SEPTEMBER 22, 2017, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A7
SIGNS,
continued from Page A1
with a majority opinion and
three concurring ones, de-
termined that the city’s sign
code restricted free speech by
requiring specifi c content and
that sign codes needed to be
content neutral.
Keizer’s current sign code
places categorical restrictions
on election and real estate sig-
nage and city staff are attempt-
ing to purge those designations
and replace them with more
neutral language.
“Having these types of defi -
nitions in our code means it’s
not content neutral and opens
us up for litigation,” said Nate
Brown, Keizer community de-
velopment director.
The current code permits
election-related signs 45 days
before an election and seven
days after. The proposed chang-
es include: allowing unlimited
portable signs during a specifi c
time period around elections,
allowing a specifi c number of
signs during that time period;
creating a two-week special
city staff to recommend dates.
Setting a limit on the num-
ber of signs didn’t sit well with
Commissioner Hersch Sang-
ster because the city has few re-
sources with which to enforce
such rules.
“You have to have the abil-
ity to enforce it, and we don’t
and we won’t,” Sangster said.
“The way it’s written now
makes sense.”
After an hour of discussion,
Commissioner Garry Whalen
expressed frustration with the
lack of progress in any direc-
tion.
“We’re fi xing something
that’s not broken. We’ve spent
an hour on two things and
we’re still shooting at ghosts,”
he said.
The conversation on elec-
tion and real estate signs ended
with agreement between Jacks
and Johnson to work on lan-
guage that kept the categories
without infringing on content.
The Window Loophole
Another major topic of dis-
cussion during the meeting
was what restrictions, if any, to
implement on window signage.
Generally, businesses in
Keizer are allotted a certain
event permit; or making no
change.
The real estate section of
the Keizer sign code allows for
temporary portable signs on
residential properties and larger
signs on commercial property.
The options for changes were
creating a renewable special
event permit for the larger
commercial signs or making no
change.
City Attorney Shannon
Johnson would like the city to
eliminate any language refer-
ring to the content of a sign,
even if it is used for a category.
Commissioner Jim Jacks
took issue with the need to
have such discussions at all.
“The category doesn’t limit
the content,” Jacks said. “Some
are going to say that anything
during election is fi ne, but
others will question which
elections. What about the spe-
cial elections, May primaries?
I don’t know if anyone will
bring all these issues up, but it
could be the result.”
Senior Planner Shane With-
am asked the commissioners
to determine if they wanted a
limit on the number of signs
in a yard or property and leave
public notices

amount of permanent signage,
in square footage, based on the
size of their frontage. How-
ever, many business windows
are now covered in additional
signage, known as advertising
shades that serve a dual pur-
pose – acting to reduce sun-
light within a business and cre-
ating new advertising space on
the exterior. City staff is pro-
posing to limit advertising on
windows to no more than 50
percent coverage.
Two commissioners, Mike
DeBlasi and Whalen have talk-
ed with city staff regarding the
development particularly as it
relates to the two new business-
es on River Road North – Jer-
sey Mike’s and Casamigos. The
windows facing River Road
North are completely covered
by the advertising shades.
“We have almost one big
wall of billboards. I person-
ally would like to see no more
than 25 percent on streets or
throughways,” DeBlasi said.
Whalen added that the
shading material is available
without the advertising on the
other side and that it seems
more like a workaround the
sign code than a necessity.
“Shade protection is avail-
able without all that advertis-
ing,” Whalen said.
DeBlasi noted that the west
side of the building, which gets
the most sun during business
hours, is completely unpro-
tected.
There was some disagree-
ment among the commission-
ers regarding propriety of such
advertising.
“I don’t think that the win-
dows look that bad as some
that I have seen,” said Com-
missioner Kyle Juran. “I would
rather see advertising than their
piles of [trash].”
After some additional con-
versation,
commissioners
agreed with the staff recom-
mendation of limiting adver-
tising on shades to 50 percent.
However, the Keizer City
Council will have the fi nal say.
New Life for
Electronic Signs
If electronic signs in Keizer
seem static compared to other
cities, there’s a reason for that.
The current sign code only al-
lows messages to change once
every 15 minutes. For public
entities, like the school and
fi re district, messages can only
change once a day.
During the past two months
of meetings, commissioners
heard from numerous local
business owners and managers
about the desire to increase the
frequency of message changes.
In addition to wanting to get
more information out about
their businesses, several touted
the ability to help spread the
word about community events.
“We do a lot of promotion
for the high school and many
of the fundraising dinners. I
feel like we could do more of
that,” said Jane Lowery, branch
manager of Willamette Valley
Bank.
Most advocated for increas-
ing the message changes to
every eight seconds, but some
commissioners balked at that
speed.
Staff did not suggest a spe-
cifi c time for message changes
and looked to the commission-
ers for guidance.
“Fifteen minutes is inef-
fi cient and 8 seconds feels
unsubstantiated. One of our
challenges is to get a balance
between safety and limiting
distractions,” Whalen said.
Juran said eight seconds has
not been found to be a safety
issue and worked well when he
purchased electronic billboard
space for his business.
“Even at 15 seconds, that
cascade of signs blinking and
changing is an issue we have
consider aesthetically,” DeBlasi
said.
Brown, the community
development director, said he
would rather commissioners
start with longer intervals and
then reduce them later if war-
ranted. Commissioners recom-
mended changing message in-
tervals to 60 seconds, but the
city council will have the fi nal
say. xsw
A Little Extra for All
Restrictions on portable
signs for all businesses could
be eased if the city council ap-
proves a fi nal recommendation
from the planning commission.
Current rules restrict por-
table and temporary signs on
commercial property to one
per lot with a 50 foot separa-
tion and a 120-day limit. The
rules cover A-frame signs,
feather fl ags and banners. City
staff are proposing to relax
those restrictions by remov-
ing the time limit and allow-
ing each storefront to put up
a portable sign near public-
right-of-way with a 10-foot
separation.
The changes come at the
request of business owners
within shopping strips. The
current rules can lead to con-
fl ict among neighboring busi-
nesses as to which one gets to
put out signs on which days.
The change would likely
lead to more portable signs
along River Road, but Jacks
cautioned against a 10-foot
separation.
“Fifty (feet) is too much of a
separation, but every 10 feet is
going to look more like a cir-
cus or a state fair,” Jacks said.
Commissioners decided on
a 25-foot separation as a me-
dium. While such a change will
relax the current restriction,
business owners in the most
tightly-packed shopping plazas
might still fi nd themselves vy-
ing for space.
