The property owner is responsible to come in for a sign program to portion out, as <br />applicable, the allowable sign area based on lineal length offrontage of the property (1.5 <br />times the lineal frontage). All business (unless building identification sign scenario) get <br />a minimum of 50 square feet for signage. <br /> <br />Q: Raymundo: How does amortization relate to temporary signs? <br />A; Temp signs will be allowed for 90 days per calendar year without design review (if <br />temporary sign stays up longer than 90 days, they are treated as permanent signs or <br />become illega!.) <br /> <br />Q: Raymundo: Is there any thing to prevent applicant to submit/keep a non conforming <br />sign? <br />A: Staff does their best to deter such applications at the early stages; some applicants just <br />want it their way. <br /> <br />Q: Andy Raymundo; What about current signs that are in the process of review that do <br />not meet the new ordinance? <br />A: Applicants with proposals that do not conform to the ordinance means that they are <br />asking for an exception or if no findings can be made would be denied. <br /> <br />Q: (Comment) The city should go after tenants with illegal signs not the property <br />owners? <br />A: Property owner is responsible for tenants, but property owner and tenants will be notified. <br />Additionally, sign contractors know what a viable sign is per the site. <br /> <br />Q: Malony: Non-conforming pole sign needs refacing, is that ok? <br />A: Refacing a sing is OK, ifreplacing with like, but would require design review if a total <br />change to aesthetic of sign face is involved. <br /> <br />Q: Malony: What about previous for conforming signs? <br />A: same answer. <br />
