A. Case Number DR-18-04:A request by Destination Caldwell for Design Review
approval to paint a mural on the back wall of the building located at 123 S. 7th
Avenue (The Lowell Building).
Testimony:
Jarom Wagoner, Senior Planner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, ID 83605, presented the staff
report and stated that the applicant is requesting design review approval paint a mural on
the back wall of the building located at 123 S. 7th Avenue (The Lowell Building).
This is for approval for a mural located within the City Center district for Destination
Caldwell. They are proposing a mural to front the plaza on the backside of the skating rink.
Also part of this is a variance for the business name. In the downtown core for a mural to be
painted on the wall does not allow for business names to be painted. The reason for that is
businesses change from time to time and so code was changed to not allow for business
names for a mural. This business is not one that would come and then go it will be around
for a while. We foresee this to be there for a substantial amount of time. Commissioner
Weston asked if this was a variance with a hardship.
Mr.Wagoner stated that the sign wouldn't make sense to be on the front of the building. He
will defer this to the applicant.

Commissioner Dodge stated that in their packet they do have options A, B and C. Is C the
final design?
Mr. Wagoner stated yes.
Commissioner Hall asked if this were for any other business would they be required to have
a flag sign?
Mr. Wagoner stated yes,a blade sign.
Wisti Rosenthal, 106 S. Kimball Ave., Caldwell, Idaho testified that the City owns the plaza
and the City owns this building. The City paid for the infrastructure and hardscape and
landscaping. Destination Caldwell is responsible for paying for the signage,beautification,
tables, benches and things like that. What they are trying to do is keep a brand on the plaza
that goes together and is a cohesive brand. We wanted to make it very obvious to the public
where to go.
