Planning Commission rules painted barriers at Tiny’s Tasty Treats qualify as a mural, not a sign
Summary
The commission found that painted concrete barriers used for outdoor seating at Tiny’s Tasty Treats (98 N State Rd) meet the Zoning Ordinance definition of a mural, meaning no sign permit is required; owner Jeff Hilliker said the painting was done to improve appearance and met an insurance requirement.
The commission voted that the painted concrete barriers outside Tiny’s Tasty Treats (98 N State Rd) should be treated as a mural under the Zoning Ordinance rather than a sign, which would have required a permit. City staff had noted the Principal Shopping District (PSD) Board had approved the façade permit for the deck and painted barriers and asked the commission to provide guidance on whether the painted barriers qualified as a mural.
Owner Jeff Hilliker told the commission the barriers "were an insurance requirement and the painting was intended to improve their appearance." The commission accepted that rationale and the motion (by Gunneson, second by Faulkner) carried (AIF/MC).
