TEMPORARY SIGN PERMIT – 1950 WATKISS WAY

PURPOSE OF REPORT:

To present Council with information pertaining to a Temporary Free-Standing Sign for the purpose of real estate advertising at 1950 Watkiss Way.

BACKGROUND:

The applicant is selling the property at 1950 Watkiss Way under the mixed-use CD-10C zoning and wishes to post a 32 sq. ft. (3m²) real estate sign to advertise the sale of the property. The CD-10C zone is within Sign Zone 3. Temporary signs are permitted for a 12-month period and extensions are subject to staff approval.

ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:

The applicant has submitted the following in support of their application:

1. Site Plan showing proposed location of the sign – applicant – April 2013
2. Sketch of the sign dimensions – applicant – April 2013

This sign (3m²) exceeds the allowable bylaw-exempt size for a Real Estate sign in Sign Zone 3 (1.5m²) and as such requires a temporary sign permit.

The permitted term for the temporary sign will be 12 months, after which a renewal will be required and subject to staff approval.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT Council approve a temporary sign permit for a free-standing sign for the purpose of real estate advertising as presented in the April 30, 2013 report from the Planner.
