As part of the Planning Commission <br /> recommendation accepted by the City Council, the Temporary Sign Permit fee was to be lowered in the <br /> fee register from $90 to $45. <br /> Financial Impact: While the permit fee is being cut in half, businesses now have the opportunity to <br /> obtain twice as many temporary sign permits per calendar year. Assuming businesses take advantage of <br /> additional sign permits,the total fees collected should remain unchanged. <br /> Explanation: On January 24, 2012, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 809 concerning <br /> amendments to the temporary sign rules of Zoning Code Section 9-046. One component to these <br /> changes included an increase in the number of temporary sign permits that businesses can obtain during <br /> a calendar year. Under the previous rules, two permits per year were allowed. Under the amended <br /> rules, four permits per year are allowed. Unchanged is the total number of days that businesses can <br /> display temporary signs. In an effort to not further financially burden businesses with these changes, <br /> adoption of Ordinance No. 809 included lowering the Temporary Sign Permit fee from $90 to $45. <br /> Thus, the 2012 Fee Register needs to be amended as follows to reflect this change: <br /> Current Temporary Sign Permit Fee $90 <br /> Proposed Temporary Sign Permit Fee $45 <br /> Costs and Funding: Not applicable <br /> ãutkct 64vL <br /> Janice Gundlach <br /> City Planner <br />
