sign is to be an identification sign for the apartment or condominium complex, as the applicant indicated at the meeting that is what they are asking for, then it cannot advertise anything off premise nor can it advertise any of the retail/commercial businesses on site. Further,it is not a question if a sign is a good idea, the question is did staff incorrectly apply the ordinance to a building permit application. If a sign is simply a `good idea', then the Commission should deny the appeal and recommend the Council adopt an ordinance amendment to allow signs in the downtown district,with appropriate standards and criteria. Two other people spoke in favor of the sign in downtown. There was discussion by the Commission if they should move the request on to the Council with a denial or to postpone it to receive more information. The applicant stated they would rather have it postponed a month for the BOA to make the right decision versus sending it to the city council with a denial. The BOA postponed their action until the August BOA meeting. At the time this memo and attachments was processed for the BOA, the applicant indicated there was not anything they need added to the packet for the BOA to review.
