1. A 10 sq. ft. variance for size of a storage building, code permits 150 sq. ft., applicant <br />shows 160 sq. ft., Section 1135.02(C)(2). <br />Motion passed 4-0. <br />COMMUNICATIONS <br />Sian Code Update <br />Ms. Lieber reviewed the major changes to the sign code. The goal was to make the application of <br />signage more flexible for businesses without increasing the overall amount of permitted signage. <br />The height and square footage limit was removed to allow square footage based only on the <br />lineal footage of building frontage. The business can use the signage allowance in any they <br />would like based on their needs, which should reduce the amount of variances requested. Two <br />types of signs were added: drive-through facility signs and driveway signs. Drive-through <br />facility signs include clearance bars, menu signage, speaker boxes and other signage needed for <br />drive-throughs. Driveway signs are permitted for drive-throughs and businesses with limited <br />access. The content of the new signage will not be reviewed but allows additional signage for <br />specific property uses. Limited digital sign face will be permitted for ground and drive-through <br />facility signs. Ground sign digital messaging can be no more than 50% of the sign and is limited <br />to one color copy on a dark background and cannot change more than four times per day. <br />Daytime and nighttime illumination standards were included to make sure they do not become a <br />nuisance to neighboring properties. The limit of signage per lot was removed because it was <br />difficult and burdensome for plaza tenants and staff to calculate. A temporary sign policy was <br />also implemented for businesses to use during the pandemic but will expire once the state <br />limitations are over. Mr. Papotto thought the changes will help the community and businesses <br />and Mr. Allain thanked staff for their hard work getting the update completed. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Mr. Papotto moved, seconded by Mr. Mackey, to excuse the absence of Mr. Rahm, motion <br />passed 4-0. <br />With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:24 p.m. <br />Enc Allain, C)�air <br />Approved: 3I1 I ?A <br />II <br />Nicole Rambo -Ackerman, Administrative <br />Assistant <br />
