The group would like to place temporary signs in Navarre area parks and right-of-way. The signs are intended to identify and promote a community bike event. The City’s current ordinance allows the Council to issue a conditional use permit for signs once every two years at a given location. The Council may not issue a conditional use permit for signage in county or state rights-of-way. The signs are four square feet and will be placed at various intersections, including Navarre Park, Shoreline and Kelly Avenue, Shoreline and Casco Point Road, and Shadywood and Bayview. The Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval of the conditional use permit subject to the conditions outlined in the staff report.
