City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for January 8, 2020 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-019 - Sign Code Text Amendment – ZA <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />The existing ordinance language restricts the placement of non-commercial signs until August 1st <br />in an election year. However, Minnesota State Statute 211B.045 permits non-commercial signs to <br />be posted 46 days prior to the state primary election. Minnesota primary elections occur on the <br />second Tuesday of August in election years or on August 11, 2020. Per the statute, signs may be <br />posted 46 days prior to the primary election or June 28, 2020. In response, staff worked with the <br />city attorney on the proposed language below. <br />Non-commercial Signs in an Election Year. In years where a federal, state or local <br />government election is conducted within the city, non-commercial signs may be <br />posted no more than 46 days prior to that election. These non-commercial signs <br />shall be placed in accordance with Section 1230.02 and 1250.03 Subd 2, 3, and 4. <br />Those responsible for posting the signs shall remove any signs within 10 days <br />following an election.” <br />The proposed language addresses all types of elections and removes the need to address special <br />elections. The proposed language is in conformance with Minnesota State Statute 211B.045 and <br />permits non-commercial signs to be posted no more than 46 days prior to the election. Staff added <br />specific code sections that defines where signs may be located. Section 1230.02 is addresses <br />prohibited sign placement locations and 1250.03 regulates temporary off-premise signs. <br />In addition, staff revised and restructured section 1250.03, Temporary Off-premise Signs. The <br />intent of the revision was to bring non-commercial signs in conformance with other temporary off- <br />premise sign standards. The existing ordinance language was silent on placing signs on publicly <br />owned land and there was no roadway setbacks standards for non-commercial signs. Below is a <br />summary of proposed revisions by subdivision. A full redline of the proposed changes can be <br />found in Attachment C. <br />Subdivision 1: <br />x Restructured and added clarifying language. <br />x Removed and relocated sign roadway setback to Subd. 3. <br />x Final draft: <br />Subd. 1 Sign Number Limit. <br />A. Signs shall be four (4) square feet or less in size, and less than four (4) feet high; <br />B. Signs shall be non-illuminated; <br />C. Signs shall be within one mile of the property for which the signs are advertising <br />this provision does not preempt the sign regulations for neighboring communities); <br />D. Signs shall be displayed no more than three consecutive days in any seven day <br />period. <br />Subdivision 2: <br />x Added language that the property owner may withdraw sign placement permission at any <br />time. <br />x Added subsections A and B.
