The face lit <br />letters NAU is requesting to use are the same type of lettering as on the Medical Examiners <br />building. <br />Commissioner Bauer asked if the applicant's request is consistent with the changes that the City <br />is looking at making to the sign ordinance. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill stated absolutely, we are going to look at what we have approved and <br />look at what can be approved administratively and at the design guidelines. There are some ways <br />for flexibility. The applicant is asking for 24 inches in height and 18 inches is what may be <br />suggested to be the baseline height for administrative approval. <br />Vice Chairperson Van Scoy stated that one, of the discussions in the past was that a lot of the <br />signs in The COR would be at street level, and most of what the Commission is asked to approve <br />are second story, and he asked if this would be addressed with the new ordinance. <br />Senior Planner Gladhill confirmed that it would and added that what makes this request different <br />is that it is a single tenant building. <br />Planning Commission/May 5, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 13 <br />
