A. On -Premise Sign Draft Ordinance
Mr. Barron explained that the City Council formed an Ad Hoc Committee to review sign issues.
He stated that the Ad Hoc Committee previously addressed electronic signs and the electronic
signs amendment has been approved by Council. Mr. Barron explained that an ordinance
modifying the manner in which signage is allocated to property will be introduced at the June 20,
2011 Council meeting. He stated that the current sign code allocates total allowed sign area based
on road frontage. Mr. Barron explained that the proposed changes split the allocation of signage
between building mounted and freestanding signage. He stated that building mounted signage will
be based on a percentage of the facade area with different percentage amounts for the different
zoning districts. Mr. Barron explained that freestanding signage is based on one of the following: (1)
street frontage; (2) floor area; and (3) land area. He stated that the property owner can choose one
of these options that fit their need. Mr. Barron explained that commercial type uses in residential
districts will be allowed 12 square feet of building mounted signage and that the Neighborhood
Office District will be allowed four (4) square feet of building mounted signage. He explained that
the Board of Adjustment may grant additional amounts of signage or freestanding signage in
residential areas.
Mr. Jordan inquired whether the proposed changes will affect existing signage. In response, Mr.
Barron explained that a business that is changing signage in an existing frame will be
grandfathered in. He stated that if a business removes their freestanding sign to erect a brand new
sign it will fall under the new code. Mr. Barron explained that a business that removes the entire
front of the fagade including the sign and frame would likely fall under the new code. He
encouraged Commission members to submit comments on the proposed ordinance.
B. Election of Officers
Mr. Stacey moved and Mr. Dutoi seconded to re-elect Ralph Robinett, Chairman and Chris Jordan
Vice Chairman. The motion passed 7-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Deeken, Dutoi, Jordan, Lester, Mihalevich, Stacey, Vaughan
C. Appointment of Liaison to Environmental Quality Commission

Room for a Work Session on the Southside Redevelopment Plan.
