Subject: Additional Guidance to Planning Commission on Temporary Sign Amendments
Sign Code Amendments are currently under review by Planning Commission as previously
directed by City Council action on August 5, 2014. Temporary signs are primarily regulated by
provisions of the zoning ordinance in the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC 15.08.110). The City
Council intent expressed at the Study Session on August 5, 2014 was for the Planning
Commission to conduct a limited review of the sign code with particular emphasis on clarifying
issues related to temporary signs and exempt signs.
These issues require thoughtful public review, in which the Planning Commission is currently
engaged. To resolve some citizen concerns about temporary signs the Council could consider
directing the Planning Commission to consider the following:
• Eliminate the time restrictions on the number of days a Temporary Sign may be
displayed (YMC 15.08.110, Part 1) — as 30 continuous days / 90 days maximum per
year.
