MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS AND/OR DISCUSSION
ITEM 18. REPORT OFF-PREMISE DEVELOPER SIGNS
Community Development Director H. T. Hardy stated that
at the June 18, 1991 Council meeting there was
discussion concerning the placement of off-premise
signs for directing traffic to the Labrador Bay
.; Subdivision. Mr. Hardy advised that the current zoning
ordinance prohibits any additional off-premise signs
(billboards) and that the signage requested by the
developers of Labrador Bay would require the zoning $
ordinance be amended to allow off-premise signs. If
Council chooses to amend the zoning ordinance to
address difficulties identified by the Labrador Bay
developers, attention would need to be focused on the
large number of other subdivisions that have similar
problems. Also, there could be other businesses in the
