Case Notes
− +Staff Recommendation
APPROVE the amendmentsBACKGROUND:
This past summer, the Knoxville City Council approved a resolution establishing a moratorium on the issuance of permits for electronic message centers, or boards, with an effective date of August 17, 2004. The moratorium was in response to concerns over the permitting of several new signs in several commercial areas. City Council adopted the moratorium so that the full impact of these signs on the community could be examined. As a part of this process, an eighteen-member panel was created to compile and review information, including the types of controls that other communities have used to regulate these devices. Included on the panel were City Council representatives, City administrative and MPC staff, local business persons, sign contractors, and interested citizens. The committee met on several occasions during the past two months, and the attached amendments are the result of the committee's deliberations.
