The Dewey-Humboldt Planning and Zoning Commission will discuss a priority list as part of its meeting at 6 tonight. Last year, Town Council established the list, which includes medical marijuana, a commercial license and permit waiver and Commercial Design review. The Commission will discuss the list and will consider whether or not to arrange a joint session with Council to reassess those items. Also on the agenda are applicable foot notes on the maximum coverage section of the Sign Code. Some of those foot notes include a name plate sign identifying the occupant, attached signs only allowed on the occupants’ building, awning signs only allowed on the ground floor of a building and a Comprehensive Sign Permit required for signs on upper level stories of buildings exceeding 2 stories. The meeting will be held in Council chambers on south Highway 69.

The Prescott Valley Town Council will consider a Zoning Code amendment on political signs at 5:30 tonight. According to Community Development Director Richard Parker, on April 28th of last year, Governor Jan Brewer approved a measure that expands the ability to place political signs in city and town rights of way. However, sign free zones can be established within communities and the Community Development department identified areas adjacent to Highways 89A and 69 as political sign free zones. Those zones were approved by Council last December. With approval, the amendment would establish standards allowing placement of signs in public right of way. Also during tonight’s meeting in the Library Auditorium on Civic Circle, Council will consider items related to Yavapai Hills Incorporated’s withdrawal from the Crossroads Project and conveying its interests to YK Commercial Realty.

The replacement of the historic wall at Ken Lindley Park in Prescott is nearing completion. According to Parks and Recreation Director Joe Baynes, the 1940’s era rock wall at the park has been removed with grading of the redesigned area now 90 percent complete. Baynes indicates in place of the compromised wall will be a slope landscaped with trees and earth tone fractured rock. Labor for the rock installation will be provided by Yavapai County Adult Probation and the project is expected to be done by the end of February. City officials had determined the wall had to be removed due to public safety concerns.

Baynes adds that a short section of the original wall that didn’t present a safety issue has been retained and will be incorporated into the new design.
