A <br />few of the items that have been changed are creating consistency between similar types of signs, such as <br />construction signs and real estate signs, and simplifying the regulations of the allowed square footage for <br />signs. <br />The purpose of this meeting is to focus the Council's attention on the proposed substantive changes. <br />These changes would affect the size, number, and/or type of signage throughout the City. Because of <br />this potential impact, it is important that all parties fully understand the changes as proposed. <br />Staff will be looking for input from Council on the following proposed changes. <br />S:\PLANNING MAIN\Case Files\OA\OA 09-O1 Sign Oxd Update\OA 09-01_CC-3.doc <br />
