Staff: Edgewater will rewrite sign code and adopt ADU rules after state mandate
Summary
City staff told the board they are updating the sign code to be content‑neutral following a Supreme Court decision and are drafting regulations to implement state mandates on accessory dwelling units; those items will return to the board in coming months.
At the end of the March 11 meeting, city staff updated the board on code work:
Staff said the city is revising its sign code to be content‑neutral in light of a Supreme Court decision and will remove content‑based categories (for example, removing distinct categories like "realtor" or "political" signs in favor of neutral labels). The director also said the city is preparing regulations to implement a state mandate that ADUs be allowed in all single‑family zoning districts; staff plans to present draft regulations to the board in one to two months. "We are working on making it content neutral, which is directly a result of that, Supreme Court case," staff said.
Board members discussed practical implications, including what can be regulated (size, location) and what cannot (message/content). The chair adjourned the meeting.
