The use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or to the values of property in the vicinity; and Surrounding land uses in the immediate vicinity are entirely comprised of single family residential homes. The sign will be visible from either direction on Stinson Boulevard; it will not be visible from the east of the premises because of building obstruction. The placement of the sign in perpendicular fashion to the residents along Stinson Blvd, which is a wide, tree-lined parkway, minimizes the exposure of neighboring residents to the sign’s dynamic and illumination display. The illumination of the sign may be a concern to nearby residents because of concerns about glare or brightness, especially during evening hours; however, with the proposed conditions outlined in the staff report and the resolution, the sign must be certified to conform with the brightness standards outlined in the dynamic display ordinance and must be equipped with the capacity to be dimmer or other mechanism that automatically controls sign brightness. Criterion met. 4. The use will provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare. Having a medium by which to display current and time-sensitive information is a reasonable request from the applicant, and provides a benefit in that it replaces the need for temporary signs that might be more unsightly. Additionally, electronic display signs are a use being adopted by other area schools. Criterion met. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Request Additional Information and Continue the Public Hearing. It appears the Applicant has provided all of the required information for the Planning Commission’s evaluation.
