Title
Consider An Ordinance Adopting Amendments To Section 151 Of The Carrollton Code Of Ordinances (Sign Code).
Body
BACKGROUND:
Staff regularly proposes updates to the City’s development codes and regulations to align with current industry technologies and trends. This agenda item proposes amendments and updates to the City’s Sign Code. Over the years the Sign Code has been amended and updated many times, so this amendment also reformats the ordinance for easier review and reading by the customer.
On November 20, 2018, and February 5, 2019 staff presented recommended changes to the City Council Re-Development Sub-Committee, highlighting the key changes and discussing the re-formatting of the code.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
There are no direct financial impacts to the City to process the adoption and amendments to the Sign Code.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
The consistent review and adjustment of development codes works to shape development in the City and support the City Council’s strategic objective of maintaining and enhancing the quality, vitality and attractiveness of the community. New code language allows for the introduction of technological advancements in sign types, design trends, materials and construction methodology.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of an ordinance adopting amendments to, and reformatting of, the Sign Code.
