The proposed language above removes the ability to have two-sided menu board signs and <br />describes where menu board signs are permitted to be located. The proposed height standard is <br />constant with existing ordinance standards for auxiliary signs in Sign District 4. When determining <br />the appropriate surface area staff reviewed the Applicants proposed language, currently approved <br />sign permits. It was determined that the Applicant proposed sign surface area of 36 square feet <br />would create some of the existing drive-through signs to be non -conforming. However, all of the <br />existing drive-through menu board signs in the community are only slightly larger and are under <br />40 square feet. Based on the findings staff is proposing utilizing 40 square feet as the maximum <br />sign surface area. This is also constant with other municipalities within the metro. <br />The community has a number of existing drive-throughs locations with more than one (1) menu <br />board or pre -menu board sign. The intent of limiting the number of drive-through menu board <br />signs to two (2) is to ensure the existing signs are in conformance and allows a user to have two <br />(2) menu board signs as long as they don't exceed the maximum permitted size of a single menu <br />board. The intent of subdivision five (5) is to provide standards for traditional drive-through menu <br />board signs and digital displays. The Applicant submitted ordinance language requested the <br />ability to allow menu boards signs to change up to three (3) times per day. Upon review the <br />existing drive-through establishments within the community currently offer a sperate breakfast <br />menu from their traditional menu and that is the rational behind allowing signs to change twice <br />per day. The proposed ordinance language requires all proposed signs remain static in order to <br />meet the intent of the existing paper menus. After reviewing the Applicants draft ordinance <br />language in subsection C staff determined that all drive-through menu board signs shall be turned <br />off when the drive-through facility is closed. Turning off the screens would be similar practice as <br />turning off the lights on existing menu boards. Subsection E is intended to limit the noise impacts <br />on adjacent properties and subsection E are intended to address provide motor vehicles with clear <br />vision in drive-through lanes. <br />All of the proposed amendments are consistent with Section 1200.02, Subsection 2 of the Sign <br />Code. The Applicant submitted their finding and is provided and can be found in exhibit B. The <br />proposed amendments have been provided in Attachment A. The City Attorney has reviewed and <br />approved of the proposed changes. <br />Proposed Motion Language <br />1.
