Dee Widero, OV Zoning Program Supervisor, non resident, stated she did not have an approved letter to send out to businesses, only a draft.  The letter will be sent out to the entire business community in Oro Valley.  Mrs. Widero will allow 60 days so that businesses have opportunity to purchase the night timer.  After the 60 days the Zoning staff will do night enforcement.

Member Zinkin asked why during the inspection when a sign is finalized it is not part of the process that the signs are programmed to turn off.  Mrs. Widero responded it currently is part of the process as of Vestar.

Mrs. Widero continued and said if businesses don’t comply, the citation can go before the OV Magistrate court, and the fine can be as much as $1000.00 per day.

 

Member Schoeppach commented there have been three or four meetings of the committee that is addressing neighborhood meetings, and they are very close to getting the materials prepared to move forward changing the code.  This has been a very productive process and has been going very well.

Member Zinkin welcomed Mr. Wowk.
