CURRENTLY, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED COMMERCIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
SURROUNDING ZONING IS A RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY LOCATED TO THE WEST.
YOU DO HAVE A UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD EASEMENT THAT IS LOCATED TO THE EAST AND THE SOUTH.
CONTINUING WITH A SINGLE FAMILY.
[A. Consider the Comprehensive Plan Amendment from Neighborhood Commercial Uses to Auto]
RESIDENTIAL USES. AND THIS IS LOCATED ALONG JACKSON ROAD.THE APPLICANT IS WANTING TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL MULTIFAMILY.
THE PROPOSED UNITS IS ABOUT 96 UNITS.
THIS IS ALSO CONSIDERED AS PHASE TWO OF WHAT IS ALREADY LOCATED ON LOT NUMBER ONE.
WE DID MAIL NOTICE TO 23 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS AND RECEIVED NO COMMENTS IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS REQUEST AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT.
BASED OFF OF THE SURROUNDING LAND USES, STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AS WELL AS THE REZONING REQUEST.

[B. Consider Variance Requests to the City of Edinburg Unified Development Code Article 4,]
SO THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 5203 SOUTH MCCALL ROAD, AND THE REQUEST IS COMING FROM A1 SKYLIGHT.WHAT THEY'RE REQUESTING IS TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SIZE PERMITTED FOR A LED SIGN THAT IS LOCATED AT LOT FIVE, BLOCKS FIVE A AND SIX A OF CENTER POINT SUBDIVISION.
AND THIS IS LOCATED AT 5203 SOUTH MCCALL ROAD.
AS YOU CAN SEE BASED OFF OF THE AERIAL.
THIS IS LOCATED OFF OF MCCALL ROAD, JUST SOUTH OF ALBERTA ROAD.
[00:10:02]
THIS IS WITHIN THE DAHER MEDICAL DISTRICT.THIS AREA. THIS IS CONSIDERED A PLAZA'S MEDICAL OFFICES.
AND ALSO, WE DO HAVE THE EVENT CENTER THAT IS LOCATED ON PASEO DEL PRADO.
STAFF RECEIVED A SIGNED VARIANCE APPLICATION ON JULY 15TH OF 2025.
CURRENTLY, THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING TO RENOVATE THE FREESTANDING SIGN THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTING AS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN.
THEY'RE WANTING TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SIZE ALLOWED FOR AN LED SIGN, SO CURRENTLY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE CANNOT THE LED SIGN PROPOSED CANNOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL SIGNAGE BY NO MORE THAN 50% WHICH IS OF THE INITIAL CABINET SIGN.
SO THE PROPOSED LED SIGN IS ABOUT 106FT².
THE PROPOSED CABINET SIGN THAT IS LOCATED ABOVE THE LED IS ALSO ABOUT 106FT².
SO ACCORDING TO THE UDC, TECHNICALLY, THE LED SIGN WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED TO BE ABOUT 53FT² IN TOTAL.
SO WE DID NOTICE AS THIS IS A SIGNED VARIANCE, WE DO NEED TO SEND OUT PUBLIC NOTICE TO THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS.
AND WE DID SEND OUT TO ABOUT 35 NEIGHBORING PROPERTY OWNERS.
WE DID RECEIVE FOR COMMENTS AGAINST THIS REQUEST.
STAFF DOES RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST AS REQUIRED BY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE. AND THERE IS A RENDERING OF WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING.
CAN I ASK ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE START? SURE.
IS IT JUST THE LED PART THAT IT NEEDS TO BE EITHER SHRUNK OR ELIMINATED? CORRECT. IT NEEDS TO BE.
TECHNICALLY, YOU HAVE THE CABINET SIDE THAT IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE LED SIGN.
ACCORDING TO OUR UDC, THE LED SIGN CANNOT EXCEED NO MORE THAN 50% OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE ACTUAL CABINET SIGN.
SO THE LED SIGN WOULD NEED TO BE SHRUNKEN DOWN TO AT LEAST HALF OF THAT.
OKAY. THIS STRUCTURE IS ALREADY UP, RIGHT? CORRECT. YOU DO CURRENTLY HAVE AS SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN.
YOU DO ALREADY HAVE A SIGN THERE.
THEY'RE THEY'RE WANTING TO RENOVATE IT.
SO THAT WAY THEY CAN HAVE THE CABINETS ON TOP AND THEN INCLUDE AN LED SIGN.
