Mr. Goodrich stated t~at Breezy Outdoor, Inc. is requesting a conditional use permit to construct an advertising sign at 7009 Hwy. #10 N.W. The Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing on the request and tabled action until Breezy Outdoor provides information regarding the subject matter to be advertised on the sign. Breezy Outdoor has requested that their case be forwarded directly to City Council. Polly Shovein - Breezy Outdoor, Inc. - Stated that she appeared before Planning and Zoning with a request for a conditional use permit to construct an advertising sign that will meet all of the requirements of the City's sign ordinance with the exception of the sign copy. Advertising for a sign is not usually solicited until the permit is obtained from the City; will comply with City ordinance requirement to advertise the activity on the subject property or within 2500 feet of the subject property. Ms~ Shovein noted that she has also done some investigating and while cities have the authority to regulate advertising, it is questionable whether cities can regulate content. Mr. Goodrich explained that the intent of the ordinance was to control the number of advertising signs in the community, not the content of advertising. Mr. Goodrich advised Council that the only way to approve the request would be adopt an ordinance amendment deleting the requirement to provide informatioin regarding advertising copy at the time of application for a sign permit.

's request for a conditional use permit to construct an advertising sign until the March 8, 1988 Council meeting.
