Temporary signs: staff clarifies 64‑day per‑year limit and seeks an application for tracking
Summary
The draft clarifies that temporary signs are allowed up to 64 days per calendar year and staff said it will create an application and tracking process to enforce expiration and the 30‑day cooldown rule; commissioners debated trailer signs and political‑sign treatment.
Staff proposed clarifying that the existing 64-day display allowance for temporary signs applies on a per-calendar-year basis: "So every year, they they can have up to 64 days for a temporary sign," staff (speaker 7) said. Staff proposed an application form and administrative tracking so the city can calculate days, enforce the 30-day gap after a permit expires, and check removal dates.
Commissioners discussed trailer-style advertising signs and double-sided displays, with staff clarifying the practice is to count one side for square-foot limits. Commissioners also asked that exemptions for governmental and nonprofit flags remain and suggested a possible 35-foot flag height cap to avoid oversized flags on private property. Staff recommended continuing to treat political signs under existing temporary-sign provisions rather than introducing permitting for standard political signs in residential zones.
