County Road 10 Corridor Discussion <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated the County Road 10 corridor was the Council’s priority this <br />yea r and the Planning Commission has been asked to review the Zoning Code in order to better <br />promote and accommodate development along County Road 10. She indicated the focus of the <br />Commission has been on creating a PUD Corridor Overlay District and reducing the acreage size <br />requirements for the projects on the corridor. Signage requirements to only allow shorter <br />monument style signs in the overlay district were discussed. She suggested that since the <br />Commission liked the idea of monument signs, they should consider amending the sign code so <br />it would affect all properties, rather than just redevelopment sites. She reviewed the proposed <br />language for a PUD overlay district in further detail with the Commission.
