Page 12 of 19 <br />The Applicant is not proposing a bicycle rack/bicycle parking as part of this development. City <br />Code Section 1325.05 Subd, 8, Q does require one (1) space for every 20 parking spaces. <br />Commercial developments are required to have a minimum of two (2) bicycle parking spaces. <br />J. Freestanding Signs – Flexibility Requested <br />Properties in Sign District 5 are allowed one (1) freestanding sign measuring up to 100 square <br />feet in area and not exceeding 16 feet in height. Freestanding signs shall be located at least five <br />(5) feet from any property line. The Applicant is proposing a monument sign along Lexington <br />Avenue as shown on the site plan in compliance with setbacks requirements. The proposed <br />internally illuminated freestanding sign is 10.25 feet in height and has a total sign copy area of <br />54 square feet. Also, the total area of a freestanding sign shall also not exceed 1.5 times the <br />permitted sign copy area of a freestanding sign which would be 81 square feet for this <br />application. The proposed freestanding sign has a total area of 149.45 square feet. Sign <br />materials are noted to be consistent with building materials and base materials will be brick. The <br />sign plans are shown in Attachment G. <br />The master sign plan submitted by the Applicant includes two (2) freestanding signs along Grey <br />Fox Road at the access which are identified as directional signage. The city code defines an <br />auxiliary sign as “a sign that provides direction for internal circulation, parking or entry, <br />restrictions on parking, security warnings, or other similar primarily noncommercial signs that <br />are directed at people that are entering, exiting, or on a particular property. Auxiliary signs do <br />not include outdoor advertising signs.” The sign ordinance specifies that an auxiliary sign shall <br />not be larger than eight (8) square feet and that more than two (2) signs per site requires Planning <br />Commission review and City Council approval. The proposed signs are approximately 7 square <br />feet with internal illumination. Auxiliary signs under the sign code may not be illuminated. <br />Master Sign Plan Site Plan <br />
