Sign exception for two ground signs and architectural review of all proposed signages
Ms. Ciddy Wordell, City Planner, gave an overview of the case based upon the staff report.
Two monument signs are being requested and that requires an exception. Staff supports that
because there is an easement for public art at the corner. It appears that there is a sight distance
issue related to the driveway, and that approval needs to be subject to the sight triangle. The
monument sign may need to be moved back. There is also an exception needed for two canopy
signs that are being proposed. Further a building sign is being proposed. Staff s interpretation of
the Chevron station across the street was that two different signs, the building sign and a canopy
sign, were allowed. Staff is not recommending two canopy signs because the back one is hidden
by the front one and the front one is adequate.
Comm. Harris asked questions regarding the height and the lettering of the canopy and the Food
Mart signs. It was noted that the canopy sign is blocking the Food Mart sign since it is right in
front of it. The owner and the applicant indicated that the signs could be raised or lowered a bit.
Comm. Stevens felt that sign A (the second canopy sign) is superfluous, that by driving by, it
would be the front sign that is seen. Comm. Harris agreed to just have one canopy sign and the
Food Mart sign.
Comm. Harris inquired about a car wash sign. She pointed out that if this was offered as a
service to the community it should be noticeable. If the owner wanted to add a sign it could be
added as an exception. Comm. Stevens felt that it would be successful without a sign. Since
there was no request for a sign at this time, it could be brought up later if there was the need for
more prominence.
Comm. Harris asked about the color of the monument sign. The original color of the monument
was cool gray, but in this case it will match the color ofthé building. This was suggested by
Larry Cannon after his review.
Comm. Stevens made a motion to approve 14-EXC-99 as proposed by staff and 21-ASA-99
with the condition subject to the standard sight triangle. Comm. Harris seconded the
motion. The motion was approved.
Comm. Harris adjourned the meeting at 6:15 pm.
