Re: At 87-9
Apr il 19, 1988
The proposed amendment would place definite time frames
that a business would be allowed to use such signs on an
annual basis with separation of time between permits.
As evident in the proposal (Exhibit "B") such temporary
signage will be granted a maximum of twice per year for
a maximum time of 45 days each time with a minimum of 60
days between each permit.
In addition, the size of such signs are restricted
maximum area of ten percent of the wall area. Not
than ~ banners shall be on display during
permitted time period and the maximum size for any
banner shall be no greater than 50 square feet.
With the ordinance amendment a benefit will be made in
that a less cluttered appearance will be present in
parking lots and landscaped areas throughout the City,
thereby improving the image of the City.
