Parowan commission tables wholesale replacement of sign code for more study
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a draft to repeal and replace the municipal sign ordinance but voted to table the public hearing until development standards, attorney review of political-sign language, and enforcement provisions are completed.
Planning staff presented a draft ordinance intended to repeal and replace the existing sign code, emphasizing goals such as preserving the city’s rural character, promoting safe pedestrian and vehicle circulation, and providing consistent rules for businesses. Commissioners discussed applicability, exemptions, and potential conflicts with Chapter 15 (billboards) and agreed the repeal-and-replace approach was preferable to piecemeal amendments.
Because key items remain outstanding—blank fields in the development-standards table, the city attorney’s review of the political-signs section, and more robust enforcement language—commissioners voted to table the sign-code public hearing and directed staff to return with revised language and comparative research. The motion to table carried unanimously.
