Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April; 10, 2014 <br />Page 9of 37 <br />Staff Recommendations: <br />Staff recommends approval of the PUD allowing these three signs with theone <br />condition as mentioned. <br />Commission Questions of Staff: <br />Rice says he understands that normally this building would be allowed one monument <br />sign. <br />Robinson says that is the basic standard in the IDDSG forone monument sign per <br />project. <br />Rice says thatone vehicle to get more signs is to make it into a PUD. <br />Robinson says generally all commercial developments are governed by a PUD. This <br />was actually built before that requirement came in so that is the only reason it doesn’t <br />have a PUD. If this buildingwere being built today, it would be required to have a PUD. <br />Rice says that when it gets into the PUD process, then the sign standards change. <br />Robinson says they are allowed to be modified by the Planning Commission and City <br />Council through the PUD process. <br />Rice asks about the first monument sign, thenif we were back to just one sign, itwould <br />be within all the code requirements. <br />Robinson says that if they were just requesting this one sign, they would not be here <br />tonight. <br />Rice asks that we are moving toward the PUD process because of the second <br />directional sign and the third sign in lieu of a wall sign. If we took that same sign and put <br />it on the wall of the building, would it comply with all the standards in terms of size, <br />lettering, and all? <br />Robinsonsays yes. <br />Rice asks thenthe only different thing here is that they have bumped it out a few feet. <br />Robinson says yes. <br />Rice says his question is,are there comparables here where we done this before where <br />people have moved into a PUD process inorderto gain additional signs? <br />Robinson says yes, we have done PUB amendments before when applicants have <br />come in requesting more signs than they were initially allowed or when new buildings <br />come in. Sometimes applicants will ask for more signs than are allowed regularly under <br />the standards.As they are building the project, they are allowed more signs. <br />Rice says then there is precedence for doing it that way. He asks because he is new to <br />the Commission so he is trying to catch up with some of the history. <br /> <br />
