Commissioner Chiniaeff questioned why the provisions dealing with hardship cases were eliminated. Assistant City Attorney John Cavanaugh advised that because it is difficult to determine what a hardship is, it leaves an opportunity for anyone to declare a hardship, therefore the City Attorney recommends deleting the hardship clause. Vice Chairman Blair opened the public hearing at 6:25 P.M. Commissioner Chiniaeff questioned if there is a "sunset" clause on non-conforming signs. Assistant City Attorney Cavanaugh advised that non-conformity creates an issue where if the City required non-conforming signs to come down, the City would have to compensate the owner.
