The proposal of twenty square feet of wall signage for each unit would be in eonformance with the general sign regulations. However, the additional end signs would increase the total wall sign area for units I, 9, 10, and 18 to forty square feet, which exceeds the 30 square foot maximum for each individual unit. Additionally, if units 19 - 23 are used as one condo unit, the sign regulations would consider the building to be one unit. Therefore, units 19-23 would only be permitted 30 square feet of wall sign area. Ifthe front of the building is using one twenty square foot wall . sign, the rear of the building would only be permitted ten square feet of wall signage under the general sign regulations. As noted in the chart, the applicant has requested the rear sign to be 60 square feet. When the City Council reviewed a similar development at the subject property on July 11 lh, 2005, the Council voted to limit eaeh unit to a maximum of four square feet of signage plus an additional one square foot sign for the address of each unit Since this topic will be a point of discussion, the current conditions reflect the newest proposal from the applicant, which is meant to act as an upper limit to the signage that eould be at the development. 7.
