The Planning Commission recommended the deposit language be removed. <br /> The Commission also recommends amending where temporary signs may be located. Currently, <br /> temporary signs are only allowed on approved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, Class 5). In some cases, <br /> approved surfaces are setback much farther than 10-feet, the standard parking lot setback. In order to <br /> treat all businesses and residents equally, the Commission recommends adding the following language: <br /> If an approved surface is not located in a frontyard oris more than 70 feet from the frontproperty line, the sign may be <br /> located in a landscaped area and shall be setback 10 feet from propei�y lines. The landscaped area around the temporary <br /> sign must continue to be maintained P)hile the sign is in place. <br /> Additionally, to help reduce the saturation of temporary signage, staff recommended when a non-profit <br /> sign is installed for longer than 14 days,it shall count toward that property's 90-day limit for temporary <br /> signage, the ordinance currently allows 30 days for temporary signs. The Commission and the Chamber <br /> of Commerce Executive Director expressed concerns with the duration changes for non-profit temporary <br /> signage and recommends maintaining the 30-day limit. <br /> The attached ordinance amendment reflects the recommendations from the Planning Commission. <br /> Planning Commission Meeting <br /> Staff has not received any comments since the Commission meeting. The Commission unanimously <br /> recommended approval of the request. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ Ordinance Amendment <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community Pith revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional POWERED By <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
