INFORMATION SUMMARY The public hearing on the proposed ordinance was set over first to April 28 ': '4'. .c.: and then to May 26 to allow time for more input from the City Attorney regarding constitutional issues and more input from the NPO's and others. The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial areas of the city. The City's s a temporary sign regulations tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because ° '+ they are poorly defined, unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and ;- unenforced temporary signs create a visual blight on the community. As a _,; result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of a tint' the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments should assist in lee! ' providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs (one ,,, " _; business in a shopping center can effectively monopolize all of the 70 square . feet now allowed) , eliminate some of the clutter caused by the uncontrolled use of temporary signs, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative cost and simplify enforcement. t... The originally proposed changes included limiting temporary signs to a `+ period of 30 days (now 60 with continuous renewal) three times per calendar �''' year; allowing one temporary sign per business rather than the four now a allowed; limiting the area of temporary signs to 24 square feet (now 70 square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each banner and wall (a sign) ; requiring a permit for each temporary sign to allow for better r? tracking and efficient enforcement instead of having the first sign ...A permitted without a permit; eliminating the distinction of a temporary, CO ° rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together; ee 29 eliminating the duplication of lawn signs listed twice under 18.114.060; . = ...1 providing for real estate signs not classified as a lawn sign; providing for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period; and specifying that temporary signs be removed 10 days after the election to which they pertain. Copies of the originally proposed changes were sent to a subcommittee of the . a A ::':' ' Ilith 0 1,,,,, - . Chamber of Commerce's Public Affairs Committee. The one response received . . was positive. NPO 1&2 offered no objection end suggested that the proposal might help clean up Tigard. The other NPO's supported the amendments subject '" to comments that are addressed by changes made in response to the City e,;,. Attorney's comments. The NPO minutes are attached. ., The Planning Commission recommended the originally proposed ordinance. The only change the Commission made from the staff recommendation to them ,` (attached) was to reduce the size of temporary signs permitted from 32 square _4. ' -. feet to 24 square feet. Staff concurs. t, Based on the City Attorney's advice relative to the interpretation of the free speech provisions of the Oregon Constitution regarding signs, anything related to content must be eliminated from sign regulations. The City r Attorney's comments are attached. As a result, the proposed ordinance was • . changed in the following manner: 1 w Section 18.114.050 C. regarding a ten day limit for exempted signs has been t, ,e removed. This is to ensure real estate and political signs would not have to , k.=; be removed within 10 days as is now implies by the present code. It would t. " appear that other exempted signs listed such as directional signs, interior r' window signs, painted wall decorations etc. do not a removal period and, therefore, the section is not needed. ,} . Section 18.114.100 B.3. has been removed. It allowed temporary real estate '`4' ' signs to be limited to 32 square feet. Under the attached and revised proposal, all real estate signs would now be limited to the size and time e. e requirements of other temporary signs. : Section 18.114.100 C.4. has been changed to remove the word non profit from - reference to special event banners.

SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Development Code Pertaining to e,, •; Temporary Signs a ij OVERVIEW by :, ^ , Summary: The City receives numerous complaints regarding the 4 ; tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial Sx, areas in the city. The City's temporary sign regulations tend to . -' be difficult to enforce equitably because they are.poorly defined, unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary r , .s,, signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, + , amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of • the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments will assist •yw` in providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs, eliminate some of the clutter caused the ' uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the 70 square feet of temporary,rigid, freestanding shopping center ' ? , signage now allowed, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative z cost and simplify enforcement. i Policy Imnslications: Should the City revise its temporary sign t requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? ; '. ;;E 4; Financial Impact: There is some minor potential for increased revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign.) There should . :' ` M also be a savings due to an increase in the effectiveness of k, enforcement. Recommendation: is recommended that the Development Code . • n_� Chapter 18.114.100 be amended to: limit the number of temporary On signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of .area;- require a permit for all. temporary signs;. linu t.:.temporary'- sign, ` {e, ry permits to be issued for periods no longer than:30 days- and forn:--.Y,.-=',7,5.0;:,-..=:,:t j maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all temporary;, `i, ,,' signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same'classification. .-. ':I ANALYSIS Background ; ' i' ix x. . w .. i • A • v • ' t .ice X 4': 1 l .. 4 ,y` f Yd: ■ r . ,' The City continually . receives complaints regarding the proliferation of temporary signs as " well as its attempts to equitably enforce.the existing regulations. The code now allows four temporary signs per business, but only 70 square feet of temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space per premise (shopping centers and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary signs is allowed without a permit. All > " others are required to apply for a permit. Since temporary signs in, can be renewed after 60 days, they become almost "permanent". In shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can monopolize the allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space ' (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing an existing r+.''.� permit, They can effectively freeze out other businesses in the same location from having a temporary rigid sign. This has created , ` . considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when " , the city attempts to enforce the temporary rigid sign limitation. ' ' '.. - In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary . rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first "free" temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be removed. Enforcement requires clearly defined provisions and administrative efficiency to be .effective. , Summery of Proposed Chancres i ' ' o Limit temporary sign permits to a period of 30 days (now 4 -i ` 60) three times per calendar year a 4 r''ti o Allow one temporary sign' per business rather than the f ., four now allowed and the 70 square feet of rigid sign per premise o Limit the area of temporary signs to 32 square feet (one- half a standard 4x8 plywood sheet per face -- now 70 . ' ,f v square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each banner and wall sign) ‘; .:5- o Require a permit for each temporary sign to allow for ' better tracking and efficient enforcement instead of , having one sign permitted without a permit ,' en • -, o Eliminate the distinction of a temporary, rigid, . freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs °s together; banners continue to be included '1Y al in o eliminate the duplication of lawn signs listed , em twice under 18.114.060 (Sign Exemptions) 4:: '? o provide for real estate signs not classified as a lawn sign y K o provide for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn • i signs from the 10 day removal period ' , " a .- , i . `+ ? ? -fit a o specify that temporary political signs shall be removed , ten days after the election to which they pertain ' r '.$i h Alternatives .° 1. Change the Development Code as summarized above. This will increase accountability, simplify the process, limit temporary signs, and provide an equitable opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs.- 2 Retain the Code as is and require permits for all temporary signs. This will improve tracking but will.not d• :.'' eradicate conflict in shopping centers and multiple F �w • ,y business locations. ,' - 3. Change the Code to not regulate temporary signs.

