COMMISSION BUSINESS <br />6.01: Consider Request for Conditional Use Permit for a Ground Sign and Wall Signage at <br />7800 Sunwood Drive NW (Project No. 20-102); Case of New Horizon Academy <br />Presentation <br />City Planner Anderson presented the Staff Report stating that staff recommends approving the <br />request for a Conditional Use Permit for the requested deviations from sign standards. <br />Commission Business <br />Chairperson Bauer stated that it is clear that the Commission needs to discuss the overall sign <br />ordinance. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that staff has begun to work with the planning consultant on that <br />topic and will bring that information forward to the Commission once ready. <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that there is an overlay for the Armstrong Interchange District and <br />asked if that impacts this situation. <br />City Planner Anderson confirmed that district allows administrative approval of ground signs up <br />to 150 square feet in are and 50 feet in height but excludes parcels within The COR and therefore <br />does not apply to this parcel. <br />Chairperson Bauer invited the applicant to provide any additional comments. <br />Eric Tauscheck, Spectrum Signs, stated that he is present to address any questions. He stated that <br />stone and masonry work has been added to the base of the sign in attempt to tie into the aesthetics <br />of the building. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked the specific reason for requesting a 25-foot sign. <br />Mr. Tauscheck replied that the sign would be visible from the highway. He stated that when <br />possible, the company would like to maximize the visibility when adjacent a highway. <br />Planning Commission/ March 5, 2020 <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />
