X1/14Zj Chairman Exhibit A :e,,40-.WA‘14, STAFF REPORT �SDi Department of Planning & Zoning — Plan Commission Case Number: ZO-19-05 (Sign Code Update) Petitioner: City of Jeffersonville, Planning & Zoning Department Requests: Zoning Ordinance Amendment Hearing Date: August 27, 2019 Proposed Changes to Article 7 and 10 of the Jeffersonville Zoning Ordinance The Planning & Zoning Department has recommended the following amendment to the City of Jeffersonville Zoning Ordinance. The update includes amendments to: 1. Article 7.17: General Sign Standards 2. Article 7.18: Temporary Sign Standards, and 3. Article 7.19: Permanent Sign Standards 4. Article 10.6: Non-Conforming Signs 5. Article 10.7: Registration of Non-Conforming Signs 6. Article 14.2: Definitions of Words Sign Code Update Update Articles 7.17 - 7.19 regulate signs within the City of Jeffersonville. This section of the j Zoning Code was last updated in April 2015. Since that time, the U.S. Supreme Court (in Reed vs. Town of Gilbert) ruled that municipalities needed to be "Content-neutral" within their sign regulations. In other words, while communities can still regulate size, location, duration, of signage, it could not regulate content. As such, several portions of our existing Sign Code would be considered unconstitutional, if challenged, in a court of law. In order to correct this issue, the Planning Departement hired Deborah Luzier from GRW Consultants to review and revise the document. While in process, Planning Staff worked with Deborah to incorporate small modifications that streamlined the document, addressed compliance issues, and improved enforcement. The following is a summary of changes: Article 7 1. Eliminated content based language (unconstitutional based on the Supreme Court Case Reed vs. Town of Gilbert) ZO-19-02 2. Made additional exemptions for street address signs without commercial messages or logos 3. Clarified language for temporary signage by type of sign 4. Created distinct temporary sign standards for R1, R2, and R3 properties that are different from Multi-family properties. 5. Allowed temporary signs in Commercial districts to be permitted twice in a calendar year— no more than 30 days at a time. (rather than just one time per year) 6. Added language for IR (River Ridge) zone district— with deference to RRDA 7. Simplified the code by combining a. NC with DC b. OC with Cl,C2 8. Removed landscape requirement at ground signs — while it's nice, it's hard to enforce (especially on smaller lots) and they tend to "go away" over time. 9. Corrected punctuation and grammar issues 10. Improved formatting to be more consistent throughout Article 10 11.Removed language regarding Non-Conforming Sign registration as the registry was discontinued following the 2015 Sign Code update, but not removed from the code. 12.Added language to better define the changes that necessitate coming into compliance with the current ordinance. Article 14 13. Updated definitions section as necessary for content neutrality, grammar, and consistency. Attachments 1. Article 7 updated language 2. Article 10 updated language 3. Article 14 updated language Attachment 1 - Article 7 Updated Language General Sign Standards (GS) 7.17 General Sign Standards (GS) GS-01: This General Sign Standards section applies to the following districts: rR1 (R2 (R3 rM2 CM3 rMP NC OC SDC HC ' SNI Il �I2) rPR� rIS� The intent of sign standards is to further the goals of the Comprehensive Plan;avoid the proliferation of signage; encourage signs to be compatible with the scale of buildings and the surrounding area;to maintain and enhance the aesthetic environment of the city; eliminate potential hazards to motorists and pedestrians resulting from sign clutter; and,to promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Jeffersonville.
