During the review of the Chipotle signage permit, a representative from the company said they are making the adjustments needed and will return with corrections.
The Commissioners approved the permit with that stipulation. Renovating the Sizzler building, the Black Bear Diner generated a lengthy conversation on signage regulations when they asked permission to place two additional Black Bear statues outside the restaurant. The code states only one freestanding sign is allowed; the bears are considered signage. The current monument sign is larger than regulations allow, and roof signage is not permitted.
Therefore, the addition of the Bear statues was denied. The Commissioners approved the exterior colors and the monument sign after size adjustments. The Commissioner’s comments included revising signage regulations.
Deputy Town Manager Shane Stueckle said changing the sign code could be complicated and take up to two years, but it will be discussed later.
