Loading...
Summary
The council unanimously approved rezoning four parcels to C‑4, amended the sign code to add M‑1A criteria, and approved the final plat for Prairie Landing Plat 1 (approval subject to developer addressing listed deficiencies).
The Altoona City Council on May 6 approved several land‑use actions including a rezoning request from BTW Companies, amendments to the sign code to add M‑1A criteria, and the Final Plat for Prairie Landing Plat 1.
Tyler Tuttle of Bishop Engineering said he represented BTW Companies on a request to rezone four parcels totaling 4.914 acres to C‑4 (Village Commercial) and offered to answer questions; the public hearing drew no speakers and the council recorded the ordinance readings and votes (all recorded as unanimous, 5‑0).
Community Development Director John Shaw explained the proposed M‑1A (Commercial and Limited Light Industrial Business Park) sign‑code amendment would add escalator language similar to the C‑2 standard so large multi‑tenant buildings can have larger signage allowances. The council completed the ordinance readings and voted to publish the amendment as recorded.
Erin Ollendike of Civil Design Advantage presented the Final Plat for Prairie Landing Plat 1, acknowledged the listed deficiencies and stated the developer agrees to address them. Councilmember Duer moved approval subject to the deficiencies being met; the motion passed 5‑0.
All zoning and plat actions recorded unanimous roll‑call votes at the meeting. The ordinance amendments referenced Chapter 165 (zoning map) and Chapter 159 (sign code) of the City Code.
