A business within the PUD has requested modifications to the signage standards <br />applicable to that district. As the PUD functions as its own zoning district, amendments are made on an <br />individual basis. Similar signage amendments have been made for multiple commercial PUDs in the past, <br />as this is a standard process. While rezoning to a commercial district such as C-3 would simplify the <br />process, each PUD has unique signage considerations that do not always align with standard zoning <br />regulations. Addressing these modifications through an ordinance amendment allows for more precise <br />review and integration into the city code. DRAFTPage 7 of 55
