Ordinance Concerning Dynamic Display Signs Dan Licht presented an ordinance amending Titles 3 and 11 of the City Code concerning dynamic display signs. The amendment was requested by the owner of Schneiderman's Furniture located at 16751 Kenyon Avenue, who proposes to install a freestanding sign with electronic changeable graphic display. The property owner requests an ordinance amendment to allow the rate of change on the sign to be once every 24 hours. Mr. Licht explained that the ordinance will allow larger and taller dynamic display/changeable copy signs for single occupancy buildings with a gross floor area of 100,000 square feet or larger on commercially zoned property in the freeway corridor district. He stated there are five other commercial businesses in the freeway corridor larger than 100,000 square feet that would be allowed a larger/taller dynamic display sign like the proposed Schneiderman's Furniture sign. The new sign provisions would also apply to Holiday Inn. Council Member Hellier stated he does not support the ordinance amendment. However, he felt that if it is adopted, the gross floor area should be reduced to 80,000 square feet to accommodate Gander Mountain.
