Planning Commission Regular hearing for march 14, 2013. We do not allow any out burst and please turn off any mobile phones. We left off planning code section 604, signs shall not be treated as a new sign. The item before you is an ordinance proposed by supervisor chu that would amend 604 of the planning code so it would no longer require a new sign. Currently it requires a sign permit and to the current codes of the planning codes. If its not conforming it would have to be renewed. A mere change in copy would no longer be considered a new sign, however change in new copy will still require a permit. Stuff is recommending approval with modifications to the proposed ordinance. While the department does realize how we comply, we also believe it could be interpreted too broadly. That it be changed or would require new change. Also add in the exception for a change of copy from one sign type to another for example change an identifying sign to a business sign. These i forwarded to you last