Robinson, City Attorney's Office s , f RE: Amendments to Sign Code, TDC Chapter 18.114 x You have proposed several amendments to the provisions regulating temporary signs. I have reviewed these changes for conformance with the Oregon Constitution, ' Article I, Section 8. The Constitution prohibits the enactment of laws restricting the right tt '`' to speak, write or print freely on any subject whatever. The ' . Oregon Supreme Court has held that a sign ordinance regulating one ,` i,•' kind of speech and not another based on the difference in content j , violates Article I, Section 8. ApjLesolv Communications v. Multnomah County, 72 Or App 617, 696 P2d 1140 (1985) . Several of the proposed changes run afoul of this prohibitions Proposed Section 18.114.060.7 exempts "directional" signs from the sign permit requirements. As long as directional signs do not 0' contain a message, you may regulate them differently from other " types of signs. However, if a directional sign is content based, . ; ; it may not be differentiated from other types of temporary signs. Y- Therefore, you must allow all types of directional signs without respect to the message content. ' 9i.; Section 18.114.060(C) provides that real estate signs do not have to be removed within ten days of their initial display. Temporary ea political signs are required to be removed within ten days after sr the election of which they pertained. Both of there regulations to t are unconstitutional because they are based on content of the message. of Section 18.114.100.B.3 distinguishes temporary real estate signs from other types of signs. This is also unconstitutional. w Finally, Section 18.114.100.C.4 authorizes "non-profit special r t event banners". You may authorize special event banners but they may not be authorized only for non-profit events. Ackerlv Communication v. the City of Salem, — Or , P2d ( ) . There are at least two suggestions for dealing with the above changes. First, you could ban all temporary signs if you wish. { * „` You may also allow all temporary signs below a certain size; for 1: i .:.,, _ 1 qj 0 DONNELL, RAl�'IIS, CREW&CORRIGAN memo re: Amendments to Sign Code s May 9, 1992 Page • ' a ample, establish a size that is the typical size of a •: directional, real estate or political sign and exempt them from , '<:., ' regulation. Thus, you are not regulating based osi content but on ' ' reasonable time, place and manner restrictions which are 4,: permissible.

' It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached ordinance, a INFORMATION ^SUMMARY _ r The public hearing on the proposed ordinance was set over first to April 28 and then to May 26 to allow time for more input from the City Attorney ' ' regarding constitutional issues and more input from the NPO's and others. The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary n ; signs to proliferate in various commercial areas of the city. The City's temporary sign regulations tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and r unenforced temporary signs create a visual blight on the community. As a ..-,:, ' , result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of ' the Development Code (Ch. 18.114,100) . The amendments should assist in ` '. K providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs (one , , business in a shopping center can effectively monopolize all of the 70 square feet now allowed) , eliminate some of the clutter caused by the uncontrolled . use of temporary signs, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative cost and ` . " simplify enforcement. The originally proposed changes included: limiting temporary signs to a ,z period of 30 days (now 60 with continuous renewal) three times per calendar a. a year; allowing one temporary sign per business rather than the four now allowed; limiting the area of temporary signs to 24 square feet (now 70 square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each banner and wall sign) ; requiring a permit for each temporary sign to allow for better tracking and efficient enforcement instead of having the first sign i Mi permitted without a permit; eliminating the distinction of a temporary, CD ELI rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together; eliminating the duplication of lawn signs listed twice under 18.114.060; , providing for real estate signs not classified as a lawn sign; providing for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period; and specifying that temporary signs be removed 10 days after the election to which they pertain. 1. a f'''''. , `, Copies of the originally proposed changes were sent to a subcommittee of the -,{ T ,. 3 +.^: f" .+ '1-_ -+ ' � i. . . . .t' I '4 4 .,., ' : ,,:. ,. Chamber of Commerce's Public Affairs Committee. The one response received o was positive. NPO 112 offered no objection and suggested that the proposal j might help clean up Tigard. The other NPO's supported the amendments subject { to comments that are addressed by changes made in response to the City 1:_ 4 Attorney's comments. The NPO minutes are attached The Planning Commission recommended the originally proposed ordinance. The-SOS only change the Commission made from the staff recommendation to them (attached) was to reduce the size of temporary signs - feet to 24 square feet. Staff concurs. permitted from 32 square s. } Based on the City Attorney's advice relative to the interpretation of the ' free speech provisions of the Oregon Constitution regarding signs, anything :.> related to content must be eliminated from, sign regulations. The City ,.f > S =u Attorney's comments are attached. As a result, the proposed ordinance was changed in the following manner: , Section 18.114..060 C. regarding a ten day limit for exempted signs has been N removed. This is to ensure real estate and political signs would not have to " sse be removed within 10 days as is now implies by the present code. It would-': 4,5A: appear that other exempted signs listed such as direoti nal signs, interior AY„o window signs,gns, Painted wall decorations etc. do notremoval' period and, '4'; ,$' s'f therefore, the section is not needed. err Section 18.114.100 B.3. has been removed. It allowed temporary real estate .}; signs to be limited to 32 square feet. Under the attached and revised proposal, all real estate signs would now be limited to the size and time requirements of other temporary signs. Section 18.114.100 C.4. has been changed to remove the word non � profit from reference to special event banners. 4 PROPOSED ALTERNATIVES 1. Change the Development Code as summarized above.. 2. Retain the Code as is and require permits for all temporary signs. 3. Change the Code to eliminate regulation of temporary signs. M: 4. Change the Code to prohibit temporary signs. S5 O, _ ° 5.

