Item #2: Section 165-130
Staff is seeking input from the DRRS regarding this section of the ordinance regarding signage.
Changes of this section may be needed to avoid any confusion and add clarification to this section of
the ordinance. Staff believes that this section of the ordinance is difficult to understand and read for
the general public. Currently, the ordinance lacks design or performance standards. Staff will be
presenting language of the different of sign types and a proposed sign matrix. The current ordinance
section is included for your review.
