• Planning & Zoning Meeting Minutes of February 2, 1989 • Page 2 of 4 (3) Section 10-1001.4: e Item B will be amended as follows: (1) "A11 portable signs used for political advertising shall be anchored in a manner which will prevent their being blown about by a strong wind." (2) "All political signs shall be removed no later than fifteen (15) days after the election for which they were placed. In the case of run-off elections, political signs may remain in place no longer than fifteen (15) days following the run-off." (4) Section 10-1003: This section regulates sign sizes. The following changes have been made for the purpose of improving clarity: (2) Freestanding on premise signs located within a Controlled Access Highway Corridor, with a maximum allowable height of sixty-five (65) feet, three hundred (300) sq.ft. (3) Freestanding on prernise advertising signs for multi-tenant buildings, whether located within or outside the boundaries of a Controlled Access Corridor, three hundred-fifty (350) sq.ft. Mr. Albrecht stated the final change which staff is proposing involves format rather than content. The requirements of Section 10-1003 will also be incorporated into the Section 10-1000 Use Tables. These tables provide information in an "at a glance" format. In staff's opinion the proposed regulations working in tandem with the Standard Building Code will provide the City with an excellent foundation on which to base a fair, reasonable and effective sign regulation program. Staff was directed by the Commission at the January 26th meeting to do further research on sign size and requested that sign companies be contacted regarding size requirements. Mr. Albrecht informed the Commission based on the information received, staff recommends the following sign sizes: (1) Freestanding on premise signs with a maximum allowable height of forty-five (45) feet: one hundred-fifty (150) sq.ft. sign size. (2) Freestanding on premise signs located within a Controlled Access Highway Corridor (CAHC) three hundred (300) sq.ft. sign size.
