Jacksonville sign law hits restaurant JACKSONVILLE � Terra Firma may have to put up a new sign when the city rewrites its sign ordinance, the City Council agreed this week. The restaurant�s sign doesn�t comply with current code and it likely won�t comply with the new ordinance that the city plans to rewrite soon, said Paul Wyntergreen, city administrator. Jacksonville will pay about $3,600 for the removal of Terra Firma�s old sign because the city�s Historic and Architectural Review Commission approved the sign�s design and size. In other action Tuesday, the Jacksonville City Council appointed Andy Jones to the forestry committee and began seeking residents for an opening on the utility committee, which oversees the areas of street, power, sidewalks and storm drains. The city also scheduled an urban growth boundary extension hearing with Jackson County for 6 p.m. Oct. 9 in the large group room at Jacksonville Elementary School. Jacksonville has the unusual distinction of having its urban growth boundary located inside the city limits, Wyntergreen said. "It�s a totally upside-down state of affairs and we�re trying to get it moved out to provide more land supply," Wyntergreen said. "Right now, Jacksonville has just about used up all available lands."
