~ ---A~ HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: July 30, 2007 CC Agenda Item 4.C TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: James Lehnhoff, City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #07-017 HealthPartners - Kathleen B. Standing 3930 Northwoods Drive Site Plan Review Request Motion to Approve Planning Case 07-017 for a Site Plan Review at 3930 Northwoods Drive Based on the Findings of Fact and the Submitted Plans as Amended by the Two Conditions in the July 30,2007, Planning Case Report. Backl!round The applicant is proposing to add thirty square feet of wall signage to the side of the building facing Interstate 694 at 3930 Northwoods Drive. The sign would be used to advertise the on-site urgent care services for HealthPartners, which is a conforming use in the I-Flex Zone. The sign would be a standard static sign, and it would be internally lit. There is one existing wall sign on the same side of the building as the proposed sign (facing 1-694), which is approximately 188.3 square feet. There are no other wall signs on the building. The subject property is located in Sign District 7, which limits total wall signage to 45 square feet. Section 1260.01 of the Sign Code permits deviations from the sign regulations through the site plan review process if a specific set of criteria are met, which is addressed in the report to the Planning Commission. The applicant has submitted a letter explaining the request; a picture of the existing wall and monument signage; a picture of the proposed wall sign; and a picture showing how the proposed sign would look on the building (Attachment 3E-l of the report to the Planning Commission). \\Metro-inet.uslardenhillslPlanninglPlanning Cases\2007\07-017 Health Partners Site Plan Review (PC APPROVAL)\073007 ~ CC Report- Health Partners Site Plan Review.doc Page 1 DB
