recommendation
That City Council refer to the Planning Board for review and recommendation amendments to the Land Development Code Section 12-2-21 (Palafox Historic Business District)
end
body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Currently, Land Development Code Section 12-2-21 (Palafox Historic Business District) does not specifically address the issue of internal illumination.
Recently, on two separate occasions, the Architectural Review Board (ARB) has interpreted the Code to authorize the denial of internally illuminated signs within the Palafox Historic Business District. On appeal, the City Council has reversed the ARB on this issue, speaking to the lack of direction or specific prohibition within the Code.
This is a request for review and recommendation from the Planning Board, with proposed amendment language included, in order to address these issues.
