UPDATE: SIGN CODE QUESTION - TOTAL SQUARE FOOTAGE

Dear members,
We received an update from Shane Hope at the City of Edmonds, sharing additional information about the recent sign code amendments. Please review the information below, including the link to the memo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you know, the City Council recently adopted amendments to the City’s sign code. The most significant changes related to “pedestrian signs” (A-frames and such) in the downtown/waterfront area. Since then a question has come up: For downtown/waterfront businesses that obtained a permit for their wall signs in conformance with the existing sign code AND have a pedestrian sign that now meets the current code, does the pedestrian sign have to be counted in the total square footage allowed for wall signs? 

The answer is “yes” under certain conditions. Please read the full memo regarding Signage Interpretations and the process to make an appeal.
