ITEM NO. 3 Petco Sign Modification (PA2014 -085)
1280 Bison Avenue, Suite B15 CD 4
Jason Van Patten, Planning Technician, provided a brief project description stating that the request was to
add a second identification wall sign on the Bison Avenue Frontage for the purpose of identifying pet
grooming services offered by Petco. He added that the Planned Community regulations restricted each
business to one sign per street frontage. Mr. Van Patten noted that the tenant frontage was significantly
larger than other tenants, had separate entrances for retail and grooming services, and that the sign would
identify the separate entrances.
The Zoning Administrator opened the public hearing.
One member of the public, Jim Mosher, spoke and felt that the placement of one sign between the two
entrances was more suitable.
There were no other public comments.
The Zoning Administrator addressed comments presented by staff concerning the size of the tenant frontage
and separate entrances for grooming and retail services and approved the project as proposed.
Following the approval, applicant Shawna Schaffner of CAA Planning appeared on behalf of the property
