WHEREAS, the Zoning Code allows tall, large signs in the Highway Commercial Zone within 1000 feet of an interstate highway so that the signs are visible to travelers along the interstate highway; and WHEREAS, there are only two interstate highway interchanges in Iowa City that are intended for commercial development and the Highway Commercial zoning designation is no longer used at one of those interchanges, making any existing tall highway sign in this area nonconforming; and WHEREAS, the City's Zoning Code allows changes or alterations to existing nonconforming signs in only very limited circumstances with the intent to eliminate nonconformities over time; and WHEREAS, given the significant private investment to install a tall, large sign structure, it is reasonable to include changes or alterations to such non-conforming signs among the limited circumstances where such changes are allowable; and WHEREAS, the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the proposed zoning code amendment and found it consistent with the broad intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance and therefore recommends approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA: SECTION I. The Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa is hereby amended as follows: Deleting paragraph 14-4E-8C-3 of the zoning ordinance and substituting in lieu thereof: 3. Other than for routine maintenance, if a nonconforming sign is changed or altered in any way it must be brought into compliance with the provisions of Article 14-5B, Sign Regulations, with the following exceptions: a. Nonconforming signs that are deemed historic, signs for a historic structure and signs on structures in a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone may qualify for a special exception as described in paragraph 4, below. b. On signs located within 1000 feet of an interstate highway that are legally non- conforming with regard to sign area or height limitations, the existing sign face may be changed or replaced, provided the sign meets all of the following criteria: (1) The sign is located on property that is zoned commercial; (2) The sign is not a hazardous sign, as defined in this Title; and (3) If the sign is located in an area subject to regulation due to its proximity to the Iowa City Municipal Airport, a determination of "no hazard to air navigation" has been received from the FAA. Ordinance No. 11-4424 Page 2 SECTION II. REPEALER. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this Ordinance are hereby repealed. SECTION III. SEVERABILITY.
