PURPOSE OF REPORT
The purpose of the amendment to the Land Use Bylaw is to implement an internally driven green tape initiative, by increasing portable sign permit validity duration, therefore reducing the requirement to re-apply for a portable sign permit from every 90 days to every 180 days.
An amendment(s) to the Master Rates Bylaw, Schedule E - Development Permits, increasing the fee(s) for portable signs (3(h)) is planned to be presented to Council on May 31, 2021.
ALIGNMENT TO PRIORITIES IN COUNCIL’S STRATEGIC PLAN
Strategic Priority #2: Economic Development: Enhance business/commercial growth.
The proposed amendment could encourage more businesses to invest in a portable sign to advertise, as a sign permit application requirement every 180 days is more convenient than a new permit application every 90 days, and more efficient to manage. This is an initiative that will potentially enhance more business advertising and subsequently, revenue generation for businesses within the City of St. Albert.