SO THAT SAME SIGN THEY'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THE LEDS SIGN RIGHT BELOW IT OR HALF WAY TO IT. RIGHT. WHICH IS THE PICTURE ON THE FOLLOWING SLIDES.
YES. WE ALSO DO HAVE THE SIGN CONTRACTOR HERE AS WELL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AND IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING.
IT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE YOU KNOW THEY HAVE THESE LITTLE SQUARES FOR, FOR THE SIGNS, THE, THE BUSINESSES.
IF THEY MAKE IT SMALLER, IT LOOKS I GUESS THEY WOULD HAVE TO EAT UP LIKE THREE OF THE SIGNS ON THE RIGHT AND THREE ON THE SIGNS ON THE LEFT, AND MAKE THEM SMALLER, RIGHT.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE VARIANCE REQUEST SITE PHOTO AND YOU PRETTY MUCH PUT THE SIZE OF SIGN THAT THAT IS THAT'S ALLOWED.
IT WOULD IT WOULD BE TAKING UP MAYBE THE THE FIRST THREE IN THE MIDDLE.
AND THEN IT'LL EAT UP A LITTLE BIT OF THE, THE THREE ON THE RIGHT AND THREE ON THE LEFT.
THEY WOULD I THINK THEY'RE DOING LIKE A WHOLE RESURFACE OF THAT.
BUT WE DO HAVE THE CONTRACTOR HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO GO AHEAD AND COME ON UP? ALSO, IT IS A PUBLIC HEARING, SO WE DO NEED TO OPEN UP FOR THE PUBLIC. YES, I WAS GOING TO SAY JUST OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. OKAY. WE'LL OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC HEARING. ANYONE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED, PLEASE COME UP AND STATE YOUR NAME.
HELLO. MY NAME IS ANDY VASQUEZ.
I'M WITH THE A-1 SKYLIGHT SIGNS, AND BASICALLY, WE JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO REFURBISH THIS AND PUT THIS SEVEN FOOT MS, YOU KNOW, TO BEAUTIFY IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.
AND WE, THEY WILL BE ADVERTISING JUST FOR THE PLAZA AND FOR THE TENANTS THERE.
IF YOU LIKE THE WHAT YOU'RE WE'RE SAYING IF YOU SHRINK IT MORE, I MEAN, BASICALLY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO.
SO YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THIS ANALYSIS BASED ON THE THE REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE.
DO YOU HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE IF YOU WERE TO COMPLY WITH SMALLER? NO, WE DID NOT. WE HAVE THE SIZE LIKE WHAT WOULD IT WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO STILL FIT THE BUSINESS SIGNS AROUND IT? BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO EXTEND ALL THE WAY TO THE EDGE OF THE, OF THAT SIGN TO THE OTHER END, BASED ON THE SQUARE FOOTAGE ALLOWED.
RIGHT. SO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER LIKE THAT.
YOU CAN'T DO THAT. SO IF YOU MAKE IT SMALLER THEN THE EDGES, YOU'D BE LEFT WITH LIKE WHAT, TWO FEET HERE AND TWO FEET HERE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO IT WOULD BE IRREGULAR.
THESE, THESE BUSINESS SIGNS WOULD BE SMALLER THAN THE ONES ON TOP.
OR YOU'D HAVE TO REDISTRIBUTE THE SIGNS THAT BUSINESS SIGNS.
RIGHT. YEAH. I MEAN, WE COULD HAVE I COULD GET BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH SOME.
I WOULD THINK THAT THE BUSINESS SIGNS THAT ARE THERE STILL NEED TO BE UP, RIGHT? THEY STILL HAVE TO BE UP THERE.
SO YOU HAVE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION SO THAT YOU CAN PUT ALL HOW MANY SIGNS ARE
[00:15:05]
THERE? 15. YEAH. 18 BEFORE.18. 18. SO NOW YOU PUT THIS DIGITAL SIGN.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIND A SPACE FOR, FOR ALL 18 BUSINESSES.
YEAH. IT'S GOING TO BE DIGITAL. SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE PAYING TO ADVERTISE.
SO THEN WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH THE TOP PART.
THE TOP PART YOU COULD PUT LIKE LIKE IF THEY DON'T WANT TO ADVERTISE THEY COULD PUT THEIR NAME UP THERE AND SAY, YOU KNOW, THE DOCTOR'S THERE OR WHATEVER TENANTS THERE. SO I WOULD THINK THEY WANT TO SAVE MONEY OF NOT DEMOLISHING AND RECONSTRUCTING. THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO USE THE EXISTING STRUCTURE.
