Paul Wood reported on the information that was discussed during the afternoon session of the workshop. 2. Staff Introduction - Off-Premise Monument Signs Paul Wood explained that when City Council approved Ordinance 1499, Series 2006, amending the Louisville Municipal Code and the Commercial Development Design Standards & Guidelines, there was a request to provide a process by which a commercial/retail off-premise sign application might be reviewed by the City. The City Attorney drafted an amended ordinance which would allow an applicant to request an off-premise sign through the PUD process. Council expressed concern for the 25' maximum height, as well as the 200 sf sign area. They discussed limitations to the approval process, to prevent unintended consequences of approving the amended ordinance. Mayor Pro Tem Brown suggested contacting the businesses along US 36/McCaslin who have expressed an interest in installing off-premise signs to see what type of signage they would like to pursue, and work with them to see if a compromise could be reached.
