Staff <br />presented the resultant draft of the revised Sign Ordinance to the Planning Commission meeting on Feb. 19, <br />2008, whereby the Commissioners suggested changes which have been incorporated into the attached draft copy <br />of the proposed Sign Ordinance. Additional changes were suggested at the First Reading before the City <br />Council on March 25, 2008. Staff made these modifications to the wording at Section 14000.08, Subd. 7. to <br />include language that allows for an unlimited number and size of non-commercial speech signs to be posted <br />during even year elections. Staff also discovered that a similar subdivision regarding non-commercial speech is at <br />.Section 1400.06, Subd. 8. This subdivision is proposed to be removed in favor of Section 1400.08, Subd. 7., and <br />it has been struck through. All substantial changes are in red. <br />Attachments: <br />• 2nd Draft of proposed Sign Ordinance <br />• Letter from City Attorney, dated March 27, 2008. <br />Draft Sign Ordinance 2008 2nd reading.doc <br />
