To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Barry Beagle, Associate Planner
Re: Proposed Sign Ordinance Amendment
The attached proposed sign ordinance amendment would exempt the RM -145, CB -2,
and CB -10 zones from the "triangular area" sign clearance requirement of
Section 36-63(b)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance. Section 36-63(b)(1) prohibits
the placement of billboard, canopy and free-standing or monument signs within
a defined "triangular area" on private property at street intersections.
Each of the three zones, however, has no minimum front yard requirement and
allows building to the property lines. Since a structure may be constructed
to the property lines, a restriction to prohibit the placement of permitted
signs within the triangular area of those zones would not be logical. All
other zones having a minimum front yard requirement -will continue to be
regulated by the triangular area with regard to sign placement.
Staff recommends that the proposed ordinance amendment be approved exempting
the RM -145. CB -2. and CB -in zonas frnm tho trianmilar %roe .t....,. ..1
