CHURTON ST. <br /> HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. 27278 <br /> • (919) 732-13331 <br /> EXT. 279 <br /> (919) 968-4501 <br /> • Public Hearing, January 3, 1989 <br /> EDC Comments on Sign Ordinance Amendment • <br /> 1. Directional Signs. Cross-references to Section 9.6.a of <br /> the Zoning Ordinance should be made in the text and in the <br /> tables(s).• Section 9.6.a states that signs "directing and <br /> guiding traffic on private property, not exceeding 4 square <br /> feet each, and bearing no advertising matter" are not subject <br /> to the permit requirements ordinance. We understand this <br /> means that such directional signs do not count as part of the <br /> total signage of the development, and if this is the case, <br /> then a sentence should be added in the text to explain this <br /> point. <br /> • <br /> 2. Criteria Needed About Frontage or Front-footage. By <br /> linking the signage allocation to individual lots, the • <br /> ordinance encourages the divisiOn of parcels into small lots, <br /> especially along the road frontage. Criteria should be <br /> developed linking the signage allowance to frontage feet. • <br /> 3. Need for Index and Cross References. A major step in <br /> making Orange County planning procedures more "user friendly" <br /> would be the addition of a comprehensive index to the Zoning <br /> • <br /> Ordinance, plus cross-references in the text and tables <br /> throughout. Much needless confusion could thereby be <br /> avoided. <br /> • • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br />
