The request before you is to amend Chapter 12 Sign Code for the City of Arden Hills MN as it relates to the <br />allowance for Led Menu Boards in a Drive-thru establishment. <br />The Sign Code defines a Dynamic Display as: <br />Dynamic Display. Any characteristics of a sign that appear to have movement or that appear to change, caused by <br />any method other than physically removing and replacing the sign or its components, whether the apparent <br />movement or change is in the display, the sign structure itself, or any othe r component of the sign. This includes a <br />display that incorporates a technology or method allowing the sign face to change the image without having to <br />physically or mechanically replace the sign face or its components. This also includes, but is not limited to, any <br />rotating, revolving, moving, flashing, blinking, projecting, or animated display and any display that incorporates <br />rotating panels, LED lights manipulated through digital input, "digital ink," or any other method or technology that <br />allows the sign face to present a series of images or displays. <br />The code does not define menu boards. <br />Chapter 12 states the following in § 1200.02 Subd. 1: This Sign Code is intended to establish a comprehensive and <br />balanced system of sign control that accommodates th e need for a well-maintained, safe, and attractive <br />community, and the need for effective communications, including business identification. It is the intent of these <br />sign regulations, to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image o f the community by <br />regulating signs that are intended to communicate to the public in all areas of the City. It is not the purpose or <br />intent of this Chapter to regulate the message displayed on any sign. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize: <br /> A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned <br />character in each sign district as established in Section 1240; <br /> B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; <br /> C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact <br />public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; <br /> D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; <br /> E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant; <br /> F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while <br />restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections; <br /> G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property; and, <br /> H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of <br />the City. <br /> Subd. 2 Findings. The City finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation of the public health, safety, <br />welfare, and aesthetics of the community to control the construction, location, size, and maintenance of <br />signs. Further, the City finds: <br /> A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the <br />community; <br /> B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and <br />aesthetics of the community; <br /> C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be <br />established;
