Susan Istenes provided the following information from staff’s report: the proposed sign sub- district was first presented to the Architectural Review Board at the June 4, 2018 meeting. During the meeting there was a lengthy discussion about visualizing the proposed signage on the approved and future buildings. The request was continued to allow the applicant time to prepare additional plans and renderings of the proposed signage. The applicant has not made any changes to the content of the sign sub-district plan; however, some pages were re-ordered and items were clarified based on previous staff recommendations. The staff report is mostly the same as the previous report {refer to the meeting minutes of 6/4 for a copy of the full staff report}. Blade signs are no longer listed as an option for tenants, which removes the sign option perpendicular to facades. This change was not previously recommended by staff and tenant blade signs were a supported option. Pedestrian oriented signage is being promoted in the Downtown area and staff recommends adding a blade sign as a retail option. The interior graphic was originally included as an option for the specific corner tenant only but is not a potential option for other tenant spaces. Staff recognizes that this option could result in creative advertising, but with such vague regulations it is hard to predict was the results will be. Staff recommends that all interior graphic signs require Architectural Review Board approval prior to a Sign Permit. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions:

replacement signs prior to installation.
