AGENDA ITEM 11 Nathan Jurey, Senior Planner, Community Development, stated that before the
MASTER ALTERNATIVE Planning Commission is a request for approval of a Master Sign Plan for Valley
SIGN PLAN / ASP-10-20- Oaks to allow painted commercial signage and a mural on the existing building
7517 / “Valley Oaks Meats” / located at 110 NW 12th Street (formerly Winters Meat). The proposal includes
110 NW 12th Street two (2) new painted commercial signs and one (1) painted mural of an American
flag. For illustrative purposes, the applicant has shown the reface of existing
pole and monument signs, as allowed by Code.
The proposal includes three (3) issues that require Master Sign Plan approval.
First, the proposal requests a mural, the American flag, which may only be
approved by a Master Sign Plan. The mural was reviewed by the Public Art
Commission and they recommended approval as described by the artist, which
included a degree of degradation. Second, the proposal requests a sign, the
“Butcher” sign, that is larger than the 10% wall coverage allowed per Code.
Third, the proposal requests two commercial signs, the “Meats” and the
“Butcher” signs, that are painted directly on a building, whereas the closest
applicable sign type, the applique sign, does not allow painted signage. Planning
Commission must determine if the proposed signage meets the applicable
Review Criteria, which includes, but not limited to determining if the proposed
signage is of “higher quality” than required by Code and if the proposed signage
does not “significantly alter” the historic or cultural context of the surrounding

area. If the pole sign and wooden pole sign ever lose their non-conforming status
those signs will need to come down.
QUESTIONS Commissioner Byron Craddolph asked if neighboring businesses have had any
issues with the sign. Mr. Jurey stated that since it’s not a public hearing no letters
were mailed out. Mr. Jurey noted that the signs are currently up, and staff hasn’t
heard from any surrounding business owners. Commissioner Craddolph asked
if staff is ok with these signs and if they think they are compatible with the rest
of the Downtown Master Plan. Mr. Jurey informed Commissioner Craddolph
that this business is located right outside of the Downtown area and is zoned
“LI” (Light Industrial). Mr. Jurey stated that the majority of the signs face 12th
Street and faces away from the downtown businesses to the south.
Commissioner Billups stated that he is a Downtown Alive Board member and
they had some discussion about the project and didn’t have any issues with the
signage.
