Commission recommends Riverview storefront transparency and simplified sign rules

The Planning Commission voted to recommend two related zoning text amendments for the Riverview pedestrian commercial overlay: one would require street‑facing storefront glass to be maintained as transparent during business hours (with an exception for blinds or curtains "necessary to block active sunlight") and the other would simplify how temporary and permanent window signs are measured and limited. Staff said the changes respond to concerns raised by the Riverview Business Association and will provide clearer guidance for owners and inspectors.
