Pledge of Allegiance Announcements None Presentations None Agenda Changes None Minutes 1. Planning Commission Meeting May 11, 2026 Allen moved to approve the May 11, 2026 Planning Commission meeting minutes. Halverson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Old Agenda Items 1. Text Amendment to the Sign Ordinance, specifically Chapter 66, to allow reverse-channel (halo-lit/backlit) wall signs This item was initiated by City Council in February, discussed by the Planning Commission on April 27 and deferred until this meeting. If the Planning Commission recommends approval, it would be on the June 18 City Council agenda. Reed explained they had chosen to use the lengthy phrase “halo-lit (reverse channel letter/backlit) wall signs” because people used different terms for the same thing. Signs were covered in Chapter 66 of the Code of Ordinances, and 66-5 listed prohibited signs, with 66-5(16) specifically banning internally-illuminated signs. However, there were several locations in the City where reverse channel signs had been permitted and installed by way of a Master Sign Program, Reed stated. In this program, there were agreements between the City and certain developments where signage was allowed that was not permitted in the Code. The Master Sign Plan was identified in Chapter 66 and stated that any multi-occupancy development, such as shopping centers or industrial parks, could submit a plan to Page 2 of 35 the City Planner prior to the issuance of sign permits. If approved, Reed stated, this Master Sign Plan would take precedence over the City’s sign ordinance. She had not found any that mentioned restrictions on halo-lit or backlit signs. These Master Sign Plans ensured that signage within a development would be cohesive and coordinated throughout, and there were 25 such plans in the City. Reed showed how they were listed on the City website, saying there were links that showed the specifics of each plan. This text amendment added a definition for halo-lit signs, which was currently lacking from the Code, and provided uniform regulations. Reed explained that they looked at what other cities said about halo-lit signs and had adopted some of their language. There was currently a definition for internally-illuminated signs in the Code. The amendment they were considering added that halo-lit and backlit wall signs could be allowed but kept the ban on other types of internally-illuminated signs. Reed also added clarification about what type of wall sign lighting was permitted and moved that language from 66-15(1) to 66-15(6). Allen asked if the Master Sign Plan applied to all businesses in a development, and Reed told him that it did and that it applied to all signs. He asked if internally-lit signs meant neon, and Reed said not necessarily—it meant any sign where the light was shining straight ahead. The signs they were talking about were back-lit, with the light turned towards the back. There were different ways to do this. Kriz wondered how the lumens and Kelvins were decided. Reed explained that they chose a backlit sign they liked, then contacted the business and asked what level of Kelvins and lumens they used. She also did some research to back up what they said. They felt this level was most attractive and was not too bright. Kriz asked if there were many signs that were above the requirements in this amendment, but Reed said she would have to call each of those companies and ask. Even if there were, there were no codes at the time, so these signs would be grandfathered in. A new company would have to apply for a new sign permit and meet the requirements, but Reed said she would have to check to see what would happen if an existing business wanted a new sign. Kriz said he imagined City Council would want to know that. Halverson had a question about conflicting language in 66-15(6) but that was resolved when he noticed the ordinance’s final sentence that said all other types of internally-lit signs were prohibited. That sentence was left out of the meeting packet information but was in the ordinance. He said the color and temperature would ultimately come down to branding, but as long as it fell into the criteria, it would be fine. He verified that new businesses would have to meet the criteria but existing businesses did not have to update their signs. Reed said she would find out if meeting the new requirements was mandatory if the same company was changing their signage. Page 3 of 35  Allen asked about lighting changes during a renovation, and Reed said they would have to use the new rules. Halverson posed a hypothetical question, using the renovation of Braelinn Village Shopping Center as an example. What if only seven out of 10 businesses wanted to change their signage? Reed said if there were seven different businesses, there would be seven different applications. One change did not mean they all had to change. Kriz stated this text amendment was a good effort. He believed, and thought the other Commissioners also did, that if an existing business wanted a new sign, they should comply with these new regulations. If that was not the case, he suggested asking the City Attorney to draft some language to make it so. Ritenour said he found the minutes from a January meeting in which they discussed exterior lighting. They said 6500 Kelvin was more of a bluish-white light, as opposed to 6000 Kelvin, which was more of a daylight, and 3000 was a warm white. They mentioned that older technologies had a warmer tone. He wanted to be consistent with what they had already set as the precedent, even though he preferred warmer tones. Halverson moved to recommend approval of the Amendment to the Sign Ordinance, specifically Chapter 66, to allow reverse-channel (halo-lit/backlit) wall signs. Kriz seconded. Motion carried unanimously. New Agenda Items 1. Elevations - Request for Waiver, Altitude, 400 Crosstown Drive Section 724 of the Land Development Ordinance gave the Planning Commission the authority to waive an architectural review if the building would not be visible from the road once completed, Hook related. Altitude Trampoline park was going into half of the old Kmart building (the other half is now occupied by a pickleball center) and had requested a waiver from the building elevation review for an outdoor covered area that was Kmart’s garden center. They planned to install a new roof and convert that