Legislative History: July 15, 2014: The Planning Commission considered the request and held a public hearing. One resident expressed concern regarding whether or not the signs would be lighted. The applicant indicated there isn't an intention to light the signs, however staff noted the existing Comprehensive Sign Plan would allow the signs to be lit. The Commission voted unanimously to approve the request consistent with the staff recommendation. Financial Impact: Not applicable Explanation: The applicant is requesting an amendment to the previously approved Comprehensive Sign Plan governing allowed signage at Main Street Village. The proposed amendment would allow: • Construction of a new ground sign near the center plaza area of the CU Companies property (fronting on Main Street), • Expansion of allowed wall signage (specifically logos) on 500 & 550 Main Street. The new monument sign (ground sign) is the same size as the existing monument sign (to be re- faced), which is approximately seven feet tall and nine feet wide, or 63 SF. The applicant has proposed three different wall sign variations, one without a logo and two with logo options. The non -logo sign measures two feet tall and 14' wide, for 28 SF. The logo sign options increase the square footage 4.5 SF — 9 SF, or 32.5 SF — 37 SF in total graphic area. The intent with the wall signs is to provide for additional major tenant signage within the buildings at 500 & 550 Main Street. The sign locations are in the upper corners of the buildings at each end and mounted in the central entrance area connecting the two buildings. Staff provided a full Special Use Permit analysis within the attached Planning Report. The Planning Commission reviewed the special use permit criteria of Zoning Code Sections 9 -041 and 8 -130. The Planning Commission recommended approval based on the findings noted within the attached Resolution.
