Bascom Ave. - C-2-S (General Commercial) Zoning District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Planning Commission adopt the attached findings and determine that the A -frame sign is in violation of City ordinance and DENY this request. STAFF DISCUSSION The applicant has established a new business (limousine service) in the rear of an office complex and placed an A. -frame sign near the street for exposure. Staff notifijd him of the violation and application has been submitted requesting an approval of the sign for two months. Attached is a letter from the applicant stating that the sign is needed until a new multi -tenant, freestanding sign can be constructed. It has been City Ordinance not to allow A -frame, movable type signs for the following reasons: 1. The City wants permanent, well -designed signs to enhance its appearance. 2. Movable signs tend to clutter the streetscape and often become obstacles to pedestrians and vehicles. 3. The placement of A -frame signs encourages other businesses to place signs without City approval. Staff cannot support the request for the reasons cited above. It is Staff's opinion that if the applicant needs major street exposure, a space should be leased with such exposure. The City faces setting an undesirable precedent by approving this request and thereby being obligated to approve other similar requests. A sign near the entrance to the business has been approved and a multi -tenant sign near the street is certainly possible. • � t RECOMMENDING FINDINGS F(` ENIAL: SA 88-11 APPLICANT: EXPRESSO LIMOUSINE SITE ADDRESSt 1645 S.
