The ground sign would be located along the north side of the building, <br />adjacent to 33rd Avenue in the location of the current sign. Because a portion of the sign is <br />proposed to include an electronic digital display, the sign requires a Conditional Use Permit <br />pursuant to Section 157.24 of the City's Sign Ordinance. <br />The Planning Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing on March 18, 2025. <br />Comments were received from two neighbors of the church via email and phone, one of whom <br />attended the hearing. Objections were made primarily over concerns related to current conditions <br />and traffic, and concern that the sign may have the potential to shine into nearby homes. Based <br />on a review of the proposed sign and the applicable regulations, the Planning Commission <br />adopted the findings in the staff report and recommends approval of the CUP request, with <br />conditions related to compliance with code requirements applicable to dynamic display signs. <br />Mr. Grittman noted the proposed sign, to remain in compliance with the terms of the CUP and <br />City Code will be required to have monochrome text only on a dark background, and the City <br />Code also requires that such signs be dimmed at night to minimize glare. While this aspect was <br />not explicitly written into the original conditions of approval, it has been added for further <br />clarity. <br />The Planning Commission and Staff recommend approval of the requested Conditional Use <br />Permit for an electronic dynamic display sign at 2708 33rd Avenue NE with the following <br />condition: <br />
