Sign Standard Adjustments —Section 1260.01 <br />The Applicant requests flexibility on the size and lighting of the proposed signs. City Code Section <br />1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states "adjustments to the requirements and standards for the <br />height, number, type, lighting, area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter <br />may be approved with a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process." In order to <br />approve an adjustment, the City Council will need to make a determination that the following <br />criteria in the sign code has been satisfied: <br />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, CathXMedical, Inc. is not seeking Sign Standard <br />Adjustments based on site conditions relating to reasonable visibility. A variance was <br />issued to the site in 2004 to increase the north facing wall sign copy area to 90 square <br />foot due to visibility concerns from I-694 and Snelling Ave. The Applicant intends to use <br />the existing variance for the north facing wall sign. It is noted that the sign standard <br />adjustment would provide an architecturally consistent appearance for the building. <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 />Page 6 of 9 <br />
