L 14-01: Sign Code Update
 
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take public testimony from any interested party that wishes to testify and then continue the public hearing for Planning file L 14-01: Sign Code to the May 12, 2014 Planning Commission hearing.
 
BACKGROUND:
After nearly 20 years without a significant change, Oregon City has been working to review our sign regulations to better meet the needs of Oregon City residents and businesses now and into the future. The Oregon City Municipal Code currently has limitations on the type, quantity, size, and material of signage allowed on public and private property in chapter 15.28.
 
A comprehensive public process has resulted in many community discussions and recommendations to City staff for revisions to the signage standards.  City staff has assembled amendments to chapter 15.28 of the Oregon City Municipal Code and work sessions were held on February 24, 2014 and March 24, 2014 before the Planning Commission to provide background on the public involvement process related to the sign code update and the proposed code language.  As an additional Work Session is scheduled to occur on April 28, 2014 staff recommends the Planning Commission take public testimony from any interested party that wishes to testify and then continue the public hearing for Planning file L 14-01: Sign Code Update to the May 12, 2014 Planning Commission hearing.
