(ii) provide municipal policy for the construction, installation and" maintenance
of off-site directional tourism signs within municipal road allowances; and
(iii) provide some housekeeping amendments to the sign by-law and the fee
structure by-law.
2. BACKGROUND
2.1 The Ontario Government determined that off-site directional tourism signage along
the province's highways shall be consistent in their purpose, appearance and
location.
2.2 A contract was tendered out and Canadian TODS (Tourism Oriented Directional
Signing) Limited is the private company which obtained the contract with the
Province of Ontario to provide tourism oriented directional signing on non-toll
provincial highways. The contract is for a ten year term in which Canadian TODS
has the exclusive right to approve, manufacture, install and maintain all tourism
signing on Ministry highways. The contract with the Ministry does not extend to
providing signage along municipal and regional roads. In other. words Canadian
TODS, the Municipality or another private company may install and maintain
signage on municipal and regional roads. Canadian Tourism Oriented Directional
Signing Limited (TODS) requested to erect off-site directional signage in
Clarington's road allowances for tourist destinations. This is discussed in detail in
Section 3 of this Report.
2.3 An off-site directional tourism sign is one which informs the motorist of services,
facilities or destinations which may be essential or of interest to the driving public.
Common examples of tourism services, facilities or destinations are. found in
Attachment No. t of this report.

REPORT NO.: PD-73-98

2.4 The Municipality does not have a policy for locating off-site directional tourism
signs within our road allowances. Policy is needed to provide design and
installation criteria for these signs.
2.5 Staff are also proposing some housekeeping amendments. These amendments
include redefining a wall sign, providing a fee for amending the sign by-law, and
including a fee for temporary signs within the Planning Departments Fee Schedule.
By-law. These items are addressed in Section 7 of this report.
3. TODS PROPOSAL
3.1 On Thursday, December 4~', 1997, Staff met with a representative of Canadian
TODS to discuss for the first time, this new provincial initiative. TODS proposed to
erect and maintain the required off-site directional signs for tourist destinations
along municipal roads. TODS are representing a few tourist destinations within
Clarington. These operators have also contacted the Municipality regarding
establishing the required off-site directional signs.
3.2 Staff reviewed the proposal from Canadian TODS Limited to enter into a 10 year
agreement where Canadian TODS would market, build, install and maintain
tourism signs on roadways under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Clarington.
Staff have determined, based on the following reasons, that the Municipality will
assume the responsibility of erecting and maintaining the off-site tourism directional
signs. TODS will continue to provide signage along Highway 401 and Highway
35/115.
i) The Municipality wishes to administer, control, install and maintain all
signage within our road allowances. It is not in the best interest of the
Municipality to have a contract with a private business to erect and maintain
these signs.

ii) The Region of Durham decided in March 1998 that they would install and
maintain rather than TODS, the off-site directional tourism signs within
regional road allowances. The Municipality's proposed signage policy
(Attachment No. 2) is similar to that of the Regions, providing consistent
signage on regional and local roads.
iii) The proposed municipal policy will operate in a similar manner to that of the
Region's, recovering installations and maintenance costs through .the
application fee and annual maintenance fee. Regional policy has been
implemented and is reflected in signage installed on Baseline Road in
Bowmanville for the Darlington Marina.
iv) TODS proposes to install different sized signage on rural and urban roads.
Clarington have proposed one size of sign, regardless of whether the sign is
to be located on an urban or rural road, which would provide. greater
consistency. This is similar to Regional policy.
v) All aspects of the sign specification, installation and maintenance would be
controlled by the Municipality under strict guidelines, eliminating the current
variety of shape, size, colour and symbolism.
vi) Signs would be grouped on sign post assemblies regardless of type of tourism
operation, allowing the Municipality to better control the location and
quantity of signing, while highlighting the tourism destination, as required.
vii) The policy will limit the location of signage to the most direct route(s) from
major highways to the subject site. Signs will only be approved at
intersections where changes in direction are required. No "reassurance"
signage placed randomly along a route will be permitted. signage will be for
directional purposes only and not advertising.
viii) Operators requesting signage must agree to remove any existing sub-standard
signage before new signs are approved. Existing signage approved before
this policy that requires maintenance in the future will not be replaced in
kind.
- 62b

