Staff finds this criterion to be met. Sign placement elsewhere in the Main Street Village development are surrounding area will not be impacted by the proposed amendment to the sign plan. Additionally, in order for the Planning Commission to make a recommendation to the City Council regarding a Special Use Permit, it must be found that the following findings are met (staff responses in italics): 1. That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. The proposed increase in sign square footage should not create any negative impacts to the pubic. If the corner tenant was not taking up three tenant spaces and there were three individual tenants, there would be three individual signs. One slightly larger sign will likely have less impact than three smaller signs. 2. 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. The proposed larger sign will not be any more injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity nor further impair property values than three individual tenant signs would, which is allowed currently. 3. 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 district. Staff finds this criterion to be met. Main Street Village and most of the surrounding area is nearly fully developed in accordance with Zoning District requirements. 4. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and/or necessary facilities have been or are being provided. Staff finds this criterion is not applicable as utilities, access roads, drainage and all other facilities will not be impacted with installation of a slightly larger sign. 5. That the special use shall in all other respects conform to the applicable regulations of the district in which it is located. It is of staffs opinion that this criterion is met. Main Street Village was developed as a Planned Unit Development and to staffs knowledge, all conditions of that PUD are being met.
