That the petitioner shall satisfactorily address all comments noted within the Inter-Departmental Review Committee Report; and 3.

Chairperson Ryan asked if any person would like to speak in favor or against this petition, or for public comment. Hearing none, he asked for the staff report. Ms. Urish presented the staff report, which was submitted to the public record in its entirety. The petitioner, the Village of Lombard, is requesting a text amendment to Village of Lombard Page 2 Plan Commission Meeting Minutes October 16, 2017 wall sign regulations of the B3, B4, and B4A zoning districts due to a scrivener’s error. In 2015, wall signs for all zoning districts were amended per PC 15-03. The objective of the amendments was to simplify the review of wall signage by not limiting the number of wall signs and measuring words and logos separately. Staff proposes changes regarding the exterior tenants of properties with multiple tenants in the B3, B4 and B4A zoning district that was inadvertently overlooked in 2015 to allow two times the signage on corner units or end units. Staff recommends approval. Chairperson Ryan asked for public comment, and, hearing none, opened the meeting for comments among the Commissioners. On a motion by Commissioner Sweetser, and a second by Commissioner Mrofcza, the Plan Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that the Village Board approve the petition associated with PC 17-33.
