Title

Consider An Ordinance Amending The Sign Code To Provide Standards Specific To The Josey Lane/Belt Line Road Zoning Overlay.

 

Body

BACKGROUND:

The areas within the Josey Lane/Belt Line Road Zoning Overlay were originally developed prior to current development standards for landscaping, building setbacks, signage and on-site development. Further, as roadways have been expanded and widened, portions of properties along the streets within the Overlay District have been acquired for right-of-way, reducing the available land for development or re-development, and reducing the available area to place freestanding signage.

 

The intent of this proposed amendment is to establish special sign standards for lots being redeveloped or rehabilitated within the Overlay District.

 

This is a companion item to Case No. 06-15Z1 Josey Lane/Belt Line Road Redevelopment Overlay District.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:

Staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed amendments to the Sign Code.
