On May 24, 2010, the Planning and Zoning Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustment held a joint workshop to kick-off the first round of discussions regarding a revised Sign Ordinance, which regulates new and existing signs throughout the City. The Commission and Board members along with the business leaders and citizens that were present heard a two-part presentation from staff relating to the purpose and goals of the Sign Ordinance and alternatives to advertise other than signage, different types of signage throughout the City and the format of the new ordinance. Feedback was primarily positive with a bulk of the conversation relating to Light Emitting Devices (LED signs), enforcement capabilities and the quality of signs being constructed. Staff will analyze the feedback and begin preparing a full draft of the ordinance. Notice of the next meeting has yet to be determined.
