CONSENT ITEM – 5F City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for April 25, 2016 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-006 - Scherer Brothers Lumber Co. - Site Plan Review\Memos_Reports_16-006 Page 4 of 5 4. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing 180 square foot wall sign along the frontage of Interstate 35W and replace it with an updated 165 square foot wall sign along the same frontage. 5. That the total wall signage on the property will be reduced from 205 square feet to 190 square feet. 6. That Section 1260.01 of the Sign Code permits deviations from the Sign Code with an approved Site Plan Review and Sign Standard Adjustment. 7. That the Sign Standard Adjustments will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose or intent of the I-2 General Industrial District. 8. That increasing the amount of wall signage would not have a negative impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole. 9. That site conditions require a sign adjustment for the proposed sign to be reasonably visible from the interstate highway adjacent to the site. Recommendation The findings of fact for the Site Plan Review and Sign Standard Adjustment support approval. However, if the City Council chooses to deny the application, the findings of fact would need to be amended to reflect the reasons for the denial. The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 16-006 at their regular meeting on April 6, 2016, and unanimously recommends approval (7-0) of a Site Plan Review and Sign Standard Adjustment to allow for a deviation from the Sign Code in order to increase the amount of permitted wall signage at the property located at 4797 Highway 10, based on the finding of fact and submitted plans, as amended by the four (4) conditions in the April 25, 2016, Report to the City Council. 1. That the project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City Council. 2. That the total wall signage on the building shall not exceed 190 square feet. 3. That the existing 180 square foot wall sign along Interstate 35W shall be removed. 4. That the applicant shall apply for a sign permit prior to the installation of the new sign. Proposed Motion Language 1. Approve the proposal as submitted. 2. Approve the proposal with conditions (Recommended Action). 3. Deny the application with reasons for denial.