REPORT NO.: PD-73-98

ix) There is no financial burden to the taxpayers of the Municipality. All costs
associated with the manufacture, installation and maintenance of the signs
will be offset by the annual maintenance agreement between the
Municipality and the tourist operator,
x) The Municipality can retain the right to limit, relocate or remove any sign
that becomes a potential safety hazard in the operation of the roadway.
3.7 Instead of the tourist operators contacting TODS to obtain the appropriate approvals
for signage along Clarington's roads, they will contact the Municipality directly.
Dealing directly with the Municipality should result in a faster turn around with
respect to sign approval and installation.
4. MUNICIPAL POLICY FOR OFF-SITE DIRECTIONAL TOURISM SICNAGE
4.1 The purpose of the policy is to provide for the. orderly implementation of a signage
system on municipal roads. These signs will support the local tourism industry by
assisting the public through the erection of off-site directional tourism signs at
strategic locations. The policy attempts to balance the concerns of the industry to
provide modern, effective signing while maintaining the municipal responsibilities
for traffic management, roadside safety, aesthetics and maintenance of public right-
of-ways.
4.2 The policy contained in Attachment No. 2 was developed through consultation with
the Region of Durham and is similar to the direction being adopted elsewhere. In
an effort to control sign proliferation, the policy governs installation criteria,
standardized sign colour and symbols, and regulates the location and quantity of
signs. These requirements are essential to protect the effectiveness of regulatory
and warning signs, sight lines and visibility of other traffic control devices required
to safely operate the road system.

4.3 It should be noted, recent court decisions in other jurisdictions have ruled that road
authorities do not have the right to totally restrict this type of signage on public road
allowances. The road authority does however have the right to control and limit the
quantity of signage on its road allowances. Staff feel this policy falls within the
courts impression of'limits' and represents a fair compromise.
5. DETAILS Of SIGNAGE
5.1 Location of Signage
a. Signage within a Road Allowance
To ensure visibility to the motoring public, off-site directional tourism signs
shall be located within the road allowance. Within the recently adopted
Sign By-law 97-157, this type of signage is not permitted within the road
allowance. An amendment is required to the Sign By-law to allow off-site
directional tourism signage to be permitted within the road allowance.
b. Signage at Intersections
Off-site directional tourism signs shall be located only at those intersections
whereby a change in direction is required to reach a tourist destination. If
there are a number of attractions needing signage at one location, the
signage will be "stacked" on a single assembly structure.
5.2 Appearance of Signage
Muriicipal Staff propose that the maximum size of an off-site directional tourism
sign shall be 0.3 m (1 ft) by 1.2 m (3.75 ft)(0.36 square metres / 3.9 square feet).
This size is large enough to ensure visibility to the motoring public. It is noted that
the Region of Durham recently adopted this as their sign size.
The signs will have white lettering or symbols on a blue background.

5.3 Number of Signs
The number of signs for any tourist destination will be determined by the location of
the establishment. Signage will only be permitted:.
• on the most direct route to the tourist attraction; and
• where a change in direction is required.
As such, the number of signs permitted is a factor which cannot be predetermined.
Staff recommend that there be no limit on the number of off-site directional tourism
signs permitted.
6. FEE STRUCTURE FOR TOURISM SIGNS
6.1 There are 3 basic fees which have to be paid for each sign. They are:
i) the Sign Permit Application Fee;
ii) the Installation Fee; and
iii) the Annual Maintenance Fee.
6.2 Sign Permit Application fee
Sign By-law 97-157 requires a sign permit fee of $25.00 per permanent sign. A
maximum fee of $100.00 is required for 4 or more signs. This fee is paid upon
application for a sign permit.
6.3 Installation Fee
The estimated cost for a typical sign installation is $330.00 based on sign
manufacturing, installation and administration. This will cover the total installation
cost, ensuring no financial burden to the taxpayer. This fee is required to be paid
upon approval of the sign permit.

