Staff recommended approval of <br /> the request with the 8 conditions listed in the staff report. <br /> Commissioner Konietzko asked how the 5-minute display time requirement was established. <br /> Mr. Carlton stated that the Heritage Preservation Commission did support fast- <br /> changing/fast-scrolling or flashing"Vegas" type signage. Staff felt the 5-minute requirement <br /> would be appropriate to mitigate the Heritage Preservation Commission's concerns,while <br /> still permitting the sign. Commissioner Konietzko asked if other cities have this <br /> requirement. Mr. Carlton stated that when staff wrote the digital changeable copy sign <br /> ordinance, staff based it on what many other cities had (the 8 seconds standard). He stated <br /> that the 5-minute requirement is based on the unique environment in the Downtown <br /> • District, as compared with the C3 or II type districts. <br />
