Required landscaping must conform to Section 903.020 G. of the City Ordinance. A detailed landscape plan should be submitted before a building permit is granted. Signs: There currently exists two freestanding signs on the total de- velopment, one for each of the two roads which abutt the facility. The applicant is proposing to construct two more freestanding signs along County Road B. Under City Ordinance regulation 903.110 E., which regu- lates the use of signs, provision 5.b. allow for a maximum of two (2) freestanding signs. Relative to the total development size of all the buildings included in the mini- storage facility, the maximum sign area for one face of a two faced sign cannot exceed 200 square feet in area and 25 feet in height (provision 5.c.3.). The maximum sign height may be increased by one (1) foot for each three (3) feet of setback in addi- tion to the required five (5) feet. Should the applicant decide to use wall signs, total signage cannot exceed fifteen (15) percent of the gross silhouette area of the front of the building (5.a.). Before granting a building permit, we recommend the City be provided with a detailed sign plan that shows the locations, height, and sizes of all signs for the total mini- storage facility.
