<br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for May 29, 2018 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-009 - 1290 County Road F - Site Plan Review\Memos_Reports_18-009 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />1. The property at 1290 County Road F West is located in the R-4 – Multiple Dwelling <br />District and in Sign District 3. <br />2. Section 1250.02 of the Sign Code allows the property to display one temporary wall sign <br />with a maximum area of 10 square feet for a maximum duration of 30 days per calendar <br />year. <br />3. Section 1250.02 of the Sign Code allows buildings or parcels with space for lease to have <br />one temporary wall sign up to 25 square feet in size to be displayed until seven days after <br />a building or parcel is fully leased. <br />4. The applicant has proposed installing one temporary wall sign measuring 240 square feet <br />in area on the south building elevation facing Interstate 694 and one temporary wall sign <br />measuring 198 square feet in area on the north building elevation facing County Road F <br />West. <br />5. The applicant has proposed displaying the two temporary wall signs from the date a Sign <br />Permit is issued until November 1, 2018. <br />6. Section 1260 of the Sign Code permits deviation from the Sign Code through the Site <br />Plan Review process. <br />7. The permitted size of temporary wall signs will limit the owner’s ability to effectively <br />advertise the availability of apartment units for rent given the size of the building and the <br />distance the building is setback from Interstate 694 and County Road F West. <br />8. The applicant has requested to extend the duration of time that the temporary wall signs <br />can be displayed due to the expected decrease in traffic as a result of the County Road F <br />West reconstruction project. <br />9. The proposed signs would not be in direct view from residential properties. <br />10. The sign standard adjustment would not result in signs that are inconsistent with the <br />purpose of the R-4 – Multiple Dwelling District. <br />11. The proposed signs are not expected to have a negative impact on adjacent properties or <br />the City as a whole. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission recommended approval (4-0) of Planning Case 18-009 for a Site Plan <br />Review for a Sign Standard Adjustment at 1290 County Road F West, based on the findings of <br />fact and the submitted plans in the May 29, 2018 Report to the City Council, as amended by the <br />following six (6) conditions: <br /> <br />1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the <br />conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by the City <br />Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and City <br />Council. <br />2. The temporary wall sign on the south building elevation shall be no larger than 240 <br />square feet. <br />3. The temporary wall sign on the north building elevation shall be no larger than 198 <br />square feet.
