After reviewing this material and Affik <br /> comparing it with Article 9 in Orange County' s zoning <br /> regulations I have only one recommended change to the <br /> zoning regulations. I recommend that Section- 9 .5 be <br /> amended to include a sentence after the first sentence <br /> which states: <br /> Any sign authorized by this ordinance may <br /> . contain noncommercial copy in lieu of any <br /> other copy. <br /> It strikes me that our Sion ordinance is, for <br /> the most part, content neutral. However, the Unitedj <br /> States Supreme Court has approved the language above as <br /> demonstrating that a sign ordinance containing it did <br /> not favor commercial signs over noncommercial signs. <br /> When an opporitunity arises I would like to <br /> -review with you the _ A. <br /> status 04 the County' s Sion survey <br /> and compliancei deadline. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> re E Gledhill <br /> Amok <br /> GEG/Isg <br /> Enclosure <br />
