Compare Parkside Tower sign district conditions

Why now: City Council is holding its public hearing on September 9, 2026 after the City Plan Commission approved amended conditions 15-0 on August 6, 2026.

What to do: Obtain and reconcile the staff, Sign District Advisory Committee, and City Plan Commission condition sets before finalizing tower-sign design, permits, or vendor scopes. The proposal creates a new sign subdistrict while reducing the Downtown Perimeter Subdistrict area, so an unverified condition change could make a planned sign package noncompliant.

Trace Parkside Tower sign district boundary change

Why now: The August 6 City Plan Commission item describes creation of a new subdistrict, while the September 9 City Council item additionally describes a reduction in the Downtown Perimeter Subdistrict; the commission vote was 15-0.

What to do: Request the staff report, advisory committee amendments, City Plan Commission amendments, and proposed ordinance redline to determine when the Downtown Perimeter Subdistrict reduction was added and how much area it removes. The two recorded appearances describe the proposal differently, leaving the public without a clear account of the boundary change before Council acts.
