PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MARCH 16 , 1993 <br /> 3 PAGE 5 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Commissioner Franzese also referred to comments made by <br /> 7 Councilmember Fleming at the February 9th Council Meeting <br /> 8 regarding a review of the sign ordinance by local business <br /> 9 persons . Councilmember Fleming reported that the two business <br /> 10 persons she contacted found the sign ordinance a legal maze <br /> 11 and difficult to follow. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 The Commissioner felt these comments were unfortunate as it <br /> 14 was thought that the City had a very comprehensive ordinance. <br /> 15 She requested that these two business persons be identified . <br /> 16 She also felt that the DARE sign should have remained in <br /> 17 place . Urbia advised that the letter of non-compliance was <br /> 18 sent to the school as the sign had been up more than thirty <br /> 19 days not because it was not approved . He felt that staff <br /> 20 flexibility allowed for it not being removed . <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Chair Faust restated his request for staff to gather <br /> 23 information and definitions relative to directional and <br /> 24 informational signs . He felt the term " informational " was <br /> 25 generic and not specific . <br /> 26 <br /> it Commissioner Murphy noted that many signs which are viewed as <br /> non-compliant are temporary. He inquired as to what is <br /> 29 contained in the ordinance regarding temporary signs . <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Chair Faust read that section in the ordinance which addressed <br /> 32 temporary, commercial signs . He noted that service station <br /> 33 pump signs are not mentioned . Commissioner Madden felt the <br /> 34 pump signs looked rather permanent to him. He also requested <br /> 35 the definition of directional signs in the ordinance . <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Urbia advised that directional signs are defined but are not <br /> 38 enabled or referenced in the ordinance . <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Commissioner Madden stated he feels directional signs are not <br /> 41 a problem. He is of the opinion that the informational signs <br /> 42 introduced by staff are the problem. <br /> 43 <br /> 44 Urbia advised that the City Manager is of the opinion that St . <br /> 45 Anthony has a tough sign ordinance . Staff is leaning toward <br /> 46 allowing signs which are informational and contain <br /> 47 advertising. This is being handled by the . City ' s Zoning <br /> 48 Administrator . <br /> 49 <br /> 50 <br /> • <br /> 5 <br />
