Signage Up to 200 square feet of wall-mounted signage is permitted on the building, and up to 100 square feet (per side) of additional sign area may be installed on a freestanding sign. The wall-mounted sign area may be distributed on the north, east, and south sides of the building. Refer to Chapter 1009 of the City Code for more information. The setback for a pylon (pole) sign is 30 feet from the front property line. Although the City Code currently permits pole signs, the Code is being rewritten, and the Community Development Department staff no longer supports such signs. Use of a ground or monument sign is strongly recommended; if such a sign were proposed, the front yard setback would be reduced to 15 feet. Lighting All lighting on the site must be full cutoff, and light levels at the lot lines facing the residential properties may not exceed '/2 foot-candle (§ 1010.12). Any existing pole lighting that does not conform to these standards must be removed or shut off. While there are no height requirements for pole lights, the City desires the use of pedestrian-friendly forms and styles. Trash Enclosure and Rooftop Equipment Rooftop equipment must be screened according to § 1010.07. Trash handling equipment must be fully enclosed and roofed, either within the primary building or in an attached structure (§ 1010.11). Other Considerations ■ If the store will utilize delivery vehicles like those used by other auto parts stores, these may not be parked along the Rice Street frontage. ■ Subject to the above items, there is nothing preventing the approval of the overall site layout as it has been proposed in the concept plan. However, given that access to the site is from the north side of the property, it's conceivable that the building could be shifted east, closer to Rice Street — more in line with the existing adjacent buildings — allowing the bulk of the parking to be moved to the rear of the site. Because this would help to improve the walkability of the area by relating better to the sidewalk and off-street bike path along Rice Street, it would be strongly supported by the Planning Commission. Such a reorganization of the site would also allow rear access to the trash enclosure and provide concealed parking for delivery vehicles if they are to be used in the future. ■ Unless additional reviews by the DRC are requested, the City is prepared to receive and review plans according to § 1010.15 of the City Code.
