BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION Staff asked the City Council on June 21, 2010 for authorization to review the signage ordinance for the CRT zoning district as it applies to large lot parcels that have approved uses which generate large assemblies of spectators and sponsors. The issue is the sponsor advertisements that occupy the perimeter of the track. With the current ordinance, the signs are not allowed. These types of sponsor signs are no different the signs you see on the outfield fence of many ball fields in communities. Staff has drafted an ordinance that will allow event sponsor signs, signs subordinate to a principal use intended for the display of information for onsite patrons, for uses that have received a Interim Use Permit (IUP). This is an overview of what criteria must be met to have these signs: • Requires a valid IUP • Sign plan approved by City staff • Larger than 20 acres • No more than 50 signs • 32 square feet max size, one sided only • 10 feet from property line • 25 feet from right-of--ways • Must face away from right-of--ways • 6 foot max height • Signs shall not be illuminated ATTACHMENTS ^ Memo to the City Council dated June 21, 2010 ^ Ordinance No. 10- N:\Deparhnents\Community Development\Planning\Case Files\OA\OA 10-07 CRT Signs\OA 10-07_PC.doc
