City of Roseville - Planning Commission Minutes for March 1, 2006http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/council/planning/minutes/2006/pm0301.htm Mr. Paschke explained that On April 8, 1996 the Roseville City Council approved a CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT for SuperAmerica allowing the redevelopment of 2295 Rice Street into a gas/convenience store with a vehicle wash. The Council approval was subject to 9 conditions. He added that condition 7 the site improvement and building permit issued were conditioned on the submitted plans, which did not include fuel canopy signage. Hence, in order to allow such signage and AMENDMENT to the 1996 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT is necessary. Mr. Paschke indicated the 1.1 acre (47,916 sq. ft.) parcel is located in a B-2, Retail Business District, and the Comprehensive Plan designates the property as Business. Adjacent land uses include multi-family (apartments) to the south and west and the Hillsborough multi-tenant office buildings to the north. To the Amoco. Mr. Paschke stated that over the past 5 years the he has reviewed proposals for inclusion of signage on fuel canopies. Some canopies are free standing while other, because of proximity to principal structure, most via department review/sign permit issuance, while one was approved as a condition of a Planned Unit Development. These sites include the SuperAmerica on Hamline Avenue, the SuperAmerica at Lexington Avenue and County Road B, the Shell station at Dale Street and County Road B, and the BP Amoco at Fairview Avenue and County Road B2. The Building Official did compile a review of canopy Mr. Paschke explained that the proposal by Speedway SuperAmerica to add signage to the fuel canopy is permitted under Section 1009.08 of the City Code, as interpreted by the Community Development its frontage calculation, which is determined by calculating the square footage of the building front (that sq. ft. or 200 sq. ft.). In the case of the SuperAmerica site it would be afforded up to 150 sq. ft. of building signage. Mr. Paschke, stated existing signage at 2295 Rice Street includes a 24 sq. ft. sign/reader board, a 42 sq. ft. SuperAmerica sign, and a 5 sq. ft. car wash sign for an existing total of 71 sq. ft. The proposal to install/add 2 - 38 sq. ft. illuminated SuperAmerica signs (east and north sides of the upper fuel canopy) would bring the total signage for the site to 147 sq. ft. which is below the maximum 150 sq. ft. allowed in the B-2 District. Mr. Paschke said the staff recommends approval of the CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT request by Speedway SuperAmericea for property at 2295 Rice Street to allow signate to be added to the fuel canopy, subject to conditions. Member Boerigter asked for clarification on proper Planning File number (3711). Member Doherty indicated he does not recall a BP Amoco across the street form the SuperAmerica. The City planner indicated that the fuel station was closer to Highway 36 and may have been a Amoco at one time. Member Wozniak asked how the Planner calculates signage as it applies to this situation (request for canopy signage). The City Planner explained the allowances in Business District and that canopy signs have been permitted in the past. Member Wozniak asked to see the Lawrence Sign proposal and began to ask specific questions different types of signs are calculated. Chair Traynor stated it was interesting how sign is part of structure (fuel canopy), but that the structure is not calculated as part of the sign. The City Planner explained current process/policy. Member Bakeman asked if SA logo were to be included would its square footage be calculated and 2 of 56/7/2006 11.40