FROM: Planning Division _ DATE: January 22, 1992 ' - SUBJECT: Proposed Amendments to Development Code Pertaining to , Temporary Signs OVERVIEW '' " Summary: The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial ''areas in the city. The City's temporary sign regulations tend to .:` e be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, . ' ', : unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary ,�' signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, ` amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of the Development Code (Ch. 28.114.100) . The amendments will assist '°'u= in providing equal opportunity for each . business .to utilize temporary signs, eliminate some of the clutter caused the uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the ' 70 square pare feet of tem ora rigid freestanding shopping center �• ,P zYr 9� e � pPa g 4- signage now allowed, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative cost and simplify enforcement. , ' Policy Implications: Should the City revise its temporary sign ,• :_ 4. :: requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? is ,:::A, '{ Financial Impact: There is some minor potential for increased revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with • n. no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign.) There should CC also be a savings due to an increase in the effectiveness of M enforcement. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Development..Code . - M Chapter 18.114.100 be amended to: limit the umber of temporary (9 signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of;area; . . , ti require a permit for all temporary. signs;. l3u u,t..::temporary sign..,. permits to be issued for periods no longer than•'30 -days, and for i,i ; ti I I maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all. temporary R. signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same classification. 4: ,mss„% 3 ANALYSIS I S 3 k Background .-- r, w 6f7 ' yJ a 1',- 4 i 4. s '` The City continually . receives complaints regarding the 3 proliferation of temporary signs as well as its attempts to '' equitably enforce the existing regulations. The code now allows four temporary signs per business, -but only 70 w square feet of temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space per premise (shopping centers and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary signs is allowed without a permit. All others are required to apply for a permit. Since temporary signs ,:' can be renewed after 60 days, they become almost "permanent' . In `. shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can • monopolize the allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space y ° (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing an existing permit. They can effectively freeze out other businesses in the 4 same location from having a temporary rigid sign. This has created :4 considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when the city attempts to enforce the temporary rigid sign limitation. :i In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary x rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first . "t "free" temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be removed. Enforcement requires clearly defined provisions and • "'':s' , administrative efficiency to be effective. • , , Summary of Proposed Chan cesW; ' o Limit temporary sign permits to a period of 30 days (now 4 :: 60) three times per calendar year , o Allow one temporary sign' per business rather than the e- r r.t four now allowed and the 70 square feet of rigid sign per premise ,�,� `� o Limit the area of temporary signs to 32 square feet (one 4 ' half a standard 4x8 plywood sheet per face -- now 70 , . square each i square feet for rigid signs and 30 suare feet for ech ' banner and wall sign) o Require a permit for each temporary sign to allow for c better tracking and efficient enforcement- instead of having one sign permitted without a permit o Eliminate the distinction of a temporary, rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs y g ' M ' together; banners continue to be. included o eliminate, the duplication of lawn signs listed ' twice under 18.114.060 (Sign Exemptions) 4 1 o provide for real estate signs not classified as. a lawn sign , - o provide for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period '. t t s '„ .,.....,,........ ..w;.,.:r.,.. .. ....;,...,:..... ,. ,r.a r is r.r: ..n.. o specify that temporary political signs shall be removed ten days after the election to which they pertain Alternatives 1. Change the Development Code as suramari.zed above. This • will increase accountability, simplify the process, limit temporary signs, and provide an equitable opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs. 2. Retain the Code as is and require permits .for all temporary signs. This will improve tracking but will not eradicate conflict in shopping centers and multiple business locations. 3. Change the Code to not regulate temporary signs. This y will eliminate enforcement problems but would appear to be counter to the City's efforts to improve aesthetics. `y, •z 4. Change the Code to not allow temporary=. signs. This would be •simple to enforce but may prove difficult for business. 5. Retain the Code as is except for limiting the square r' footage of temporary, rigid, freestanding signs per business not premises. • This would add to the proliferation of temporary signs and aesthetic problems. i 4 t {Y R`• } P Gem A . 4_ ' 1 x '' r T 1.,� � r ,� 1^. � .M.' /} - .. r r _ CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON "DINANCE NO 92- ;, • AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND AND REPEAL VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE PERTAINING TO TEMPORARY SIGNS (CHI. ~_ 18.114.100) ; BALLOONS (CH. 18.114.090) ; SIGN EXEffPTION CR. ;•` `; 18.114.060) ; AND DEFINITIONS 18.114.015.

TO: Dick Bewersdorff, City Planner - FROM: Michael C. Robinson, City Attorney°s Office RE: Amendments to Sign Code, TDC Chapter 18.114 at = You have proposed several amendments to the provisions regulating temporary signs. I have reviewed these changes for conformance , ''` with the Oregon Constitution, Article I, Section 8. The 4, ..*:.*. Constitution prohibits the enactment of laws restricting the right c 3 ' . to speak, write or print freely on any subject. whatever. The Oregon Supreme Court has held that a sign ordinance regulating one kind of speech and not another based on the difference in content l`. ;':violates Article I, Section 8. Ackerly Communications v. Multnomah 4' County, 72 Or App 617, 696 P2d 1140 (1985) . Several of the U .;.y proposed changes run afoul of this prohibition. Proposed Section 18.114.060.7 exempts "directional" signs from the j sign permit requirements. As long as directional signs do not • ' contain a message, you may regulate them differently from other '- - types of signs. However, if a directional sign is content based, "•'' it may not be differentiated from other types of temporary signs. -; .. Therefore, you must allow all types of directional signs without respect to the message content. J _- ; Section 18.114.060(C) provides that real estate signs do not have 0 to be removed within ten days of their initial display. Temporary political signs are required to be removed within ten days after s. co the election of which they pertained. Both of there regulations are unconstitutional because they are based on content of the 1. message. Section 18.114.100.B.3 distinguishes temporary real estate signs us from other types of signs. This is also unconstitutional. Finally, Section 18.114.100.C.4 authorizes "non-profit special event banners". You may authorize special event banners but they may not be authorized only for non-profit events. Ackerly Communication v. the City of Salem, ^ Or , P2d ( ) ' There are at least two suggestions for dealing with the above changes. First, you could ban all temporary signs if you wish.

As long ae directional signs do not contain a mss-age, you may regulate them differently from other types of signs. However, it a directional sign is content based, } it may not be differantiat• d from other types of temporary signet. 4 Therefore, you must allow all types of directional signs without , n , respect to the message content. Section 18.114.060(C) provides that real estate signs do not have ., •'ee. to be removed within ten days of their initial display. Temporary political signs are required to be removed within ten days after the election of which they pertained.

ISS i' BEFORE THE COUNCIL Should the City revise its temporary sign requirements to redefine the limits on temporary " ': signs? STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached ordinance. INFORMATION SUMMARY a The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial areas of the city. The City's temporary sign regulations ;, tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, unclear and ' ' conflicting.' • •Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary signs create a visual blight on the , •'~1' community. As a result, amendments are being pro osed to .the temporary sig n provisions of the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments should assist in providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize .temporary signs (one business in a shopping center ,', can effectively monopolize all of the 70 square eliminate some of the y po quare feet now allowed), el' clutter caused by the uncontrolled use of temporary signs, clarify the rules, eliminate , ' }°. administrative cost and .simplify enforcement. a is The proposed changes include: limiting temporary signs to a period of 30 days (now 60 with continuous renewal) three times per calendar year; allowing one temporary sign per business r,. rather than the four now allowed; limiting the area of temporary signs to 24 square feet (now R 70 square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each banner and wall sign) ; requiring a permit for each temporary sign to allow for better tracking and efficient enforcement ' instead of having the first sign permitted without a permit; eliminating the distinction of a temporary, rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together; 0. a % eliminating the duplication of lawn signs listed twice under 18.114.060; providing for real i. estate signs not classified as a lawn sign; providing for an exemption •for temporary real estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period; and specifying that temporary signs be .`'.' removed 10 days after the election to which they pertain. Copies of the proposed changes were sent to a subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce's Public Affairs Committee. The one response received was positive. ee The Planning Commission recommended the attached ordinance. The only change the Commission made from the staff recommendation to them (attached) was to reduce the size of temporary signs permitted from 32 square feet to 24 square feet. Staff concurs.

The City's temporary sign regulations tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, , unc).ear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary , signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, ' amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of ;- the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments will assist in providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize r '' temporary signs, eliminate some of the clutter caused the uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the ,f; 70 square feet of temporary,rigid, freestanding shopping center signage now allowed, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative • cost and simplify enforcement. Policy Implications: Should the City revise its temporary sign requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? _. ;' Financial Impact: There is some minor potential for increased revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with f. a no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign. ) There should ge also be a savings due to an increase in the effectiveness of r ' te enforcement. 9:. Recommendation: It is recommended that the -Development: Code R' Chapter 18.114.100 be amended to: limit the number of temporary ,, MO signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of area;., rm require a permit for all temporary signs;. .lim t Fnt porary:. sign,_, -i permits to be issued for periods.no.. longer than f'30>days .and:for a•' , , q maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all temporary signs (banners, rigid, wall)-'to be within the same classification.0 ,k,,, ,,` MAI,YSIS Background ,, r , v The City continually receives complaints regarding the proliferation of temporary signs as well as its attempts to a' equitably enforce. the existing regulations. • The code now allows four temporary signs per business, but only 70 square feet of temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space per ev premise (shopping centers and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary signs is allowed without a permit. All others are required to apply for a permit. Since temporary signs can be renewed after 60 days, they become almost "permanent". In e- r'- shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can `, monopolize the allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing an existing . ` x permit. They can effectively freeze out other businesses in the same location from having a temporary rigid sign. This has created considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when the city attempts to enforce the temporary rigid sign limitation. t In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first "free" temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be r �; removed.

Ve DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY Ed Murphy ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL ,.— Should the City revise its temporary . y porary sign requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? STAFF RECOMMENDATION ' It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached ordinance. sk . INFORMATION SUMMARY The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial areas of the city. The City's temporary sign regulations ,t{ tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary signs create a visual blight on the �1° community. As a result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments should assist in providing equal 4: , opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs (one business in a sh,pping center ks:! , can effectively monopolize all of the 70 square feet now allowed); eliminate some of the Y.t clutter caused by the uncontrolled use of temporary signs, clarify the rules, eliminate ' . administrative cost and simplify enforcement. nn :.:''',. :f The proposed changes include: limiting temporary signs to a period of 30 days (now 60 with �? A .tA=. continuous renewal) three times per calendar year; allowing one temporary sign per business rather than the four now allowed; limiting the area of temporary signs to 24 square feet (now . k 70 square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each banner and wall sign); requiring a permit for each temporary sign to allow for better tracking and efficient enforcement n e instead of having the first sign permitted without a permit; eliminating the distinction of ' :' s -` a temporary, rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together; ti =- eliminating the duplication of lawn signs listed twice under 18.114.060; providing for real estate signs not classified as a lawn sign; providing for an exemption for temporary real , , t estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period; and specifying that temporary signs be removed 10 days after the election to which they pertain. ` Copies of the proposed changes were sent to a subcommittee of the Chamber of Commerce's `n' Public Affairs Committee. The one response received was positive. ' The Planning Commission recommended the attached ordinance. The only change the Commission `—'e made from the staff recommendation to them (attached) was to reduce the size of temporary signs permitted from 32 square feet to 24 square feet. Staff concurs.

The City's temporary sign regulations tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, �; ` r unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary : signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of .; * the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments will• assist fi in providing equal opportunity for each business to .utilize temporary signs, eliminate some of the clutter caused the ' uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the '; f, 70 square feet of temporary,rigid, freestanding shopping center �' ? ' .:; signage now allowed, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative . , k e cost and simplify enforcement. `' 1�• Y K Policy Implications: Should the City revise its temporary sign r':' requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? Financial Impact: There is some minor potential for increased ,• 24_' revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with ` ' no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign. ) There should t; also be a savings due to an increase in the effectiveness of enforcement. ' b" : Recommendation: It is recommended that the Development Code e. Chapter 18.114 .100 be amended to: limit the number of temporary signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of area; require a permit for all temporary signs; limit temporary sign al-l permits to be issued for periods no longer than 30 days and for a 0 maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all temporary -A signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same classification. ANALYSIS 1.t, „ .-�,^) 1 .-j t ._ p w • A Background ( j`,. i F t+`r "�-`c % S -A c-k 1 } r a S 5.:, { 4 4 l is 1 The City continually receives complaints regarding the { proliferation of temporary 'signs as well as its attempts to r rig-' . equitably enforce the existing regulations. The code nose"allows four temporary signs per business, but .'only 70 , `.. square feet of temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space , per -', premise (shopping centers and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary signs is allowed without a permit. All • ,` :: " others are required to apply for a permit. Since temporary signs can be renewed' .after 60.days, they become almost "permanent". In { shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can . 1 4. monopolize the allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space A • (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing an, existing ' i permit. They can effectively freeze out other businesses in the - A, same location from having a temporary rigid sign. This has created , considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when the city attempts to enforce the temporary rigid sign limitation. <' v. In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first "free" temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be removed. Enforcement requires clearly defined provisions and administrative efficiency to be effective. q 71 r:?

The City's temporary sign regulations tend to ; be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, e. ' ' unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary . e ` signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of ,r the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments will assist , is in providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize 4+ temporary signs;, eliminate some of the clutter caused the e.:-.- uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the 70 square feet of tem p ora tYo ri id e freestanding shopping center ,.' signage now allowed, clarify the rules, eliminate administrative t cost and simplify enforcement. Policy Implications: Should the City revise its temporary sign . Jt requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? Financial Impact: There is some minor potential for increased 1 ;` < 'j revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign. ) There should also be a savings due to an increase in the effectiveness of s. enforcement. ie ' Recommendation: It is recommended that the Development Code I. Chapter 18.114.100 be amended to: limit the number of temporary signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of area; e' require a permit for all temporary signs; limit temporary sign „. fig - permits to be issued for periods no longer than 30 days and for a : 111 maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all temporary signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same classification. ANALYSIS Background } The City continually receives complaints regarding the t proliferation of temporary signs as well as its attempts to equitably enforce the existing regulations. ti'. r The code now allows four temporary signs per business, but only 70 + square feet of temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space per e y premise (shopping centers and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary signs is allowed without a permit. All others are required to apply for a permit. Since temporary signs ' can be renewed after 60 days, they become almost "permanent". In ' shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can monopolize the allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign space 4 " (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing an existing permit. They can effectively freeze out other businesses in the ,, same location from having a temporary rigid sign. This has created considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when ' 7,�' the city attempts to enforce the temporary rigid sign limitation. Y ' In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary 1 4 rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first ' , ... "free" temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be removed: Enforcement requires clearly defined provisions and - administrative efficiency to be effective. Summar�,r of Proposed Changes { , , :' o Limit temporary sign permits to a period of 30 days (now 60) three times per calendar year `1 f o Allow one temporary sign per business rather than the a four now allowed and the 70 square feet of rigid sign per i premise ''''''. m 4 ,t es' o Limit the area of temporary signs to 32 square feet (one half a standard 4x8 plywood sheet per face -- now 70 square feet for rigid signs and 30 square feet for each {".,`. banner and wall sign) �, l'r o Require a permit for each temporary sign to allow for better tracking and efficient enforcement instead of ` ®. having one sign permitted without a permit ,: o Eliminate the distinction of a temporary, rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together; banners continue to be included MI ' o eliminate the duplication of lawn signs listed I twice under 18.114,060 (Sign Exemptions] J o provide for real estate signs not classified as a lawn sign o provide for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn signs from the 10 day removal period ;i • V. . ! 3... t S R.,"1. t1 h ..•3 .. 0 . .:. l. f . - ,.t . f rA • o specify that temporary political signs shall be removed ten days after the election to which they pertain i Alternatives ti . Change the Development Code as summarized above. Thi.s will increase accountability, simplify the process, limit temporary signs, and provide an equitable opportunity for each business to utilize temporary signs. 2e Retain the. Code as is and require permits for all temporary signs. This will improve tracking but will not eradicate conflict in shopping centers and multiple '` business locations 3. Change the Code to not regulate temporary signs.. This will eliminate enforcement problems but would appear to be counter to the City's efforts to improve aesthetics :`. 4. Change the Code to not allow temporary signs. This would ,' be simple to enforce but may prove difficult for business. 5. Retain the Code as is except for limiting the square k�. footage of temporary, rigid, freestanding signs per business not premises. This would add to the proliferation of temporary signs and aesthetic problems. 0 a k, is OWN } f a .r sI 7 �: ;j (� t 4,_ January 22, 1992 art,.• FTI , , � OREGON ':,....-..

