Code Amendment to City Sign Code to Create a New Sign District for Professional Office Complexes (ordinance attached; background informa- tion distributed) Mr. Gleason introduced Mr. Croteau. Mr. Croteau said that the Planning Commis- sion had voted unanimously to recommend to the council that a new sign district be established to be available to large office complexes located in the RP zone adjacent to residential areas. He said that such complexes are currently allowed one overall identity sign and that this sign must be 32 square feet or less and must be wall-mounted. He said that the new district would allow one overall identity sign, which could be freestanding or wall-mounted, as well as wall-mounted identity signs located adjacent to each business within the com- plex. These smaller signs would be limited to 12 square feet each. e Councilor Wooten asked whether there is a demonstrated need for this new dis- trict. Mr. Croteau responded that there has been such a need, particularly in the rountry Club Road area and in the area of Delta Highway and Valley River Way. He said that currently a variance would be needed to permit signing for individual businesses in these and similar areas. He said that the Planning Commission had felt that it was better to deal with this on a legislative basis rather than through repeated variances. Public hearing was opened. There being no public testimony, public hearing was closed.
