Specifically, the issue of aesthetics was discussed <br />at great length. <br /> <br />The consensus of the group, as indicated in the proposed language was to: <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Increase the number of days to 90 per year. <br />Increase the number of permits to six per year, allowing each permit to have <br />a different number of days and whose cumulative total would not exceed 90 <br />days per year. <br />Allow different size signs based on the posted speed of the adjacent <br />roadway. Signs would be either 32 or 64 square feet maximum. <br />Allow more than one sign per lot for multi-tenant buildings provided that the <br />signs are placed a minimum of 100 feet apart. <br /> <br />The City Attorney reviewed the proposed changes and had no comments. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Action <br /> <br />The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend to the City Council that <br />the ordinance amendment be adopted. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached ordinance language. <br /> <br /> <br />
