He stated that the application was denied by the Hearing Examiner and Performance Outdoor is requesting a reconsideration of that decision. Mr. Sutner stated the sign would be one-sided and the lights would not affect the nearby apartments. He added that the sign would not interfere with traffic signals at the intersection and would not obstruct the adjacent business sign. In response to questions from Council, Mitch Greer, Rocky Mountain Engineering, displayed updated images and clarified that the sign does not overhang the sidewalk. He stated the applicant worked closely with City of Pocatello Traffic Engineering staff to ensure compliance to regulations.

He feels the digital sign would not interfere with the traffic signal and would not distract drivers. Corey Krantz, representing Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) District 5, spoke in opposition to the reconsideration request. He feels the purpose of a digital billboard is to distract drivers. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Krantz stated that red, green and yellow are colors which should not be used on the digital billboard. He clarified that moving pictures should not be used on the digital billboard. Jerry Meyers, Pocatello resident, spoke in opposition to the request. He stated he owns the property located at 508 East Center Street and he is concerned about the lighting, as it is close to his property. Mr. Meyers expressed his concern regarding pedestrian traffic, parking congestion and property values. He clarified that because parking is limited in the area, drivers must park further away from the REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING 4 MAY 16, 2019 businesses they are visiting, which leads to increased pedestrian traffic. Mr. Meyers added that it is most important for drivers to be aware of pedestrians. In response to questions from Council, Ms. Neu stated that a static sign would be allowable at this location. She added that if the digital sign is approved, Planning staff has recommended conditions regarding sign code standards as they apply to electronic message displays, lighting, transition standards and setbacks. There being no further public comments, Mayor Blad closed the public hearing. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Krantz stated that the digital nature of the proposed billboard is of great concern and that ITD would not be opposed to a static sign at the proposed location. He added that pedestrian and bicycle traffic count information could be obtained from Bannock Transportation Planning Organization. Mr. Cheatum stated he feels that Performance Outdoor has proved to be responsible sign owners and that he feels there isn’t a difference between a digital sign that follows the City sign code and a static sign. A motion was made by Mr. Cheatum, seconded by Ms. Mannan, to overturn the Hearing Examiner’s denial of the Applicant’s request for an off premises/billboard sign permit to place an off-premises sign measuring 12’7” X 22’ and 31’ in height at the location of 507 East Center Street, Pocatello, Idaho in accordance with Pocatello Municipal Code §15.20.240(B)(8)(b) and that the decision be set out in appropriate Council decision format. Council discussion followed regarding compatibility with adjacent land uses; pedestrian traffic; conditions recommended by staff; and static and digital sign displays located within other areas of the city. In response to questions from Council, Mr. Krantz stated he feels the proposed digital billboard could be directly competing for drivers’ attention with a portion of the traffic signal. He added that there is not a left turning lane at this time, but future placement of a turn light would be determined by traffic volumes. Ms. Adamson stated she is concerned that the sign could distract drivers in the area. Mr. Cheatum’s motion was voted upon at this time. Upon roll call, those voting in favor were Cheatum, Mannan and Leeuwrik. Adamson and Bray voted in opposition to the motion.
