<br />CONTINiJATION OF PL�lNN1NG COMI��ISSION 1ZEVIEW OF CHAPTER 1008 OF THE
<br />MOUNI�S VIEW MiJNICIPAL COBE, "SIGNS."
<br />.lntt°oductron:
<br />At the last meeting of the Planning Comnnission, the def�nitions were reviewed. At this meeiing,
<br />the Planning Commission will discuss ground sigrns, which is io mean,
<br />"A sign principally supported by a structut°e affixed to the ground, and not supporCed by a building,
<br />including signs supported by one or more columns, poles or braces placed in or upon the ground"
<br />Ground signs would include monurneni signs, which a�re defined as,
<br />"A freestcrnding sign attached to ihe ground be means of a freestanding support structure, solyd fram grade to
<br />the top of the sign structure, typically encased or supported by masonry mate�ials. "
<br />,�ascu�sion:
<br />The discusszon should focus on what is currently allowed in our code, namely, the height, �he sign
<br />area, the number of such signs allowed per 1ot, sethacks, etc.
<br />As ths Commission is aware, freestanding signs are allowed in Mounds View as follows:
<br />Zoning District Area �eight �iilbaaa-cis?
<br />R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-O Not A licable Not A licable NO
<br />B-1, B-2 Not A Iicable Not A licable NO
<br />B-3, B-4, i-1 340 s uare feet 35 feet NO
<br />PF, CRP 340 s uare feet 35 feet YES
<br />PUD Undefin�d Undefined YES
<br />As has been discussed, the Cade does not address frees�anding signage for apartment complexes,
<br />churches and other institutional uses. Tkus should be examined and remedied. StaflEbelieves that
<br />disallowing freestanding signs in a�W 1 or B-2 district to be too restrictive and perhaps this should
<br />be reviewed as well. Last, according to 5eciion 1008.08, Subd. 2k, regarding pedestal signs, it
<br />staies tha� only one pedestal sign is allowed per property. This conflicis with the definiiion of a
<br />pedestal sign in Sectiorn 1008.01, which does allow for nnultiple signs under certain conditions.
