Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />Wall and freestanding signs are very common permanent signs in the City. Wall signs are those <br />attached to or erected against an exterior wall surface of a building or structure and freestanding <br />signs are self-supporting signs that are anchored to the ground. Freestanding signs include pole <br />or monument signs which are distinguished by the supporting base of the sign. <br /> <br />The Commission may also consider the current standards for dynamic signs. Dynamic Display <br />signs are those that appear to have movement or change in any component of the sign which can <br />be in the form of rotating, revolving, moving, flashing, blinking, projecting, or animated display. <br />This type of sign incorporates technology to allow the sign face to change. Currently, dynamic <br />display signs are prohibited except drive-through menu board signs for fast food restaurants that <br />meet the requirements of section 1240.04. <br /> <br />The Commission is asked to review Chapter 12 in its format and content. In preparation for our <br />upcoming meeting, please review the sign code and be prepared to discuss your initial thoughts <br />and ideas on some of the following: <br />• Did you find the ordinance easily understandable? <br />• What elements of the sign code did you like best? <br />• What elements of the sign code are you most interested in reviewing? <br />• Do you think the standards and regulations are consistent with current technologies? <br />• Do you think the standards can be reasonably applied to all community members? <br /> <br />The review of the sign code will be an ongoing agenda item for the Economic Development <br />Commission. After the initial review of the sign code, the Commission will consider the <br />standards for wall, freestanding, and dynamic display signs at subsequent meetings. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
