Title
Creating Section 31.046(2)(a)7. of the Madison General Ordinances relating to signage on mobile grocery store vehicles parked on private property.

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance amendment exempts signage on a “mobile grocery store” trailer, when parked on a zoning lot and operating in compliance with applicable zoning codes, from the size restrictions on a portable sign displayed on private property and from paying a permit fee for a “portable sign.” Under the current sign code, signs on vehicles can be considered portable signs when located on a zoning lot. Under this amendment, any signage on the mobile grocery store trailer will not be counted toward the total number of portable signs permitted on the zoning lot. This ordinance also allows for extra portable signs on the zoning lot where the mobile grocery store is operating - up to one additional sign per street frontage - to advertise the mobile grocery store.
