Title

Staff Updates.

 

Body

Action Requested:                     

The HPC will receive updates from city staff.

 

Summary Report:

Under the updated sign regulations in the land development code, city staff approved two Certificates of Appropriateness for signs in the H-O district.

 

The first was for The Robin’s Egg awning sign. This application was tabled pending the changes to the sign regulations that permitted signs to be printed on the angled face of awnings.

 

The second was for Kid's Content. This proposal was previously denied due to using more than two colors in the font. The updated regulations allowed the applicant to reapply and receive a COA.

 

Details for both are included as attachments.

 

The Comprehensive Plan is nearing its completion. Please find the attached draft for review and provide any comments to staff.
