At its
September meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to the sign ordinance
to establish new provisions for special signage for a new business grand
opening or for the re-opening of an existing business.
As approved, any and all signage and
devices will be allowed for a period of 30 consecutive days surrounding a
business opening or re-opening. For purposes
of this provision, a "re-opening" means the construction of a
significant real property improvement as evidenced by the issuance of a
building permit.
The sign amendment was presented with the
goal of assisting new business and business re-openings in creating customer
awareness of their presence with a special sign package.
And to make it even better - there is no
permit fee.
