Bountiful officials stalled on sign ordinance change

Last updated Monday, May 20, 2013 - 11:13pm

BOUNTIFUL — City leaders have reached an impasse over a plan to lift a seven-year ban on electronic message signs.

City council members debated for more than an hour last week the merits of a proposed change in the city’s sign ordinance addressing electronic message centers. Mayor Joe Johnson and City Manager Gary Hill then attempted to break the deadlock by establishing some common ground, but no vote was taken on the proposal. The council is expected to take up the issue again in June.

The measures include enacting new guidelines for a commercial recreation transition zone, an ordinance creating a CRT zone on Lagoon’s property at 653 N. Main St., and an ordinance expanding the electronic message sign areas of the city’s existing sign ordinance to include the Main Street property.

NORTH OGDEN — The city will revisit its ordinance regarding temporary signs.

New council members have received requests from some businesses — many from Realtors — asking the city to soften the temporary sign ordinance.

Currently the city does not allow any temporary signs in the parking strip except for those advertising city events. It also does not allow temporary signs on private property, such as open house signs, unless they are put up by the property owner.

North Ogden turns attention to temporary signs

Rachel J. Trotter Standard-Examiner

Last updated Friday, February 24, 2012 - 6:22pm

NORTH OGDEN -- Use of the space between curb and sidewalk will be inspected by the city council a little more closely in coming weeks as it revisits sign regulations for both businesses and residents.

A public hearing will be held at Tuesday night's council meeting regarding the definitions of community signs, mostly temporary signs placed in the parking strip to advertise one-time community events, such as church gatherings or civic events.

The hearing comes after many in the community want longer use of the temporary advertising. City law states the signs can be there for 10 days, but the council is looking to expand that time frame to 21 days. However, businesses are prohibited from using the park strip for any signs.
