Individual letters, symbols and numbers shall not be <br />less than 8” in height. <br /> <br />(i) Color: Dynamic displays shall be comprised of two <br />colors. One color shall be used for a solid background and <br />the second color shall be used for letters, symbols and <br />numbers. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Action Requested: Staff is looking for direction from the Planning <br />Commission on how to resolve this issue. <br />
