Chairperson Levine closed the public hearing closed at 9:30 p.m. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Brauer appreciated Staff's concern in addressing the changing technology and <br />how this would affect signage. <br />Commissioner Van Scoy requested further information on construction signs. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill explained that construction signs were those signs <br />posted at a construction site for safety purposes, along with announcing what would be locating <br />at the site. He indicated these signs were tied to a building permit and would be removed after <br />construction was complete. <br />Associate Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson commented that construction signs were <br />temporary in nature. <br />Motion by Commissioner Brauer, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt the ordinance amending City Code Chapter 117, Article II, Division 8 (Signs). <br />Further discussion <br />Commissioner Field asked if the Commission should consider real estate signs further prior to <br />approving this motion. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill stated as the ordinance was drafted the City would not <br />be restricting real estate signs. The code would remain flexible on this issue. He stated real <br />estate signs were seen as temporary as well. <br />Commissioner Field questioned if the City has had concerns with real estate signs in the past. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill did not recall any issues with real estate signs. <br />Commissioner Field recommended a size limitation be placed on real estate signs, as there were <br />limits on other types of signs in the City. <br />Development Services Manager Gladhill commented the Commission would need to address <br />both ground signs and wall signs, if this were to proceed. He recommended real estate signs not <br />exceed 32 square feet for residential and 64 square feet for commercial or 15% of a wall surface. <br />Commissioner Brauer suggested the Commission consider this further to assure that real estate <br />signs did not become a concern in the future. <br />Planning Commission /October 4, 2012 <br />Page 13 of 16 <br />
