City Council Meeting Minutes May 2, 2023 Page 3 of 8 Katie Beasley, Senior Services Supervisor, reviewed some of the events the Senior Center is doing in celebration this month. Motion: Mayor Pro Tem Fahey moved the proclamation be approved; seconded by Councilmember Leh. Vote: All in favor RESOLUTION NO. 25, SERIES 2023 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AMENDED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR SIGN WAIVERS FOR SPEEDY SPARKLE CAR WASH, LOCATED AT 1414 HECLA WAY, LOT 6, LOUISVILLE PLAZA FILING NO. 2 Community Development Director Zuccaro stated this application was originally heard by the Planning Commission in early 2020. Due to the pandemic, the applicant did not want to move forward utilizing electronic meetings, so the application is coming before Council now. The sign code was amended in 2019, after the applicants submitted their original application, so the criteria used will be the code they applied under and not the amended sign code. Director Zuccaro shared a site plan of existing and proposed signage. The business has been in operation for several years, and they did add some directory signs that will require waivers. They want to install a secondary sign on Hecla. This sign was previously approved but never installed. The code says there can only be one monument sign, so this would be their second and would require a waiver. The menu board sign is translucent so that would also need a waiver. Planning Commission did recommend approval with some conditions and those conditions have been met. Mayor Pro Tern Fahey asked about the sign proposed on Hecla. Director Zuccaro said this is a wayfinding sign; it identifies where customers are coming into the car wash. Councilmember Hamlington asked if there are any requirements in the code for the canopy sign and if it can be lit at night. Director Zuccaro stated these types of signs are allowed. The City does not have time restrictions or time illumination in the sign code. Public Comments Diane Shepherd, Louisville, stated new development should consider dark skies illumination. She is not sure how that is addressed in the code now, but it is important to a lot of residents. Mayor Maloney asked Director Zuccaro to address the speaker's concerns regarding lighting. Director Zuccaro stated that whole cabinet can't be illuminated and for externally lit signs only down lighting, not up lighting, is allowed.
