Pasco considers allowing limited downtown sandwich board signs after two‑decade ban
Summary
Council is being asked to amend city code to allow some sandwich board signs in downtown Pasco subject to size and location limits; the workshop preview did not include the specific size or placement rules.
The Moderator told listeners that sandwich board signs have been banned from Pasco sidewalks for almost 20 years and that the council is being asked to change city code to allow some sandwich board signs in the downtown area, provided they meet certain size and location limits.
The transcript does not include draft code language or the exact size and placement requirements; those details were summarized in the workshop announcement and appear to be part of a forthcoming staff report or ordinance draft.
Why it matters: allowing a limited number of sandwich board signs could affect downtown businesses and pedestrian sidewalks; the council will need to define permissible sizes, locations and enforcement mechanisms before any code change is adopted. Next steps: staff likely to return with specifics and proposed code text for council consideration; no vote or ordinance was recorded in the transcript.
