The property is located on both sides of Solana Parkway and west of Hwy 114, and is commonly known as the Solana Office Park.

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.
