Mr. Benoliel, representing the Benaroya Company, showed pictures
of the Doces complex due to open in July. The tenants need
to know what they can have for signs so they can be ordered
prior to the opening. He proposed the owner of the complex be
responsible for determining which tenants can have signs. They
would like to have credit for keeping the signs off the side of
the building and putting them in front of the building. He
said they would be willing to draft and enter into a property use
and development agreement with the City.
Deputy City Attorney Carlsen said something needs to be done.
The Benaroya Company is taking a risk. The City would not be
locked into anything by entering into the agreement.
Brad Collins said he would suggest the problem of Section
19.32.150 be relieved. He suggested the title read: "Shopping
Center Mall Planned." The signs placed on the building would
be required to meet the 6% limit. The exposed building face
could be redefined. Another suggestion is that the language be
the way it used to be: "shall be submitted to the Planning
Commission."
Mr. Collins suggested that Section 19.32.150 have the 6% limit
or sign be limited by Planning Commission approval where they
could redefine exposed building face. The sign should be in
relation to size of building it is placed on.
Council President Bohrer requested that Planning staff draft
the recommendation they have presented.
Council President Bohrer said a Special Meeting would be held
on June 29, 1982 at 7:00 p.m. to continue discussion of the
Sign Code.
MOVED BY HILL, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE MEETING ADJOURN. MOTION CARRIED.
