Director Ewing provided an update on the policies related to banner regulations for selected cities in California.
Commissioner Roberts expressed a preference for smaller downtown village signs; he explained that he is having difficulty in making a decision without hearing from the merchants.
The Commission discussed and/or commented on:
*The pros and cons of allowing more temporary banners.
*The safety issues related to A-frame signs.
*Enforcement of illegal temporary banners.
*Feedback from downtown merchants.
Director Ewing noted that the maximum sign violation fee is $100 to $1,000 per day; however, a notification process is in place to allow the merchant several opportunities to remove the temporary sign.
Chair Donenfeld suggested inviting Tammy Perezchica as the City representative for the downtown merchants to provide feedback to the Commission.
Commissioner Hudson expressed a preference to maintain the existing banner program. He suggested standardizing the sign ordinance to include tighter restrictions for flashing "open" signs and hours of operation. Also, other elements of signage that need to be addressed are: sign design, shape and color to complement the building.
Commissioner Munger noted that in her work experience all the information that is required on the "for lease" signs is the contact person, phone number and square footage of the building.
Chair Donenfeld gathered the consensus of the Commission and directed staff to continue this discussion as a study session item and invite Tammy Perezchica, a Code Enforcment representative and legal representation from Doug Holland’s office.
