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 sales, display of products out of doors); deleting `is placed 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 a~ lp ied directly to the inside or outside of a window surface and which is readily visible to the general public from any street or pedestrian way. Rationale: improves user readability and application (e.g, limits window sign restrictions to the surfaces on the interior of business properties and ehminates problem with determining how far into the interior of a window surface the code may apply.) Adding `or pedestrian way' improves consistency between code with proposed change for revising/adding street, street fi•ontage and pedestrian way definitions. 3) Section 3-3 (22) "Painted window signs" means any sign painted on a window svlhirh Rationale: improves consistency between window definitions and other definitions. Size specifications would more appropriately be incorporated within Section 3-11 (6) and Section 3-58 (5), and designation a window sign as `in lieu of a wall sign' would reduire amendment to code related to wall and window signs. 4) - m'~ Rationale: deletes unnecessary definition since term is not used within document. 5) Section 3-3 (30) "Temporary sign' means any sign which is not permanently installed or constructed as required under Division S and 9, such as outdoor decorations or advertising device , ifdisplay ed , ~6 , , Rationale: deleting `if displayed on the premises where the event, meeting or series of meetings will be held.' expands this definition to include all temporary signs used to promote special events. Deleting the remainder improves consistency with other sign definitions and allows/does not conflict with proposed code exemptions for temporary signs `announcing new businesses' and `advertising temporary status of a property'.
