| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| Please place the above item on the May 15, 2024 City Commission meeting agenda as a referral to the June 10, 2024 Land Use and Sustainability Committee (“LUSC”) meeting.
I would like the LUSC to consider authorizing limited directional signage on Lincoln Road, to advise the public regarding retail and restaurant businesses located on side streets off of Lincoln Road, which receive less pedestrian traffic. Any signs would need to meet strict size and design criteria, in recognition of the historic character of Lincoln Road and to limit visual pollution. As part of this item, I would like the Administration and City Attorney’s Office to address whether any Code amendments would be necessary to permit such signage in the Lincoln Road right-of-way. |
