AGENDA ITEM 6.0 • STAFF ORIGINATOR: Paul Bengtson CC MEETING DATE: February 27, 2006 • • TOPIC: 1st Reading of Ordinance 02 -06 PUD Amendment — Legacy at Woods Edge Signage Criteria City of Lino Lakes VOTE REQUIRED: 4/5 BACKGROUND Staff has crafted a final draft of the Signage Criteria for the Legacy at Woods Edge project (Lino Lakes Town Center). This criterion is intended to be added to the existing Lino Lakes Town Center Design and Development Guide as Chapter 5. The majority of the elements of these signage criteria were adapted from the original proposal for Chapter 5, which was eliminated prior to the approval of the guide (Ordinance 04 -04) in 2004. This was augmented by researching other similar mixed -use types of communities, other signage ordinances, and the recently amending city signage ordinance (Ordinance 05 -05). Chapter 5 is broken into 7 sections, as listed below: 5.1 Free Standing Signs Intended to minimize the free standing signs allowed within the development to those identifying the entire development, those for public and quasi - public single tenants setback substantially from rights -of -ways, and directional signage to lead the public through the development. 5.2 Building Signs Intended to control the size of signage while still allowing businesses to be clearly identified. Some flexibility in the design and style of building signage is built in to encourage businesses to augment building elevations and create a visually interesting building facade. 5.3 Temporary Signs Requirements are very similar to those adopted by the city during the recent revision of the sign code. Some changes were made to keep the Legacy at Woods Edge area at a slightly higher standard. Specifically, banners are prohibited. 5.4 Illumination Intended to allow both identifying illumination as well as accentuation of buildings/businesses. Prohibits the use of electronic message /reader boards.
