Downtown Design Review Board - August 13, 2026

The City of Salina's Downtown Design Review Board convened on August 13, 2026, to consider application CC2612 submitted by Megan Shafer on behalf of Lumio Signs. The application sought approval for a certificate of compatibility to install identification signage on the City Lights Pavilion entrance arch, a necessary step before a sign permit could be issued. The proposed signage consists of non-illuminated black letters sized appropriately to the arch, designed to enhance visitor recognition without dominating the streetscape. Staff recommended approval, noting the sign's compliance with zoning and downtown design guidelines. The board discussed design details, including letter spacing, and clarified that colored panels on the arch were not part of the signage permit. After public comments expressing support, the board unanimously approved the application with staff conditions. No other business was conducted, and the meeting was adjourned.
