SECTION 2 . URGENCY ORDINANCE - FINDINGS. The City has received
requests for special signing in conjunction with special events

PROVISIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. Because approval of these
signs is usually needed on a very short turn-around time and

agenda, City Council finds that a more expedient approval process
is desirable. In addition, the Council finds it is not necessary
for the Council to personally review each such request. There are
new pending requests for special signing , which cannot be
considered by the Council in a timely manner. Therefore , the City

substantial visitors to the community, when it can be
found that such signs will not be materially detrimental
to the public welfare, interest or safety, nor injurious
to adjacent property. Such signs shall only be permitted
