MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 14, 2013 Young asked about a free - standing sign. The City Planner indicated that any free- standing signs that the tenants may want should also be included in the master sign plan and would be included as part of the 15% calculation. Fischer noted that it appears the tenant and property owner are struggling with what the master sign plan should look like. Fischer asked if there were examples that staff could provide.

The Planner noted the size of the property and indicated that garage space up to 1,500 square feet would meet ordinance standards relative to this property.