A public hearing can be ,y scheduled for a later date. Staff suggests having the work session at the January 6, 1992 meeting if time permits after consideration of the Tigard Triangle and the Shonkwiler appeal. t Attached are revised temporary sign provisions that: o eliminate the duplication of lawn signs listed twice e'' under 18.114.060 (Sign Exemptions) t o clarify that temporary signs can be issued for a maximum 1. of three permits/year ' '` o provide for real estate signs not classified as a lawn l'' := sign o correct the temporary sign summary chart 4. o provide for an exemption for temporary real estate lawn 4.,' i': signs from the 10 day removal period o specify that temporary political signs shall be removed t/ k ten days after the election to which they pertain Not Changed at this point is the 32 square feet maximum size for a temporary sign. While 32 square feet may be relatively large for sandwich board type signs, it does provide for signs on commercial or industrial properties. The Commission may want to consider , whether the size for the two types of signs should different. es Also attached is a summary of the CG-CBD sign requirements. The Commission was interested in the size allowed for shopping center '2 ILI 2- monument type signs. The actual code sections are also attached. The code provides administrative provisions to increase sign area #''. and height under certain guidelines. These provisions allow for an increase in the area allowed per sign face from 70 square feet to 135 square feet. It is also possible to gain a sign code exception '" '.. > for an additional 25 percent of area or height. I T tf. 1 4.. .c 1 M1 ;. ,. f '�:� as j �� r7 <... } 7. ?

She said this seemed to be an indication that too few streets are doing too much work. Regarding the setback s ' issue, she pointed out the difficulties in establishing property lines ' { ., and said that right-of-ways are sometimes unclear. She favored limiting . the fence height to 5 feet on a major collector. She expressed concern , about security problems, where a high fence could help burglars go undetected. 4, o Commissioner Saporta was opposed to allowing 8 foot height,. out he thought 6 feet was maximum acceptable. He expressed concern about the -' aesthetics and the possibility of a walled community developing. o Commissioner Castile stated that 5 feet was his preference for height limit of front yard fences. ! 'w<. o Corm+issioner Barber favored eliminating the 2 foot setback. She did not e. agree that there would necessarily be a security problem involved with 44 4 ' higher fences. sr o Discussion followed concerning the living fences, hedges, and trees; and s ` 1 Senior Planner explained how these are regulated with regard to clear �4 vision area. * Commissioner Hawley moved and Commissioner Moore seconded to recommend " " to City Council to approve amendment to the Community Development Code Chapter 18.1000090 revising of the City's fence regulations as per staff's recommendations, except item B. (2.) will be to allow fences "up to six feet in height in front yards adjacent to any designated .. arteria , ma3or co ector or minor collector street" excluding clear i- vision areas. Discussion followed regarding fence heights in rear and side yards. Living fences were discussed further. Consensus was that living fences should be excluded from the fence code. s ., Motion passed by majority vote of Commissioners present, with 1.. ;r .,, Commissioner Boone voting "No." Commissioner Hawley abstained. ees 5.3 ZONE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ZOA 91-0004 A proposal to consider amending , +` a the Community Development Code pertaining to Temporary Signs (Ch. A' 18.114.100); and Definitions (Ch. 18.114.015). The proposal amendments 05 r wi l l limit the number of temporary signs per business to one with a y. maximum of 35 square feet of area; require a permit for all temporary e ;. signs; limit temporary sign permits to be issued for periods no longer e. 0 than 30 days and for the maximum of three periods per calendar year and include all temporary signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same s.

He noted the change from 70 w to square feet to 30 square feet for rigid signs. He stated that requiring '`` a permit for each temporary sign would allow for better tracking and more efficient enforcement. He brought up the issue of lawn signs, such as real estate signs, pointing out that limiting the time on these would not necessarily be appropriate. He suggested exempting real estate ;' ` signs from the permit process. If this is elected, then he advised i taking out 18.114.060 C. regarding removal within 10 days for exempt signs. He advised that the other option would be to deal with real = estate signs under section 18.114.100, adding a section allowing continuous reissuance. Senior Planner advised there were no comments received from the Chamber ,i of Commerce. 'it =w `: o Discussion followed concerning sandwich signs and banner signs, with Senior Planner clarifying the new regulations. Commissioners expressed "'- concerns for businesses who do not have access to permanent signs. Senior Planner explained some businesses will have more sign space than they currently have. The possibility of several businesses sharing one sign was considered, with positive and negative aspects. o Commissioner Castile favored sending back the proposed Amendments for staff revision, as he found it not to be business oriented. Discussion ,. .'. followed concerning small businesses in shopping centers and the f problems they face with regards to limited signage availability. PUBLIC TESTIMONY , '44 -4 *. o Bill Gross signed up to speak on real estate signs, but decided this ,-e- issue was no longer pertinent, since the lawn signs would be exempt. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED :`ta,': • o Commissioner Barber suggested taking out A. 6, Lawn signs from s i4 :2, 18.114.060, as it is covered under section 1. (a.) in section A. x previously. o Commissioner Moore favored reducing the size for any one side of a sign n. so there would not be 32 square feet on one sign. Ma o Commissioner Saxton discussed the difference between temporary events { signs and those businesses who are precluded from being on the monument signs in shopping centers. 0a o Commissioner Saporta preferred to have the staff revise the Code wording t� and have the Commission address the amendment at another meeting. Consensus was to have staff re-write the sections pertaining to temporary sign size, real estate signs, and the issue of small <', businesses with no permanent signage. Commissioner Castile further ze wanted to hear from the small businesses as to their needs. " PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - NOVEMBER 4, 1991 PAGE 5 i•'. a, * Commissioner Saporta moved and Commissioner Fessler seconded to have _ proposed amendments to Sign Code regarding temporary signs re-written and to provide Commission with further information about current requirements for shopping center signs and how they interface.

