He provid ed background information on how this si gn req ues t ca m e about. He referenced a proposed sign design and location which was included in th e packet. Commission Discussion Points: • Th e sign is not appropriate for Broadway. Some type of signage is necessa ry, but not what is proposed . • Sign should show eve nts as well as be way finding. • Concern that the way th e proposed sign code amendments are written is that City Counci l can do anything beyond what anybody else can do . This is not th e m essage the City should be sending with the sign code. • What is proposed is too big and not appropriate. • Acceptable signage should be smaller, displaying City events and specific businesses.
