City Council heard public comments Tuesday, March 23, on the issue of electronic display signs (monument style).  Two speakers asked that the City permit such signs and asked for an ordinance to be adopted which defines the parameters for such signs.  A number of speakers asked that Council concur with the City Manager, Jim Spore, who opposes electronic display signs.  Grace Moran, from the Shore Drive Community Coalition, spoke to the impact that such an ordinance would have on a mixed use area such as the Shore Drive Corridor.  She stated that if the City did not follow the recommendation of the City Manager, that Council should adopt the more stringent limitations of the Alternate version proposed by the Planning Commission and recommendations made by the Council subcommittee tasked with the wording of the ordinance.

City Council plans to vote on the issue March 30.
