Just received a letter from the city informing me that the placement of A-frame signs in the downtown business district is now allowed per revised ordinance 15-4.10.7.G. Of course, being a governmental ordinance, it has to get very specific with the sign and its location: no taller than 3 feet or 2 ' wide, not exceeding a total of six square feet per side, and no three or four sided signs. The sing must come inside at the close of business, sit no further than 15' from the front door, not impede pedestrian traffic and sit at least 3 and a half feet from any building, post or obstruction.
Business owners must now get a permit for each A-frame sign, costing $10 per year, and, if located on aright of way, list the city as an additional insured on the business' insurance certificate.
On a related note, I am glad to see that the ordinance regarding flashing signs has been brought up to date to incorporate electronic message boards, though apparently flashing message boards and signs are still illegal. See 10.7.E at the link above.
