City staff propose one‑time banner registration, 60‑day annual limit and alley allowances for portable signs
Summary
The code update would let businesses register banners once (rather than repeated registrations) with a 60‑calendar‑day annual limit and add allowances for portable signs in alleys that meet minimum alley width and access requirements.
Staff told commissioners they recommend switching banner registrations from per‑occurrence filings to a one‑time registration per business and location, with an annual limit of 60 calendar days that the business can manage. The staff rationale is administrative efficiency and enforcement by complaint rather than repeated filings.
The presentation also addressed portable signs: the city’s previous portable sign rules focused on street frontage and unintentionally excluded businesses whose entrance is off an alley. Staff proposed an allowance for portable signs within three feet of the wall where the alley is at least 20 feet wide to enable downtown alley‑facing businesses to use portable signs.
