Planning staff to review portable-sign rules in plan development district after safety concerns
Summary
Commissioners asked staff to study portable-sign rules in a Plan Development District and consider clearer definitions, temporary sign permits and mandatory staff consultation after a commissioner said a portable sign blocked eastbound sightlines at a driveway.
The planning commission asked staff to research portable-sign rules in a Plan Development District and bring back options for clarification or change.
Staff (Staff member, Speaker 3) said the district's signage language appears different from general business rules and that no clear time limits for portable signs were evident in the code: "I did not see any time limits in there, no." Commissioners discussed whether plaza freestanding signs were intended to advertise a development as a whole rather than individual businesses and whether temporary sign permits or staff consultation would help mitigate safety and fairness concerns.
One commissioner (Committee member, Speaker 6) said a portable sign currently blocks eastbound visibility at a driveway and suggested adding a consultation step with city staff for safety review. Commissioners asked staff to research options, including time limits, temporary-permit processes and clearer distinctions between plaza signage and individual-business signage, and to return with recommendations.
