COMMERCIAL SIGN REGULATION UPDATE <br /> <br />Planning and Building Agency Executive Director Robyn Uptegraff noted the Sign Regulation <br />Update responded to Council's request to increase enforcement against escalating commercial <br />Sign Code violations. She introduced Community Preservation Manager Bruce Dunams to <br />present staff's report. <br /> <br />Dunams briefed the Council regarding a plan to intensify code enforcement against illegal <br />banners, advertising balloons, excessive window advertising, A-frame signs in the public right- <br />of-way and other Sign Code violations that would commence following Council's approval of <br />the plan on September 2. He indicated staff would target each major arterial for a 4-week period, <br />make heavy use of warnings and re-inspections in an attempt to achieve voluntary compliance <br />before proceeding to legal mechanisms, and employ a consistent user-friendly approach to <br />enforcement. Dunams further explained the effort would require a redeployment of staff with <br />the result that other Code violations would not be addressed as timely as previously. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MINUTES 248 AUGUST 18, 1997 <br /> <br /> <br />
