3. Banner 'flags' Interchangeable Letters Mobile interchangable letter signs can take on a variety of designs. Currently, this type is most commonly associated with signs containing a solid black background with neon colored letters. The letters can be re -used and re -arranged for multiple uses. These signs are often affixed to trailers for easy transport. Banners Banners are typically printed with vinyl affixed lettering creating for a specific event. These signs are typically affixed to building walls, but often times to fences as well. These banners serve well for advertising purposes and have a better aesthetic appeal when professionally printed. Sign Plan for The COR As part of the discussion above, Staff has been working on potential amendments to the Sign Plan for The COR. The current approach includes the following: 1. Creation of larger Community Signs along Highway 10 with the primary purpose of identifying The COR and some individual tenant panels for major tenants. 2. Creation of Gateway Signs at intersections with County Roads identifying The COR as well as individual tenants. These signs are not as large as the Community Signs, but do allow for a broader use of tenant panels. Funding Source: Preparation of this discussion topic are being handled as part of normal Staff duties. Discussion at this stage does not infer future costs to the City for construction of signs, rather an appropriate policy for permanent and temporary sign regulations within the community. Recommendation: No action is being requested.
