MEMORANDUM TO: St. Anthony Planning Commission Mark Casey, City Manager FROM: Stephen Grittman, City Planner DATE: February 12, 2020 RE: St. Anthony Village – PC Work Session – February 18, 2020 Temporary Sign Regulations NAC FILE: 323.01 This memorandum is intended to serve as the basis for reviewing and discussing the City’s sign regulations, particularly those related to temporary and real estate sign displays. The City received a complaint over temporary sign displays at the Urban Grove property. Under current sign regulations, the City has no provision for Temporary signs, although several properties around the community have various displays (some of which are commercial in nature, and some of which are specifically related to real estate s ales or leasing). The Planning Commission will discuss the material at a work session format during the regular meeting on February 18th. The meeting begins at 7:00pm. Just to be clear, this discussion will not focus on political campaign signs or non- commercial speech displays. Those aspects of sign communication are addressed separately, with specific provisions for campaign signs emanating from State Statute. Instead, the intent of this discussion is to determine if the City should consider adopting specific regulations relating to temporary signage, and if so, what types of regulations would be in keeping with the community’s overall character and expectations. It is noted that the City’s general approach to signage displays has been to be more limiting in scope that other communities.
