signs that are used for driveway signage will not be able to get additional drive-through signage. Section 1163.06 states that pole signs are still prohibited but driveway and location signs are permitted to be on 18 -inch poles. Section 1162.08 clarified the difference between building permit and zoning approval. Graphics were added, specifically about sign measurements. If there is a separation of two or feet between word areas, each area would be calculated separately. Fagade width is measured based on what can be viewed when perpendicular from it. The primary fagade faces the street or is the facade with the customer entrances. A secondary faVade is along another street and can be permitted signage. Each unit in a multi -unit building would have their own proportion of signage based on the amount of fagade they have. There is no maximum number for building signs, just the maximum area of signage. Operators can determine how they want to split up the signage. The window signage ratio was increased from 25% to 33%. Electronic message centers will be allowed with restrictions. For any property, except in a historic district or landmarked property, a ground sign with up to 50% electronic signage is permitted. The message can change once per 24 hour period and have one color on a dark background. The drive-through facility signs can be digital and if they are attached to the building they are counted as a building sign. Driveway signs are permitted at the entrance of limited access driveways and are usually directional in nature. Temporary banner, yard and window signs will be permitted. Temporary signs cannot be illuminated, permanent or installed in the right-of-way. Other than the size and height, the temporary signage quantity is not limited. Most people tend to self -regulate and put temporary signs up and remove them when needed. Free speech is not limited so opinion signage needs to be permitted year-round. Commercial temporary signage is limited to two signs per year for 30 days. Temporary banners will be permitted to cover old permanent signs when a new business is going in. Nonconforming temporary signs in use for more than a year, lose their nonconforming status since there should be an end -date for them. Mr. Malone asked about Section 1163.11(b)(1) compared to the next section. Ms. Moeller explained that (b)(1) is for businesses abutting residential lots. If there is a 24-hour business then the sign would stay on, but if a business is closed overnight, the sign would need to be turned off. Mr. Grusenmeyer said the amount of light needed to display a sign is less during the night than during the day. Ms. Moeller explained that canopy signs can attach to the top of the building but wall signs are built into the fagade, therefore having different zoning requirements. An email was received from Mr. Burns with comments, which will be addressed by Ms. Lieber directly. ADJOURNMENT With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:53 p.m. Greg Alone, Chair Nicole Rambo -Ackerman, Administrative Assistant Approved
