EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (INCLUDING APPLICABLE ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY )
The proposed amendment adds Section 12 “Signs” to the ordinance that regulates the PD 1
zoning district . It will pertain only to the portions of PD1 that are not in Planning Areas that
have their own sign regulations specific to the Planning Area. PD1-2 and PD 1-3, the Entrada
and Granada developments, do contain their own sign regulations. The proposed amendments
provide regulations that will allow approval of sign permits for signage similar to what was
included in the Solana signage and entryway updating plans presented as informational items to
the Planning and Zoning Commission and Town Council during workshops held a few months
ago.
The Solana development was originally zoned and developed as a single-user complex with
some accessory or support users mixed in. Over the years since IBM moved out, the buildings
have been leased to multiple tenants, and the expectations are that it will be occupied by an ever
growing mix of office and retail tenants which will increase the demand for various types of
signage.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval as submitted.