RIGHT, RIGHT. SO IF YOU DO AND YOU PUT THIS THIS DIGITAL SIGN.
WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE IF IT WOULD BE THE SIZE THAT WE REQUIRE? 53FT²? YEAH, A LOT SMALLER.
WHAT WOULD BE THE LENGTH AND WIDTH WOULD BE 53FT².
SO MAYBE LIKE EIGHT. BY HOW WIDE IS IT RIGHT NOW? THIS THING IS 17. THE TOP ONE IS 17.
THE BOTTOM IS 17. NINE BY SIX GIVES YOU 54.
SO IT'S NINE WIDE. SO 17 MINUS NINE GIVES YOU EIGHT.
SO YOU HAVE FOUR FEET THIS WAY AND FOUR FEET THAT WAY.
YEAH. I MEAN, I COULD RUN THAT BY MY THE CUSTOMER AND GET BACK TO YOU GUYS WITH A YOU DIDN'T MEET WITH THE STAFF TO LOOK AT THIS BEFORE OR NO.
YES. SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE SIGN COMPANY SUBMITTED A BUILDING PERMIT FOR REVIEW. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BUILDING PERMIT, THAT THEY WERE EXCEEDING IT, SO THEY WERE NEEDING TO REDUCE IT.
THAT'S WHEN THE VARIANCE REQUEST CAME UP TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE ABLE TO EXCEED IT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER DIGITAL SIGNS ALONG THAT STREET THAT ARE ABOUT THIS BIG.
ABOUT THIS BIG. NO. THE ONLY ONE THAT I CAN PROBABLY THINK OF IS MAYBE LIKE THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL THAT IS JUST LOCATED A LITTLE BIT NORTH RIGHT BEFORE YOU HIT TRENTON, BUT THAT'S FURTHER AHEAD.
AND THAT IT'S A REASON BEHIND JUST HAVING 54FT².
THAT'S THE REQUIREMENT OVER OVER UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.
WITH THAT, IT'S A REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE THAT IT'S THE LED SIGNS AND ILLUMINATIONS.
ALSO IT'S ONLY 50% ALLOWED OF THE ACTUAL CABINET SIGN.
MEETING OUR REQUIREMENTS OF THE 50%, WE ALSO REQUIRE THAT THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF. THERE'S A REASON BEHIND WHY WE WENT TO ILLUMINATION.
THE CHANGEABLE SIGNS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT ALSO GOES INTO PLAY FOR BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC. IT'S A POSSIBILITY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THAT STREET ON TRENTON, IN THE CORNER, TRENTON AND MCCALL, THERE'S A SIGN THAT'S LIKE REAL CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE STREET.
IT'S LIKE IN YOUR FACE AND IT'S REALLY BIG.
I'VE SEEN IT. IT'S LIKE FOR THAT PLAZA THERE.
YES, FOR TRENTON AND SUGAR, A LITTLE PLAZA ON SUGAR AND TRENTON, ROUGHLY. I THINK IT'S BIG.
AND I CAN SEE HOW THAT'S A COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
AND THAT I THINK THAT'S THE REASON WHY YOU WANT TO MAKE IT.
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE ALSO THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY NEED TO COMPLY WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS ANY LED FLASHING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, AS PART OF OUR BUILDING PERMIT REQUIREMENT, IT'S IT'S A STATE REQUIREMENT.
WE ALSO ADHERE THAT THEY ALSO COMPLY WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR ANY LED FLASHING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT'S ADDRESSED IN OUR UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE AS WELL. OKAY.
WE APPROVE IT AND IT'S DENIED BY THE STATE.
IT COULD BE DENIED BY THE STATE ANYWAY.
YES. AS THEY HAVE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STATE.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE IS THE SIZE OF THE SIGN.
RIGHT. BECAUSE THEY STILL HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE ILLUMINATIONS AND EVERYTHING. ALSO THAT OUR UDC REFLECTS WITH THE STATE.
IT'S ALMOST DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM DRISCOLL, RIGHT? YES. THE ENTRANCE THERE? YES. YOU HAVE PASEO DEL PRADO, ALBERTA.
IT'S ON THE CORNER OF CENTER POINT AND MCCALL.
NO. IT'S QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC THROUGH THERE.
ALL DAY ON THE EVENING? YES. IT'S LOCATED AT THE SOUTH WEST CORNER OF CENTER POINT DRIVE AND MCCALL.
I MEAN, IT LOOKS NICE THE WAY THAT HE HAS IT THERE.
