SPONSOR'S On October 6, 2008 the City Council adopted Ordinance 2208 which established a 180 -day
SUMMARY moratorium on the installation of certain signage types within the City. The sign types
included billboards, freeway interchange signs, dynamic signs, and freestanding signs
taller than six feet. The moratorium will expire in April and given the significance of
allowing such signs within the City, staff proposes to renew the moratorium for an
additional 180-days.

WHEREAS, Title 19 of the Tukwila Municipal Code the Sign Code regulates

WHEREAS, the City Council has identified that the City's current sign code is out-
dated and needs to be updated, in order to address the complexity of development

business owners, property owners and the City imposed by a staged amortization

establishing a six-month moratorium on the filing of sign, development, and electrical
permits for certain types of electronic signage within the City; Ordinance No. 2170,

Ordinance Nos. 2180 and 2202; and expanded by Ordinance No. 2208; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and Planning Commission were briefed on various
sign code issues at a joint meeting on October 25, 2007; and
WHEREAS, on February 4, 2008 the City Council adopted Resolution 1656 which
called for the creation of a Sign Code Advisory Comnittee to assist City staff in the
creation of a new sign code; and
WHEREAS, since July of 2008 the Committee has met five times to discuss the

recommendations to limit certain types of signage, in order to improve the visual
appearance of the City; and

recommendations, if included in the new sign code, will prohibit the installation of
some sign types that are currently permitted within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has received and will continue to receive applications for a
variety of signs that may conflict with the City's update to Title 19 and could potentially
pose a threat to public safety and add visual clutter to the City streets; and
WHEREAS, on March 2, 2009, the City Council conducted a public hearing on the
renewal of the moratorium;
