This is late but there is a land use meeting today in which we will take up:

1.  The revised sign ordinance which will slightly shrink the size of allowable residential signs and updates the code on commercial signs.

2. A “demonstration” ordinance that concerns demonstration permits and the like.

3. New ordinance that aims to update our zoning code to make it easier for the City to better police derelict buildings.

Number 2 & 3 are, in my understanding, a response to changing case law and changing needs of the City.  Neither is without at least some controversy.  The sign ordinance was just outdated and kinda useless for a long long time so it’s being updated.  It was first updated last fall for residential and this update is for the commercial side.
