Also present were Vice Chair Lynn Schultz-Writsel, Commissioners Estes Banks, Thomas Doumas, Craig Brown, and Alternate Commissioner Tony LaGreca. Staff Present: Principal Planner Mark Doering, Planning Technician Doug Tart. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Chair Larimer led in the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL Doering proceeded with the roll call and declared a quorum. AGENDA ADOPTION Larimer called for approval of the agenda. Doumas motioned to adopt the agenda as presented, Motion #1 seconded by Banks. Motion carried. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Schultz-Writsel suggested minor changes to the minutes. The first was at the bottom of page 2, to change “…the staff recommended” to “…the staff recommends”. On page 3, third paragraph from the bottom, remove “to”. The third change was on page 3, third paragraph from the bottom, to add “…heard at a public meeting” to the second sentence of the paragraph. This was to clarify who the Board of County Commissioners first heard the IGA from. Larimer suggested that the first condition of approval on page 2 be updated to change “long-term residential and retail” to “long-term residential and retail uses”. Banks suggested adding that this was the first time that the UDC, Comprehensive Plan, and Historic Preservation Committee came together, making it easier to approve the project. This was added as the second paragraph of page 3. Larimer motioned for approval of the July 15, 2020 minutes as amended. Motion #2 was seconded by Schultz-Writsel. Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENT Public comments opened at 7:10 pm. With no comments, public comment was closed at 7:10 pm. NEW BUSINESS The only item for new business was the Sangre de Cristo annexation. Doering introduced Mike Allen, the Energy Use Advisor from Sangre de Cristo Electric. Sangre de Cristo has requested to annex its headquarters into the Town of Buena Vista in fulfillment of the terms of the water service agreement which was executed in 2009 to address future growth of the headquarters and the need to be serviced by Town water. Allen then turned the floor over to Doering. Doering explained that the goal was to discuss the annexation of the Sangre de Cristo headquarters, as well as to change the zoning to Highway Commercial. The property consists of two parcels for a total of approximately 14.6 acres located at 29780 US Hwy 24 N. A portion of Highway 24 will be annexed along with the Sangre de Cristo property which surrounds the Tri- State substation. The request is to accept three petitions for annexation, with the public hearing date for the Board of Trustees on August 25, 2020. Along with the annexation there is an application for zoning the property in accordance to state statutes. The Board will make a decision for both the annexation application and zoning on August 25. Due to requirements for contiguity with Town boundary, the annexation must occur in portions, hence the three petitions. A portion of Highway 24 will be annexed along with the Sangre de Cristo property which surrounds the Tri-State substation. There is criteria in the state statutes that states that 1/6 of the perimeter has to be contiguous with the Town boundary. Second, a community of interest must exist between the area of interest and the Town. This is met due to existing water service to the property. The property is not hooked up to Town sanitation. Additionally, due to the existing mutual aid agreements, the Town provides backup emergency services to the property. Third, the area proposed to be annexed is urban or will be urbanized in the near future and is integrated or capable of being integrated with the Town. Water and road connections already exist. There are several items in the UDC, with at least one being necessary, to review a zoning application. First, it is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Second, the zoning is consistent with the proposed zoning district. Third, significant changes in the area warrant a zoning change. Due to significant commercial growth in the area, this criteria is met. Fourth, there is no error in the establishment of the current zoning. This is not applicable because this will establish the first and correct zoning for the property. Fifth, it must not create a significant adverse impact to the area. Sixth, public facilities can adequately serve the property. Staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the applications for both the annexation and zoning of the Sangre de Cristo headquarters, storage yard, and Tri-State substation located at 29780 US Hwy 24 N. Doumas motioned to accept the staff’s recommendation to approve the annexation and zone the property as Highway Commercial. Brown seconded. Motion #3 was unanimously approved. STAFF / COMMISSION INTERACTION Larimer pointed out a mistake in the packet. On page 2, under Process, the date was typed out as 202 instead of 2020. This has been corrected. Code Enforcement Officer, Grant Bryans, will join the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting in September to discuss the Town’s new RV and Camping regulations. LaGreca left the meeting at 7:58 p.m. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Commission, Banks motioned to adjourn the meeting at 8:17 p.m. Doumas seconded. Motion #4 was unanimously approved. Respectfully submitted: Preston Larimer, Chair Doug Tart, Planning Technician DATE: September 16, 2020 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Grant Bryans, Code Enforcement Officer AGENDA ITEM: Discussion on Citations dealing with Nuisance Issues As the job of Code Enforcement has progressed over the last four years, the need to be able to handle nuisance issues in a timelier manner has come up. While our current way of enforcing Town Code has been productive, there is a need for another enforcement tool. Take for example our snow shoveling ordinance (7-14): instead of taking the offender to court for such a minor offense, the Town could issue a citation if the property owner fails to mitigate the violation. The property owner could then pay the citation or go to court to fight the charge. This mechanism gives the officer more teeth with carrying out their duties, and it also serves as a reminder to the offender that the Town does take its rules seriously. The burden of the offense shifts from the Town to the offender in a timelier manner. The proposed structure does not give the officer unlimited authority for issuing citations. Instead, the officer is