Lucero stated that there are two items on the Agenda for action. Mike Kornmann stated that there are many things that need to be looked into in order to help the down town get going again. Kornmann stated that signage is one of the items identified in a 1989 survey and is just one piece of the puzzle.
Signage needs to appeal to a person in an automobile as well as to a pedestrian.
With this in mind, we have looked at how other communities have addressed this. Kornmann identified some of the various sign elements that effect the monotone of a building. Kornmann also noted that the simplicity of being able to change signage with a new proprietor should also be taken into consideration. One blade sign per business would be allowed The lighting would be addressed by focusing the light down onto the sign except monument signs which could be shot up from the ground so long as the light is focused at the sign. Prohibited signs such as neon, internally lighted, painted signs directly on the building, and changes of text signs Kornmann stated that at present as far as implementation and conformity are concerned the proposed Ordinance in its current state would allow a business up to three years to comply and for any abandoned signage the Ordinance would take effect immediately.
