Summary:

BHB&L would like to install a large on-premises sign which would be visible from the interstate to draw more traffic to the VIC. The sign is not video or electronic and would only display on-premises messages. Because of the land the City transferred to Cabella’s, the lot the VIC sits on technically has no street frontage and therefore cannot build a sign. If the land would not have been transferred, there would have been enough frontage to legally obtain a permit for the sign they propose.

 

BHB&L has requested that the City authorize a sign permit. This is not an accurate description of its request. The VIC is currently in a planned development. The VIC can request approval of the sign they propose, but it will take a major amendment to the planned development. Since the City owns the lot the VIC is requesting the City’s authorization to make and be a co-applicant on the VIC’s request for a major amendment to install the sign. If approved the VIC would then work through the planning process and the amendment would need to be approved by the Planning Commission.

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

None
