SUBJECT:
title
PUBLIC HEARING: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE - REPEALING AND REPLACING SECTION 12-4-6 AND AMENDING SECTION 12-14-1- PERTAINING TO TEMPORARY SIGNS
end
RECOMMENDATION:
recommendation
That City Council conduct a public hearing on May 28, 2020, to consider a proposed amendment repealing and replacing Section 12-4-6 and amending 12-14-1 of the Land Development Code pertaining to the regulation of temporary signs.
end
HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The Mayor has asked relevant departments to review sign regulations to update for compliance with federal law and to streamline enforcement within the City limits. The proposed amendment removes language that cannot be enforced because of precedent by the United States Supreme Court and provides clarity on the placement of temporary signs.
In June and July 2018, the Planning Board reviewed the proposal and hosted a workshop for the public. No recommendation was made.
