in developing the center; however, if the property is sold in the future and more intense usc;s are
allowed, the existing. traffic and parking problems could be compounded. Chairman Hawthhorne
expressed concern that granting the proposed rezoning request would only increase the existing
traffic conflicts in the area.
The motion to recommend approval of the proposed rezoning request passed (4 - 1); Chairman
Hawthorne voted in opposition to the motion.
AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Public hearing to consider a request for a Conditional Use
Permit for a freestanding sign to be located at 2200 Southwood Drive for the Friends
Congregational Church. (95-700)
Senior Planner Kuenzel presented the staff report and informed the Commission that the proposed
sign will be 18.5' tall and located on the 2818 frontage near the property line. Due to the large
amount of right-of--way in the area, the sign will be placed slightly over 170' from the actual
traveled portion of 2818. The church could have a sign that meets R-6 restrictions without
additional Commission review. However, these restrictions would not allow placement of the
sign within the first 10' of the property frontage. Therefore, the church is requesting to use C-1
requirements, which would allow a sign closer to 2818. The sign does comply with C-1 sign
restrictions and is in fact well below the maximum area and height that would ordinarily be
allowed on commercially zoned property.
Chairman Hawthorne opened the public hearing.
Pastor Charles Stark approached the Commission and offered to answer any questions pertaining
to the proposed use permit.
Chairman Hawthorne closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Hall moved to grant a conditional use permit to the Friends Congregational Church
located at 2200 Southwood Drive for the addition of a freestanding sign. Commissioner (Darner
seconded the motion which passed unopposed (5 - 0).
