Planning and Zoning Commission — October 14, 2026
The county is fixing a gap in its sign code — designated sign zones that were never adopted, no way to track how long signs have been up, and no removal requirements. The new rules add an online registration system, a 48-hour exemption for short-term signs like open houses and farmers markets, and clearer enforcement tools.

Staff pitched a temporary sign code revision, with input from MainStreet and the County Attorney, but the Council took no action — it remains under discussion.
Planning and Zoning Commission — February 25, 2026
The county's proposed signage rules (Development Code Chapter 16, Article IV, Division 8) were supposed to be discussed tonight but got pushed to April 8. Businesses and property owners watching sign regulations will need to wait another month.
