I fully endorse the plans to hold this event in a modified fashion again this year. Municipal Code Chapter 693 outlines the requirements for signs being used to advertise charitable, non-profit and community events, and does not permit variance or appeal to the criteria which regulate temporary signage. I am requesting temporary signs to promote this event be permitted, conditionally. The approval conditions ensure that there is a responsive procedure to address any signs which have generated a complaint, and ensure all signs are maintained and removed to the satisfaction of City Staff.
