The Planning Commission meets twice a month for public hearings. Both the planning staff and the developer have certain requirements to prepare for public hearings. You will also be required to notice and hold a neighborhood meeting if the project involves a Planning Commission hearing. The Planning Commission can approve, disapprove or extend any decision to a later meeting. Their decision can be appealed to the City Council within a 10-day period following the final decision.
All commercial signs require a permit prior to installation.
More specific instructions are included on the permit application. The City encourages businesses to apply for a Creative Sign Permit, which allows designs beyond the possibilities of the standard sign permit and adds to the tradition of exciting signage in the City. Creative Sign Permits require Planning Commission approval, but not a public hearing.
