<br />al ides a master Plan for signs on a zone loll or, r up of zone
<br />W5 and pr►ilvides a master, record ofsigns on a zone lot or
<br />group cif ione lots. Requin*ng planning and coordination of
<br />signs on a property, will improve the streetscapie elven if the
<br />localgovemmient does, not impose detailed substantive re-
<br />quirements. Requifing the plan as a nutster, record of permit-
<br />ted and' actual signage on, a property accomplishes two
<br />functions'. It pro -vides thlosel who, ad minister the ordinance
<br />with information about, what signs already exist on a site
<br />when they are considepring a, permit application for a new
<br />sign on the site,, and' it eliminates the, need to recompute per-
<br />mitted sign. area - and numilbelm for a, property every time a
<br />sign admin'is'tration or, enforcement question arises, because
<br />the master record contains that information.
