Re-formatting of the code has removed repetitiveness and provides greater clarity.
RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee recommended approval on May 26, 2015 with concerns regarding changes to window signs, temporary signs on residential properties, and the addition of promotional advertising banners.
