Currently we prepare signs for posting at a site that are specific to
the proposed development. We have separate signs for Conditional Use
Permits, rezoning, variances, etc. that we hand write in the information
specific to the case. For instance, our sign for a proposed rezoning
looks something like this:



NOTICE

Public Hearing & Meeting to Consider

REZONING

Of This Property



From Case #




To




Location




Zoning Commission Meeting Board of Supervisors

Date Date

Place: Linn County Administration Bldg Place: Linn County
Administration Bldg

930 1st St SW, Cedar Rapids 930 1st St
SW, Cedar Rapids



For information please contact Linn County Planning & Development at
892-5130





We fill in the blanks and provide the sign(s) to the applicant with
instructions on where to post and when they need to be posted by. I'd
like to do a "generic" sign that we would use for any and all types of
proposals that says something to the effect that the property is
proposed for development and to contact the department with questions;
and I'd have our staff post the sign(s) at the site. If you use this
type of generic sign what is your language? Do you use it for all types
of cases? Does it work? Is there anything you'd do differently? And
finally, do you know of any other jurisdiction that does this?



Thanks for any replies.
