Glendale might lift its 50-year ban on sidewalk signs for businesses.
The Planning Commission voted 3-0 on Wednesday to recommend that the City Council lift the ban. The rule has been unpopular with many business owners who argue that during tough economic times, they need the signs to advertise more than ever.
The signs have been banned for years, as they were considered “visual clutter that would not benefit the look of the city,” according to a city staff report.
Yet some merchants have continued to use them, according to the Glendale News-Press.
In approving the plan, the commission added a size restrictions, a $100 fee and a requirement for $1 million in liability insurance.
