RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Staff recommends a continuance to the April 23, 2019 meeting. The Board may accept public comment and keep the record open until the next meeting.
BACKGROUND:
A continuance for this item has been requested by the McLoughlin Neighborhood Association. The City is required by Oregon Revised Statute to grant requests for conitnuances when made at the first hearing.
The applicant submitted this application to request approval of one projecting sign and two wall signs on the exterior façade of the I.O.O.F Hall at 602 7th Street.

The proposed height of the sign is 4 feet 10 inches, and the width when viewing straight on is 10 feet. When viewing from the side, each sign face is 6 feet 10 inches in length and 33 square feet. The sign projects about 6 feet out from the building. The design of the sign is a marquee that is inspired by theater signs in the 1920s and 1930s.

The wall signs are aluminum with illuminated lettering. Each sign is approximately 2 feet in height and 7 to 8 feet in length.
