Sean Kelly of the Planning Department explained the confusion about the sign type from the previous LUZ meeting and proposed 3 conditions for approval of the waiver regarding the electronic changing message portion of the sign:

1)       the sign shall contain only verbal messages that change simultaneously over the entire message board;

2)       the message board shall contain only amber lights; and

3)       the sign shall only be operated between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.

 

The conditions do not contain a sign dwell time condition in light of the pending ordinance regarding changing electronic message signs.

 

Chad Grimm representing the applicant spoke in opposition to the third condition regarding hours of operation, stating that the location of this church sign is somewhat different from the church in Mandarin (Loretto Road) cited by the City as a comparable case.
