SUBJECT: DISCUSSION & INFORMATION: Time Extension for Allowance of
Portable and Temporary Signs
Chapter 18.56 (Signs) of the Auburn City Code (ACC} contains regulations and
standards for the use of different types of signage on private properties and publicly
owned land within the municipal limits of the City of Auburn. In the spring/summer of
2009, the Mayor's Office and the Planning and Development Department received
numerous requests from local businesses for increased allowances for portable and
temporary signs to help stimulate local business activities during the current significant
economic downturn. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on August
25, 2009 and following deliberation, recommended to the City Council authorization of
use of portable and temporary signs in certain zoning districts for a one year time period
for such use with the possibility of up to two extensions of six months, should economic
conditions warrant.
The City Council approved Ordinance No. 6263 on September 8, 2009 authorizing
portable temporary signs in certain specified zoning districts of the City of Auburn until
September 16, 2010, unless this timeframe was extended by future Council action. The
Council approved this Ordinance in part following its determination that it was in the
public interest because of economic conditions and challenges for local businesses.
Following Council approval of Ordinance No. 6263, staff notified interested parties and
developed no fee permit forms to register the location of portable and temporary signs
on private property and in the public right-of-way (see attached). Staff has encountered
no major problems or issues in the administration of this temporary program.

Following discussion and recommendation by the Planning and Community
Development Committee in August 2010, the Auburn City Council approved Ordinance
No. 6327 (refer to attachment) on September 2010 that extended the timeframe for
the use of portable and temporary signs on private property and in the public right-of-
way to March 15, 2011). Staff has continued to encounter no major problems or issues
in the administration of this temporary program.
Staff discussed the potential extension of Ordinance No. 6327 with the Planning and
Community Development Committee as the lead action committee at its February 14,
2011 regular meeting. The Committee expressed support for the extension of the
Ordinance for 1 year to help Auburn businesses during the continued economic
situation.
Following the Public Works Committee's review of this matter, staff will present it to the
Municipal Services Committee on February 28, 2011 before bringing it back to the
Planning and Community Development Committee for possible action on February 28t"
If recommended for approval by the Planning and Community Development Committee
on February 28t", the Ordinance will be submitted for potential City Council action on
March 2011.
~ Please note that the only difference between Ordinance Nos. 6263 and 6327 was a change in the effective period of
the ordinance. All other changes shown in Ordinance No. 6327 are the same that were originally presented in
Ordinance No. 6263. Therefore, staff has provided only a copy of the most current ordinance under consideration for
extension -Ordinance No. 6327. Page 2 of 2
