<br />~-. <br />c <br /> <br />The potential negative consequences of revising the sign ordinance as outlined above would be: <br />less control over location and duration of signage, especially on Highway 10 and loss of revenue <br />from sign permit fees (equates to $2,500 to $3,000 per year for temporary signage). Under the <br />proposed changes, any business, individual, or group can put up a sign on Highway 10 <br />advertising anything (with permission from property owner, and according to the above <br />regulations). This could have a large negative effect on the aesthetics on the highway. Also, <br />without a permit and associated fee, there will less of an incentive to obey the six-week per year <br />duration limitation. However, Staff believes this approach gives the most flexibility to residents <br />in displaying garage sale, real estate, and other types of signage. Since the Planning Commission <br />expressly stated that there should be non-differentiation between commercial and non- <br />commercial signs (on an interim basis), it is important to treat sign sin the business and <br />residential districts the same. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends preparing a draft ordinance to revise Section 9.12.05 (temporary signs) of the <br />sign ordinance based on the above items. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Discuss the proposed changes and direct staff to bring forward a proposed ordinance to the <br />January Planning Commission meeting and discuss a recommendation to City Council on the the <br />need and timing for a sign workgroup. <br /> <br />PC: 12.6.07 <br /> <br />28 <br />
