Commission agrees to begin sign ordinance rewrite in September, flags Reed v. Town of Gilbert limits
Summary
Planning commissioners agreed to start work in September to streamline the sign ordinance and consider design-based allowances while ensuring compliance with Reed v. Town of Gilbert regarding content regulation.
Commissioners instructed staff to begin rewriting the city's sign ordinance in September to reduce administrative challenges and clarify rules.
Planner Chris Khorey highlighted constraints imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court decision Reed v. Town of Gilbert, which restricts content-based sign regulation. Commissioners asked staff to explore options such as allowing larger signs for qualifying designs, excluding decorative borders from size calculations, and setting material standards to simplify enforcement while avoiding content regulation.
