The Manor Planning and Zoning Commission on Aug. 13 approved an amendment to the coordinated sign plan for the MiniMax gas station at 13320 East U.S. Highway 290, permitting signage on the fuel canopy. The motion passed 4-0.

Planning staff explained that a coordinated sign plan must account for all signage on a property; because canopy signage was not included in the original plan, the applicant sought an amendment to add fuel-canopy signage and to accommodate a digital fuel-price display. Staff said any illuminated signage — including a digital fuel price — will require a development agreement committing the owner to comply with the city’s outdoor lighting standards and that the coordinated sign-plan approval does not replace sign permits, which must still be submitted and reviewed.

Mr. Moradi, identified by staff as present, confirmed attendance but did not present additional material. Staff pointed commissioners to the pages of the submitted plan where the canopy signs are shown and reiterated that the plan sets sizes and locations but that final permitting will default to the city sign code where specifics are not shown.

Commissioner Meyer moved approval of the coordinated sign plan amendment. Commissioner Nila seconded. The motion passed 4 to 0.

The approval allows the canopy signage shown on the amended plan to proceed to the permit phase, subject to the development agreement and standard sign-permit review.
