Chris Leeseberg,Park Planner—Planner Case No. CU 13-14 Action Requested Recommend, by motion, approval of the amendment to the Hillside Crossing II Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow freestanding signs up to 25 feet tall with the following conditions. 1.

Replace plant materials to comply with the landscape plan by July 31,2014. 3. Repair parking lot, to include filling potholes and restriping the parking stalls as needed by July 31, 2014.

The applicant states that the additional height will give them the visibility needed to continue successful operations. They have also completed a remodel to remain updated and competitive. The proposed changes to the PUD are a continuation of this investment. The Hillside Crossing II PUD is located along Highway 169 and the location is similar to other commercial properties zoned C-3 Highway Commercial. Businesses in the C-3 zoning district are permitted freestanding signs up to 30 feet in height and 150 square feet in area. The existing Harley Davidson monument sign,north of Culvers,is 10 feet tall and the nearby freestanding Menards sign is 35 feet tall.
