The option to use a building mounted sign <br />would persist. <br /> <br />2) Allow any business fronting Main Street within the Main Street Overlay an additional option of placing a small <br />hanging sign which projects a maximum of four feet from the face of the building into the pedestrian corridor within the <br />Main Street right of way. The sign would be allowed to be 16 square feet in size, with a bottom clearance between seven <br />and eight feet above grade. A license agreement to address maintenance issue in right of way would also be a component <br />of the ordinance. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission, during their March 24, 20 I 0 meeting, held a public hearing to receive citizen <br />comments regarding on and off-premise signs in the Main Street District and Overlay (MSD/O). After consideration, The <br />Planning and Zoning Commission by majority vote for favorable consideration, forwards the proposal to City Council for <br />action. <br /> <br />As required by ordinance, notices of public hearing were mailed to property owners within 200' of the Main Street <br />District. <br /> <br />Action Reauired bv Council: <br /> <br /> <br />o duct public hearing. <br />Co sider taking action on recommendation for approval by P&Z on Zoning Ordinance amendments related to on and <br />offi premise signs within the Main Street District/Overlay. <br /> <br />j (~V J~ <br /> <br />Date <br />
