2. Purpose Revised sign code adopted in December 2014 On December 17, 2015, City Council directed staff to meet with community stakeholders to critique code December 18, 2015 meeting with Orange City Alliance group and identified 4 areas for discussion:  Content Neutrality  User-Friendly Code  Process Efficiency  Implementation Standards 2

3. Content Neutrality Corporate colors Incidental/secondary signs  Freestanding directory signs  Freestanding pedestrian directory signs  Incidental directional ground signs  Incidental community identification signs  Directory wall signs  Menu board wall signs  Figurative wall signs  Historic marker signs  Service entrance wall signs  Incidental gas pump signs  Canopy and service station canopy signs 3

4. User-Friendly Code Eliminate duplicate text Utilize tables versus text Relocate like standards into one section  Height, copy area, illumination, and setbacks Combine monument/pillar Combine waiver provisions for mansard roof signs with signs above the lowest eave 4

5. User- Friendly Code Delete confusing standards  An encasement, ornamental shell or substantive frame around the sign copy area shall be provided in the same or complementary materials as the primary structure and/or the base. The width of the encasement shall be at least fifteen (15) percent of the width of the sign copy area and the height at least fifteen (15) percent of the height of the sign copy area. Subject to approval by DSD, encasement requirements may be waived for solid wood engraved (or similar approved material) signs mounted on monument-style base or mounted between two substantive base pillars, which frame both sides of the sign. The depth of the sign encasement shall be at least two-thirds (2/3) of the horizontal depth of the base of the sign (Section 9.7.5. A.6) Delete arbitrary provisions  Multi-family residential buildings may provide limited wall signage as part of a Master Sign Plan. Such signage should be scaled to serve internal users or residents of the community, not to attract the attention of passers-by (Section 9.8.1.3)  Regardless of building frontage, signage that faces residential areas shall be discouraged or shall be significantly limited in size and lighting to reduce impacts on adjacent residential uses (Section 9.8.1.4) 5

6. Process Efficiency Sign Review Permit Master Sign Plan Appeals Landscaping maintenance/replacement program Sound amplification device conditional use Administrative variance  Upon receipt of a sufficient application, the development services director shall review the request within forty five (45) calendar days. If the sign that is the subject of the administrative variance is located within forty (40) feet of another property, said property owner shall be notified via mail of the requested administrative variance and given the opportunity to provide comments on the request—comments must be received within fifteen (15) days of the date of the notice. If revisions are requested the review time shall start again upon receipt of revisions. If revisions are not submitted within thirty (30) days after being requested and/or an extension is not requested by the applicant, the application shall be deemed withdrawn and new fees shall be paid for reconsideration. Based on the application received, as well as any comments from adjacent properties, the Director shall render a decision on the request, which may be approval, denial, or approval with conditions. Such authorization, if approved, shall be issued in writing and must accompany the sign review permit submittal. The recommendation of the Development Services Director is final. If the applicant does not agree with the recommendations of the Director, he or she may process the request for relief in the form of a variance as outlined herein. If an adjacent property owner does not agree with the decision rendered by the Director, he or she may file an appeal as out lined in Chapter 3 of the Land Development Code. 6
