Ground signs may be of equal sign area allowed for pylon signs in the same <br />zoning district. Ground signs shall be limited to a maximum height of 8 feet. Ground <br />signs may be set back from street rights of way a distance equal to Yz of the setback from <br />pylon signs in the same zoning district. <br /> <br />2.3 Section 1009.04Al and A2 discuss the allowances for signs in residential zones. <br />However, this Code section does not mention city and/or public signs and specific <br />allowances. <br /> <br />2.4 The City Planner has concluded that a ground sign (monument sign) of up to 50 square <br />feet in size, no taller than 8 feet in height, and set back a minimum of 15 feet from the <br />property line is a reasonably sized and placed sign for an institutional use like an <br />elementary school. The new sign will replace an existing sign of similar size. <br /> <br />3.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION: <br /> <br />3.1 BY MOTION APPROVE THE SIGN as a feplacement for the existing sign fOf <br />Brimhall Elementary School, up to 50sq. ft. in size, no taller than 8 feet in height, and <br />set back a minimum of 15 feet from the property line adjacent to County Road B. <br /> <br />NOTE: In the near future the City will have a similar request for signage around the City <br />Hall complex. <br /> <br />PF3607_RCA_l10804.docPage 1 ofl <br />
