Stickle, Senior Planner Joselyn A. Stewart, Transportation Planner SUBJECT: Amendment of a Planned Development District(PD) located at 3350 North Water Street SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the PD Planned Development Amendment. The proposed amendment to the PD is consistent with the intent of the originally approved PD. The City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to recommend approval of this petition at the July 7, 2011 meeting; the minutes of the meeting are attached. BACKGROUND: On February 3, 2011 the City Plan Commission voted 6-0 to approve the rezoning from R-1 Single Family Residence District to PD Planned Development District. The petition was approved by City Council by a 7-0 vote on February 22, 2011. The petitioner proposes to amend their PD in order to increase the height of their signage from 20 feet to 23 feet and to increase the entire sign area from the approved 90 square feet to 94.42 square feet. The cabinet of the approved sign cabinet structure was approximately 90 square feet; the new cabinet structure is approximately 140 square feet. The square footage increased due to the addition of a triangular piece to the top of the structure for the address and through the squaring off of the bottom portions of the sign that were previously of an inverted pyramid style. The location of the sign will be 100 feet from the north property line instead of the approved 140 feet. POTENTIAL OBJECTION: There were no known objectors at the Plan Commission Meeting. INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The PD Amendment has been reviewed by the City's Technical Review Committee; Planning, Engineering and Fire have approved the PD Amendment. STAFF REFERENCE: Any additional questions may be forwarded to Joselyn A. Stewart at 424-2782 or at jstewart ,decaturil.gov. BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None.
