17/92 Signage Code Modification
Summary
Orlando Avenue is dotted with dated pole signs, and Planning is looking to update the sign code in FY27 — likely toward monument signs. Board members floated a CRA-funded conversion program, possibly with a sliding-scale grant so owners who move early get more money, but questions remain about cost (well above the old $10K cap), easements, electrical service, and whether owners can be required to change at all.

Impact analysis
A CRA grant program could cost the city tens of thousands per sign — the old $10,000 cap was set nearly a decade ago and staff say $25,000 is the minimum today.
Corridor business owners who upgrade their signage with CRA help, and shoppers who get a cleaner, more modern-looking commercial strip.
Owners who can't easily fit a monument sign on their parcel, or who would bear shrinking reimbursement shares as the sliding scale steps down over ten years.
