Planned Unit Development and a Site Plan for this development, allowing for the construction of a four (4) story multi -family senior living facility. This approval did not include signs. A Condition of Approval was included in the City Council's approval that required a separate sign permit for all proposed signage and for all signage to meet the requirements of Sign District 4. The Conditions of Approval also required the Applicant to provide City staff with written approval from Bethel University, the owner of Outlot A, permitting the construction of the proposed monument sign on Bethel's property. In a letter dated September 27, 2021, the Applicant agreed to forego the right to an individual monument sign on Outlot A to be part of a multi -tenant sign with Bethel University. The multi -tenant sign has since been constructed and is currently located on Outlot A, where Pine Tree Drive meets the access road to New Perspective Senior Living and Bethel University's Anderson Center. The location of existing multi -tenant monument sign and the three proposed signs is shown below. The Applicant originally submitted an application for an Amendment to the approved Planned Unit Development on November 21, 2022. At their meeting on December 7, 2022, the Planning Commission reviewed this application and voted to recommend approval with conditions. The Planning Commission added the following conditions to the conditions of approval recommended by city staff: 4) The Planning Commission recommends approval of signs 1, 3 and 4 and recommends denial of sign 2 due to the location as prohibited under the city code requesting the applicant prepare alternate options for a wall sign that is suited to the size of the building, location, and design that will enhance the area, and be consistent with the architecture of the building, or consideration of a freestanding sign. 5) Regarding Sign 1, the applicant shall provide a base that extends up the sides of the sign base to meet City Code material design standards in Sign District 4. In response to these conditions of approval, the Applicant submitted an updated sign plan on January 25, 2023. In this updated plan, the Applicant proposes a smaller wall sign (Sign 2) with an updated design and the location is no longer on the roof of the New Perspective Building. The updated plan also proposes a monument sign (Sign 1) that provides a base which extends up the sides of the sign to meet City Code material design standards. /'O i New Perspective Sign Locations 1.
