Voting Yes: Chairperson Gengler, Commissioners Heineman,Van Scoy, Bauer, <br /> Hunt, and Peters. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Anderson. <br /> 6.04: Public Hearing: Consider Ordinance#23-19 Amending Temporary Sign Regulations <br /> Public Hearin <br /> Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:40 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff and the EDA recommend <br /> adoption of Ordinance#23-19 pertaining to temporary signs. <br /> Commissioner Bauer asked if a business could have a temporary sign for 20 weeks in the first year <br /> and 20 weeks in the second year. He stated that some businesses were lost during the Armstrong <br /> interchange construction because of the reduced visibility and difficulty reaching those businesses. <br /> He asked why the temporary signage would be limited to 20 weeks. <br /> Planning Manager Larson replied that this is a temporary sign. He stated that if a business wanted <br /> to invest in permanent signage changes, they could do so, noting that taller signs are now allowed <br /> in the corridor. He stated that the EDA was looking to provide a low-cost option for a business, <br /> without allowing something that would be tacky or a distraction. <br /> Commissioner Bauer commented that he did not believe a business would want to install a <br /> permanent sign that would only be needed for one to two years. He stated that the ordinance does <br /> allow for signs to be located on other property if the permission of the property owner is obtained. <br /> He noted that people will most likely use that option to assist in directing traffic to their business. <br /> He stated that he would favor this without the 20-week annual limit. <br /> Planning Manager Larson stated that issue was discussed. He noted that in the winter months the <br /> construction would ease up and therefore the 20-week period would cover most of the construction <br /> season. <br /> Commissioner Bauer commented that 20 weeks would cover a portion of that time, but not the <br /> entire construction season. <br /> Planning Commission/November 30, 2023 <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br />