into an outdoor entertainment area. The shopping center is zoned General Commercial (GC) with a special use permit for Kroger’s 2013 expansion. Hooks showed a site plan, pointing out the location in question, along with photos showing views from Crosstown Drive. Staff was of the opinion that the building was not visible from the street, thereby meeting the ordinance requirements for a waiver. Charles Killebrew of Onyx Creative represented the applicant and had no further comments. Kriz asked him why they were seeking this waiver. Killebrew replied that the work they were doing was within the bounds of the original garden center, which already had a lean-to structure in it. He said they would be coming in with Page 4 of 35 similar construction. He told Kriz a portion of this area was roofed now, but they planned to put a new roof over the entire area. Kriz asked staff how long it would take to get elevations approved or if there was a cost to the applicant. Hooks said they would have to come to the Planning Commission for approval with renderings and plans, so the applicant would incur a cost for getting those made, but the City imposed no fees for a building elevation review. Halverson verified that this would be open on three sides and would match the rest of the building. They intended to install clear vinyl roll down screens for inclement weather. Kriz observed that this was a highly-trafficked shopping center, and they would hear from the public if something went there that wasn’t visually appealing and hadn’t been reviewed. He said he was sure that would not be the case, based on what the applicant had said, but he couldn’t be 100% comfortable with waiving a review and wondered if anyone else on the Commission shared his concerns. Halverson asked staff if enclosing the roof would change the floor area ratio (FAR)? Hooks said she didn’t think it would increase the square footage, and Halverson agreed because it would not be heated or cooled. They had recently approved a major revitalization of the Braelinn Shopping Center, Ritenour noted. This included numerous businesses not visible from the street, but they looked at elevations for the entire complex. The Planning Commission also reviewed the elevations for the pickleball facility in the other half of this building. Here, Ritenour remarked, there looked to be more than a minor change planned, and he wanted it to come before the Planning Commission for what he believed would be a short and straightforward review. He said he wanted to know about colors and materials and things such as that, along with an overview of the structure itself. Halverson remarked that they didn’t want this to be one of the cases where something was built, then the owners had to come and ask for permission. Kriz said this was what he was thinking, too. He also added that he was glad to see this long-vacant property being redeveloped, and he hated to slow it down. Ritenour said he felt they needed to do their due diligence and make sure this would fit in with the rest of the complex. Halverson asked Killebrew to look as this as the Planning Commission seeking confirmation of what they believed was their intentions, rather than a penalty, but Killebrew said it was a penalty because it would delay the start of construction. He said if they were going to allow for the waiver opportunity, they should be willing to Page 5 of 35  grant it. Ritenour responded that if he was going to request a waiver, he should have provided some type of rendering. Hooks said she was sent one, but they typically did not use them in waiver hearings. Ben Thomas, the developer, said he had the rendering on his laptop and went to his vehicle to get it. Ritenour said they didn’t mean to put them in a tight spot, but there had been similar situations where the outcome was not what was expected. Killebrew explained that the entry tower would remain, but they would reconstruct the masonry wall that was currently there and reuse the metal fence panels. Ritenour said it seemed like more than minor changes were planned. Killebrew said a portion of this area would be used for miniature golf resembling a links course, while the other would be a more thematic miniature golf course. Ritenour asked if it was similar to other Altitude parks, and Thomas said he owned four of them, and this would be the crème de la crème. Killebrew said it would be the first to have miniature golf. The rendering was displayed on the screen, and the Commissioners were unanimous in their praise. Killebrew remarked that they were trying to keep the essence of the Kmart design but enhance it. Kriz moved to approve Elevations - Request for Waiver, Altitude, 400 Crosstown Drive. Allen seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 2. Conceptual Site Plan, Building Expansion, 240 Parkade Ct. Rochester & Associates had submitted a conceptual site plan for an expansion of the industrial building located at 240 Parkade Ct. Hooks indicated the property on a zoning map, noting that it was zoned General Industrial (GI). The proposal was for a 16,628 square foot addition with nine additional parking spaces, bringing the total to 59, exceeding the requirement by 11 spaces. A paved area would be added to connect the existing parking to the new space. The addition would bring the total building to 96,628 square feet. Hooks noted that Parkade Court was not a major thoroughfare, so an architectural review would not be required. Bill Foley represented the applicant. He introduced Lasertech president Randy Williams, who said they now had 48 employees. There was no more room on the property, so this would be the last expansion. Foley said there was a wetlands area and a cart path at the rear of the property, but those would not be affected. A Page 6 of 35  retaining wall would be built because the expansion area was at a lower elevation. Allen asked about cart spaces, and Foley said this exceeded cart parking and employee parking requirements. Kriz again said he liked to see expansion, and Ritenour echoed those comments. Kriz moved to approve Conceptual Site Plan, Building Expansion, 240 Parkade Ct. Halverson seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Kriz agreed to be the Planning Commission’s liaison for this project. Member/Staff Topics 1. Roof Signs Reed commended the Planning Commission for the work they had done on amending the ordinance pertaining