Place Cal Pormer, Ci r Administrator
Action Requested
Approve, byT motion, a Conditional Use Permit amending the Planned
Unit Development Agreement for Barrington Place and allo`ving
freestanding signs up to 35-feet tall.
Background/Discussion
The propertyr is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) where
deviations from the size regulations (variance) require a Conditional
Use PeYmit (CUP) to amend the PUD agYeement The applicant has
Yequested an incYease to the height of the McDonalds fYeestanding sign
to 61 feet tall. The change is due to the recent access and visibilityr
changes resulting from the Highway 169 project.
Planning Commission
The Planning Commission discussed the Yequest during two sepaYate
meetings. The public hearing was held on NovembeY 28, 2023, wheYe
theyT continued their discussion to a later date and requested additional
research regarding recommendations for sign height based on the
speed of the adjacent Yoadway. Staff provided the commission with a
table from the Transportation Research Board which recommended a
sign height of 40-feet Staff recommended measuring the sign height
from the elevation of the mainline of the adjacent highway rather than
sign base.

This recommendation was reviewed during their December 19, 2023, meeting. The Commission felt the
Yecommendation of 40-feet was too high as the segment of Highway 169 neaY the subject sign had seen little
change to elevation or visibilityT because of the highway project The Commission, by a vote of 3-2, supported an
incYease in height fYom the current 30-foot limit to 35-feet.
Public Hearing
The applicant spoke during the public hearing on November 28, 2023, and requested, based on staff's
Yecommendation of 40-feet tall, approval of a sign height limit of 45-feet He noted that theYe is a fence along the

A resident from the neighborhood to the east of McDonalds also spoke during the public hearing. The�T
expressed concerns over the initial request for a 60-foot sign stating that it would be visible from their residential
propertyT and that they do not want to look up at a lighted sign. They were supportive of the proposed 40-foot

Action Requested
Recommend, byT motion, approval of the Conditional Use Permit amending the Planned Unit Development to
limit freestanding sign heigh to 40-feet above the adjacent mainline of HighwayT 169.
Background/Discussion
The Planning Commission reviewed this request during their November 28, 2023, regular meeting. Staff reviewed
the pYoposal and recommended incYeasing the peYmitted sign height to 30-feet above the gYade of the adjacent e�t
Yamp - an increase to appro�mately 41-feet.
The Commission held a public hearing where one resident spoke in opposition to the requested 61-foot sign due
to concerns `vith visibilinT in the nearb�T residential neighborhoods. The applicant also spoke and requested an
increase from the staff recommendation to at least 45-feet.
After receiving public comments, the chair closed the public hearing, and the Commission discussed the request.
The group ��as generally not supportive of the 61-foot request but agreed that additional sign height was
appropriate due to the access changes to Highwa�T 169. The Commission asked staff to complete additional
research regarding sign size

Updated.• January 2023
HighwayT 169 had been designed as a 55 MPH (�90 kph) corridor and according to the table requires a 40-foot (12
m) sign for oprimal visibility. This recommendation is in-line with recent discussions at the Planning Commission
regarding standards for the entire corridor.
Staff recommend increasing the permitted freestanding sign height in the Barrington Place PUD to 40-feet above
the adjacent grade of the mainline of HighwayT 169. Discussions for the rest of the corridor `vill continue, but the
location of the PUD supports this proposal.

■ Conditional Use Permit to amend the Planned Reviewed by
Unit Development Agreement to raise the
permitted sign height to 61 feet with electronic
messa in , Case No. CU 23-22
Action Requested
Recommend, byT motion, approval of a PUD amendment limiting the
freestanding sign height to 30 feet above the adjacent grade of Highway
169 (40-feet tall for current application).
Background/Discussion
The propertyr is zoned Planned Unit Development (PUD) where
changes to size regulations ("variances") require a Conditional Use
PeYmit (CUP) to amend the PUD agreement The applicant is seeking a
CUP to incYease the height of the McDonald's freestanding sign to 61
feet tall, due to the recent access and visibilityT changes resulting from
the High�uayr 169 project.
After receiving the application, and after the 169 corridor was opened
for use, staff revie�ved the visibilit�- of existing signs in the areas �vhere
construction has been completed. The visibilit�- of the subject sign has
not changed `vhile driving northbound, but southbound visibility has
been limited due to the School Street overpass. The sign is still visible
north of the pedestrian overpass (about 1/3 mile awayr) prioY to the e�t
to School Street.

Although the School Street (bridge) has a greater elevation than it did
Figure I
prior to the construction, the visiblyr to the sign from Highway 169,
approximately a half mile away, has not changed as that portion of highway is the same elevation. The pole
structure is obstructed but the actual sign at the top can still be seen.
The adjacent Yamp is at an elevation of 922 feet, the sign is at 912 feet, and the maiul.iue highwayr is 913 feet Staff
proposes basing the sign height off the elevation of HighwayT 169. E�sting signage along this corridor was limited
to 30 feet prior to construction, and the recommended change would app1�T that same height standard, but base if
off of the adjacent highwa�r elevation. Applying that standard to this application, the sign height limit would be at
an elevation of 952 feet or 40 feet tall. This is 30 feet above the ramp and 39 feet above the main line.

Update�l• January 2023
Staff agree that additional sign height should be considered, but a standard along the corridor should be
established. As visibilityT to the sign, at distances `vhen a decision to e�t is required, has not been significantly
impacted, staff recommend the sign height be limited to 30 feet above the adjacent roadwayT grade. This standard
would be a precedent for future ordinance amendments, variances, and PUD amendments along HighwayT 169.
Applicable Regulations
In approving a Conditional Use Permit, the council mayT impose such specific conditions with regard to the
development or operation of the proposed use as it considers necessar�T to satisf�T the seven standards set forth in
Section 30-654 and the requirements contained in this article and to promote compatibilit�T with and minimize anyT
potentiallyT adverse effects upon adjacent properties, the neighborhood or the cityT.

health, safety, yno�als, coynfo�fi, convenience o��gene�al ���elfa�e of tbe neigbl�o�hood oT• tbe city.
Allo�ving an increased sign height will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyTment of
other property in the immediate vicinityT or the public health, safetyT, morals, comfort, convenience, or
general �velfare of the neighborhood or the cityT.
Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfyT this standard.

Public Hearin - November 28 2023
g �
■ A resident spoke and stated the requested 61-foot sign was too
tall. They did not want to see the sign from their backyard.
■ Supported staff's recommendation of 40-feet.
■ The applicant spoke and requested a minimum of 45-feet as
there is a fence along the top of the bridge which may impact
visibility of a shorter sign.
■ Commission requested a information on standard sign height
recommendations based on vehicle speed and continued
discussion to December 19, 2023.
Plannin Commission
g
■ Staff's research found a recommendation from the
Transportation Research Board, which recommends a 40-foot
sign for visibility along a 55-mph corridor.
■ The planning commission reviewed this information and made
a recommendation to amend the PUD to permit signs of up to
35-feet tall.
■ The commis sion was concerned with visibility from
adjacent residential areas and "sign pollution."
Action Re uested
q
■ Approve, by motion, the PUD amendment, permitting signs at
35-feet above the adjacent grade of Highway 169.
■ Providing the current applicant with a 35-foot-tall sign.
