Larg Griggs, planning department staff, said the work will restore the top of the building and replace temporary plywood and mesh that had been installed after pieces had fallen from the facade: “They're going in and they're going to be making it look like it used to look. So that is extremely exciting.” Griggs also noted the business had opened a second location in Norman on Main Street.

Staff noted there are several items scheduled for next month's agenda and that Kayla will be available. No formal votes or public-comments were recorded on these communications.

Larg Griggs, planning department staff, described the application as a one-for-one replacement: “they're proposing to replace them with the exact same size, and they want EMD3, which is, fully digital.” Griggs said the district requires EMD signs of 25 square feet or larger to go before the relevant design-review body; staff reviewed the request and recommended approval.

Griggs said he visited the site on a game day and observed strong attendance and pedestrian movement around the ballpark. An individual identified as Abulcan attended to answer questions, Griggs said. No members of the public addressed the commission on this item. A commission member moved to approve the application “on the basis that the project complies with the regulations and guidelines of the Bricktown Core Development District Zoning Ordinance as referenced in section c of the staff report,” a second commissioner seconded, and the motion passed.

Commissioners did not record an individual roll-call vote in the public transcript; no conditions or amendments were stated on the record.","The Downtown Design Commission approved replacement of three existing EMD Level 2 signs at Bricktown Ballpark with same-size EMD3 (fully digital) displays; staff said the change is a like-for-like swap and recommended approval.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6115147,"Downtown Design Commission approves new sign at 401 N.

Larg Griggs, planning department staff, told commissioners the downtown design district requires that “all signs, 100 square foot or larger in downtown, has to come before the commission,” and that the city’s sign-code calculation caps any single building’s allowance at 400 square feet. Griggs said staff added the proposed new sign to the building’s existing signs and estimated a combined total of about 272 square feet, which is below the 400-square-foot cap. “Sign allowance is based on 5% of the wall area,” Griggs said.

The applicant was not present. Griggs said the building already has a sign on the east facade, another near the front entrance on the first floor and a sign on the north (parking-lot) facade. Staff recommended approval in the staff report referenced by commissioners. A commission member moved to approve the application “on the basis that the project applies with regulations and guidelines of the Downtown Design District Zoning Ordinance as referenced in section C of the staff report,” another commissioner seconded, and the motion passed.

Commissioners did not solicit public comment on the item and raised no further questions during the meeting. No vote counts were recorded in the public transcript.

The commission moved next to the Bricktown item after the approval.","The Downtown Design Commission approved a proposed new sign at 401 North Hudson Avenue after staff said the proposed and existing signs total about 272 square feet, under the 400-square-foot cap in the sign code; the applicant was not present and there was no public comment.","actionData","errors"]
