MOTION
Moved by Council Member _________________ seconded by Council Member ______________________, that the Council hereby initiates amendments to Chapter
30.33 (Signs) of the Zoning Code to allow animated (digital) signs as a Pilot Program (limited duration of 10 years or less unless extended) in the Pilot Program Area, as further described in the June 24, 2025 staff report from the Director of Community Development. In the course of preparing such amendments, staff is directed to study and make recommendations related to time, place and manner regulations that would mitigate any negative secondary impacts of allowance of digital signs in the Pilot Program Area, such as:
• Dimmable/adjustable lighting;
• Operating hours (not before 7:00 am and off after 12:00 am); • Not located directly opposite (facing) or adjacent to a residential property; • No flashing graphics or words;
• Signage cannot rotate more frequently than 8 seconds; • Only facing or oriented towards arterial streets and not residential uses; and • Location cannot obstruct visibility from the right-of-way and subject to review by Public Works.
