• Bruggeman Properties • • Page 9 of 13 As shown on the submitted site plan, a trash enclosure has been proposed on the east side of the building. The enclosure mimics the materials of the principal building (cement based siding and stone) and is considered acceptable. Signage. While the submitted building elevations illustrate general wall sign locations, a specific sign plan (for both free - standing and walls signs) has yet to be submitted. To maintain area consistency, it is suggested that the applicant consider the creation of a comprehensive sign plan which establishes a signage theme for all commercial uses in the development.

In considering conditional use permit requests, the Ordinance states that the Planning and Zoning Board shall recommend approval and the City Council shall order the issuance of such permit only if it finds that such use at such location:
