In last week's issue the Westerly News incorrectly reported that Tofino's municipal council had passed an amendment to the district's sign control bylaw that would allow business owners to apply for a regular sign permit to build a new freestanding sign while not also having to apply for a development permit.
In fact, there was a resolution of Council to authorize the preparation of an amendment to the OCP (the development permit areas in the OCP) regarding sign control. This has not been adopted by Council - Council just asked staff to do the work to prepare the amendment. There were NO amendments to the sign control bylaw at the meeting.