6.4 Annual Maintenance Fee
The proposed annual maintenance fee of $100.00 per sign is consistent with the
annual maintenance fee charged by the Region of Durham.
7. HOUSEKEEPING -FEE SCHEDULE AMENDMENTS
7.1 Fee for Amending Sign By-law
7.1.1 Currently, there exists no provision for making application to amend the Sign By-
law or to tolled an application fee to amend the Sign By-law. A request to amend
the Sign By-law will require Staff to complete an investigation and subsequently
prepare a report to Committee and Council.
7.1.2 By-law 76-25, being the Municipality's previous Sign By-law, did not include an
amending fee. Staff contacted a number of local municipalities in an effort to
determine by an informal survey what other municipalities charge for amending
their Sign By-laws. The results are listed below.
MUNICIPALITY FEE
City of Oshawa $50.00
Town of Whitby minor amendment- $150.00
major amendment - $900.00.
Town of Ajax no fee
Town of Port Hoe no fee
Town of Pickerin no fee
The City of Oshawa just reduced the amendment fee from $150.00 to $50.00. The
Town of Ajax recently adopted their new Sign By-law and did not incorporate an
amending fee.
7.1.3 By-law 96-032 is the Fee Schedule By-law for the Municipality of Clarington
Planning Department. The Sign By-law amendment application fee should be
- 630
~~ i
x
REPORT NO.: PD-73-98
PAGE 9
included within the Fee Schedule By-law. Staff recommend that the fee to amend
the Sign By-law be $50.00 based on the following:
• although the previous by-law did not require a fee for amending the by-law, a
fee assists in offsetting the administrative process;
• the permit fee for a permanent sign is $25.00, thus keeping the cost under
$100.00 for a single sign if an amendment to the by-law is needed; and
• this is comparable to those municipalities which charge a fee to amend the Sign
By-law
7.2 Fee for Temporary Signage
In addition, Staff recommend that By-law 96-032 with respect to fee structure be
amended to include a sign permit fee for a temporary sign. The fee for a temporary
sign is $10.00 which is detailed in the current Sign By-law 97-157 (Section 5.6 of
the by-law).
7.3 Amend the Definition of Wall Sign
There is a need to clarify the definition of a "wall sign" as contained in the current
Sign By-law so that it accurately reflects that a wall sign does not go beyond the
limits of the wall upon which it is displayed.
8. STAFF COMMENTS
8.1 Attachment No. 1 provides a list of tourism facilities/services eligible for signs under
this policy. This list represents approximately 95°h of the operations covered by the
Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Specific details on each type
of operation are covered in the MUTCD Tourism section.
8.2 Attachment No. 7 provides a draft of the agreement that would be entered into with
the tourism operator ensuring that the business qualifies as a tourism destination.

8.3 It is important to note that the Municipality will not permit excessive signage which
could be construed as advertising.
8.4 The Municipality will regulate and monitor the installation of off-site directional
tourism signs with emphasis placed on safety as the first and foremost criteria. In no
way will signage be permitted which may compromise the safe operation of a
roadway.
8.5 The Municipality must amend the Sign By-law in order to permit the erection of off-
site directional tourism signs within the municipal road allowance. The proposed
amendment includes a definition and an addition to Section 3 -General Provisions
to permit these signs to locate in the road allowance.
8.6 Applications for off-site directional tourism signs will be reviewed jointly by the
Public Works Department and the Planning Department.
8.7 A number of housekeeping amendments were included within the
recommendations of this report. These amendments provide application fees for
sign by-law amendments and includes the prescribed application fee for temporary
signs on the Planning Department Fee Schedule By-law. In addition the definition
of "wall sign" was amended to clarify the locational criteria for installation.
9. CONCLUSION
9.1 It is important for motorists to get clear, concise messages that will not lead to any
hesitation in the decision making process. The provincial tourism signing
installation criteria has the advantage of providing seamless tourism signing across
the Municipality that delivers consistent messages with operations in other areas
throughout the province.

