_________________________________________________________________________________________ <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for February 8, 2017 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2017\PC 17-004 - Sign Code Amendment\Memos_Reports_17-004 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />Projecting Signs <br />The Sign Code defines a projecting sign as a sign, other than a wall sign, that projects more than <br />18 inches from the building façade. These types of signs are not permitted in Arden Hills, New <br />Brighton, or Shoreview. Roseville regulates them as a wall sign, and they may only project up to <br />30 inches from the building façade. Mounds View allows them with a set square footage by <br />zoning district. The TCAAP Redevelopment Code allows the lesser of a set square footage or <br />15% of the façade area. They may project no more than 50% of the width of the sidewalk, or six <br />feet from the building façade line, whichever is less. <br /> <br />Temporary Signs <br />For temporary signs, Arden Hills allows up to half of the area allowed for permanent wall or <br />freestanding signage to be displayed on three occasions throughout the year, with a maximum of <br />10 days each time. Businesses may also combine the three occasions to display a temporary sign <br />for one 30-day period per year. Other cities’ regulations are as follows: <br />• Roseville: Allows a maximum of 32 square feet up to 60 days in one year. <br />• New Brighton: Allows up to 32 square feet on four occasions, up to 14 days each. <br />• Shoreview: Allows either 32 or 64 square feet (depending on building size) on four <br />occasions, up to 14 days each. <br />• Mounds View: Allows temporary signage on four occasions, with a maximum of 21 days <br />each. Can obtain a fifth permit for a banner only. <br />• TCAAP Redevelopment Code: Maximum area of 150 square feet or 10% of the façade <br />area, whichever is less. Maximum of thirty days per calendar year. <br /> <br /> <br />Next Steps <br /> <br />Based on the direction provided by the Planning Commission, staff will complete additional <br />research on possible revisions to the Sign Code. Staff will bring this item back to the Planning <br />Commission for further discussion and review recommendations with the City Council before a <br />public hearing is scheduled for any changes to the Sign Code. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A.