limited on what they can cite. We feel this is important as it continues in the spirit of collaboration and compliance which has been working well with most cases. As mentioned, the ability to cite at the time of the offense takes out the burden of the current process for offenses that can be dealt with immediately rather than having to send letters to gain compliance. The proposed structure is as follows: - Limit citable offences o 7-2 Nuisance as defined o 7-14 Snow and Ice o 7-15 Unlawful use of trash o 7-73 Weeds and brush duty of owner to cut o 8-42 Parking on private o 8-43 Parking on public o 8-44 Short-term and/or long-term storage of recreational/camping vehicles and utility trailers o 7-201/7-202 Camping on private/public property - First offense $50 - Second offense $100 - Third offense $150 The intent of this structure is for offense that need an extra reminder. This process does not have to be exercised on every case. Some cases require more fees or requests that only a summons to Court can handle. Having this enforcement mechanism allows for the officer to use their discretion in order to fairly and justly serve their duties. DATE: September 10, 2020 HEARING DATE: September 16, 2020 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Mark N. Doering, Principal Planner AGENDA ITEM: A request for a Comprehensive Sign Plan for the The LaGree’s Food Store located at 415 N. Highway 24 to allow for opaque window signs as wall signs, and to exceed the maximum size limits for wall signs located a commercial property in the Highway Commercial (HC) zone district. Staff Recommendation That the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the Comprehensive Sign Plan to allow window signs to be considered as wall signs for the LaGree’s Food Store at 415 N. Highway 24, with the following conditions: 1. The property is allowed to have the window signs identified in this application. The 100% opaque window signs will be considered wall signs for future regulation purposes. The 221.86 square feet area shall not be transferable to the other portions of the building’s walls and must remain in the windows as shown. 2. Any changes to the number, size, or location of the signs as shown in Attachments D and E to the staff report shall require an amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Plan, as identified in the Unified Development Code (UDC). 3. Any changes to the signs, including face changes, shall require an approved sign permit prior to installation. Face changes of existing signs that do not increase the size of any individual sign or the total area of all of the signs identified in Attachments D and E of the Comprehensive Sign Plan shall not require an amendment to the comprehensive sign plan and shall be reviewed by Town staff as a sign permit.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST Megan LaGree, representative for LaGree’s Food Store, submitted a Comprehensive Sign Plan application to allow for window signs that are 100% opaque to be allowed on the grocery store. The property owner, Sam Mick, has given permission for the applicant to apply for a Comprehensive Sign Plan. The proposed signs for the request are used to screen the administrative customer service portion of the store for security purposes. They are located on a portion of the store that has no access into the building. The former access for the Shopko store was removed during remodeling for LaGree’s and the new windows and entry doors for the store are located to the south. The proposed window signs in the plan are placed on the three sides of the former entry act and as wall signs because the the signs are 100% opaque and do not allow people to see into the store from the exterior and vice versa. The signs shown in Attachment D are along the north, west, and south sides of the of the former entry. For purposes of the application, those proposed signs have been shown in one drawing as if they were on the same wall. The other signs for the property are shown in Attachment E. II. HISTORY AND BACKGROUND The property was developed as a big box store in 1985. Prior to LaGree’s Food Store, it was last occupied as Shopko Home Store. After Shopko closed in 2018, the owner Samuel Mick remodeled the existing building for LaGree’s and they opened in June 2020. When the building permit for LaGree’s was submitted, their sign contractor submitted a sign permit (See Attachment E) for reuse of the existing pole sign, the existing large wall sign above the portico face and two new wall signs on the main building wall. They met the Town’s sign code that allowed up to 150 square feet for the wall signs. Staff worked extensively with the contractor to discuss what was allowed and not allowed for that application. No window signs were a part of that application, because the town does not regulate window signs, if they do not cover more than 50% of the the area of each window. After the signs shown in the sign permit were installed, they were inspected for compliance, approved, and the store opened. Sometime after that inspection and approval, the proposed signs on the windows were installed prior to opening day. On opening day, staff identified that those window signs were not a part of the application and that they were covering 100% of the windows. The 100% opaque signs exceed what is allowed for window signs in town (maximum 50% of window area), regardless of the property’s zoning. Staff identified that a Comprehensive Sign Plan was an option available to the applicants to keep the signs, if approved. Because of the size of those windows signs (221.86 square feet), and because the windows are completely covered, staff proposes to regulate them as a wall sign for future consideration, if approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. III. PROCESS – REQUIRED APPROVALS The applicant submitted a Comprehensive Sign Plan application for the signs for the grocery store as specified in Section 16.04.4.7.6.F. of the Town of Buena Vista Municipal Code. Comprehensive Sign Plans that are minor in nature (less than 48 square feet above maximum sizes, small off-premise signs, murals, neon signs, and statuary signs) are reviewed by the Town Administrator for a final decision. Signs that do not meet the criteria for administrative review, as identified above, are referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and a final decision. Comprehensive Sign Plans are not forwarded to the Board of Trustees.  September 16, 2020 Comprehensive Sign Plan – 415 N Highway 24 Page 3 IV.

