REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JUNE 8,
1981.
REPORT NO.: P-109--81
SUBJECT: Interpretation of Sign By-law 76-25
Definition of "Directional Signs"
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully submitted that this Report be received
for information.
BACKGROUND:
At the Planning and Development Committee Meeting of May 25,
1981, Committee passed the following resolution:
PD-206-81
"That the Planning Director report on the interpretation
of directional signs in by-law 76-25."
i
COMMENT:
Staff have reviewed Section 18 (a) page 4 of the consolidated
Sign By-law and confirm the interpretation of that section offered by
the Director of Planning, at the May 25, 1981 Committee meeting. To
C5/
- 2 -
reiterate, a directional sign means "a ground sign or wall sign which
is located on a structure or lot for the purpose of indicating an en-
trance, exit, a department or an area". The sign is to be located on
the property(building and/or lands) to which it pertains.
If members of the Committee feel that this clause is too restrictive,
then it would be appropriate to request staff to review this provision and
to prepare a suitable amendment to include standards for "off-site" di-
rectional signs. As there may be other amendments to the Sign By-law
arising from the enforcement of the "5 year" conformity clause in By-law
76-25, staff feel it would be appropriate to undertake future possible
amendments at one time.
