Monument signs are by design intended to be low to the ground,as opposed to pylon signs which aze by nature raised to a height for greater visibility. A monument at 12' or 12'8"is already pushing the limit,in staff's opinion,especially for an office use. If this was retail,there would be a greater need for highly visible signage. • The Development Agreement provides that minor amendments to the approved plan may be referred to the Development Review Committee, which consists of the Planning Director, Public Services D'uector and the City Planner.