9.2 The policy intends to recover expenses and may generate minimal revenue in the
form of an annual user fee, while providing the Tourism Operator with an
inexpensive form of highly visible off-site directional signing to their operations. It
also provides approved signage, uniformly across the Municipality and the Region
which complies with the recent changes to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control
Devices (MUTCD), ensuring a safe effective system is maintained.
9.3 It is Staff's recommendation that By-law No. 96-032 be amended as contained in
Attachment No. 3 to include an application fee for amendment to the sign by-law
and a fee for a temporary sign.
9.4 Staff recommend that By-law No. 97-157 be amended as contained in Attachment
No. 4 to allow off-site directional tourism signs to locate in the road allowance.

Attachment No. 2
MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON
OFF-SITE DIRECTIONAL TOURISM SIGNAGE POLICY
1. PURPOSE
1.1 The purpose of this policy is to define the use, design and installation criteria for off-
site directional tourism signs while preserving existing and future signage used for
the safety, control and direction to the motorist.
2. DEFINITION
2.1 Off-Site Directional Tourism Signs are signs which inform the motorist of services,
recreational facilities, tourist attractions, scenic points of interest and other such
services/facilities as may be essential or of interest to the driving public.
3. ELIGIBILITY

following General Criteria which is further detailed in the General and Specific
Criteria established by the Province:
• The operation must serve transient customers and be open to the general
public.
• The operation must .comply with all applicable federal, provincial and
municipal legislation
The operation must be accessible by a road open to public traffic.
• The operation must be open to the public as specified in the Provincially
adopted Specific Criteria for that type of operation.
• The operation must have a reception structure -such as controlled gate,
staffed reception and orientation point, or permanent interpretation panels or
displays.
• The. operation must advertise its location, season and hours, contact
information, and facilities either in tourism publications, or in publicity
material regularly distributed through Ontario Regional Tourist Information
Centres.
3.2 It is the responsibility of the Province and/or their agent to advise the Municipality
in writing, if a tourist destination, facility or service meets the criteria established.
4. DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Off-Site Directional Tourism signs shall convey their message by the appropriate
legend or symbol, colour and shape. Wherever possible, the message shall
conform to the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Tourism
signing convention. All signs shall have a blue background with a white legend or
symbol and border. All signs shall be made of retro-reflective sheeting materials to
- b36
f~
conform to ASTM D9456-90 or subsequent revisions as "Engineering Grade" to
show the same colour and shape by night or day.
4.2 The name of the business, establishment or facility shall be supplied by the tourism
operator. Names are to be displayed as fully as possible within the limitations of
sign size.: and font requirements. Priority is to be given to venue name over its
descriptive category (e.g. "Cedar Valley' is the most important element of "Cedar
Valley Trailer Resort"). Where necessary, common abbreviations or short forms
may be used. Installation of non-standard sign size or additional panels is not
permitted.
4.3 All Off-Site Directional Tourism Signs shall be no larger than 30 cm by 120 cm
(0.36 square metres).
4.4 The Municipality reserves the right to group signs on support assemblies at its sole
discretion. Wherever possible, signs shall be erected in groups of four on a single
support assembly.
4.5 Rural signs shall be spaced at approximately 100 m intervals in advance of
intersections where spacing permits. They will be located on the right-hand side of
the roadway and must not interfere with existing or future roadway operating signs.
Similarly, urban signs shall be installed on the right-hand side where spacing
permits. Distance between signs may be reduced due to lower operation speeds.
At the discretion of the Director of Public Works, individual icons may be used in
highly congested areas.
5. LOCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS
5.1 This policy only applies to signs installed within the Municipal right-of-way and
includes all existing municipal roads and any future roads assumed or downloaded
to the Municipality. In the case of roads being assumed by the Municipality, any
existing agreement(s) between the previous road authority. and an outside sign
contractor shall be terminated at no cost to the Municipality.
5.2 Facilities will be signed only where there exists space for signs along a route that
will lead motoring tourists to their destination in a reasonably direct manner
5.3 In general, signs will be permitted at the closest intersection where changes in
direction are required. Reassurance route markers at non-intersection locations will
not be permitted.
5.4 These signs must not interfere with or detract from other traffic control devices or
signing. Priority locations will always be entitled to regulatory, warning and
operational control signs used by the road authority.
637
,~
5.5 Any tourism operations fronting onto municipal roadways that are clearly visible to
the approaching motorist, or where adequate on-site signage exists, or could be

