City pauses enforcement of political-sign rules pending planner review
Summary
City staff told the commission they will not enforce current political-sign size rules during the upcoming campaign period while a new planner reviews the sign code; the commission accepted the administrative stay and took no further action on the appeal.
A constituent appealed a code-enforcement notice related to oversized political signage on private property. Staff reported multiple complaints and said the signs exceeded current size limits; however, staff also said they would not enforce the code immediately because the city currently lacks a planner and code-enforcement officer. The city will bring a new planner on board in May and expects that planner to review and recommend changes to the sign code.
City Manager told commissioners that administrative enforcement had been stayed and that the planner will bring recommended code changes to the planning commission and then back to the city commission if necessary. The commission voted to accept staff's status response and took no immediate enforcement action. Commissioners discussed whether temporary signage allowances and removal timelines should be clarified so residents and candidates understand expectations.
