Summary:
Staff is proposing an LDC amendment to update Parts 3 through 4 of Chapter 64 (Signs) of the Land Development Code regarding signage and advertising. This update includes amendments that allow for the use of advertising on bikesharing infrastructure and LYMMO transit kiosks. These two amendments will provide LYNX and the City's Bikeshare program with a mechanism to generate advertising revenue to support the ongoing maintenance and operations of the different transportation systems.
The Municipal Planning Board (MPB) recommended approval of the Land Development Code amendment on December 17, 2013, and the City Council subsequently approved those MPB minutes on January 27, 2014. The City Council approved the ordinance on first reading on January 27, 2014. At the February 10, 2014 City Council meeting the agenda item was opened and continued to the February 24, 2014 City Council meeting in order for staff to further refine the various sizes of advertising signs and clarify that some of these signs may be digital within the Downtown Special Sign District.
