Subject: Signage Commission Agenda Discussion item.
Commissioner Gort is requesting as a discussion item the change of the prohibition of certain signs to only permissible
after a warrant process. We have received numerous requests from businesses asking for certain flexibility and more
uniformity in enforcement. Thank you
1. No Illuminated Sign shall be permitted within one hundred (100) feet from any portion of a T1, T3, T4-R,
T5-R or T6-R property, as measured along the street Frontage on the same side of the street, or as
measured in a straight line to a property across the street, unless Signs are specifically authorized by
Warrant as per Table 15.
d. Structural members of all Signs, including supports, electrical conduit and receptacle boxes, or any
other operational devices shall be covered, painted, or designed in such a manner as to be
visually unnoticeable.
e. Devices used to attract attention such as blinking or flashing lights, streamer lights, pennants,
banners, balloons, streamers, and all fluttering and spinning devices shall be prohibited.
f. Portable Signs shall be prohibited, including those that are tied down with metal straps, chaining,
or otherwise temporarily anchored to an existing Structure or other similar method of anchoring.
g. Roof Signs shall be prohibited in all Transects. No Sign shall extend above the roof line or parapet
wall.
