Page 3 of 5 <br />The Applicant is seeking flexibility for the location of wall signage. The two tenants are proposing <br />that each would continue to install three wall signs. However, two of those wall signs would be <br />installed on the same building elevation (i.e. rear elevation). Under the proposed signage plan, the <br />tenants would no longer be installing a wall sign on the north/northeast elevation (i.e. front <br />elevation). As proposed, the total square footage of wall signage for the tenants remains the same. <br />The Applicant has noted that they shall accept all other city standards for the signage on the <br />building. Properties in Sign District 6 are allowed wall signs up to 60 square feet. All of the <br />proposed square footages are under 60 square feet and comply with the sign district requirements. <br />All proposed signage is noted to be internally lit. The signage plans are shown in Attachment D. <br />B. Sign Standard Adjustments, Section 1260.01 <br />The Applicant requests flexibility for the location of wall signage. City Code Section 1260.01, <br />Sign Standard Adjustments states “adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, <br />number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be <br />approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process.” In order to approve <br />an adjustment, the Planning Commission will need to make a determination that the following <br />criteria in the sign code has been satisfied: <br />1. Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be <br />reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site. <br />According to the Applicant, the sign adjustment is required to identify and orientate <br />customers to tenant entrances. Both tenants have entrances on the southwest elevation of <br />the building and they are concerned with visitors misidentifying their location. <br />2. Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will <br />enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site. <br />The Applicant has stated the proposed wall signage design will be complimentary of the <br />colors and features of the building. <br />Proposed flexibility for <br />location of wall signage. <br />Wall signage compliant <br />with Sign District 6.
