The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br /> <br />Item No: 06A <br />Meeting Date: Mar 3, 2020 <br />Type of Business: Other <br />Planning Case: XXXX-XXX <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Discussion - Signs <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />At a previous Planning Commission meeting, the Commission asked to discuss sign <br />regulations. Sign regulations are complicated (understatement). Mounds View’s sign <br />regulations are outdated, in terms of regulating dynamic (digital) signs, and perhaps other types <br />of signs (e.g. drive-thru menu boards, and temporary signs). <br /> <br />Attached is a comparison of cities’ wall and ground sign regulations, specific to zoning districts <br />along streets that are similar to Mounds View Boulevard. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff requests that Commissioners drive Mounds View Boulevard, and be prepared to discuss <br />likes & dislikes. <br /> <br />Due to the COVID pandemic, City Staff chose not to enforce temporary sign regulations in <br />2020-2021, allowing businesses to add or keep temporary signs to attract customers. We also <br />did this in 2018, when 35W construction reduced traffic on Mounds View Boulevard. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />ATTACHED: <br />Sign comparison <br />
