RE:
Temporary Use of Sandwich Board Signs on Public Right-of-Way
SUMMARY:
In the spirit of loosening up our regulations in the downtown area, staff is
seeking Council's approval to allow businesses to place sandwich board signs on the
public right-of-way with certain restrictions on a trial basis. Staff requests that
sandwich board signs be allowed on the right -of-way for a trial basis of three months
(June, July and August 2004). In connection with this, staff will develop a permit that
must be filled out by businesses, which will be free of charge, so that staff and
businesses can agree on the size and location of the sign as well as have a sign-off from
the business indemnifying the City of Aspen from any liability. Staff will also require
of applicants that signs not be left in the right-of-way overnight. In addition, these
signs would be permitted for retail and restaurant businesses only and limited to the
Commercial Core (CC) and Commercial Lodging (CL) zone districts.
The code states:
26.510.110 Signs on public right-oj-way
It shall be unlawful to erect or maintain any sign in, on, over or above any land
or right-of-way or on any property, including light posts, belonging to the City
of Aspen without the permission of the City Council. However, this section shall
not be deemed to apply to signs posted by any duly constituted public authorities
in the performance of their public duties, or to specific circumstances otherwise
provided for in this Chapter.
ApPLICANT:
City of Aspen.
PROCEDURE:
City Council may grant permission to place signs on public right-of-way as
outlined in Section 26.510.110 (see citation in italics above).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed request finding that said request is
consistent with recommendations made by our retail consultants and is in the best
interests of the downtown businesses. Staff finds the proposal will allow staff to relax
some of the regulations prior to formal code amendments to change the sign code.
Also, this temporary allowance will allow staff to make modifications to effectively and
efficiently handle a modified sign code.
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
"I move to approve Resolution fIli$ 2004 granting approval for retail and
restaurant businesses located in the Commercial Core (CC) and Commercial Lodging
(CL) zone districts to place sandwich board signs in the right-of-way adjacent to their
property with the following conditions:
1. Businesses shall apply for a free sign permit at the Community
Development Department to determine the size and location of the
proposed sandwich board sign. All other signs shall be subject to the
requirements and fees in Sectioin 26.410 and the fee schedule.
2. Signs must be removed from the right-of-way and placed inside the
business every night.
3. The approval shall be temporary and shall run from June-August 2004."
