Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />December 13, 1990 <br />3 (2) Temporary Signs in Commercial Districts <br />I'h <br />!v'- <br />In 1988 the City amended it's temporary sign ordinance to <br />Drive (former transmission site - proposed boat sales), churches, <br />etc.}. The ordinance amendment established a limit on the <br />number of temporary signs that could be issued for a commercial <br />property limiting temporary signs to one sign per 24 months and <br />gigu would be allowed for a maximum 3 month period. <br />Original Ordinance ... ,, - -Temporary Signs. There shall be no more than one <br />temporary (3 months or less) sign in any required <br />area, and there shall be no more than three (3) such <br />signs on any let, and the total area of such signs <br />shall not exceed 25 square feet. <br />Amended Ordinance in 1988 .... . _ <br />Temporary Signs. There shall be no more than one <br />temporary (three months or less) sign in any required <br />yard area, and there shall be no more than three such <br />signs on any lot, and the total area of such signs <br />shall not exceed 25 square feet. Such signs require a <br />temporary sign permit from the City. No such permit <br />shall be issued by the City if a conditional use permit <br />under Sub-paragraph A of this Subdivision or a <br />temporary sign permit under this sub-paragraph had been <br />issued in the previous 24 months to that property. No <br />such signs shall be allowed in residential zones unless <br />permitted as election or sales signs under this <br />Subdivision. <br />The Navarre business community has voiced major concern with <br />the limitation of one sign per every 24 months noting <br />temporary signs may only be on the property for a 2-week period <br />of time at the most and that a three month time period s not <br />realistic. <br />Staff has reviewed temporary sign ordinances with other <br />communities. The majority of the ordinances allow a specific <br />number of temporary signs within a o.ne year period.
