RECOMMENDATION: Approval
Staff is recommending two amendments to the sign ordinance. Both deal with
food, gas, and lodging businesses on the Interstate.
The first amendment would reduce the spacing required between pylon signs from
two hundred feet (200') to one hundred fifty feet (150').
The second amendment would increase the maximum height allowed under
special exceptions for visibility restrictions from fifty feet (50') to sixty-five feet (65').