AND IT MAKES SENSE, BUT IT DOESN'T COMPLY.
AND DIDN'T COMPLY WITH THE NET LED WOULD BE LOW.
IF IT'S ACCORDING TO THIS DRAWING, IT WOULD BE LOW TO CLOSER TO THE LEVEL OF THE
[00:20:03]
STREET FOR TRAFFIC, WHICH IT GETS YOUR ATTENTION, BUT IT ALSO DISTRACTS.IT'S MY THOUGHT. IT'S NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE STREET.
I'M SORRY, COULD YOU GO TO THE MICROPHONE? IT'S ABOUT 100FT, GIVE OR TAKE.
IT'S NOT THAT CLOSE TO THE 100FT.
THE STREET. IT GETS THAT MUCH? YEAH.
IT'S NOT THAT CLOSE, IS WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
THE ONE ON TRENTON. IT'S A VERY BUSY TRENT IS VERY BUSY.
AND THEY HAVE THIS SIGN THAT JUST IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT GOT PASSED.
I'M SURE IT'S GOING TO BE CHANGING AND FLASHING. YEAH, AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF IT. RIGHT.
THAT'S RIGHT. I HAVE A QUESTION, RITA.
CAN YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO ME AGAIN? YES. SO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A CABINET SIGN THAT ALSO HAS AN LED SIGN, WHAT THEY CALL AN EMC.
THE CODE STATES THAT YOU HAVE.
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE 50% OF WHAT THE ACTUAL CABINET SIGN IS AS THE LED OR THE EMC.
OKAY. SO IT'S GOING TO VARY BY SIGN.
FOR THIS ONE, THE PRIMARY SIGN IS 108FT².
WELL THIS IS 50%. SO 50% WOULD BE THE 50.
BUT THEY'RE ASKING FOR MORE THAN 50%.
WELL, WHAT I SEE HERE THAT IT'S TAKING UP 50% OF THE ACTUAL SPACE OF THE SIGN.
IT'S ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS THE SIGN.
DOESN'T IT COMPLY? NO, NOT HALF OF THE CABINET.
THEY'RE SAYING THE CODE SAYS THAT THE LED SIGN HAS TO BE HALF OF WHAT THE CABINET SIGN IS. SO THE DETERMINATION OF THE CABINET SIGN IS JUST THIS WHITE PART AREA.
SO TECHNICALLY, THE LED SIGN WOULD HAVE TO BE HALF OF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE WHITE PART.
SO COULD YOU EXTEND THE WHITE TO MAKE TO COMPLY? YOU WOULD HAVE TO EXTEND THE WHITE AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T GO OVER THE 54.
AS LONG AS HE DOESN'T GO OVER 54.
50% OF THE WHITE. RIGHT NOW WE'RE USING THE NUMBER 53FT², BECAUSE THAT IS TECHNICALLY HALF OF WHAT THIS CABINET IS.
SO IF HE WERE TO EXPAND THE WHITE AREA, THEN THE 50 PERCENTAGE GOES UP.
BUT WITHOUT THIS LED, IT WOULD ALL BE WHITE.
SO WHAT HE'S WHAT HE'S DOING IS I'M TAKING 50% OF WHAT'S THERE.
50% OF THE WHITE OF THE OF THE WHITE IS WHAT'S THAT LED SIGN OUT.
YOU'RE YOU WOULD BE LEFT WITH LIKE EVERYTHING BEING WHITE.
SO HE'S SAYING LET ME GIVE YOU I'M GOING TO PUT IT ON 50% OF THE WHOLE THING.
YEAH. YOU'RE SAYING 50%, BUT YOU'RE SAYING 50% OF THE WHITE 50% OF THE WHITE. THAT WILL REMAIN.
YEAH. SO ACCORDING TO THE UDC, IT SAYS IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT AN LED SIGN IN EMC SIGN, IT CAN ONLY BE 50% OF THE CABINET.
UP TO WHAT? UP TO WHAT? WHAT? HOW MUCH COULD HE EXPAND THE WHITE TO MAKE THIS 50%? WHAT WOULD BE THE MAXIMUM SIZE OF THE SCREEN? I CAN DOUBLE CHECK, BUT I THINK THAT THAT WOULD MEAN YOU'D HAVE TO GO UP AT AN ADDITIONAL 150FT². I HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK BECAUSE THERE ARE CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS BASED OFF OF CERTAIN ROADWAYS AS WELL.
UNIVERSITY. OR YOU CAN BRING THAT SIGN DOWN.
I DON'T KNOW. INSTEAD OF WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW.
TO BUILD IT BIGGER, TO BRING IT DOWN LIKE THREE FEET OR SO OR FOUR FEET.
WE DO HAVE A CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT.
AND LET ME POINT OUT, WE DO HAVE A CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT HERE, WHICH HE IS ALREADY MEETING.
SO IF HE WAS TO BRING THE SIGN DOWN THEN HE WOULD NO LONGER BE MEETING THE HEIGHT.
SO EIGHT FEET IS THE REQUIREMENT.
NO, WE JUST HAVE THE HEIGHT CLEARANCE. SO WE'D HAVE TO GO UP JUST BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT THE STRUCTURE.
SINCE IT'S GOING TO WITHSTAND THE RE-ENGINEERED TO BE ABLE TO GO.
HE WOULD BE ABLE TO JUST HAVE TO IF HE WANTED TO SCREEN LIKE THIS.
HE'S JUST TRYING TO GET THIS NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE SIGN.
CAN YOU PUT IT ON? CAN YOU PUT IT ON ON THIS FACE OVER HERE? LIKE IF YOU ROTATE IT 90 DEGREES.
SO NOW IT'S ON THE ON THE EDGE RIGHT HERE LIKE THIS.
SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. SORRY ABOUT THAT.
ALL RIGHT. ANY ANY OTHER COMMENTS, AND WE'LL MOVE FORWARD.
WE'LL CLOSE THE OPEN SESSION AND I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.
ARE WE GOING TO SAY ANYTHING? I WILL.
I DON'T HAVE A REASON TO TO SAY THIS IS OKAY.
SO WE'D HAVE TO GO WITH STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION, IN MY OPINION. OKAY. SO YOUR MOTION, YOUR MOTION IS TO TRY TO.
SO MY MOTION IS TO TO DENY THE REQUEST AS PER STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION.
MOTION I AGREE. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
[00:25:01]
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE DENIAL? IS YOUR RIGHT HAND ALL OPPOSED? THAT MOTION CARRIES. IT'S DENIED.THAT CLOSES OUR PUBLIC HEARING.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? DIRECTOR'S REPORT? YEAH.
IT WAS. LAST CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
[8. DIRECTOR’S REPORT]
THERE WAS ONLY THREE ITEMS THAT WERE DISCUSSED THAT WERE RELATED TO PLANNING AND ZONING. THE FIRST ONE WAS A REZONING WHERE THEY WERE TAKING A COMMERCIAL LOT NEXT TO CUCKOO LANE. IT'S ON THE WEST SIDE OF 107 HERE.AND THEY WERE THEY HAD A MOBILE HOME ON THAT PROPERTY, AND THEY WANTED TO BUILD A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
SO THEY CAME IN FRONT OF THE PNC TO REQUEST A REZONING TO GO FROM COMMERCIAL.
AND IT WAS IN AN AREA THAT HAD A MIXTURE, BUT IT WAS PRIMARILY HOMES.
PNC APPROVED IT AND SO DID COUNCIL.
THE THE LADY SHOWED UP, AND SHE WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUILD HER HOME. SHE WAS VERY HAPPY. THE OTHER TWO WERE THE VARIANCES FOR SIGNS. ONE OF THEM WAS FOR A GREATER BANK, WHICH WAS APPROVED.
THAT ONE WAS JUST ON THE LOCATION OF THE SIGN.
IT DIDN'T HAVE TO DO WITH THE SIZE OR THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.
THE LOT ITSELF HAS A BIG EASEMENT IN THE FRONT.
AND IT WAS APPROVED. AND THEN THE SECOND ONE WAS FOR A FUNERAL HOME.
AND IT'S PRETTY COMMON TO SEE LEGACY HAS IT? RICK BROWN FUNERAL HOME HAS IT WHERE THE FUNERAL HOMES HAVE THE OBITUARIES AND THE UPCOMING SERVICES OF SOME OF THEIR FUNERALS.
ON THOSE LED SIGNS. THERE'S STRICTLY FOR FUNERAL BUSINESS.
AND THAT ONE WAS APPROVED AS WELL BY PNC AND CITY COUNCIL.
OKAY. AND OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S ALL I GOT.
OKAY. THANK YOU. IF WE'RE DONE, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO ADJOURN.
YOU HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
MOTION TO SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? THAT MOTION CARRIES. WE STAND ADJOURNED.
THANK YOU EVERYONE.
