News Article

Amendment to be considered by City Council with the full Recommended Draft package at a public hearing on Wednesday, Oct. 30 at 2:45 p.m.

Mayor Wheeler will introduce an amendment for City Council consideration at the upcoming City Council hearing on the Rose Quarter Sign Code Project scheduled to start at 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 30.

The proposed amendment adjusts the limit on signs that face the Interstate 5 freeway and are within 100 feet of the freeway right-of-way. The current recommendation limits individual signs to 200 square feet in these situations. The amendment expands this limit for an individual sign up to 1,000 square feet. The expansion allows greater flexibility for signage along the east wall of the Moda Center while still maintaining some limitation.
