Commission Moves to Integrate Draft Sign Ordinance with Redline; Staff to Check Enforceability Language
Summary
The Planning Commission directed staff to merge the new draft sign ordinance with the existing redline, focus initial review on definitions, and examine the wording of 'shall,' 'must,' and 'may' to ensure the ordinance will be enforceable. County and neighboring-township examples will be provided for reference.
Commissioners advanced the sign ordinance review process, instructing staff to integrate the draft ordinance with the existing redline version and distribute the combined draft for review. "The Commission directed that the draft ordinance be integrated with the existing redline version and distributed as soon as possible," and staff were asked to review the use of "shall," "must," and "may" to ensure enforceability.
Members also agreed to focus on definitions at the first review session and requested reference materials, including the Montgomery County Model Sign Ordinance and Franconia Township's billboard regulations, to inform local drafting decisions. No formal vote was taken; staff will return the integrated draft for subsequent discussion.
