I left all the existing conditions and limitation (no advertising and commercial logos) which have successfully protected us from a billboard company trying to compare its commercial message billboards with our similarly sized banners. The limitations in this section are very necessary and should not be weakened. You might want to get with Terry Gulley or Chris Brown about possible locations on City right-of-way that would not impede sidewalk traffic. Please also be sensitive to near by property owners who might object to a banner installed in front of their business, office or home. The Spring Street intersection might be the best location, but I will leave that up to you and the experts. ORDINANCE NO.
