IAA Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. <br />CU R B A N P L A N N I N G • D E S I G N • M A R K E T R E S E A R C H <br />PLANNING REPORT <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br />FROM: Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: 2 December 1993 <br />RE: Little Canada - Market Place Sign <br />Conditional Use Permit /Variance <br />FILE NO: 758.09 - 93.33 <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Market Place owners have applied for a Conditional Use Permit <br />to allow the former Burger King pylon sign to be converted for use <br />by the Market Place. The Sign Ordinance normally allows one <br />freestanding sign per principal use, but allows two for shopping <br />centers by Conditional Use Permit. This section of the Ordinance <br />also requires that only one freestanding sign maybe allowed on <br />each street frontage. A variance is required from that clause to <br />grant this Conditional Use Permit. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The Ordinance allows, by C.U.P., a second freestanding sign for a <br />shopping center complex when three conditions are met in addition <br />to the other standards for signs. These are: <br />1. Only one sign per street frontage and a minimum total of 500 <br />linear, feet of frontage to qualify for 2 signs. <br />2. Signs must meet the 5 foot setback. <br />3. Neither of the two signs may be closer than 40 feet from an <br />intersection. <br />Page 3 <br />5775 Wayzata Blvd. • Suite 555 • St. Louis Park, MN 55416 • (612) 595- 9636•Fax. 595 -9837 <br />
