Request
As a result of the direction given to staff by the City Council at the October 20, 2003
meeting, staff met with the Peter Beck, City Attorney, to investigate the issues regarding off
premise signage. It was concluded that this particular sign could be categorized as an area
idmtification sign per neighb:nhtnd as indicated in Section 30-1024 (c) (2) (b). It was concluded
that this specific area was easily definable as a neighborhood.
Given that this signage falls within the accessory use section of the C-3 zoning district, this
request is no longer a variance request and a permit will be processed administratively.
