Board recommends limits for replacement of legally existing pole signs
Summary
The board recommended the City Commission approve ordinance 26‑11, which clarifies that legally existing pole signs can have their sign faces replaced without replacing supporting structures, while structural supports remain subject to current code.
Staff presented ordinance 26‑11 to clarify regulation of legally existing nonconforming pole signs, including a definition of "sign face" that allows replacement of faces or panels without requiring the removal or full replacement of the supporting structure. Scott Rodriguez said the change aims to remove ambiguity about whether a replaced face forces full compliance or removal of a nonconforming pole sign.
Board members asked for plain‑language examples and clarifications for commercial corridors where pole signs remain. The board voted to recommend the commission adopt the proposed LDR amendment on that point. "Replacement of the display, panel, frame, or trim would be permitted," staff explained in the presentation.
