The requirements for solid landscape screening would <br />remain in effect for all other present ordinance applications. <br />Paragraph .3 of Section 5-800 specifies the situations in which <br />screening presently applies. This paragraph would remain as <br />currently written and regulate application of buffering <br />requirements. <br /> <br />VII. SECTION 10-1000. SIGN REGULATIONS: The Planning and <br />Zoning Commission at its July 19, 1990, meeting, voted to review <br />the portable sign provisions of Section 10-1000. Please refer to <br />Section 10-1000 which is located on pages 90-92.c. <br /> <br />There are two sign regulation amendments which staff would <br />like to propose. The first is a new footnote for Residential, <br />Commercial, and Industrial Sign Tables B. The proposed language <br />is: <br /> <br />No portion of any free-standing sign shall encroach into any <br />utility easement. <br /> <br />Throughout the Zoning Ordinance, other types of structures <br />are prohibited from encroaching into utility easements. This is <br />done to insure access to the underground (and in some cases, <br />overhead) utilities located within easements. Adoption of this <br />amendment would serve to protect easement access. <br /> <br />The second amendment deals with signs on Main Street and <br />will be discussed during the portion of the review which is to be <br />devoted to Main Street issues. <br /> <br />VIII. SECTION 11-300 ZONING PERMITS (PGS 95-96): The <br />Zoning Permit requirement of the Zoning Ordinance has proven to <br />be a very useful and workable tool for insuring conformance with <br />Ordinance Use Zone requirements. The Zoning Permit program as it <br />has evolved, is primarily used to monitor new commercial and <br />industrial businesses moving into existing facilities. <br />
