City Council Meeting Minutes December 1, 2015 Page 8 of 20 signage on a case -by -case basis. He would support reviewing the Industrial Signage Guidelines. He voiced his support for the project. Council member Keany supported the proposal for the climbing gym and the brew pub. He supported the large graphic without the lettering. He felt it would add character to the building, but not detract from the rest of the industrial park. Council member Stolzmann addressed the process and felt an ordinance should have been brought before Council to create a use group before this application went forward. She did not believe the use group fit the description described by staff. She felt it could be defined as indoor amusement. She noted all 5 criteria of the SRU have been met including the sign waiver criteria. Since the wall is so large, the logo minimizes the size of the building. She considered the application as an indoor amusement establishment. She hoped staff would bring back an ordinance for recreational facilities within the industrial zone. She stated she understood the financial constraints, but liked the glass in the entry way as originally proposed. Mayor Muckle voiced his excitement over the project and appreciation for the design and the energy efficiency. He agreed it could be passed as a commercial for entertainment. He would support the sign as proposed and the approval of the project. He noted the CTC Owners Association will have the final say. Council member Leh stated when he was on Planning Commission they reviewed many proposals at CTC. He felt it would be a wonderful addition to the City. He supported Council member Keany's suggestion to allow the graphic but not the lettering. He supported changes to the Industrial Signage Guidelines. Council member Loo agreed with other Council members comments. She liked the sign and considered the logo as art. She stated there is some precedence for such a sign when Council approved a similar request for a proposed art facility off Highway 42. She was in favor of keeping the logo as proposed. If Council approves the signage the CTC Owners Association may still disapprove such signage. City Attorney Light addressed the CTC Owners Association approval or disapproval and explained the general understanding of the covenants is compliance. He explained there may be a covenants and a review process by the CTC design group. Council member Loo stated she liked the design, but surrounding businesses may not. She did not want to approve the signage without the neighboring businesses support as a condition of approval. Mayor Muckle supported conditioning the approval based on the CTC Owners Association approval.
