City Still Looking At Sign Rules
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Warsaw Plan Commission meets today at 7 p.m. and the board will continue its discussion regarding off-site signage.
A temporary moratorium was set in May while recommendations were made by task force members Jim Gast, Trish Brown, Bill Rhoades, city planner Jeff Noffsinger and assistant city planner Kristy Mehlburg.
There are 69 off-premise signs, billboards or outdoor advertising signs throughout the city. In 1998, a zoning ordinance removed off-premise signs from the books.
The ordinance refers to all signs on- or off-premise as freestanding signs. Height, size and frequency of all signs are regulated. Loopholes in the ordinance have allowed several signs to be erected.
Since May, the task force has contacted business owners, the chamber of commerce and others for their input on signage and its restrictions.
The commission also will review two requests from Petro Family LLC to subdivide 26.98 acres into 5 lots and to rezone the property from C-3/Arterial commerical to Commerical PUD District. The property is at the 2700 and 2800 block of North Detroit Street.
Commisisoners also will review the Pheasant Ridge subdivison request for final plat approval.
A report will be given about the GIS zoning map.
Commissioners are Joe Thallemer, Jeff Grose, Jim Gast, Dewey Lawshe, Richard Keevan, Lacy Francis and Alan Clingman. Meetings are held in council chambers in city hall. [[In-content Ad]]