to roof signs. However, she had discovered that the rules for roof signs became tricky under the Master Sign Programs. Many of these Programs identified exactly where the signs should be, and most were above the roofline on a tall parapet wall. Many businesses had objected to the roof sign ordinance, Reed reported, saying they pointed out that they had previously approved plans that allow signs above the roof. Reed said staff would be bringing the ordinance back to the Planning Commission for adjustments. Allen asked if the sign on the rendering of the garden center at Braelinn was an example, but Reed said that was a tower, not a parapet. A parapet was a wall to keep people from falling off the roof, but Reed said many businesses used it for sign placement because it was tall and visible. The Sign Program made it so the City would have to accept where most of them were located, Reed concluded. She said 25 commercial complexes in the city had a Sign Program. These programs came about in the 1970s and ’80s when the City let developers tell them what they wanted, such as with lighting, signage, even special event programs. However, it seemed those programs had sat dormant for a while. Staff had not been aware of them, and Reed said she did not believe Council was. She again explained that the Master Sign Programs would supersede the Sign Ordinance. Reed told the Planning Commission she would be researching this and would come back to them with ideas on how to move forward. Allen said he understood why they didn’t want a sign on top of a roof, but why didn’t they want it on a parapet? Halverson said he thought the discussion was more about where the roof line was located rather than the intent. Halverson said if Page 7 of 35  they limited the height of a parapet, then a sign on it should be okay. What they didn’t want was for someone to build a 25-foot tall parapet just so their sign would be visible. Reed said that was correct, pointing out that the original language in the code said a sign could be on a parapet, but no rules were attached. That was what they were trying to address. 2. June 22, 2026 meeting The City Council had scheduled a meeting on Monday June 22, which was the date of the next Planning Commission meeting, and had asked that the Planning Commission meeting be canceled. Kriz asked what would be on the agenda for the next meeting, July 13, and Reed said Council was asking them to initiate an amendment to allow pushcarts in commercial areas. Kriz moved to cancel the June 22 Planning Commission meeting. Allen seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Allen asked about the short-term rental ordinance that Council had relaxed during the World Cup. Reed said Council passed it with no changes to the language the Planning Commission had recommended. Reed asked the Commissioners to review the schedule of available training and let her know which courses they wanted to attend. Adjourn There being no further business, Allen moved to adjourn at 7:38 p.m. Halverson seconded. Motion carried unanimously.

City Council presented this item to city staff on June 4, 2026. Discussion: Planning and Zoning staff have received direction from the City Council to initiate a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to consider allowing pushcarts as permitted use within the city limits. Currently, pushcarts are prohibited under the city's Zoning Ordinance pursuant to Section 908.10(7), Mobile Food Truck Standards. The proposed text amendment would evaluate whether pushcart operations should be permitted and, if so, establish appropriate regulations and operational standards for their use. Discussion Topics: 1. Regulation of a Pushcart. If the city elects to permit pushcarts, they may be regulated under the existing Mobile Food Truck provisions. To ensure consistency, the following language could be added to the ordinance: Pushcarts shall be considered a type of mobile food vendor and shall be subject to all regulations, operational standards, permitting requirements, and restrictions applicable to Mobile Food Trucks. 2. Definition of a Pushcart. The Zoning Ordinance currently defines a pushcart as: “Any rubber-wheeled or non-self-propelled vehicle used for displaying, keeping or storing merchandise for sale. A pushcart may be moved without the assistance of a motor and does not require registration by the state department of motor vehicles. Products typically sold from a pushcart include commissary- prepared or pre-packaged food products, fruit, merchandise, drink or flowers.” Should the definition remain, as currently stated? 3. Mixed-Use Zoning Districts. The city's Limited-Use zoning districts (Limited- Use Residential (LUR), Limited-Use Commercial (LUC), and Limited-Use Page 19 of 35  Industrial (LUI) are not currently identified as zoning districts where Food Trucks are permitted. Staff request direction whether pushcart operations should be considered within one or more of these mixed-use districts (includes residential land uses). Limited-Use Commercial (LUC) is primarily a commercial mixed use that also allows residential. a. Limited-Use Commercial (LUC): If the city elects to permit pushcarts within the LUC district, staff provides language similar to the following: Vendor sites shall be limited to private tracts of land within the GC General Commercial, OI Office Institutional, LI Light Industrial, Limited- Use Commercial (LUC) District, and GI General Industrial zoning districts. In the Limited-Use Commercial (LUC) District, where residential and commercial uses exist within the same development or on adjoining properties, pushcarts and Mobile Food Trucks shall not operate within 30 feet of any residential dwelling unit or residential use. Relative Ordinances Sec. (908.10) Mobile Food Truck Standards Budget Impact: None Attachments: 1. Sec._908.___Accessory_uses Page 20 of 35 Sec. 908. Accessory uses. In addition to the principal uses permitted within the zoning districts established by this ordinance, it is intended that certain uses customarily incidental or accessory to such principal uses shall also be permitted. For the purposes of this ordinance, each of the following uses is considered to be a customary accessory use, and may be situated on the same zoning lot as the principal use or uses for which it serves as an accessory: (908.1) Uses accessory to dwellings: (a) Private garages.
