Conflict of Interest and Disclosure: None. Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Johnstone provided the following summary:  An application to amend the final planned unit development (PUD) development plan for the Village Shops at Colony Square in regards to their sign package.  The original final PUD approved in August 1999 did not address the sign program. A subsequent PUD was approved in December 1999 to authorize a fairly specific sign program for the project, as well as approve a special review use for several restaurants. The package defined a series of sign design criteria, as well as specific sign locations on each building. A small project monument sign was approved at the Dillon Road entry drive.  Many of the sign criteria were stricter than the Commercial Development Design Standards and Guidelines (CDDSG), with the intent to create a high quality community image at this gateway location.  The owners and tenants in the project have expressed concern that the signage is inadequate to provide the necessary visibility from Dillon and McCaslin.  In 2002 and 2003, Tokyo Joe’s Restaurant, on behalf of the ownership received approval for modifications to the sign criteria that loosened the design criteria and authorized a project identification (ID) sign on the plaza tower feature that faces McCaslin. The project ID sign proposed to identify the project name, but not individual tenants.
