SUMMARY:
This item was discussed during the City Council Work Session held on July 19, 2017.
On April 26, 2017, staff presented to City Council the case of a submittal for a building permit proposing the construction of a sign on the front of the building that would extend above the roof line. Such sign above the roof line is not permitted under the standards and criteria for permanent on-site signage as established in Table No. 16 of Chapter 152 of the City Code of the City of San Luis. Staff believes the current standards are appropriate to maintain proper esthetic standards which will enhance and preserve economic values in the City. Yet, on a case by case basis may be too restrictive and that sometimes may impede economic development. Using the procedure of a conditional use permit will allow the City to be certain that the use will be appropriate.
City Council agreed and instructed staff as a matter of policy to proceed with a staff-initiated amendment to the Zoning Regulations of the City of San Luis to amend Section 152.262 of the City Code of the City of San Luis to allow deviation from the standards and criteria of Table No. 16 by conditional use permit. This is the staff-initiated text amendment to the Zoning Regulations. On the meeting of July 11, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the proposed text amendment.
