Memo3MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 20, 1988
TO: Zoning & Planning Commission
FROM: Nancy S. Anderson IVS P
SUBJECT: Language for Temporary Civic Signs
The Zoning Ordinance does not address temporary signs that
are community oriented. Recently the HMPC wanted to place a
temporary sign that advertised the Farmers Market and Music
in the Park. The City Council allowed this sign with the
stipulation that language be added to the ordinance to allow
this type of sign.
The following is the proposed language for temporary signs:
"Civic and City groups are allowed temporary signs
for city -wide and community events. The total
size for all signs shall be 250 square feet.
Temporary signs for city -wide and community events
shall be erected no more than seven (7) days prior
to the event and removed within two (2) days
following the event.
The owner or manager of the signs, the owner of
the land, or sponsoring civic group, shall be
equally responsible for the proper location,
maintenance, and ultimate removal of the sign.
Setback requirements may be waived for such signs
provided that they are on the property with the
express consent of the property owner, and
provided they do not impede safety by obstructing
vision of pedestrians or motor vehicle operators."
The Commission action is to set a public hearing for the
July 26th meeting.
