B. Sign Standard Adjustments, Section 1260.01 The Applicant requests flexibility for the location of wall signage. City Code Section 1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states "adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process." In order to approve an adjustment, the City Council will need to make a determination that the following criteria in the sign code has been satisfied: 1. Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be reasonably visible from a street immediately adjacent to the site. According to the Applicant, the sign adjustment is required to identify and orientate customers to tenant entrances. Both tenants have entrances on the southwest elevation of the building and they are concerned with visitors misidentifying their location. 2. Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of the site. The Applicant has stated the proposed wall signage design will be complimentary of the colors and features of the building. 3. Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use. According to the Applicant, the proposed wall signage is consistent with the zoning district and 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Application Review 1355.04 Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be brought before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal. Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and recommendations as to the application, to the City Council. Under Section 1355.06 subd.4, an application for an amendment shall be administered in the same manner as required for a new application. Any structural alteration, enlargement or intensification change in site plan, or similar change not specially permitted, shall require City Council action and all procedures shall apply as if a new application were being requested; provided, however, that when such changes are deemed to be insignificant by the Zoning Administrator, the requirements of a public hearing may be waived.