is determined by the Municipality that. there are existing operational problems
created by the tourism facility, the applicant will be responsible to correct, at their
expense, such problems as a condition of the sign(s) installation. The operational

condition of new approvals.
6.7 If the tourism operation is on another Area Municipality or Regional Road, that
Authority's policy will apply to their roads and they must agree to allow signs on
their roads to complete the sequence of signs all the way to the site. The applicant
should generally initiate requests at the appropriate municipal level.

Dear Mr. Baker,

The Province of Ontario has introduced a new Tourism FTghway Signing System, Canadian
TODS Limited is the company chosen by the Province to market, build, install and maintain
tourism signs on provincial highways.
Members of Ontario's tourism industry have waited many years for this type of system. It has
been planned and designed with industry participation, and with the needs of both tourism
operators and their customers in mind. It is intended to ensure that members of the traveling
public aze both well-informed and safe as they travel our roads. The sins are attractive and will
be placed in an organized fashion to provide the necessary information without clutte
roads with signs. ------
One of the aspects of the new policy is the intent to provide a complete and consistent
way-Ending system to each destination. So where a tourism operator is in a location where they
will require supplementary signs on Municipal roads, Canadian TODS Limited is required to
secure the approval from each Road Authority in order to place these signs.
The Region of Durham is still in the process of determining how they will handle the
implementation of the new tourism sign policy on Regional Roads. We do require placement of
some signs on some Municipality of Clarington roads and please consider this our application for
permission to do so at the locations identified by the enclosed site plans. I have also enclosed the
panel layouts of the intersections that we require signs at in order to complete the path to the
destinations from their signs on the 401.

The Province of Ontario has introduced a new Tourism Highway Signing System. Canadian

tourism signs on provincial highways.
Members of Ontario's tourism industry have waited many years for this type of system. It has
been planned attd designed with itiduslry participatipn, and with the needs ofboth tourism
operators and their customers in mind. [t is intended to ensure that members of the traveling
public are hnth well-informed and safe as they travel our roads. The signs arc attractive and will
be placed in an organized fashion to provide the necessary information without cluttering the
roads with signs.
One of the aspects of the new policy is the intent to provide a complete and consistent
way-finding system to each destination. So where a tourism operator is in a location where they
will require supplementary sigrts on Municipal roads, Canadian TORS Limited is required to
secure the approval from each Road Authority in order to place these signs.
As advised by Heather Brooks, T would like to forYnally request an ammrdrnenl to your sign
oy-iaw pcrnnumg the use of our trailblazers for tounst destinations wrthin the i~lumcipality of
Clarington. Canadian TODS Lirnited is willing to commit. to our smallest sign design to he used
on Clarington Roads, since the size of the sign was of some concern to Ms. Brooks (Please sec

designated as tourism nodes.

The standard agreement between Canadian TODS Limited and all municipalities is to pay a pennit
fee of $150.00 per intersection we. require to place a sign at. Since we would like to keep our
fees standard across the province and the Municipality of Clarington's permit fee is only $25.00 I
would like to request that you waive any fees for amending the sign by-law. The by-law
amendment fee is nol something we have been required to pay in any other municipality and as
such, we would not be prepared to absorb that cost.
Ms. Brooks also has a copy of our standard municipal agreement recommended by the nntario
Good Roads Association Canadian TORS Limited would he prepared to include an) additional
~ clauses you feel are necessary.
Ifypu have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact nte.
