Staff: sign code rewrite moving forward; workshop to follow

Planning staff reported progress on a comprehensive sign ordinance and told the Planning and Zoning Board the rewrite will be phased; staff said four existing businesses have sign-permit applications on the desk as they move to comply with current rules.

Staff said the sign ordinance text had not previously been consolidated in one place, which slowed earlier drafting. Staff recommended convening a workshop at a future meeting to discuss what the board would like to see in sign standards and to allow the consultant to begin work on the rewrite. No formal action was taken; staff asked for patience as the department compiles and organizes existing sign regulations for consolidated review.
