COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> 7.01: Provide Direction for Modifications to Armstrong Boulevard Interchange District <br /> Modifications <br /> Presentation <br /> Planning Manager Larson presented the Staff Report noting that the Commission should provide <br /> staff with direction to bring an ordinance forward with a public hearing on June 23ra <br /> Commission Business <br /> Chairperson Bauer commented on the difficulties experienced by businesses from the Armstrong <br /> interchange project, some of them going out of business, he would support changes that would <br /> help businesses with little to no cost. He commented that he would support administrative <br /> approvals and perhaps waiving permit costs, in order to be proactive and help those businesses that <br /> will be impacted by a two-year construction project. <br /> Commissioner Gengler asked if the overlay would dictate types of signs. <br /> Senior Planner Anderson commented that it would fall under the same guidelines as ground signs. <br /> He commented that any ground sign could have a dynamic display. He believed that a decorative <br /> base is currently required up to six feet in height that is compatible with the building finish, which <br /> is different than the normal ground sign regulations. <br /> Commissioner Gengler asked for a comparison or example of a 150 square foot sign. <br /> Planning Manager Larson replied that would equate to 10 by 15 feet and provided an example. <br /> Chairperson Bauer asked if there were businesses that applied for larger signs during the <br /> Armstrong project. <br /> Planning Manager Larson confirmed that there were three larger signs, all multiple tenant signs. <br /> Chairperson Bauer asked if there would be a way to include a larger allowance for multiple tenant <br /> signs as well so that those could be approved administratively at a lower cost. <br /> Planning Manager Larson confirmed that could be done. <br /> Planning Commission/May 26, 2022 <br /> Page 17 of 20 <br />
