The Planning Commission has begun <br /> reviewing this draft, holding its public hearing on October 8. The issue of signage in the downtown <br /> district has received special interest from the business community during this review,in particular, free <br /> standing and electronic changeable copy signs. The Decklan Group,representing Granite Shores,has also <br /> submitted a suggestion for a new sign type in the downtown, see attachment. <br /> In staff's opinion, freestanding and changeable copy signs drastically impact the neighborhood character <br /> of the downtown district. Staff seeks Heritage Preservation Commission thoughts on the subject prior to <br /> finalizing the text. The Planning Commission will receive any HPC comments during their workshop, <br /> scheduled for October 22. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> • Planning Commission packet dated October 8, 2013 <br /> • Decklan Group proposal <br />
