Title
Sign Code Provisions Relative to Multi-Story Buildings (B)
This item seeks to initiate a Petition to the Plan Board regarding the Sign Code and specifically provisions related to the regulation of signs for multi-story buildings in and around the City's urban core.
Explanation
At the March 27, 2013, Economic Development University Community Committee (EDUCC) meeting, the issue of signage appropriate for urban buildings was raised by staff as an economic development consideration likely in need of Commission policy direction. The EDUCC directed that staff review the status of the existing Sign Code Petition and bring back a presentation on the matter to the Committee at the April 30th regular EDUCC meeting.
On April 30th staff reviewed the status of the existing Sign Code Petition and reviewed several proposed changes to the Sign Code which would allow for additional signage relative to buildings in and around the City's urban core. These changes were reviewed with affected parties subsequent to the March 27th Committee meeting.
The Committee heard the presentation from staff and received input from several affected parties and approved a Motion regarding next steps.
Fiscal Note
None
Recommendation
The City Commission direct staff to initiate a petition to the Plan Board to amend the Sign Code relative to urban buildings that are three (3) stories or more in height.
