Planning & Zoning Commission/ Local Planning Agency March S, 2017 Page 5 In response to the Commission's question, Ms. Hanna said that this item is tentatively scheduled to go to the City Commission in April and it would require two meetings at the City Commission level. Ms. Hanna said staff would like adoption of the new sign code as soon as legally possible to avoid any potential litigation. Mr. Henson asked for a motion to address LPA 16-01. Mr. Bryan made a motion that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of LPA 16-01 and hereby amend the City of Casselberry Unified Land Development Regulations, Article V, Section 2-5.3(B), Article XVI Signs, of Chapter III Performance Criteria and amending Chapter 14, Amusements, Section 14-42, Performance Criteria of Division 2, Special Events, within Article II of the Code of Ordinances including Exhibit A, addition of verbiage for 8c as discussed and the minor legal revisions that the City Attorney is working on. Mr. Van Meter seconded the motion. The motion passed with a majority vote with Mr. Lutz casting the dissenting vote. Eighth Item of Business: LPA 16-16: Commercial Design Standards. An ordinance to create commercial design standards within the City. Ms. Emily Hanna, Planner II, reviewed the information provided in staffs memorandum dated March 8, 2017, and a PowerPoint presentation, to the City of Casselberry Planning and Zoning Commission (a copy of the PowerPoint presentation is attached and made a part of the minutes). Ms. Hanna said staff requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of LPA 16-16 and hereby amend the City of Casselberry Unified Land Development Regulations, Chapter II — District and General Regulations, Article VII — General Regulations to create Section 2-7.35 "Commercial Design Standards". Ms. Hanna stated a modification to the language for nation-wide logos might be required to meet the proposed sign code changes. She said the purpose of this ordinance is to address site design and layout. She said language was included to make it more pedestrian oriented. A brief discussion ensued regarding the requirement for a secondary entrance and the comparison of the proposed commercial design standards to other municipalities. Ms. Hanna stated that the City currently has three (3) overlay districts that govern design guidelines within the City. She said if the City was to include two (2) or three (3) more overlay districts to govern different sections in the City, it would be cumbersome and confusing for the developers to determine their overlay district.
