FILE#LA21-000028 <br /> May 17,2021 <br /> Page 2 of 2 III■ Increased the allowable canopy signage area from 25 to 50 feet to better reflect <br /> industry expectations. (lines 265-266) <br /> • Amended Table 1 to increase the height of monument signs in the business districts to <br /> 18 feet, and removed the maximum coverage for window signs, related to the building <br /> façade because it is an extra level of regulation beyond what is necessary. (Table 1) <br /> • Amended dynamic display to exclude time/temperature, and fuel price signs from the <br /> 35% changeable copy limit. Time and temperature are public service information, <br /> and fuel prices are necessary for gas stations, and using their allotment of changeable <br /> copy for fuel pricing is inconsistent with the intent of the ordinance. (lines 280-281) <br /> • Amended regulations for sale/rent/or lease signs, adding a paragraph b for clarity. <br /> (lines 334-342). <br /> • Amended the regulation for development construction signs, reducing the triggers <br /> where these signs are permissible. (lines 344-348) <br /> • Amended section 78-1373 which includes sign regulations that conflict with the sign <br /> ordinance. The proposed solution is to reference the Orono Sign Code. (lines 442-446) <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Are the regulations (number of events/duration)for temporary sign permits appropriate <br /> 2.
