Memorandum
To: Planning Commission and Design Review Board
From: Planning Department
Subject: Sign Code Revision
Date: November 18, 1975
The October 28, 1975, joint study session of the Planning Commission
and Design Review Board was conducted rather informally. The meet-
ing was never officially called to order, nor was it chaired by
either a member of the Planning Commission or Design Review Board.
Staff informed members in attendance (Popp, Sakata, Smelser and Wakem
of the Planning Commission and McMonagle and Olson from the Design
Review Board, that representatives from the sign industry had been
notified and encouraged to attend and give input at the study session.
Essentially, discussion and comment concentrated on only several of
staff's recommended revisions to the existing sign regulations. Con-
siderable attention was given to staff's proposal to eliminate bench
signs as a permitted use in the revised code. What the members resolved
on this issue was that benches serve a public need and should be re-
tained, but the location and advertising on the bench would be sub-
ject to regulation. The permissibility of banners and flags, roof
signs and rotating signs in the proposed revised code was debated,
but failed to produce either an affirmative or a negative concensus
on any of these uses. Also, the amount of information that can be
'seen and grasped by the reader riding in an automobile was discussed.
I think it is fair to assume that most of the 'members felt that signs
that identify a business or product with the least amount of infor-
mation function as the most efficient means of conveying that message.
It is obvious that further discussion on the above-stated proposed
revisions,and other elements of the sign code which have not been
covered in the previous sessions on this matter, is needed and there-
fore should be taken up at the next Planning Commission study session
scheduled for November 25, 1975.
