Item No: 513 <br />Meeting Date: June 1, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Planning Case MU2016-001 <br />not make a difference. The consensus of the Commission was to allow multi -colored <br />lights through a Variance, or by amending the City Code. <br />If the Commission's intention is to allow the Church to utilize multi -colored lights on the <br />Dynamic Display Sign, the question is whether to allow this by approving a Variance for <br />such use, or amending the City Code such that a Variance is not necessary. <br />If by Variance, the Planning Commission's approval of the Variance ends the process. <br />If by amending the City Code, the Commission could continue the Public Hearing until a <br />future date. The City would then extend its 60 -day review of the application to 120 -days, <br />and the City Council could consider a City Code amendment at its June 13th meeting. If <br />approved, the amendment would not take affect for 30 -days. <br />Applicable Sections of the City Code <br />Title 1000: Building and Development Regulations <br />Section 1008.10: Specific Sign Type Standards and Requirements <br />Subd. 9: Dynamic Display Signs <br />c.
