The moratorium was <br />established to review the City ordinances to determine if they address the recent emergence of <br />animated Advertising signs in the City's best interest. At that meeting, the Council directed Staff to <br />draft a resolution with several options for the Council to consider in terms of establishing what <br />types of permits could be issued, and further establishing goals for the future ordinance amendment. <br /> <br />To date, Staff has received one application for permit for an Advertising sign on the east side of <br />town, to replace an existing, several legged sign with a one legged sign. The lighting for the sign <br />would be external. <br /> <br /> <br />Jeremy art, AICP <br />Planning Manager <br /> <br />City Council Action <br /> <br />Motion by _ <br /> <br />Second by _ <br /> <br />Vote <br /> <br />Follow Up <br />
