Item #16

Based upon the recent Council direction that Town Center Signage also applies to Mixed Use Overlay Districts, Staff proposes this amendment to explicitly state that many of the same opportunities for more diverse signage that is available within the Town Center District are also available within Mixed Use Overlay Districts.

9.1.2     Applicability and Effect

(C)        Flexibility within the Town Center, Mixed Use Overlay Districts, National Register Historic Districts, and Certain Developments

Notwithstanding the requirements of this chapter, the Town recognizes the importance and desirability of having signage regulations which are somewhat more flexible in special areas of interest and/or higher densities like the Town Center, Mixed Use Overlay Districts, National Register Historic Districts or traditional neighborhood developments as described in Section 8.5. Certain exemptions and modifications to the general signage requirements are provided within Section 9.6 of this chapter for the express purpose of recognizing the need for flexible signage regulations in these special areas.
