The property is located in a Residential Commercial Professional zoning district where Municipal Code 15.20.180 allows a 32 square foot, 6 foot tall sign. The applicant has changed their design to a 48 square foot, 8 foot tall sign. Mayor Blad opened the public hearing. David Lee, YESCO representative, stated he feels his client has taken reasonable steps to modify their sign plan and still incorporate digital display, similar to other businesses in the area. He indicated the 8 foot tall sign would have a message board at the bottom of the sign to be non-intrusive into neighboring homes. Mr. Lee indicated the proposed sign would have dimming capabilities and would have the equivalent lighting output as Christmas lights. He added that it has been recommended to have the sign’s lights turned off between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. and his client is willing to comply with this condition. Discussion followed regarding the overall height of the sign and the proposed height of illumination. In response to a question from Council, Mr. Lee indicated Dr. Chris Hansen is the dentist at Comfort Care Dental.

Craig Cox, 477 Wyldwood, spoke in opposition to the proposal. He stated he lives across the street from the dental office and feels the best advertising is good quality work, rather than signs that could become a distraction or an eyesore. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Lee stated the intention of a sign is to draw attention to the business, while keeping the messages simple to avoid driver distractions. He feels that a 6 foot tall sign sometimes cannot be seen during high traffic times. In response to a question from Council, Ms. Neu stated streaming video is not allowed and messages must be displayed for 8 seconds to avoid safety issues. There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the public hearing. A motion was made by Mr. Johnston, seconded by Mr. Bray, to uphold the findings of the Hearing Examiner and deny the appeal of Comfort Care Dental’s request for a sign exception to allow a 48 square foot, 8 foot tall sign at 485 East Alameda Road and that the Decision be set out in the appropriate Council Decision format.
