Resident urges enforcement of longstanding sign violation near McElroy
Summary
Resident Ron Fan told the commission the city has tolerated an oversized, nonconforming sign for decades that encroaches into the public right-of-way and exceeds permit dimensions; he provided documentation and urged the zoning administrator to act.
During public comment, resident Ron Fan identified himself, provided documentation, and urged the commission and staff to enforce the city code against a sign he described as illegal for more than 30 years. Fan said the sign was permitted at 400 square feet but had been constructed far larger and that the billboard-style structure encroaches over property lines into the city right-of-way. He asked the zoning administrator to treat each day of continued violation as a separate offense under the code and to pursue enforcement.
Fan said he contacted dispatch and brought records showing the original permit and subsequent construction discrepancies; he also gave the commission copies of documentation covering the city's code as adopted in 1996. The mayor acknowledged receipt of the materials and staff did not indicate an immediate enforcement action during the meeting; the item may be referred to the zoning administrator for investigation and follow-up.
