there is interest in allowing such signage, this matter should

temporary real estate open house signs.
With regard to the potential authorization for nonprofit groups'
signs, the Council and Planning Commission would want to

2. Banners v. signs
3. Size limits
4. Location parameters
5. Number of signs per event
6. Number of times per year per location and per organization

8. Time frames before the event and for sign removal
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Refer the use of signs /banners by Moorpark based nonprofit
groups and use of public rights -of -way for certain signs to the
Planning Commission as part of the prior action to review the
sign code.
