FILE #LA21-000028 <br />May 17, 2021 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br /> 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.
