A three-month window is in place for Warrenton city officials to decide how window signs should be regulated.Last week, aldermen voted 5-0 in support of a moratorium to temporarily suspend the enforcement of an ordinance prohibiting signs from covering more than 20 percent of a window.The city’s planning and zoning commission is expected to discuss the ordinance at its next meting March 3. A final decision will rest with aldermen.“We needed something immediate and the moratorium was an option,” Mayor Eric Schleuter said. “I think this was a wise move. This is something we have to look at, whether it’s redoing or reworking it.”The coverage restriction was a long-ignored city ordinance, but was enforced for a short time in recent weeks. Many Warrenton businesses were caught off-guard when notices were sent alerting them they were violating city code.After some businesses lashed out, the city backed away from enforcing the ordinance.“We have to work through these things in order to make the situation better,” Ward 1 Alderman Karen Casserly said.Other news• The board voted 5-0 to reject all bids for a gazebo to be constructed at Binkley Woods Park.
