<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve attached Stayton’s sign regulations. See Section 17.20.140.9-B.b for our standards for portable signs. We allow signs in the right of way in the downtown area only. Decades ago, someone drilled holes in the sidewalk – I think for
the placement of flags during holidays. Our specifically allows signs to placed in those holes. That is no something likely to be replicated in another community.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We received a request from one of our downtown businesses to change our current sign ordinance. The requested change is to allow signs to be displayed in the public right-of-way as long as they are not blocking pedestrian traffic on sidewalks.
We are looking for any additional criteria that cities may have on signs in downtown areas that we could also include in this revised code. If there is any insight your jurisdiction or organization can provide that would be greatly appreciated! <o:p></o:p></p>
