1. Allowable signable area needs to be increased in some residential areas, <br /> especially R-4 apartment buildings and R-1 churches. <br /> 2. Scrolling readerboards are not addressed in area of the sign code. <br /> Specify in which districts they are allowed, size, and allowable <br /> illumination. <br /> 3. Flags are not addressed in the current code. May want to address height <br /> and location of flag poles and flags used as an integral part of the <br /> building (i.e., flags on top of Taco Bell). <br /> 4. Are signs places inside of glass a part of permanent or temporary signage <br /> (or neither?) <br /> 5. Address the allowability of off-site directional signage ("Messiah Lutheran <br /> Church two blocks ahead"). <br /> 6. Address the allowability of billboards. <br /> 7. Strike the language that allows wall signs to be exempt from permit fees. <br /> 111) 8. Add language defining the required setbacks for signs. <br />
