CITY OF LOD1
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TIME: Set Public Hearing for October 18, 1995 to consider the Planning Commission's
recommendation that the City Council amend the portion of Title 17, "Zoning Ordinance,"
dealing with "Signs."
MEETING DATE: September 20, 1995
PREPARED BY: Senior Planner
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council set a Public Hearing to consider the Planning
Commission's recommendation that amendments be made to the portion of
Title 17, "Zoning Ordinance," dealing with "Signs."
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the past year, the Planning Commission has worked with staff and
members of the public to develop ways to improve the City's Sign
Ordinance. Their goal was to make the ordinance easier to use, to clarify
ambiguities and to address issues that have created problems in the past. A number of work sessions and public
hearings have been conducted over the past year to discuss ideas and resolve differences.
The Planning Commission made two basic decisions. First, they decided that the revisions to the Sign Ordinance
would only affect on -premise signs. Off -premise signs (billboards) would be dealt with separately at a later date.
Second, they decided that once the design standards for the Downtown Revitalization project are completed, the
Planning Commission would consider a special sign criteria for the Downtown.
Major changes proposed by the new Sign Ordinance include:
1. A definition section to make the ordinance more easier to understand;
2. Changes in the text for free-standing signs to clarify the language and to try to improve the scale and
appearance of free-standing signs;
3. Makes provisions for portable (A -frame type) signs;
4. Makes provisions for temporary signing and decorations at automobile dealerships; and
5. Establishes a process for the removal of abandoned signs.
The proposed ordinance will continue to permit every business or institution an adequate amount of signing while at
the same time, improving the overall appearance of the City.
