Character in order to provide appropriate flexibility in the regulation of street graphics through
the adoption of special regulation for these areas that can vary from the regulations contained
within the City's Street Graphics Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, in its Ordinance No. G25-08, has designated the Randall
Point West Subdivision as part of the Randall Road/I 90 Area of Special Character (the "Randall

graphics within the Randall Point West Subdivision as part of the Randall Road/I 90Area of
Special Character; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Development Commission held a public hearing
concerning the proposed special regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Planning and Development Commission has submitted its written
findings and recommendation that the requested special regulations for street graphics be denied;
and
WHEREAS, the Community Development Group has submitted its written findings and
recommendation that the requested special regulations for street graphics be granted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously determined that the Randall Road/I 90 Area
of Special Character has unique characteristics including the area's location, topography and
being adjacent to U.S. Interstate 90; and

consistent with the unique character and unique use of the Randall Road/I 90 Area of Special
Character and departures from the street graphics ordinance as contained within such proposed
special regulations are limited to address the unique and particular area characteristics and use
characteristics of the Randall Point West Subdivision portion of the Randall Road/I 90 Area of
