Sign rules may ease in Carbondale zoning plan
Carbondale city council and planning commission move toward a relaxed zoning ordinance for signs. Key provisions limit flashing signs to once every five seconds and require a sign photo record for enforcement. The plan allows 80 percent of existing signs, non conforming signs until business change, and outlaw portable signs. Also sets base sign area at 150 square feet with extra space per setback. Other actions approve a boat launch facility, endorse SIU seniors plan, reshuffle steering committee, and set Emma Hayes Center meeting room fees.
