The proposed sign would be displayed from late July until then end of October 2016, or approximately 90 days. 5. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviation from the Sign Code through the Site Plan Review process. 6. Due to the location of the sign installation, adjustments are needed for the proposed sign to be reasonably visible from Interstate 694. 7. The Sign Code regulations on the permit length of temporary signage would limit the applicant’s ability to effectively promote their campaign to raise public awareness about the importance of pollinators to the economy, food security, and environmental health. 8. The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the I- 1 Zoning District. 9. The sign would not be visible from any residential properties. 10. The sign would not have a negative impact on adjacent properties or the City as a whole because it is consistent with the architecture and design of the Land O’Lakes corporate campus.
