Sign Ordinance Community Development Director Rogness summarized an application from Ron Kraus, new owner of the Dairy Queen, for an amendment to the city's sign ordinance. This proposed amendment would allow"off-premises business signs"to be allowed within Commercial, Bushiness Park and Industrial zones.

Many controls have been recommended by the planning commission,ranging from overall design compatibility to size limitations. Concerns were raised by Councilmembers related to enforcement, sign proliferation, and the need for such a change. After further discussion, the Council asked that staff prepare a motion for denial at the upcoming City Council meeting. i.ic�uor Ordinance Assistant to Administrator Walsh reviewed proposed amendments to the liquor ordinance that would provide for two classes of on-sale liquor licenses. After discussion by the City Council, staff was directed to put together an ordinance that would include the following provisions: (1) Class B license would require food and non-alcoholic beverages to be 51% of the total revenues for restaurants and hotels; (2)bowling alleys would have to meet a 25% food sale requirement for a Class B license; (3) Class A license would be prohibited along CR 42 or within a certain distance of CR42; (4) Class B license holders would have to provide documentation that they meet the food revenue requirements; and (5) Class A licenses would not have to meet food revenue requirements. City staff was also directed to begin reviewing liquor license fees since the Council agreed that fees may have to be increased, and a Class A license fee should be higher than a Class B license fee.
