MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207.

UNO Sign regulations were changed in November 2019 with the consequence of preventing 3. 4. ground, floor illuminated retail signs The UNO signage regulations were created for use in the University Neighborhood Overlay and not for use in the central, downtown area where illuminated signs are prevalent. The Saltillo project and all neighboring retail properties have existing illuminated signs for retailers along 5th Street. 5. Additional illuminated retail signs on 5th street will not create a new condition, they are prevalent 6. No portion of the retail frontage along 5th St at Saltillo face any single-family homes Why is Illuminated Signage Important? 1. Safety • Well lit pedestrian spaces along streetscape • Easier wayfinding for drivers and bicyclists • Encourages slower driving speeds along 5th St. • Encourages pedestrian activity along 5th St. and away from rail ROW or residential portions of neighborhood 2. Equality for all Retailers 3.

C15-2020-0016 / 4013 Clawson Rd – Additional Material (Postponement) This is the same application as the one approved in 2018. I have included my complete original application and the decision sheet in this update for your review. Any variation in the “conceptual plan” reflects simplification only. No building size or placement on either plan should be considered for any purpose other than giving the reader a sense of the size of the lot. No final decisions have been made about what may be built. The final decision about what can and will be built will be based on permit applications, reviews, and approvals by the Development Services department. There is no site plan process for an SF-3 two-unit lot; in applying for the subdivision with Land Use, we were told that all that we should submit is the lines we want to draw and a utility plan. Numerous other lots along Clawson have been divided into flag lots, and the neighborhood (including Clawson Road) has numerous multi-family developments. This was the basis for the findings in my original variance approval, including that the variance will not alter the character of the area. The facts on the ground have not changed. Denying an application that is exactly the same as last time, when no facts have changed, would be a gross unfairness. The only reason I am before you again is because (1) the City told me to get my original variance before submitting for my subdivision; and (2) the City took so long to process my subdivision application that both the application and the variance expired. This lot is currently a half-acre and is entitled for only one house and one ADU. The City’s target density for SF-3 lots is eight primary units and eight secondary per acre. Approving this variance and subdividing the lot will only lead to half that density, but will double the current allowance and help achieve the City’s housing goal – a goal the prior Board recognized in its approval (finding #1). At the time more than 80% of the homeowners within 300 feet signed a statement of support for the variance. I am happy to abide by the conditions placed last time, and request that you place the same conditions on this renewal. I want to be clear that the result of the subdivision will be two SF-3 lots, on which only two housing …
