To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kenneth M. Baker, Sr. Director of Planning and Development Services
Subject: Work Session Item 5: Discuss the fee schedule for “Existing Commercial
Building For Sale/Leasing Signs”
Action
Requested: City Council to establish a fee for Existing Commercial Building For
Sale/Leasing Signs.
Background
Information: On October 4, 2016 the City Council amended the City's sign ordinance and as
part of the motion for approval established a sign permit fee of $100 for each
sign. On December 6, 2016 a Work Session to reconsider the fee schedule for
this sign type was discussed. At that meeting, City Council established a
temporary fee and directed staff to prepare a detailed inventory of the existing
commercial building for sale/leasing signs located in the City and present the
results of the inventory at their March meeting.
The current fee in place is as follows:
• Applicants pay a $100 flat fee for a single existing commercial building
for sale/leasing sign;
• If an applicant has two or more sign locations, they pay a $200 flat fee
no matter how many sign locations;
• Fee and permit is good for one year from the time of payment – PDS will
place a sticker on the sign once payment has been made;
• Applicant will need to re-register applicable signage with the City each
year
Fee Options: Option 1
Keep the fee as it is now currently; applicant pays $100 to register a single sign,
or pay a $200 flat fee for two or more signs. (i.e. one sign = $100, two signs =
$200, three signs = $200).
Option 2
Applicant pays a $100 fee to register each existing commercial building for
sale/leasing sign; (i.e. one sign = $100, two signs = $200, three signs = $300,
etc.).
Option 3
Establish a new fee structure for existing commercial building for sale/leasing
signs.
Once a fee option is selected, staff will place the City fee schedule on a future
City Council agenda to amend so as to include the selected fee for existing
commercial building for sale/leasing signs.
