RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance relating to signs. REASONS The City Commission on February 16, 2006 adopted revisions to the Sign Code. After conducting previous workshops with members of the business community and based on the comments expressed, the City Commission directed staff to revise some sections of the code. The Department adopted the recommendation from the Business Community at large as well as from the City Commission. The attached Ordinance outlines requirements for the allowance of 20% of the total of all windows for permanent signs; of the 20% a total of 5% may be used for an electronic informational display. It also provides for requirements on freestanding signs and accounts for temporary window signs. The Department feels that passing of this Ordinance will promote positive conditions for sign communication to enable business identification while eliminating visual clutter in the City.
