II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Renewal of Sign Code Moratorium
The current moratorium on certain types of signage throughout the City (animated and electronic,
free standing taller than six feet, freeway interchange signs and billboards) will expire in September
2009.
Currently, the City Council is reviewing the Shoreline Master Program and is then scheduled to
review the Tukwila Urban Center Plan. It is anticipated that Council will not have the opportunity to
consider the Sign Code update until after full Council review of the above two projects is complete.
Staff is requesting that the moratorium be extended for an additional 180 days (6 months) to allow
for completion of the Sign Code update. The moratorium prevents new signs from being installed
that may be in conflict with the updated code once it is complete. A public hearing, as required for
this issue, is set for the July 27, 2009, COW meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO JULY 27 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
The Committee briefly reviewed the status of the Council goals which have been assigned to the
Community Affairs Parks Committee. Second quarter updates to goals have already been submitted
to the Mayor's Office. Considering the Council workload at this time, Chair Griffin suggested that she
review the shared goals with the Finance Safety Chair as well as schedule an agenda item to discuss
accomplishing certain goals at an upcoming meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