V. ANALYSIS – COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN CRITERIA Section 16.04.4.7.6. of the Buena Vista Municipal Code provides specific review criteria for a Comprehensive Sign Plan. Each criterion is shown below in bold text and staff’s analysis follows each criterion in standard text. 1. The proposed Comprehensive Sign Plan results in a greater community benefit than otherwise achieved through the strict application of the sign regulations in this Section 4.7. The proposed signs provide for security of the building’s occupants while also providing some color decoration on the building which is otherwise neutral colors. The windows on the south and north walls of the entry are murals of food without specific advertising for the store It also helps to distinguish that the former entrance is no longer in use as the building’s entry. The other wall signs and pole sign are included in the Comprehensive Sign Plan for future reference. 2. The features of the sign(s), including the illumination, support structure, color, lettering, height and location, are designed so that the signs are an attractive, effective, and complementary feature of the building or property. The signs in the window are an opaque film applied to the windows themselves and are photos of produce and the logo of the store. They are not illuminated from the outside and are only backlit from the store’s interior lighting. They function as a wall sign because they prevent anyone from seeing past the glass of the windows and serve to hide the customer service area and counter in that former entry portion of the building. For security reasons, they want the signs to not be translucent or only cover a maximum of 50 % of the windows’ area. They are professionally designed and compliment the building’s scale and massing. They complement the building’s design and do not overwhelm the scale of the sign to the scale of the building’s facade The other signs were also professionally created to reuse the previous tenant’s pole and wall signs along with the two additional wall signs added on the building’s main wall for the Pharmacy and Deli signs. The pole sign was reused using the internally illuminated sign and pole structure and it was refurbished to continue that sign and is an attractive and effective sign that compliments the site along the highway. 3. The scale and placement of the signs are appropriate for the building and the site and are sensitive to the context in which they are used. As mentioned above, the windows that have the signs are along three different sides of the former entry so they are not all seen at the same time and are relatively large in comparison to  September 16, 2020 Comprehensive Sign Plan – 415 N Highway 24 Page 4 the allowed signage for wall signs (150 square feet) but do not seem out of scale compared to the large building façade of the store. Also, they are relatively appropriate for the building because there is a large parking lot between the building and sidewalk/street whereas they would not be appropriate to a building on Main Street. While that amount of signage would dominate a smaller building next to the sidewalk and street, it is appropriate for one of the larger buildings in town along the highway. The other wall signs and pole sign Shown in Attachment E are appropriate for the building and the site and are appropriate for the highway context in town. 4. The signs are professionally designed and fabricated of high-quality, durable materials. The signs were prepared by the applicant’s sign contractor and are professionally prepared on a plastic film that has been directly applied to the glass of the windows. They are not exposed to the weather and were installed to provide the screening for the customer service area operations for the store. The other wall signs were professionally prepared by the same sign contractor using the existing sign infrastructure or installed in a professional manner for the two new wall signs. All of those signs are made of appropriate sign materials that will last, as long as they are maintained. VI. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Based upon the information and materials provided by the applicant and provided in the staff report, staff supports the Comprehensive Sign plan application to allow the 221.86 square feet of opaque window signs and to consider them as wall signs for future regulatory purposes. Therefore, staff recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission approve the Comprehensive Sign Plan with the conditions listed in this staff report. 1. Applicant has requested approval of a Comprehensive Sign Plan for the opaque window signs and to have them considered as wall signs for the property located at 415 N. Highway 24; and 2. Notice of the public hearing was posted on the property and published in the newspaper as required by the Unified Development Code; and 3. The request was reviewed by the appropriate referral agencies for their review; and 4. The application is consistent with the applicable standards for a Comprehensive Sign Plan. THEREFORE If the Planning and Zoning Commission accepts the conclusion and recommendations as presented in the staff report, it should APPROVE the Comprehensive Sign Plan, with the following conditions: 1. The property is allowed to have the window signs identified in this application. The 100% opaque window signs will be considered wall signs for future regulation purposes. The 221.86 square feet area shall not be transferable to the other portions of the building’s walls and must remain in the windows as shown.  September 16, 2020 Comprehensive Sign Plan – 415 N Highway 24 Page 5 2. Any changes to the number, size, or location of the signs as shown in Attachments D and E to the staff report shall require an amendment to the Comprehensive Sign Plan, as identified in the Unified Development Code (UDC). 3. Any changes to the signs, including face changes, shall require an approved sign permit prior to installation. Face changes of existing signs that do not increase the size of any individual sign or the total area of all of the signs identified in Attachments D and E of the Comprehensive Sign Plan shall not require an amendment to the comprehensive sign plan and shall be reviewed by Town staff as a sign permit.
