 Aye: 9- Athanikar, Fessler, Habel, Hanson, Losurdo, McDaniel, Richelia, Robbins, and Van

2. Provide feedback on staff’s interpretation of Municipal Code Section 6-16-5 pertaining to
 commercial wall signage
 Gabrielle Mattingly, Planning Services Team, provided a presentation
 requesting feedback from the PZC on staff’s interpretation of Municipal
 Code Section 6-16-5 pertaining to commercial wall signage. Ms. Mattingly
 explained that staff is looking for a consensus amongst the Commission as
 to whether painted facades or accent materials applied to facades which
 are representative of a commercial business should continue to be
 included in the calculation of wall signage allowances.

 The Commission discussed staff’s interpretation and the applicability of the
 Design guidelines. The Commission raised concern that a change to the
 interpretation may lead to a myriad of bright colors throughout the City,
 particularly within the Downtown, and requested bright colors continue to be
 limited in application. The Commission further explained that façade
 updates of individual tenants within shopping centers should be cohesive in
 terms of style and color with the entire center. Ms. Mattingly responded that
 the Downtown Design Standards and Citywide Design Guidelines will
 continue to be enforced and noted these guidelines limit the use of bright
 colors as accents and require neutral colors to be used as the primary
 base color. The Commission unanimously agreed that staff’s interpretation
 of the code can be broadened.
