FROM :KUNITAKE FAX N0. :3229949 Jul. 13 2004 08:48AM P4 Statutes, shall not be construed as signs under this chapter. Rationale: deleting `demonstration' and `display' excludes potential sign restriction to `open air' markets and/or display of products out of doors (i.e., farmer's markets, display and demonstration by street artists, sidewalk safes, display of products out of doors); deleting `is placid on' and `or within' limits sign restrictions to the `outside' of business property doors and limits `inside' business property restrictions to sign applications to a window surface, as specified above. 2) Section 3-3 "Window sign" means any sign which is applied d~ the inside or outside of a window surface and which is readily visible to the general public from any street or osdeshisn wav. Rationale: improves user readability and application (e.g, limits window sign restrictions to the surfaces on the interior of business properties and eliminates problem with detertniiung how far into the inerior of a window surface the code may apply) Adding `or pedestrian way' improves consistency between code with proposed change for . revising/adding street, street frontage and pedestrian way definitions. 3) ~~Section 3-3 {22) "Painted window signs" means any sign painted on a window wMch Rationale: improves wnsistency between window dcfiniticros and other definitions. Siu s fications would more appropriately be incorporated within Section 3-11 (ti) and S 'on 3-58 (5), and designation a window sign as `in lieu of a wall sign' would require amendment to code related to wall and window signs. 4) Rationale: deletes unnecessary definition since term is not used within document. 5) Section 3-3 (30) `°i'emporary sign' means any sign which is not permanently installed or constructed as required under lliviaion 8 and 9, such as outdoor decorations or advertising devi beitrt,?l~eM. , , ' , R tionale: deleting `if displayed on the premises where the evem, meeting or series of m~ings will be held.' expands this definition to include all temporary signs used to prbpomote special events. Deleting the remainder improves consistency with other sign d bons and allows/does not conflict with proposed code exemptions for temporary si s `announcing new businesses' and `advertising temporary status of a property'. i Page -3- 0~/1 l/04
