Councilmembers in opposition stated the following reasons:
• Quantity;
• Height;
• Limited areas;
• Quality;
• Esthetics;
• Enforcement challenges; and
• Business and/or property restrictions.
Development Director Bond explained sign permits, and how the limitations outlined in the code
adoption could potentially be a challenge for Code Enforcement.
AMENDED MOTION: By Councilmember Lucarelli, seconded by Councilmember Clauson, to
remove the prohibition of feather signs on the three corridors Bay Street, Sedgwick, and Tremont.
The motion passed. Councilmembers Diener and Ashby voted no.
Discussion was had on clarifying that if the main motion fails than feather signs will not be allowed,
if the main motion passes than the feather signs would be allowed, and how to move forward with
enforcement. Other temporary sign allowance options were identified.
AMENDED MOTION: By Councilmember Diener, seconded by Councilmember Ashby, to amend
section 20.132.220 (C) to state "Feather signs: Maximum of 32 inches in width, maximum of eight
(8) feet in height.
The motion tied. Councilmember Donlin, Lucarelli, and Chang voted no. Mayor split the vote by
voting in favor of the amended motion to be changed to eight (8) feet; therefore, the amended
motion passed.
Discussion was had on the enforcement of the hours the signs are displayed.
Development Director Bond reminded council about the prohibition of animated signs, and this
ordinance is allowing an exception for one type of animated sign. Also, defined the meaning of
animated signs.
Development Director Bond will bring enforcement tactics forward in January.
MAIN MOTION FAILED, AS AMENDED. Councilmembers Diener, Ashby, Donlin, and Clauson
voted no.
