John Szerlag, City Manager <br />Hans Ottinot, City Allorney <br />Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />The Honorable Mayor and City Commission <br /> <br />A. John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> <br />Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager <br />Robert C. Solera, Community Development Director <br /> <br />March 15, 2007 <br /> <br />Amending Sign Code. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance relating to <br />signs. <br /> <br />REASONS <br /> <br />The City Commission on February 16, 2006 adopted revisions to the Sign Code. After <br />conducting previous workshops with members of the business community and based on <br />the comments expressed, the City Commission directed staff to revise some sections of <br />the code. The Department adopted the recommendation from the Business Community at <br />large as well as from the City Commission. The attached Ordinance outlines <br />requirements for the allowance of 20% of the total of all windows for permanent signs; of <br />the 20% a total of 5% may be used for an electronic informational display. It also <br />provides for requirements on freestanding signs and accounts for temporary window <br />signs. The Department feels that passing of this Ordinance will promote positive <br />conditions for sign communication to enable business identification while eliminating <br />visual clutter in the City. <br />
