• STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: January 27, 1993 <br /> TO: Mayor and City Council <br /> FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant <br /> ITEM: SIGN ORDINANCE -- IDENTIFICATION SIGN ISSUE <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council to amend <br /> the following sections in the sign ordinance: 1400.12, Subd.1. (1); 1400.12, Subd. 2. (1); and <br /> 1400.12, Subd. 3. (1). These sections allow for one identification per right-of-way frontage <br /> in residential, commerical, and light industrial zoning districts. The Planning Commission <br /> recommended that this remain the case, but each allowed sign must face the frontage. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> • Staff recommends to not approve the recommended amendment from the Planning <br /> Commission. For most cases,staff will require what the Planning Commission recommended <br /> without the need for new ordinance language. However, there are some instances were <br /> flexibility is needed by staff to assist the business community with signage. For example, a <br /> building facing a highway and a frontage road technically needs one sign. However, one <br /> identification sign intended for a highway and one intended for a frontage road are two <br /> different scales and vantage points. In these cases, staff would need some flexibility in the <br /> ordinance. <br /> • <br />
