ACTION REQUESTED:
Title
Communication from the City Manager and Director of Community Development with a Recommendation to ADOPT an ORDINANCE Amending APPENDIX B, the Zoning Ordinance Relating to PRIVATE SIGNS in the PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Currently, the Zoning Ordinance (Section 17.10.a.(8)) includes a regulation prohibiting private signs located in the public right-of-way. The management of public rights-of-way falls under the jurisdiction of the Public Works department, therefore an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance is proposed to remove this regulation and allow enforcement within the public right-of-way to remain with the Public Works Department.
This will remove duplication of regulations and provide for clearer, simpler, and more efficient government action.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A
