Commission amends sign code to standardize banner sizes; schools cleared for larger 4x8 banners
Summary
Cooper City adopted a code change standardizing temporary sponsorship signs by size, allowing school‑sponsored 4x8 banners while directing city staff to set uniform sizes for other park facilities and to route certain changes through Planning & Zoning.
On second reading the commission adopted Ordinance 25‑10 (and related amendments) to standardize temporary sponsorship signage. The mayor sought consistency with the school board, which had adopted 4x8 banners for school sponsorship programs; commissioners weighed aesthetic uniformity, fundraising impacts on volunteer groups and potential wind‑load/permit issues for larger banners.
The commission approved adding the 4x8 option for school-sponsored banners and directed staff to define two uniform sizes per park facility (to be set administratively and, for any new size proposal, routed to Planning & Zoning). Commissioners noted the ordinance is a policy tool to make signage consistent across city facilities while preserving revenue opportunities for volunteer organizations that depend on banner fundraising.
