The proposed amendment places all sign regulations in one location <br />of the ordinance and changes the total surface area of real estate signs. <br /> <br />At the Public Heating it was explained the Zoning Ordinance currently allows real estate <br />signs not exceeding eight (8) square feet in area. The proposed amendment allows a <br />combined total surface area not exceeding five (5) square feet, plus five (5) square feet <br />for each one hundred fifty (150) feet of lot line adjacent to a public street. <br /> <br />Following discussion of the proposed amendment, in which no opposition was expressed, <br />the Planning Commission voted unanimously (5-0) to recommend to City Council that <br />the Zoning Ordinance be amended as proposed (see attachment). The Planning <br />Commission respectfully submits the above request for Council's further consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Jean P. Wilson, Secretary <br /> <br />Wayne D. P.
