Council adopts revised sign rules to clarify historic‑district standards and limit feather signs
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 1008, consolidating sign rules citywide, defining pulse/poll signs, grandfathering existing pulse signs and limiting feather signs to one per site; second reading passed 4–0.
The council adopted Ordinance 1008 on Jan. 5 to revise the city's land‑development code governing signs. Staff said the amendment consolidates sign regulations, defines the previously undefined "pulse" (or "poll") signs, establishes standards for signs in the historic overlay district and limits the number of feather signs to one per property, and provides a 30‑day notice to noncompliant signs once the ordinance is adopted.
Staff explained the intent is to simplify and centralize sign rules currently spread across multiple code sections and to clarify allowable temporary and permanent signs. The ordinance grandfathered existing pulse signs in good condition; staff noted property owners with structurally unsound signs must come into compliance. Council had no public speakers on the measure and adopted second reading by unanimous roll call (4–0).
Ending: Because the ordinance was adopted on second reading, staff said it would be codified and the 30‑day compliance notices could be issued to affected properties.
