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 area 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 to a highway. <br /> Planning Commission/March 5, 2020 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br />
