and warning notices sent and shows the type of approval (s ) options

comply with the ordinance .
Per Council direction, enforcement action and nuisance abatement

dealerships indicated on the summary list will be held in abeyance,
pending completion of the Sign Ordinance Amendment Study relating to
auto dealership/automobile product line signage.
On April 24 , 1992 , second warning notices, requesting compliance
by May 8 , 1992 , were sent by certified mail to five nonconforming sign
locations . Four of these were business/property owner locations
which did not submit a time extension request. The fifth location
had a time extension request and had erected a separate illegal sign.
To date, three of these nonconforming sign locations have been
corrected (two locations which did not submit an extension request and
one location with the separate illegal sign) . The two remaining
nonconforming sign locations which did not submit a time extension
request have contacted Staff; however, they have not removed or
submitted applications to correct the nonconforming signs . Staff is
working with the City Attorney' s office to begin enforcement action
and nuisance abatement proceedings .
