The property owner has indicated that the <br />updated signage would provide a uniform look to complement the other signage on the property, <br />create better visibility for the business and the products and services they provide to the <br />community, and enhance the visual aesthetic to the traveling public. <br /> <br />The applicant has provided a project narrative explaining the request (Attachment A) and the <br />sign renderings/plans for the property depicting the proposed and existing signage (Attachment <br />B). <br /> <br />2. Sign Evaluation <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Section 1240.02 of the Sign Code regulates the types of wall signage permitted within the City. <br />This particular property is classified in the Sign Code as “other commercial or industrial district <br />without frontage on a roadway designated”, therefore, standards for Sign District 7 apply in this <br />case. In this district, the Code permits no more than forty-five (45) square feet of sign copy area <br />for wall signage, and no more than one (1) freestanding sign on any site except in cases where <br />properties front more than one (1) public street. <br /> <br />Section 1325.05 Subd. 6 of the City’s Design Standards states that the City should evaluate the <br />impact of the proposal in regards to design, scale, massing, materials, height, and other similar <br />project aspects. The City should also evaluate if the project would cause substantial depreciation <br />in the property values in the surrounding area or detract from the appearance of the area or the <br />City as a whole. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Sign District 7 Wall Signage <br />(Sign Copy Area) <br />Square Feet <br />Freestanding Signage <br />(Sign Copy Area) <br />Square Feet <br />Permitted Signage 45 25 (Per Frontage) <br />Existing Signage <br />Hwy 10 Frontage 25 72 <br />I-35W Frontage 180 -- <br />Total 205 72 <br />Proposed Signage <br />Hwy 10 Frontage 25 72 <br />I-35W Frontage 165 -- <br />Total 190 72
