Attachment 1. LMC Chapter 17.26.052 - Development standards. Part A. Signage
A. Signage.
1. Review Consideration. Signage in the EZD needs to recognize the relationship between adjacent
land uses and the natural features of the location such as existing views and proximity to
residences. Although signs perform a function in providing information concerning services,
products, and business, a profusion of signs produces a cumulative effect that cancels out
individual effectiveness and detracts from the appearance of the community as a whole. All
signage shall be reviewed with the following considerations and criteria:
a. Use of subdued, low-key colors;
b. Location, size, and height that do not obstruct views of the community, the river corridor,
traditional open spaces, or the mountains;
c. Sign is built of permanent, durable materials;
d. Size and location avoids or minimizes the sense of clutter with nearby signs;
e. The sign is professionally prepared and finished on both sides;
f. The location and placement of the sign will not endanger motorists or pedestrians and does
not interfere with the clear vision triangle at street, railroad, or street driveway
intersections;
g. The sign will not cover or blanket any prominent view of a structure or fagade of historical
or architectural significance;
h. The sign will not obstruct views of users of adjacent buildings to side yards, yards or to
nearby open space;
i. The sign will not negatively impact the visual quality of a public open space such as a
recreation facilities, square, plaza, court yard and the like;
j. The sign cannot be seen from the Yellowstone River or any city, county or state park or—if
it can be seen—it must be located one thousand feet from the boundaries of such spaces.
2. Only one sign is allowed per parcel of record and there shall be at least one thousand feet
between signs.
3. A construction permit is required whenever the sign copy is changed and any alterations to the
sign are made.
4. Signs shall be limited to one hundred sixty square feet in copy area.
5. Non -conforming signs are required to be brought into compliance with this section within six
years from the date of adoption of this ordinance or upon the earliest occurrence of the
following events.
a. The sign is relocated or replaced;
b. The structure or size of the sign is altered in any way;
c. The sign suffers more than fifty percent appraised damage or deterioration or the sign is
taken out of service for any reason, such as being knocked down by weather or other
means;
d. If any non -conforming sign is abandoned or voluntarily discontinued for a period of one
hundred eighty days, any subsequent use must be in conformity with this ordinance. An
abandoned sign is a sign which no longer identifies or advertises a bona fide business,
lessor, service, owner, product, or activity, and/or for which no legal owner can be found.
An abandoned sign is to be removed by the owner within fifteen days of notice from the
public works department.
5. No portable signs as described in the city signage ordinance are allowed in the EZD.
7. Transit Bus Benches. Transit bus benches, with or without advertising, may be placed within the
city right-of-way upon application and approval of the ADA coordinator, the transit
4
administrator and in consultation with the public work director. All benches must comply with
any applicable city, state, and or/federal standards or regulations. The city may approve a bench
provider, with or without advertising, pursuant to its procurement policy, as amended.
8. Lighting. All sign lighting must incorporate cut-off shields to direct light downward. Luminaries
shall not be visible from adjacent streets or properties. A sign's lighting will not cause hazardous
or unsafe driving conditions for motorists and will not glare, reflect, or spill onto adjacent
business or residential areas.

CITY/COUNTY PLANNING BOARD
WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 2020
5:35 PM
LAUREL CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Public Input: Citizens may address the committee regarding any item of business that is not on the agenda. The duration
for an individual speaking under Public Input is limited to three minutes. While all comments are welcome, the committee
will not take action on any item not on the agenda.
1. Roll Call
The Chair called the meeting to order at 5:37PM
Gavin Williams
Ron Benner
Dan Koch
Roger Geise
Evan Bruce (non-voting)
Judy Goldsby
Nick Altonaga (City of Laurel)
General Items
1. Approve Meeting Minutes: February 26, 2020
2. Approve Meeting Minutes: June 24, 2020
The Chair shifted the approval of meeting minutes to prior to the scheduled public hearing. Members
reviewed the meeting minutes from February 26, 2020 and June 24, 2020.
Ron motioned to approve the minutes from the meeting on February 26, 2020.
Dan seconded.
Motion carried.
Dan Koch motioned to approve the minutes from June 24, 2020.
Ron seconded.
Motion carried.
3. Public Hearing: Special Review for Town Pump Sign Replacement
The Chair opened the public hearing.
Planning Director Nick Altonaga provided a general overview of the application and its contents
including the prepared staff report. He has provided certain conditions of approval if the Board would
recommend approval.
Members asked about the standards for singular signs per parcel. Nick went over the requirements of the
signage standards in the Community Entryway District. Discussion also took place regarding the
parameters for properties coming into compliance with the Zoning Code requirements.
Roger asked if there would be any height or width changes for the sign?
• Mark Lynde, the representative for the applicant was on hand and reported that there would be
no physical changes in size or height.
There were no proponents or opponents present at the public hearing.
Ron Benner motioned to approve the Special Review Application inclusive of the staff conditions
presented in the Staff Report.
Gavin seconded.
Unanimous vote in favor.
Motion carried.
New Business
4. CENEX Sign Review
Nick presented the application for a sign update for the CENEX property.
Ron questioned the updates and if they violate the codes.
• Nick remarked that he believes that the sign does not meet the threshold for needing to come into
full compliance to the code as it is just a refacing of signs. The replacement of the electronic
reader keeps the sign in its current state, without any upgrades or changes.
Members discussed the requirements of the code and the difficulty to enforce some sections.
• Nick plans to specifically target the Community Entryway Zoning District for major changes in
any upcoming zoning code update.
• Nick hopes to begin that Zoning Code update process after the Growth Management Policy is
finalized.
Ron motioned to approve the designs for the CENEX Sign replacement.
Gavin Seconded.
Motion Carried.
5. Design Review of Proposed Solberg Retail Building
Nick presented the fagade designs and lot layout for the proposed Solberg retail building. Members need
to consider whether the proposed design meets the spirit and intent of the code or might require a
variance or other official approval.
Comments were made as to the specificity of the code and its restrictive nature. The proposed siding is
used widely in commercial districts. The concept appears to be sufficient and present an acceptable
aesthetic. Forcing further processes onto the developer would only cause more issues.
Ron motioned to approve the design of the fagade for the Solberg Retail building as it was presented.
Gavin Seconded.
Motion Carried.
6. Growth Management Policy Update Chapter Review
Nick presented the Updated chapters of the Growth Management Policy. Have only 3 chapters left to
prepare including a review of the Implementation chapter prepared by KLJ.
Nick would like any questions, comments, or critiques of the chapters. Plans to have a full draft in front
of the Planning Board for August meeting.
Members discussed the lack of data on the full 59044 Zip Code. Nick had discussed this option with
Forrest and KLJ and he had said that the data set would be very inaccurate for the city and the planning
area. The Zip Code is a much larger area than both the city limits and the Laurel planning jurisdiction.
Nick will review the census data and update some tables to show to Planning Board Members.
Members discussed the Recreation chapter. Ron Asked about Riverside Park and what the plans are for
that?
Nick can update the chapter to include more information about the recommendations from the Riverside
Park Master Plan. Gavin asked if Nick could provide the Riverside Park Master Plan.
• Nick will provide members with copies of the Riverside Park Master Plan and other planning
documents from the past few years.
• Nick will also remove Town Square Park from the recreation chapter.
