The Historic and Architectural Review Commission is responsible for hearing and taking final
action on applications, by issuing Certificates of Design Compliance based upon the City Council
adopted Downtown Design Guidelines. This is a sign subcommittee meeting of the Historic and
Architectural Review Commission, for consideration and possible action on the following:
Regular Agenda:
1. Request for a Certificate of Design Compliance for a low profile pole sign at Morrow
Addition, Blocks F & G (pts), Lot 961131, a 0.31 acre portion located at 1214 South Church
Street.
Rowe presented the application and recommended approval. She explained that the
original proposal included the face of the sign being made of coroplast, a plastic material,
which is not allowable under the Design Guidelines. The applicant agreed to change the
material to aluminum to be in compliance with the Design Guidelines.
Motion by Commissioner O’Donnell to approve the Certificate of Design Compliance as
presented and with staff recommendation. Second by Commissioner Nunn.
Commissioner Nunn expressed concern over allowing real estate type signs as permanent
signage. She suggested a friendly amendment to the motion approving the sign for a
period of six months. At which time the applicant would come back before HARC with a
more permanent solution. The applicant stated that her goal was to be in a permanent
office at some point within the next year and would be applying for permanent signage at
that time. The friendly amendment was accepted by Commissioner O’Donnell.
Approved 3 -0.
Motion by Commissioner Nunn to adjourn. Second by Commissioner O’Donnell. Meeting
adjourned at 10:15 a.m.
