Assisting Dialog for Updating Our Community's Design Regulations
Monday, August 4, 2008
Findings Continued
Much of the Storefront document details signage design.
Given the necessary scope of sign code amendments, in terms of process and complexity, it is not intended that this project involve such revisions.
The only exception is that staff intent to explore additional signage allotments that would be contextually fitting with the historic nature of the area. The suggestions include painted wall signs and architectureal signage features such as the one shown in this photo.
Staff will develop regulations that would permit/promote these kinds of signs to add to the sense of place for the Harborside district.
The update is focused on our historic downtown with two main objectives: provide more context appropriate guidance for future development in this district; and, integrate the recommendations associated with the Downtown & Waterfront Redevelopment Plan, the Windjammer Plan, into the regulations.
