Chair Blank suggested that staff can just do an over - the - counter approval for everything but the halo illumination. Ms. Stern indicated that the staff report includes an exhibit with conditions which allow for an alternative as well, so staff can approve it. Mr. Dolan stated it would be best if the Commission articulates the outcome it wants. He noted that his understanding of it right now with the consensus seems to be that the applicant can have all the exceptions they have requested except for the illumination. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the location of the sign on the fagade is still an issue for staff. Mr. Dolan replied that it is an issue, but as big of an issue when compared to the illumination. He noted that the other sign is very clean and just fits nicely architecturally. Commissioner Pearce inquired if it would matter procedurally if the Commission denies or upholds the appeal should the applicants say they really want internal illumination. Ms. Seto said no. She explained that applicants can always appeal the Commission's decision, even if that decision is an approval, if, for example, there are conditions of approval they do not agree with. Chair Blank moved to uphold the appeal of Case P12 -1771, with the sole condition that internal lighting not be permitted and all other exceptions waivable at the discretion of staff. Commissioner O'Connor seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE: AYES: Commissioners Blank, O'Connor, Pearce, and Posson. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. RECUSED: Commissioner Narum. ABSENT: Commissioner Olson. Resolution No. PC- 2013 -24 upholding the appeal of Case P12 -1771 was entered and adopted as motioned. Commissioner Narum returned to the dais. 7.
