<br />Increase the allowance for ground signs to 50 sq. ft. (same as neighborhood <br />business district). The City currently allows 36 sq. ft. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Board recommended no change. <br /> <br /> <br />Increase the allowance for wall signs to 100 sq. ft. or 10% of the wall surface <br />area whichever is greater. This is consistent with our commercial district <br />provisions. The City currently allows one wall sign with a maximum size of <br />50 sq. ft. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Board recommended no change. The board <br />did suggest consideration of adding Churches to uses allowed within <br />Public/Semi-Public zoning districts. The PSP district allowed signage is <br />the same as the GB, General Business District. <br /> <br /> <br />2.Change the number of wall signs allowed to one per street frontage in commercial <br />districts. The city currently limits the number of wall signs to one unless the <br />business fronts 2 streets. In this case a second sign is allowed. The proposed <br />change would allow signs on more than two facades if fronting more than 2 <br />streets. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Board recommended this change. Staff is <br />proposing additional modification to allow signage on all walls with the <br />following limitations: 10% of wall area on street facing walls and 5% <br />percent on all other walls. No illuminated sign may face land zoned <br />residential or guided residential by the comprehensive plan (this does not <br />include across a street). <br /> <br />Temporary signs: <br /> <br /> <br />1.Provide for a temporary sign allowance of 90 days annually. This is roughly <br />equivalent to one week a month. Business owners would determine dates but <br />display would be limited to no more than 30 consecutive days. Staff will need to <br />further review the permitting process to accommodate the 90 day allowance. The <br />City currently allows one permit each quarter for a maximum of 17 days each <br />totaling 68 days. <br /> <br /> <br />With this change additional consideration should be given to the number of <br />temporary signs allowed on multi-tenant properties at one time. Staff <br />recommends that only one sign be allowed on the property at any single time. <br />The property owner would be responsible for arranging signage allowances <br />with tenants. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Board recommended this change with a <br />requirement that a maximum of 3 signs be allowed on multi-tenant <br />properties at any one time. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
