Ms. Cartney noted that issue for the applicant is visibility. She reviewed the PUD standards and the requested deviation. Ms. Cartney reviewed a possible alternative to allow a second sign as a development identification sign. She stated staff cannot support the request due to the Council's recent action of moratorium on advertising signs and changeable copy signs. Chair Lemke opened the public hearing.
