Signs Draft Ordinance No. 2006-18 (amending Chapter 16 and Chapter 20 sign regulations) CONSIDERATIONS: The submittal requirements for aesthetic review are set forth in Section 9-605 and include the spaces; (c) illustrations of all walls, fences, and other accessory structures and the indication of height and their associated materials; (d) elevation of proposed exterior permanent signs or other constructed elements other than habitable space, if any; (e) illustrations of materials, texture, and colors to be used on all buildings, accessory structures, exterior signs; and (f) other architectural and engineering data as may be required.

The proposed signage appears to adequately address this criteria and fit appropriately with the building, signage, and other features. No landscaping is required by code around monument signage at this location. (2) The plans for the proposed project are in harmony with any future development which has been formally approved by the City within the surrounding area.
