HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Recently an issue has arisen wherein there appears to be ordinance conflict pertaining to City Parks.
This particular situation involved the proposed placement of a digital (illuminated) sign on Langley Ave within Hitzman Park. Upon review, it appeared that there were at least three (3) ordinances which together or separately may have prevented the permitting for such sign.
The interpretation provided by Planning Services and Inspections, which apparently has been followed for some time, is that the Parks and Recreation Director has control and authority over City Parks (Section 6-3-1), therefore overriding other preventative ordinances.
In order to clear up any ambiguity, the proposed changes to these two sections provides that actions taken by the Parks Director must be consistent with Federal Law, State Statutes and City Code.
