Max Baker, Planning Intern, Department of Community Development asked the Commissioners
the appearance of fairness questions. There were no disclosures from the Commissioners.
Max Baker gave an overview of the project utilizing a PowerPoint presentation. He said, the
applicant is requesting approval of the project with the following three modifications under the
Master Sign Program:
• Allow two of their existing monument signs as grand monument signs. This would permit
the two existing grand monument signs to be considered conforming signs.
• Installation of one monument sign that does not comply with the standard "width"
requirement of 15 feet allowed under TMC 19.20.040 (4)), to allow a width of 16 feet.
• Flush mounted wall signs up to six percent of the exposed building face, up to a
maximum of 250 square feet.
The three proposed modifications will not meet the criteria unless approved under the Master
Sign Program.

Program.

BAR Public Hearing Minutes
August 28, 2014
Matt Barker, Shopping Center Property Manager, for the applicant, gave the presentation. Mr.
Barker stated that they would like to keep their existing signs and use them under the Master
Sign Program. Approval of the proposal would prevent them from the additional expense of
replacing their signs, which would be required in a few years under the new code. He also said,
the anchor tenants have spent millions of dollars to create their brand images, and the smaller
tenants would be able to maintain their present signs. And the signs will keep consistency on the
property.
There was no further testimony.
The public hearing was closed.
The BAR deliberated.
Commissioner Hansen asked staff to clarity if the Commission would be approving the
applicant for a Master Sign Program. Staff said the Commission would be approving a Master
Sign Program to be permitted for the property, unless there are changes to the code in the future.
Commissioner Hansen made a motion to approve Case Number L14 -0042,
Master Sign Program.
Commissioner Hansen modified his motion to approve Case Number L14 -0042,
for the Master Sign Program with staff's finding, recommendations and approval of the three
modifications to the Sign Code, Commissioner Alford seconded the motion. All were in favor.
