During this meeting the following comment(s) were made: <br />• A Board member asked if digital signs were dangerous? <br />STAFF COMMENT: Staff believes digital signs pose several issues for <br />motorists due to the frequency of the sign’s message being changed as <br />well as the incorporation of a scrolling message. We believe they <br />represent a distraction as motorists are frequently looking at the sign to <br />see the next advertisement. <br />• A Board member asked how portable signs are addressed. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Portable signage is addressed in Section 6.12.6 of <br />the UDO and are specifically banned. <br />• A Board member asked what constituted a snipe sign. <br />STAFF COMMENT: As detailed in Article 10 Definitions of the UDO a <br />snipe sign is a small sign advertising services (i.e. ‘We Buy Houses’) or <br />off-site signage advertising homes for sale. <br />December 2, 2015 – ORC. <br /> <br />b.
