Staff Comments
The existing signs under the building canopy have stayed under the maximum of 9 square feet, as suggested by the guidelines. The building canopy extends over the entire width of the sidewalk limiting the location of signs vertically on the building. Being that the existing signs are modest in size and that the large canopy creates a fairly unique situation downtown, staff recommends that any new hanging sign under this building canopy should also be consistent with the guidelines and be proportional to the existing signs.
