5.05: Public Hearing: Considering Ordinance #17-01 Amending Sign Standards for the <br /> Employment Districts to Allow a Second Ground Sign on Parcels with Multiple Road <br /> Frontages <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 8:33 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating in 2010, the City amended the sign <br /> regulations relating to the Business Districts(B-1 and B-2)to allow a secondary permanent ground <br /> sign on parcels with multiple road frontages. At that time, it did not seem that there was a need to <br /> contemplate allowing a secondary ground sign in the Employment Districts since they are not <br /> generally oriented toward retail uses sought out by the general public. However, the City has had <br /> a couple inquiries over the past few years about the potential of a secondary ground sign that were <br /> not possible without the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit due to the limitation of one (1) <br /> permanent ground sign per parcel, regardless of the number of road frontages. Staff reviewed the <br /> request in further detail with the Commission and recommended approval. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Commissioner Nosan questioned the difference between the City's Business and Employment <br /> Districts. <br /> City Planner Anderson described the differences between the two zoning districts as being a place <br /> to work versus a place to shop. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Nosan, to close the public <br /> hearing. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Anderson, Nosan, Brauer, <br /> Surma, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 8:38 p.m. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Motion by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to recommend that City <br /> Council adopt Ordinance 917-01 amending Section 117-520 (b) to allow a second permanent <br /> ground sign on parcels with multiple road frontages in the Employment Districts. <br /> Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Bauer, Commissioners Anderson, Surma, Brauer, <br /> Nosan, and VanScoy. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br />