She said this would provide preparation in the event the President and Vice President are both 4 d . = absent during a meeting. ,{ Commissioners discussed this proposal, with several Commissioners voicing their feelings that their experience on the Commission was not sufficient yet.

ENDATIONS : ,j�4?J Y �l Current issues that restrict understanding and enforceability of C ?'1 ,r' the Tigard Sign Code: ' , - 0, The temporary sign code stipulates that all temporary sign permits v+ shall terminate within 60 days from the date of issuance, and a "`,r^ permit may be renewed upon the showing of good cause for the permits continuation. What does "good cause" imply. Is it related \fy0 to the businesses establishment of financial windfall resultant `d `„ 'ee from the signs use or is the City to consider the sightliness of .- y, apt the area as a basis of approval/denial? (18.114.100 B(2) ) t 3C 2. 4 1'2- ✓ The code stipulates that the total number of temporary signs for ;+'; s any one "business" at a specific time, shall not exceed four. „<. (18.114.100 C(1) ) The code further limits the total area of all -/FREESTANDING TEMPORARY RIGID SIGNS on the "premises" to 32 sq ft. ` �", ,'"' I in a residential zone and 70 sq ft. in all other zones. (18.114.100 , ', V,+, :C (2 a-b) ) It is important to note that the aforementioned sq 9 \,' )footage requirements are specific to freestanding temporary rigid 1 .,,_ sr signs. These limits are not specifically applicable to either ki- Temporary Wall Signs or Banners; which are limited to a maximum of s thirty square feet per sign. Thus, it is permittedk within the + r code, for an established business to display four temporary signs, ?' with the following being possible scenarios displaying the extremes of possible usage combinations: a. Four banners, each of which is a maximum area of thirty '_• square granted necessary permits have been issued. (equals e.. uare feet; q 120 sq. feet of temporary signs) . se b. Three banners, each representing the maximum thirty square feet and a freestanding temporary sign of seventy sq. ft, assuming a. - that no other business on the premises is utilizing freestanding }: SG temporary sign space and that a permit has been issued for the three temporary signs not exempted from the permit process. (equals -mot 160 sq. feet of temporary signs) • L , c. A combination of banners, balloons` and rigid signs. c Limit of four signs, with only rigid sign space limited to premise 0 allocation restrictions, and balloons limited to a 10 day permit a) issued once a year. d.

Allowing the first temporary sign without a permit, is a .� problematic contradiction for the effective enforcement of the 70 sq. ft. limitation for Freestanding Temporary Rigid Signs. It is �q. problematic to attempt to regulate 70 sq feet when businesses are ) `. legally within their rights to erect one free sign. How is the s y City to arbitrarily determine whose signs are legal and permitted to stay, and whose are illegal and must be removed when we have no :1. idea whose sign was erected first and how long they have been �' erected. In the case of the Albertson's Shopping Center, if ten temporary rigid signs are erected, which signs stay and which are removed? Or, are they all removed and told to come in and complete the paperwork for a permit, which is then a process external to the code as written. ::.'` Is it an efficient and necessary use of staff time and energy to ' monitor and enforce seventy sq, feet limitations for temporary freestanding signs, when banners are not included in the restrictions? Why regulate the area of temporary freestanding � .'= , signs per premise, rather than by business? ,e 4. In the current system, businesses are allowed to renew their !.' .� ' temporary permit at the expiration of sixty days. This clouds the e.: definition of temporary signs, as well as equity. Temporary signs _' may indeed perceptually evolve into permanent signs if the• M f' "permitted" business renews the permit prior to the application of }' ': any other business located within the premise. Theoretically, a '.., business can continue to renew the permit indefinitely. This .-.. ; relates to problem (1) : embracement of sufficient criterion for the denial of a renewal request. .,- ,. Additionally, if a single business monopolizes the use of the + '` seventy square feet allotted for freestanding temporary rigid ;'! signs, the issue of equity arises. At what point, and by what 4 -' process does the City have a responsibility to insure equal access '.+� , to designated sign space? If we continue to embrace a first come I ;`-' first served process upon the date of renewal, we may be creating a competitive aura that is not positive or necessary. It does not a. appear productive or prudent to have businesses race down to City e hall at 7:55 to wait for the windows to open to file for a permit. . I Who arrived first, etc? These scenarios place the City and employees in unnecessary positions. The relationship between a "business" and a "premise" is faulty. Acknowledging that many businesses define a premise, each y is with unique values and beliefs, it is not surprise that a scarce resource such as temporary freestanding sign space creates fervor between businesses, and with the City. Such a product is not only 4? unnecessary, but extremely unproductive. 4. `(f'.f c t Y, r t_ 4 s t 1 :. , '.> r r l 7 7. ,'l I •l 4. "4. v. l •` y • 1 T t ' ,,< al EXAMPLES. 1. HOLLYWOOD VIDEO: Hollywood Video was persuaded to remove the three banners erected on the south side of their business, one banner from the . J' : front-side face, and the A-board located in front of the establishment. In fact, the four banners (30 sq. ft * 4) are legal as stipulated in the Community Development Code. (18.114.100 C(5) ) Only the A-board was illegal, for the seventy square feet of temporary freestanding rigid signs was already allocated for that i4, .' s premise. The owner of Hollywood Video was legally, per code, required to secure sign permits for three signs. (minus the one . r e exempt) 2. FIRESTONE TIRES: Firestone Tires currently has four banners erected. This is • not a violation of the Community Development Code, except for the ,' fact they are required to attain sign permits for three of the signs. 3. ALBERTSONS SHOPPING CENTER: Currently, approximately eight signs line the frontage area in front of this shopping complex. Each sign is classified as a 4'� ' temporary freestanding rigid sign, which are regulated by the .-° , seventy square feet per premise. Each business is lawfully allowed x .y one sign without a permit, which complicates enforcement since no • ' f?: information is available regarding length of sign use, area utilized, and location. z t RECOMMENDATIONS: t ®; 1) Amend the Community Development Code in the following manners: ri 1 a. Limit the number of temporary signs per business to one: Stipulating the maximum square footage of 30 sq. feet per business. This sign may be a freestanding temporary rigid sign, banner, 4a; ..1 balloon, etc. This will increase the ability to enforce the sign code, respect businesses perceived right to advertise on the premise, while limiting the size and number of signs. b. Require the attainment of a sign permit for all temporary .. signs. This will effectively provide a mechanism for tracking sign .: permits, use, and expiration dates. c. Maintain a current tally of temporary sign permits issued, 1 ' -a 4' location, type of sign, and expiration date. The code enforcement officer can utilize this listing as a reference to identify illegal .: t 1 ' r r { I fat."..; .' k . ♦ _ x. 34 ._ . , . +' = signs. If a illegal sign is located the Code Enforcement Officer j .;• :` can issue a notice on site, streamlining the paperwork process and i. expediting the compliance process. ***Businesses who currently do not utilize temporary signs will not be motivated to use them with this amendment. Thus, the number of temporary freestanding rigid signs at a complex such as Albertson's may not decrease numericall y (except duplicate signs) ,, the size of numerous signs will be reduced, increasing the sightliness of the ora area. The number of temporary .:., p ry signs city wide will be reduced, as - many establishments currently erect more than one temporary sign. 2. Amend Communit y Development Code to require permits for all ,. signs. Retain the rest of the code as is. Although, this may improve accountability, it will not eradicate the ' p Y P will problems of w- enforcing seventy square feet per premise. `e 3. Do not regulate temporary signs. Not recommended, but a ,`. thought. 4. Do not allow temporary signs. Will create fervor. 5. Retain code as is, except omit the stipulation of seventy square feet 'per premise for freestanding rigid signs. Limit the ;+ square footage per business, not premise. Allow maximum of four signs but limit sign area to "X" This paper is merely to illicit thoughts and to offer focus. Please feel free to critique and amend.

