<br />91 <br />92 Commission members engaged in a conversation regarding light impacts and whether externally lit static <br />93 billboards were more or less disruptive than dynamic billboards, which are internally lit, wondering if any <br />94 formal studies examined this issue. Staff and the applicant answered questions regarding the difference <br />95 between foot-candle and nit light/illumination measurements but stated unawareness of such studies or <br />96 if they were even possible or practical. <br />97 <br />98 In an effort to address the Planning Commission’s concerns about lighting impacts, the applicant has <br />99 provided additional information to help illustrate the impacts of a lit static billboard compared to a <br />100 dynamic display billboard. Those materials are provided as Attachment 5. Clear Channel's original <br />101 application materials are provided as Attachment 7. <br />102 <br />103 Beyond light/illumination concerns, the Commission discussed the height requirements and suggested a <br />104 rewording to ensure the 35-foot height standard was measured at grade and that there was no ability to <br />105 increase the height above 35 feet. City Planner Paschke suggested a language revision, which the <br />106 Commission accepted and was included in the eventual motion. That language in reflected in this staff <br />107 report and the attached draft ordinance being considered. <br />108 <br />109 The Planning Commission voted 3-2 (Commissioners Bjorum, Kruzel, and Chair Pribyl voting in favor <br />110 and Commissioners McGehee and Aspnes voting against) to recommend the City Council approve the <br />111 zoning code text amendments to §1010.02 Definitions, §1010.03.C Prohibited Signs, §1010.03.D Non- <br />112 Conforming Signs, and §1010.10 Dynamic Displays as outlined in the Ordinance, including the amended <br />113 language concerning height. <br />114 <br />115 Requested Council Action <br />116 By motion, adopt the ordinance provided as Attachment 6, amending City Code §1010.02 <br />117 Definitions, §1010.03.C Prohibited Signs, §1010.03.D Non-Conforming Signs, and §1010.10 Dynamic <br />118 Displays. <br />119 <br />120 <br />Thomas Paschke, City Planner <br />Prepared by: <br />1.
