(Jenifer Paz)
Jenifer Paz, Staff Planner presented the item stating that the proposed sign package, which consisted of three attached signs, met the requirements of the sign ordinance related to allowable
sign area. Staff recommended approval of all signs with the exception of the ribbon sign (sign B). Staff expressed concern that the ribbon sign, located along the primary entry façade,
was not consistent with the Wolf Pen Creek design criteria due to its scale and
proportion. The sign was proposed above the main entry façade spanning a length of 34 feet in length.
There was general discussion about the ribbon sign (sign B) and how it related to other signs in the Wolf Pen Creek Design District along Harvey Road. Mr. Schloss and Ms. McGrail had
concerns regarding the appropriateness of sign B in the Wolf Pen Creek District.
