Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 11, 2019 <br />Page 4 of 10 <br />Zuccaro observed that sandwich boards could bring character to an area, but they had <br />to be done right. He asked for commissioner comment on sandwich boards outside of <br />downtown. <br />Brauneis and Hoefner noted that some existing signs were not of high quality. <br />Ritchie replied that there were standards for the design of sandwich boards and no <br />plastic boards or letters were permitted. <br />Rice asked if there was a model community for regulating sandwich boards. <br />Zuccaro noted that staff had looked into other communities. The proposed language <br />made it explicit how much sidewalk space had to be left unencumbered, what materials <br />the sandwich boards could be, and how far the boards could be from the business in an <br />effort to reduce clutter. <br />Howe stated that he was sympathetic with the alleyway issue, but also with the tenants <br />who were paying a premium to be on Main Street. He advocated for linking the signs <br />with the businesses spatially, especially since more clutter diluted the ability of other <br />businesses to advertise. <br />Murals outside of downtown <br />Rice suggested having more regulations and standards for murals since murals could <br />be bad. <br />Ritchie replied that the permitting process would ensure that there would be no <br />commercial elements embedded in the art since that would be regulated under different <br />criteria. Staff did not want to get into regulating artistic design. <br />Zuccaro noted that the City already allowed murals. The only thing that was changing <br />downtown was the allowed size. <br />Moline asked if the proposed language would allow someone downtown to do an entire <br />side. <br />Ritchie replied that someone could cover the sides and the back of their buildings, just <br />not on the front. <br />Hoefner supported keeping it artistically open and observed that tenants with financial <br />interests in a building would not support a bad mural. <br />Howe asked if there were a board that could evaluate the murals. <br />Zuccaro replied that public murals could go through a review process, but private artistic <br />endeavors could not be regulated the same way. <br />Hoefner noted that RiNo in Denver had a number of cool murals that had helped to put <br />the neighborhood on the map. <br />6 <br />
