Commission approves specific‑use permit for Church of St. Benedict digital monument sign after size reduction
Summary
The commission approved a specific‑use permit for a digital monument sign at Church of St. Benedict (reduced from the prior proposal); staff confirmed night‑time dimming is required under the zoning ordinance and the sign will be considered by city council on April 1.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of SP‑001966‑2025, a specific‑use permit request to allow a digital monument sign for the Church of St. Benedict. The applicant reduced the proposal from the prior meeting (originally 13 feet tall and 80 square feet) to a maximum 12 feet tall and a 60‑square‑foot display area; the proposed digital portion is approximately 30.94 square feet and the sign includes a masonry base and architectural details per the exhibit. Staff concluded the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan and zoning rules for institutional uses with a specific‑use permit and recommended approval.
Commissioners asked whether dimming at night had been addressed; staff said dimming standards are already required by the zoning ordinance. No members of the public signed up to speak. The commission voted to approve the specific‑use permit and the item was scheduled to go before city council on April 1 at 6:30 p.m.
