That Report PD-78-84 be received ; and * 2. That the attached By-law, being a By-law to amend By-law 76 as amended, be approved. I I REPORT NO. : PD-78-84 Page 2 BACKGROUND: The Sign By-law 76-25 in Section 8(2)(b) (v) and 8(2) (b) (vi ) respectively, Commercial Zone permits ground Identification Signs having a sign area of 30 square feet or 0.1% of the lot area, whichever is the greater, and wall Identification Signs, 30 square feet or 10% of the area of the wall , whichever is greater. At present, the Sign By-law has had ten (10) "Special Conditions", requests for exemption from the By-law. Most of these deal with sign area. i COMMENTS: Many of the applications for sign permits are for signs of a greater area than permitted in the By-law. The maximum area permitted by the "Special Conditions" has been 40 square feet. This figure seems acceptable to both the applicant and the Town. Staff recently received two (2) further requests for signs larger than those permitted. In review of these requests, it would therefore seem appropriate to amend the By-law to increase the area from 30 square feet to 40 square feet. It is recommended that the attached amending By-law be approved and forwarded to Council . ,� Respectf 'tted, T.T. Edwards, M.C. I.P. Director of Planning HGW*TTE*jip *Attach.
