MEQUEST FOR, COUNCIL ACTION <br />2 1.0 BACKGROUND: <br />1.1 Since the adoption of the new sign code, the Planning Division has been challenged in its <br />interpretation, consideration, and approval of temporary signs. Although there are a few types <br />5 listed the there is no specificity on type of sign that is permissible and the timeline (usually tied <br />6 to an event) seems too short of a duration for certain requests. <br />7 <br />8 1.2 Similarly, the existing Master Sign Plan hearing process has been cumbersome to assign proper <br />review/approval authority. Currently responsibility is assigned to the Development Review <br />Committee, a committee with membership from all departments and divisions that are not <br />necessarily educated in the area of signs and sign requirements. <br />1 2 <br />1 2.0 EXISTING CODE: <br />ii ,1, 2. 1 Chapter 1010.03 (PERMITS), subsection 3 a-c (TEMPORARY SIGNS - PERMIT REQUIRED9 <br />1� 5 REMOVAL, and SIZE) states the following,: <br />1� 7 a.
