Item 18:
Public Hearing: AP 07-005 Request for City Council Review of an
Appeal of the Director's Determination to deny a request for a sign permit
for Primerica Sian by Todd Mendel - 1640 W. Cherry Lane, Suite 100
(Lot 2, Block 1 of Cherry Lane Crossing Subdivision):
De Weerd: I did open that Public Hearing, by the way. Okay. Item 18 is a Public on AP

permit application. One of them was approved. This is the only one that was denied,
so -- the other reason is that per the UDC, the wall area is defined to mean the wall
surface of a single tenant structure or the store front of the multi-tenant structure. So,
again, the store front is not located here, it's located in a different area of the structure.
Furthermore, it says for wall signs, that wall signs are permitted in any number, location,
or orientation, except for an adjoining residential property, provided that the total square

nine percent of the wall if combined with a freestanding sign on the same lot. This
proposed sign is over the nine percent of the wall space for the store front elevation for
