Section 3
�l8'' S?�.
It is the intent of the Council in enacting this ordinance to confirm and clarify the original intent
of the Council embodied in Council File 97-1568.
First, the Council intended that an appiication for a special district sign plan, filed both with the
City Council and the Airector of the Department of Pianning and Economic Development, makes
any sign permit applied for and issued after the filing of the appiication for a special district sign
plan a"conditional" permit subject to the conditions set forth in Section II, until either the
prohibitions described become efFective after the passage of 30 days or the Council adopts a
resolution as provided therein, whichever is later.
Second, without the clarification, Council File 97-1568, as passed, had the unintended and
unreasonable result of allowing sign companies to receive sign pernuts unencumbered by the
conditions contemplated by the Council in Section II by, upon receiving nofice of an application
for a special district sign plan, submitting sign permit applications but waiting until the 30�` day
after the date of applicarion to give notice of an objection to the application. The Council did not
intend a result which would defeat the underlying purpose of the ordinance which was intended
to favor the pubiic interest in regulating advertising signs.
Third, without the clarificarion, Council File 97-1568, as passed, could have required district
councils applying for special district sign plans to file an objection to their own application in
order to avail themselves to the protections contemplated in the ordinance. The Council did not
intend a result which would be absurd.
Section 4
Pending the effective date of this amending ordinance, no permit or license for the establishment
of a new advertising sign or the modification of an existing advertising sign shall be issued or
approved by the City, its officers, employees, agents or commissions until that application for a
Special District Sign Plan has been adopted or rejected by the Council and the prohibitions
contained in Section II of Council File No. 97-1568 shall be enforced in a manner consistent with
the amendments and intent of the Council as stated herein and in an accompanying resolufion.
