COMM'UM T' City a` <br /> GIMcyV� Pegriot <br /> INSTITUTE Ues <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> Application: Ordinance Amendment to allow Digital Signs <br /> Applicant: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Agenda Item:4(a) <br /> Background Information: The Staff has prepared draft language to clarify the city's <br /> approach to digital signs. Two alternatives have been prepared. The first would allow <br /> digital signs that are static in nature. We attempt to define static as being a sign that <br /> changes message less than once per hour. We chose the hour interval, as opposed to the <br /> 24-hour interval as earlier suggested, as it seems more measurable and practical and <br /> would have the same aesthetic impact. <br /> A second approach, labeled Alternative 2, would expressly prohibit all digital signs. The <br /> language provided is more clear than that already included in the Code. <br /> Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can recommend that <br /> the City Council approve the amendment. The Planning Commission can also choose to <br /> not recommend the amendment or the discussion can be tabled. This amendment is <br /> City-initiated so we are not compelled to act. <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 4(a)-1 <br /> May 20,2010 <br />
