Speed of Change in Message: <br />Based on discussion with electronic sign users, the sign ordinance proposes a maximum sign <br />change speed of 3 seconds. This speed appears to be reasonable to allow business owners enough <br />use of the dynamic display message, yet would prohibit flashing or scrolling. <br />Other Proposed Regulations: <br />As part of the ordinance revisions, if a business installs a functioning dynamic display, the use of <br />temporary signs would no longer be permitted. Multi-tenant centers would be permitted to install <br />one temporary sign instead of three (if dynamic display is installed and functional). <br />Funding Source: <br />Ordinance amendments are processed with City Staff time. There are no anticipated financial <br />impacts of the proposed ordinance. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Planning Commission met on July 3, 2008, and discussed the proposed sign ordinance, <br />recommended approval of the proposed ordinance. The Planning Commission directed staff to <br />use the City of Minnetonka's sign ordinance as a basis for revisions, and to research Ramsey <br />businesses' use of timing on existing electronic signs. <br />Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance. <br />Council Action: <br />Motion to recommend that the City Council. adopt the proposed ordinance to amend sign <br />regulations to establish dynamic display standards. <br />Review Checklist: <br />Asst.
