AGENDA ITEM – 1A <br />DATE: December 1, 2014 <br /> <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Patrick Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Ryan Streff, City Planner <br />Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: TCAAP Zoning – Sign Standards <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The City Council previously discussed Chapter 11 (Sign Standards) of the TCAAP <br />Redevelopment Code (TRC) at their Work Session Meeting on October 20, 2014. Gateway <br />Planning has made revisions based on these comments and a red-lined copy of Chapter 11 is <br />included in Attachment A. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion <br /> <br />Permitted Sign Types <br />At the meeting on October 20, 2014, the City Council provided staff with direction that roof <br />signs, streaming and video signs, and any signs that use non-shielded LED lights should be <br />prohibited in the TRC. Additionally, the Council removed building projecting signs as a <br />permitted sign type in the Flex Office district and marquee signs as a permitted sign type in the <br />Campus Commercial and Office Mixed-Use districts. Gateway Planning has made revisions to <br />restrict these specific sign types. <br /> <br />The Council requested that temporary and permanent pole-mounted menu signs be included as a <br />permitted sign type in the TRC. Revisions to the TRC have been made to include this type of <br />sign under the same category used for sandwich board signs (Section 11.14). <br /> <br />Dimensional Standards <br />The City Council determined that the highway monument sign type should not be permitted for <br />properties with Highway 96 frontages and that different standards should be developed for <br />monuments signs on this roadway. Staff evaluated the permitted dimensions for corridor <br />monument signs and felt that this sign type would be appropriate along Highway 96. Therefore, a <br /> <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />
