Gaffron RJO Planning Dept. Title: Senior Planner ______________________________________________________________________________ Item Description: 15-3723 Source Land Capital - Lakeview Property - 405 North Arm Dr. - Lakeview Park Outlot Signage Improvements - First Amendment to Development Agreement ______________________________________________________________________________ List of Exhibits A – Draft Amendment B – Permit Application and Attachments C – Proposed Signage Exhibit D – Existing Development Agreement Excerpt E – Communications with Applicants Park Outlot Signage The 4.5 acre parcel between North Arm Drive and the large pond on the Lakeview site is platted as Outlot I for privately-owned public space purposes. While the Development Agreement documented the ownership and maintenance parameters for the park parcel, it did not detail any proposed improvements for the park save for the proposed trail layout. The developers on behalf of the Citizens for Lakeview Preservation (CLP) in July submitted an application for a temporary (90-day) sign permit to advertise the park and solicit donations. Staff determined that this type of sign was not addressed during the development review and does not fall under the parameters of any allowed temporary signage within the zoning code (see communications in Exhibit E). Staff has determined that rather than pursue a code amendment or seek special approval for this temporary sign, it would be more efficient for the developer and the City to amend the Development Agreement to address the potential range of possible signage improvements for the park property and establish parameters for such future signage, avoiding the need for continuing review as signage improvements progress. Comprehensive Signage Proposal Exhibit C developed by the CLP is a description of proposed signage they would like to have the ability to install on the park property. Council is asked to review the proposal and, subject to any specific conditions desired, adopt the attached Amendment to the Development Agreement that will establish conditions under which signage can be allowed for the park parcel. Parameters for approval recommended by staff are as follows: 1. Improvements to Outlot I shall be limited to the trails indicated on Plan I, Sheet C-507 as noted in Paragraph 7 of the Agreement and to the specific signage improvements described in the attached Sign Descriptions document (see Exhibit C).
