Commission approves PD 171 amendment for Main Street Town Crossing, limits pylon sign to 55 feet
Summary
The commission approved a phase‑2 amendment to PD 171 for the Main Street Town Crossing development, including parking and signage changes; staff supported most variances but recommended limiting a proposed 70‑foot pylon sign to 55 feet, a limit the developer accepted and the commission approved.
Commissioners approved an amendment to Planned Development 171 (Main Street Town Crossing) that defines phase 2, adjusts development and use regulations for community retail uses, and updates parking and signage standards.
Staff told the commission the 71.737‑acre site (phase 2 = 20.39 acres) is consistent with the regional module in the comprehensive plan and showed proposed site and landscape plans. Staff supported most variances (parking, landscaping, sign variances) but recommended reducing a requested 70‑foot pylon sign to 55 feet because grade at the location would make a 70‑foot structure appear much taller than the roster of surrounding buildings.
Developer John Weber (speaker 18) said he would accept a 55‑foot limit and described other mitigation measures (landscape interior plantings, deceleration lane on Spur 73). After questions about landscaping, parking and required street improvements, the commission voted to approve the amendment with the sign‑height limitation included in the motion; the transcript records the final vote as 6–0.
The amendment allows continued build‑out of the retail center with updated signage and parking rules for phase 2; staff will review detailed elevations and site plans during the administrative site‑plan process.
