- Ms. Nerland advised that such a discussion may be agendized and noted that because of <br />current staffing resources, a comprehensive staff report may not be available. <br />Commissioner Fox believed that most of the sign ordinance was fine and wished to <br />address window and temporary signage. <br />Commissioner Maas advised that as a business owner, she did not believe that doing <br />business was as easy as it used to be, and any kind of additional regulation made it more <br />difficult. She noted that the number of complaints had been so small that opening up the <br />broader signage issue was not the best use of time. <br />Commissioner Sullivan disagreed with Commissioner Maas's assessment and did not <br />believe that such promotional signs should be displayed on a permanent basis. <br />Ms. Nerland cautioned against pulling pieces of an ordinance from another city and <br />inserting them into Pleasanton's ordinances. She noted that staff must ensure that the <br />entire ordinance works as a whole and was not internally contradictory. Staff could <br />provide the Commission with a copy of ordinances from the other cities to use as a basis <br />of the discussion prior to arriving at a consensus. She noted that the Commission could <br />initiate the ordinance process to the Council. <br />ROLL CALL VOTE: <br />AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Kameny, Roberts, and Sullivan. <br />NOES: Commissioner Maas. <br />ABSTAIN: None. <br />RECUSED: None. <br />ABSENT: None. <br />The motion carried. <br />The Planning Commission recessed for a break at 8:30 p.m. <br />Chairperson Roberts reconvened the meeting at 8:40 p.m. <br />d.
