And add (I) to the Notes in Table 6.2.3 and add a new Section 6.2.9. "Signs by Special Permit" as follows: (words In bold italics denotes new language).

See Section 6.2.9 for Special Permit Criteria. Add new Section 6.2.9 so that it reads as follows: Section 6.2.9 Signs by Special Permit: The CPDC may grant a Special Permit for a free- standing sign within the side setbacks identified in Table 6.2.3 or Section 6.2.6.3 if it finds that the sign complies with the purposes of this by -law, abutting properties are not unreasonably impacted by sign placement, and the sign conforms in all other respects ' with Section 6.2 with specific attention to Section 6.2.5.a regarding impact on traffic and pedestrian safety. Subsequent Town Meeting November 15, 2010 Background - given by Jean Delios: In 1993, Signs under the Zoning By -Law was amended. The changes , that resulted created non - conformity with regard to signs. A sunset provision was also adopted as part of the zoning changes which allowed businesses to come into compliance over time. The deadline for compliance was July 1, 2010. An inventory was conducted last Spring which identified numerous non - conforming signs, many of which did not meet the side setback requirements in Table 6.2.3 of the Zoning By -Laws for Business A, Business -C and Industrial Zoning Districts. The sunset provision is no longer in effect so the nonconformity must be addressed. As a way to deal with side setback non - conformity, the proposed changes in Article 17 add a Special Permit provision to the side setback requirements. Under the existing zoning ordinance, a 20 foot side setback (an allowance or setback of area from the side of the property line to the sign) is required for free- standing signs. This creates a hardship for many businesses by requiring that the sign be placed in the middle of the parking lot thus interfering with access. Article 18 provides a way for the CPDC, through a Special Permit process, to allow a free - standing sign within the side setbacks. The criteria for CPDC to use in issuing a Special Permit are: • Compties with the purposes of this by -law, • Abutting properties are not unreasonably impacted by sign placement; • The sign conforms in all other respects with Section 6.2, with specific attention to Section 6.2.5.a regarding impact on traffic and pedestrian safety.
