Discuss Possible Changes to the City’s Sign Code, Chapter 1008 of the Municipal <br />Code <br /> <br />Planner Ericson presented a copy of the sign ordinance from the City of Burnsville for <br />comparison to Mounds View’s Sign Ordinance. He indicated Staff will continue to clean up the <br />format of the City’s Code and present the sign code one piece at a time to the Commission as this <br />is a large project encompassing many different aspects of signage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kaden indicated it would be helpful to have either pictures or drawings of the <br />specific types of signs referenced in the Sign Code so the Commission would know what the <br />signs looked like for discussion purposes. <br /> <br />Planner Ericson indicated Staff would be taking pictures of signage within the City to present to <br />the Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland inquired as to what the criteria would be for each type of business to <br />determine signage allowed. <br /> <br />Planner Ericson indicated signage would be allowed based on the zoning district the businesses <br />were in. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stevenson indicated the Burnsville Sign Ordinance seemed clear and concise and <br />noted it was a good model to start with. <br /> <br />Planner Ericson indicated Staff would attempt to redraft the City’s Sign Code to model after the <br />Burnsville Code to make it easier to read before any changes were made. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson inquired as to whether any of the work of previous Commissions on the <br />sign ordinance would be able to be used. <br /> <br />Planner Ericson indicated he had pulled the old file on the sign ordinance and will use whatever <br />information that is not outdated.
