d. On January 14, 1999, City Planner denied the appellant's sign application
because the multi-colored sign copy was inconsistent with the sign criteria of one color. The
appellant timely appealed the City Planner's action. On March 10, 1999, the Planning
Commission conducted a hearing to review the appeal. The Commission denied the appeal and
upheld the City Planner's decision. The appellant did not appeal the Commission's action; and
e. On April 1, 1999, the appellant submitted a new, but essentially the same, sign
application for their wall sign. Based on inconsistency with the approved Uniform Sign Program
No. 134, the City Planner denied the sign application on April 8, 1999. The City Planner's action
was timely appealed.

Commission hereby denies the appeal and upholds the City Planner's decision.
