Re: Scandia Sign Ordinance
The Sign Ordinance in Scandia’s Development Code should be revisited for a number of reasons
including an exemption from the ordinance provisions that is allowed for certain signs and that
has become an issue in the Village Center.
3.13 Signs
(1) Applicability. The regulations contained herein do not apply to signs painted,
attached by adhesive or otherwise attached directly to or visible through
windows and glass portions of doors.
I am recommending that the Council direct the Planning Commission to look at the ordinance
again, reviewing this issue and the ordinance’s compliance with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