OVERVIEW se Summary: The City receives numerous complaints regarding the tendency for temporary signs to proliferate in various commercial areas in the city. The City's temporary sign regulations tend to be difficult to enforce equitably because they are poorly defined, unclear and conflicting. Uncontrolled and unenforced temporary 1. �: signs create a visual blight on the community. As a result, amendments are being proposed to the temporary sign provisions of the Development Code (Ch. 18.114.100) . The amendments will assist in providing equal opportunity for each business to utilize 'R` temporary signs, eliminate some of the clutter caused the S uncontrolled use of temporary signs, eliminate competition for the ' r1 one temporary shopping center sign now allowed, clarify the rules, . eliminate administrative cost and simplify enforcement. , Policy Implications: Should the City revise its temporary sign requirements to redefine the limits on temporary signs? { : Financial impacts There is some minor potential for increased revenue because of the number of uncontrolled, temporary signs with . '' no permit. (Temporary sign fee is now $10 per sign.) Recommendation: It is recommended that the Development Code Chapter 18.114,100 be amended to: limit the number of temporary ::. signs per business to one with a maximum of 32 square feet of area; require a permit for all temporary signs; limit temporary sign <j permits to be issued for periods no longer than 30 days and for a maximum of three periods per calendar year; include all temporary signs (banners, rigid, wall) to be within the same classification. , '�' ANALYSIS a ;,,S Background t...- The City continually receives complaints regarding the ta. ;: proliferation of temporary signs as well as its attempts to Ceequitably enforce the existing regulations. CO The code now allows four temporary signs per business, but only one temporary, rigid, freestanding sign per premise (shopping centers 02 and multiple business locations) . The first of the four temporary t9 signs is allowed without a permit. All others are required to , ' w apply for a permit. Since temporary signs can be renewed after 60 ....1 days, the can become almost "permanent" . In shopping centers and multiple business locations, one business can monopolize the one allowed temporary, rigid, freestanding sign (70 square feet allowed) by continually renewing the permit. They can effectively .", freeze out other businesses in the same location from having such i _ a temporary rigid sign. This has created considerable discontent among businesses in the same center when the city attempts to a ( , . -art• .... ., ... ,x. e. / Y • enforce the one temporary rigid sign limitation. j. In sign code enforcement, where there are a number of temporary rigid signs, the City cannot determine whose sign is the first "free temporary sign to be allowed versus those that must be , ' -: removed. Enforcement requires clearly defined provisions and administrative efficiency to be effective. t 4 z Summary of Proposed Changes o Limit temporary sign permits to a period of 30 days (now 60) three time per calendar year o Allow one temporary sign per business rather than the four now allowed and the one rigid sign per premise o Limit the area of temporary signs to 32 square feet (one- 4 z half a standard 4x8 plywood sheet per face -- now 70 square feet for one rigid sign and 30 square feet for - - -'each banner and wall sign) '' o Require a permit for each temporary sign to allow for � - , , better tracking and efficient enforcement o Eliminate the distinction of a temporary, rigid, freestanding sign by classifying all temporary signs together : Alternatives 1.
