Parker Code Enforcement Officer Tara Moore said some of the
issues of the sign ordinance include uneven enforcement, vehicle
and window signs, changeable copy and sign design
guidelines.
If a new sign ordinance is adopted, there will be many changes
and additions to it. Moore said any business could have a
changeable copy sign if it meets the size criteria of 10 square
feet. It could only change one time in a 24-hour period.
The town would have a new unified sign program where individual
businesses could come together and make a large sign with all the
names of the businesses on it. Vehicles with a sign advertising a
business would be required to have current tags.
A vehicle couldn’t be parked for more than 12 continuous hours,
and the vehicle’s main purpose couldn’t be for display. The sign
couldn’t be mounted on the vehicle. The logo would have to be
magnetic, painted on, or contain vinyl graphics.
Window signs could only take up only 25 percent of the window or
150-square-feet, whichever is less.
The ordinance would eliminate V-shaped signs and sign walkers,
people who twirl and spin signs in a shape of a directional arrow
advertising new residential developments.
The planning commission discussed the ordinance but didn’t
recommend action
