5. Staff Report-Sign Ordinance Staff Report Date of Meeting: June 8, 2015 To: Economic Development Authority From: Kristina Handt, Executive Director Re: Sign Ordinance Background: The EDA has heard from businesses in meetings and through surveys that the sign ordinance has problems. We haven’t gotten many specific examples of how it is cumbersome to businesses, just general comments. Since the sign ordinance is part of the Development Code, any changes would have to go through the Planning Commission who holds a public hearing prior to making Commission. Discussion on changes began at the May EDA meeting. Scandia business owners were emailed and asked for their input. Issue: Should the EDA recommend changes in the Sign Ordinance? Proposal Details: I’ve provided a draft update to the sign ordinance to incorporate the changes to the community event signs as discussed at the last meeting. Are there other changes that should be recommended to the Planning Commission and City Council? What specific changes, if any, should be made to the Architectural Guidelines?
