Senior Planner Martin provided some examples of signs that would seem to be applicable within <br />the COR for the six-foot maximum. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that the maximum height for a ground sign could be six feet <br />where the maximum height for a pylon sign could be 25 feet. <br />Senior Planner Martin asked if the Commission preferred the term ground sign or monument sign, <br />noting that pylon and monument are the most commonly used terms in the sign industry. <br />Chairperson Gengler confirmed the consensus of the Commission to use monument sign rather <br />than ground sign. <br />Commissioner Hunt asked if 25 feet would be the maximum for pylon signs. <br />Senior Planner Martin commented that staff can review that and propose an appropriate height for <br />the next review. <br />Commissioner Bauer recalled a time when there was strong enforcement related to temporary signs <br />within the right-of-way, but noted that this year there appeared to be many violations. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that the Council direction to staff has changed to complaint <br />based and staff has not received many complaints. <br />Commissioner Bauer commented that the Riverstone HOA developed its own sign rules and <br />provided input on those regulations. <br />Senior Planner Martin commented that currently a permit is required for temporary signs, but it is <br />rare that someone actually comes in for that permit. <br />Commissioner Bauer referenced the time restrictions, which would allow the nonstandard <br />temporary signs for a total of four weeks per year, but one week at a time. He stated that in the <br />case of a new business, one week would seem a bit restrictive. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that restriction is for this specific type of sign, but a now open <br />banner attached to the building would be allowed for a longer period. <br />Commissioner Bauer stated that he would support allowing one of these more eye-catching types <br />of signage for more than one week at a time for a new business. <br />Chairperson Gengler asked if the one -week periods can be consecutive. <br />Senior Planner Martin replied that his interpretation is that the one -week periods would be four <br />separate instances. He used the example of a new car dealership that had special sales during the <br />year and perhaps used an inflatable type of sign to catch attention during those sales. <br />Planning Commission/ November 21, 2024 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />
