Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit Amendment #234(A), change of signage restrictions for Supermarket, 8020 Olive, Unit A Chairperson Marsh announced that a public hearing was scheduled to hear an application from O'Neil's Markets d.b.a.

The Chairperson called upon the applicant.

The existing sign will remain the same size but have only the words "Grandpa's" on the top half and "Food For Less" on the bottom half. He stated that it is his understanding that there was a condition put on the property long ago that required each new occupant to come before the City Council and Plan Commission for new approval on all signs. The new sign will benefit public safety by making the entrance and location easier to find for motorists on Olive. The sign will fall within the requirements for signage as stated in the University City Sign Code. Chairperson Marsh called on Planning Director Al Goldman to provide the staff report. Mr. m-l-2S.plc
