Sign‑ordinance edits clarify multi‑tenant rules, require night‑view submittals and address visibility triangles
Summary
Staff clarified multi‑tenant sign definitions, required a night‑view for illuminated signs, gave industrial uses separate sign rules and confirmed site‑visibility triangles must be kept free of obstructions; commissioners suggested cross‑references to engineering standards for sight‑distance.
Planning staff proposed several clarifications to the sign ordinance: a revised definition of multi‑tenant facilities, a requirement that sign applications include a night‑view image for illuminated signs, and moving some obsolete district language into general standards.
Staff also separated industrial sign rules (allowing larger freestanding signs where industrial buildings are set back farther from roadways) and reiterated that existing signs out of conformance must come into compliance by a certain date. Commissioners asked about sight‑distance obstructions and recommended referencing MUTCD or AASHTO guidance for speed‑dependent site‑triangle measurements.
Staff agreed to follow up on cross‑references and to consider additional landscaping and maintenance language tied to sign conformance.
