amendment to the zoning title pertaining to the regulation of ground

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, that after being fully apprised

does hereby make and enter the following findings;
Section 1. The zoning title should be amended when it is
determined that there are new conditions, new attitudes, or the
existing ordinance does not adequately cover the intent of the City.
Section 2. The present zoning title is inconsistent in its
regulation of signs in that wall and projecting, but not ground,
signs of twenty (20) square feet or less may be constructed of
non-treated wood.
Section 3. Non-treated ground signs should be allowed in
commercial and industrial districts as long as a required flame
clearance is kept between the sign and adjacent structures.
Section 4. In summation, we find that non-treated ground
signs of a certain area and distance from adjacent structures should
be allowed in Ashland. The amendment, designated Exhibit A is
attached.
The foregoing findings of fact and determination were READ
