Mr. Rohlf stated that the City Council had previously approved changes to Assembly of God's conditional use permit, but that the issue of lighting of the wall signage with neon had been tabled until a full Council was present. Mr. Rohlf further stated the Council must determine whether or not neon lighting of the 96 square foot wall sign would meet the seven stipulations required for approval of a conditional use permit. The Building and Zoning Administrator explained that the lighted sign would be on the east side of the building facing Highway 169, and that homes in the adjacent area are to the north, south, and west.
