Commission tables signage request for proposed market near residential area
Summary
A signage request for a proposed market adjacent to an R1 neighborhood was tabled while staff verifies base zoning, conditional-use history, signage regulations and whether neighbor notice is required.
During the May 13 meeting, commissioners considered a signage application connected to a proposed market located near an R1 residential area and an AR care facility. The application proposed three sign locations: a building-mounted sign, a roadside sign beside the road, and a corner sign at a three-way stop. The applicant’s representative (the mayor’s office/Andy) was not present; a commissioner presented the materials.
Commissioners said the property likely holds a prior conditional use permit and discussed the need to confirm whether the current proposal exceeds that permit. They were concerned about sign illumination, visual impact on adjacent homes, and parking requirements tied to the site’s existing commercial zoning. Without full documentation and sign/regulation guidance on the record, the commission agreed to table the request and asked staff (Chris) to verify the site’s zoning status, check whether a variance or conditional-use modification is required, and advise on appropriate neighbor outreach (one commissioner suggested notifying landowners within 300 feet as a possible path).
No formal vote on the signage proposal was taken. Commissioners directed staff to follow up with the applicant and return with findings and recommended next steps at an upcoming meeting.
