FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Laura Carstens, Planning Services Manager
SUBJECT: Correction to Ordinance Rescinding Moratorium on Off-Premise Signs
On January 15, 2001, the City Council establiShed a moratorium on the issuance of
permits for off-premise signs while the Zoning Advisory Commission considered a text
amendment to the zoning regulations for these signs.
On April 16, 2001, the City Council reviewed the recommendations of the Zoning Advisory
Commission, and then adopted new zoning regulations for off-premise signs.
The Planning Services staff then recommended rescinding the permit moratorium because
the City Council had established new sign regulations. On May 7, 2001, the City Council
adopted an ordinance rescinding the moratorium on off-premise sign permits. Due to a
typographical error later discovered in the version of the ordinance that was included in the
City Council packets, this memo transmits a revised ordinance to rescind the moratorium.
I recommend that the City Council adopt the revised ordinance, which is attached,
rescinding the permit moratorium for off-premise signs.
