DISCUSS GRAPEVINE CODE OF ORDINANCES, APPENDIX D, COMPREHENSIVE ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 82-73, AS AMENDED, SECTION 60 SIGN REGULATIONS Acting Development Services Director Scott Williams reviewed possible amendments to the Grapevine Code of Ordinances, Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance No. 82-73, as amended, Section 60 Sign Regulations relative to real estate signage. Staff proposes amendments to the sign ordinance that would require all permits for real estate signs to be accompanied by a notarized affidavit stating that the building is no less than 80% leased, excluding common areas. The amendment would also require removal of real estate signs when 80% of a building's floor area is leased, excluding common areas. It was the consensus of the Council that the removal of signage at 80% of lease space is too restrictive and that the building owner should have the right to advertise available lease space. Staff was directed to research appropriate maximum size of signage for available commercial lease properties that could be utilized by building owners. There was no action taken by the City Council. Traffic Manager Ramana Chinnakotla presented an overview of a Red Light Photo Enforcement program. He reviewed ways to reduce red light running: engineering, Police enforcement and photo enhancement. He stated that State law does not prohibit or allow the use of red light cameras but that could become an issue in this next Legislative session. He noted that TxDOT would allow installation of cameras on State highways with permission from the District Engineer. Mr. Chinnakotla stated that if cameras were used, citations would be mailed to violators after the Police Department had reviewed the photos and that the penalty would be a civil penalty. It was the consensus of the City Council, that if the red light camera program were to be pursued, it would be a safety measure for citizens and not a revenue generator. Council directed Staff to provide information regarding the number of accidents at particular intersections and identify the areas with safety issues in the City. There was no action taken by the City Council. ITEM 4.
