Summary
The council approved ordinance 0-25-04 updating the city sign code with Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations and a council amendment limiting flag provisions to businesses and institutions rather than residences.
The city council approved ordinance 0-25-04, a revision to the city sign ordinance, adopting most recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission and making a single council amendment to narrow the section on flags.
Hugh, speaking for planning staff, summarized the Planning and Zoning Commission's recommendations, which included changes to sign definitions, prohibited signs, rules for flags, marketing rules for residential subdivisions and enforcement provisions. Councilmembers reviewed the packet and asked questions about the proposed changes.
Council approved one change to the commission’s draft: the council removed the word “residence” from the flag provisions so those rules apply only to businesses and institutions. Planning staff characterized that as the council’s sole amendment to the commission’s recommendation.
A council member moved to approve ordinance 0-25-04 and another council member seconded; the motion carried and the ordinance was approved as amended in the meeting. The transcript of the meeting shows approval was given, but does not include a roll‑call tally in the excerpt provided.
Ending
The ordinance will be implemented according to the city’s ordinance-adoption procedures; planning staff and the city attorney had been involved in drafting the changes and the council’s single amendment will be incorporated into the final signed ordinance.
