of August.
STAFF REPORT•
This application is submitted to the Board without Planning
Commission recommendation. The request is basically a downzoning
to accommodate a retail/amusement type business disallowed in the
I-3 district. (Bar lounge and tavern is disallowed.) This is an
industrial plan area with much of the surrounding neighborhood
zoned I-3 and reflected on the neighborhood plan as Industrial.
The approval of a PD -I on this site will be consistent with the
industrial land use plan element.
Typical notice to adjacent owners will be provided as well as the
posting of signs and a newspaper legal ad.

Cade Enforcement for a unpermitted roof sign. In addition they
have two wall -painted signs both facing Second Street on the
northeast and northwest block walls. There is also a pole sign
in the parking lot facing Second Street and a pole sign at the

STAFF RECONiME'NDATION:
Denial of the request for an 8 foot by 12 foot addition to the
existing roof sign. Staff would recommend that the applicant
utilize the 2 1/2 foot by 37 foot band sign. The two wall -
painted signs on the block walls facing second street would
remain. The pole sign in the parking lot facing Second Street
and a pole sign at the corner of 3rd and Byrd Streets would
remain.
PNING COMM(AUGUST 29, 1996)
Mr. Fred Grey represented the project applicants. He told the
Commission that a roof sign is needed to provide for better
visibility of "The Edge". He said that to date the private club
has had 17,000 visitors since opening July 23, 1996. In addition
50 full and part-time positions have been created and the
surrounding area has been cleaned up by the owners of "The Edge".
Mr. Grey showed pictures of several other roof signs in the
generally area.
Mr. Lawson stated that the roof sign is not in keeping with the
historic nature of the building. There was a extensive
discussion among the commissioners as to why the Planning
commission was bypassed in the original PD -I request.
A motion to amend the PD -I ordinance to include 8 foot by 12 foot
roof sign that says "The Edge". The vote on the motion was
5 ayes, 3 nays, 2 absent, and 1 open position. A minimum of
6 ayes are required to approve a motion. The motion fails and
the applicant's request is denied.
