Submitting report relative to Text Amendment to Chapter 61 of the 1984 Detroit City Code for On - Premises Signs and Proposed Ally Financial Sign Application in PCA District. (As this Honorable Body is aware, the City Planning Commission staff has presented you with a proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance in regard to on - premises signage with the City Planning Commission recommendation to approve; however, it has not yet been approved as to form by the Corporation Counsel. The Administration is especially interested in the aesthetic appearance of the City of Detroit, and the derogatory effects of illegal or abandoned signage. To that end, an RFP has been issued for a consultant with specialized expertise in municipal signage ordinances to enable the City to take a holistic approach in evaluating the current sign regulations, including civic engagement, and advising on an amendment that speaks to all aspects of signs including appearance, consistent application of regulations, permitting processes and enforcement.)
