<br /> To hclp aid the comparison between the old Sign Ordinancc and the new Sign Code, both <br /> documents are attached. The notable portions of the old Sign Ordinance that were <br />. removed are highlighted, and the notable portions that were added or modified in the new <br /> Sign Code arc highIightcd. <br /> Temporary Signs <br /> As the Planning Commission may be aware, thcre have becn somc ongoing issucs <br /> regarding for-rent, for-sale, garage sale, and other similar temporary signs. Many <br /> residents have indicated a desire to use these types of signs off~site. Although these signs <br /> were plaecd throughout thc City under the old Sign Ordinance, this act was technically <br /> not pemlitted. The old Sign Ordinance did exempt pcople from having to obtain a sign <br /> pennit for these types of sign; however, that provision did not exempt the signs from the <br /> other provisions of the Ordinance. <br /> Attached to the proposed Sign Code are two options [or Chapter 1400.12 Subd. 7 <br /> regarding temporary off-premise signs in the residential sign districts. This subdivision is <br /> designed to make it easier for people to put up temporary, off-premise signs on other <br /> peoples properties in residential areas. Option A would provide the most flexibility but <br /> would be more dilIicult to adequately enf(Jrce, Option B would be casier to enforce but <br /> not provide as much flexibility, Other cities have implemented similar types of <br /> prOV1SJOns. <br />.
