January 25, 2022 Page 3 Percentage of allowable sign area for district: 35% Minimum duration of continuous image: 8 Seconds Transitions: Image changes must be instantaneous, without special effects or gradual transitions Messages: Must be complete with each image, not continuing in context or intent to the next images Color: Must be monochromatic against a solid black background From the application submitted, it cannot be determined if the expanded sign display will cause the sign height to exceed 8 feet. The applicant should verify that the proposed sign would not be higher than 8 feet. Based on the originally submitted materials, it was determined from application submitted that the background of the existing sign did not meet the color requirements of Dynamic Displays. The color shown from multiple sources shows the background to be blue. Lettering must be monochromatic against a solid black background. The applicant has since confirmed that the background color will be black, consistent with the requirements of the code. The sign may be allowed under the CUP, if the applicant verifies that the sign will be under 8 feet in height and the background is changed to a solid black coloring. In summary, the proposed sign does not meet the requirements of the relevant Zoning and Sign Ordinance requirements. 2.Applicable Code Sections.
