ground signs are not duplicated on street frontages and allowed signs have taken on a uniform look. B. That the sign plan is sensitive to and compatible with physical circumstances of the site and buildings. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Signs located at City Hall and the PSC near residential areas are of minimum size (mostly under 6 SF). All larger signs are directed towards Old Highway S and I-694. This is specifically aimed at responding to the physical circumstances of the site and buildings. C. That the sign plan is not detrimental to public safety. Staff finds this criterion to be met. None of the signs should create a public safety hazard as all placements need to be approved by the City Engineer and City Planner per the 2005 approval. D. That the sign plan will not impede the normal and orderly placement of signs on surrounding properties. Staff finds this criterion to be met. The surrounding properties are fully developed and Civic Campus signage needs have been sensitive to surrounding properties. In addition to criteria of Section 9-041, the general health, safety, and welfare standards of Section 8-130 must be considered. Section 8-130 states no special use shall be recommended by the Planning Commission unless the following criteria have been met: a. That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort of the general public. Staff finds this criterion to be met. None of the proposed signs, or their placement, will have a detrimental impact on the public health, safety, morals or comfort of the general public. They are of modest size for their purpose and placed in a manner so as not to create visual or traffic hazards. b. That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. Staff finds this criterion to be met. As noted in the response to item B above, impacts to surrounding properties were considered with regard to sign type and placement. C. That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the ID district. Stafffinds this criterion to be met. See response to item D above.
