IV. TAXI CAB LICENSES
The Village has received inquiries from two taxi service
companies seeking application for licensing and operation.
These inquiries were received from American Taxi operating
out of Arlington Heights and Courier 2000, Inc., through
Arlington Best Cab. Enclosed with the Agenda are the
letters of inquiry. Also attached is a memo from'the
Village Clerk outlining the procedures specified in
our Municipal Code, Chapter 11, Article 11. The Municipal
Code states that subsequent to the receipt of an application,
the matter should be heard at a Public Hearing held before
the Public Health and Safety Committee of the Board of
Trustees. The Mayor and Board may want to consider
holding this Public Hearing before the Committee of the
Whole and establish a target date for that formal Public
Hearing. Representatives of the taxi ,,companies have
been invited to attend the meeting to elaborate upon their
proposed service.
V. SIGN ORDINANCE
In January of this year, the Mayor and Board of Trustees
directed that the staff initiate research to.develop a new
comprehensive Sign Ordinance. Subsequently, the Department
of Community Development prepared the draft Ordinance and
it was reviewed by a Sign Ordinance Subcommittee,
appointed by Mayor Krause, at nine meetings from February
through May. The Ordinance was then reviewed by the
Planning Commission, the Downtown Business Development and
Redevelopment Committee and the Zoning Board of Appeals.
On September 23, after five meetings, the Zoning Board of
Appeals concluded its ,review of the matter. During
all of these hearings, substantial testimony was received
from the sign industry,,Iocal business and citizen advisers.
Attached for your review is the Sign Ordinance incorporating
the suggested changes and improvements from the various
committees and interests.
The staff will be prepared at the October 12 Committee
of the Whole meeting to"give a brief presentation as to
the purposes and mechanics of the Ordinance. As
presently written, we estimate that 40-50% of the existing
signs in the community will be non -conforming. The
Ordinance includes an amortization schedule that permits
existing non -conforming signs to continue for up to eleven
years from the date of the permit. Any change in any
existing sign would require immediate compliance with 00001NIMM
the new Ordinance. Illegal signs; i.e. ,those without— OCTOBER
permits would have to come into compliance immediately 198
The Sign Ordinance does allow encroachment on the public
right-of-way for the downtown business district as defined
in the Comprehensive Plan. Such language was thought to
be appropriate since most of those properties were developed
without sufficient setbacks. The staff expects that the
matter of the Sign Ordinance will take at least two
Committee of the Whole meetings for discussion.
