Interim Use Permit: An interim use permit (IUP) must be obtained in accordance with procedures identical in form and substance to the conditional use permit procedures found in Section 1125.01, subdivision 3 of the Mounds View Municipal Code. Any IUP interim use permit issued for an interim use billboard shall automatically expire no later than December 31, 2023 July 1, 2037 or earlier if so indicated in the resolution approving the IUP or when the lease agreement for the billboard expires whichever date is earlier. An Such IUP shall be null-and-void if the applicant fails to obtain any required permit from the State of Minnesota. (Ord. 644, 12-13-99; Ord. 656, 3-27-00; Ord. 679, 5-29-01; Ord. 708, 12-30-02) b. Location: The billboard must be located along and north of State US Highway 10 (old 118), Interstate 35W or Old Highway 8. The applicant must have an approved lease agreement with the property owner. The billboard shall be oriented towards State US Highway 10 (old 118) and/or I35W. Billboards must be located at least two hundred fifty feet (250') from residentially zoned property. Billboards may be located adjacent to the right-of-way of a street or highway, but no part thereof shall extend over such right-of-way. (Ord. 644, 12-13-99; Ord. 679, 5-29-01) c. Minimum Spacing: The minimum spacing between Billboards must be at least seven hundred fifty feet (750’) apart five hundred feet (500’). Spacing between signs shall be measured by projecting the nearest points of the signs to the property line of the right-of-way from which they are intended to be read and measuring the distance in a straight line between the projected points. Required spacing shall apply only to billboards on the same side of the same roadway. (Ord. 644, 12-13-99; Ord. 679, 5- 29-01; Ord. 708, 12-30-02) d. Maximum Sign Area: The maximum gross surface display area of the sign cannot exceed seven hundred (700) square feet per side except that any rectangular billboard may contain temporary extensions, cutouts, or top lettering which occupy a total area not in excess of twenty five percent (25%) of the area of the basic billboard and form an integral part of the design thereof. No such temporary extension, cut out, or top lettering may project more than six feet (6') from the top, eighteen inches (18") from either side or fifteen inches (15") from the bottom of the basic rectangular advertising message. The area of an extension, cutout, or top lettering shall be deemed to be the area of the smallest rectangle into which such extension, cutout, or top lettering will fit. (Ord. 644, 12-13-99; Ord. 679, 5-29-01) e. Orientation of Sign Faces: Billboards may have no more than two (2) sign faces. Sign faces must be back-to-back with sign faces parallel or angled. All billboards with their faces back-to-back and parallel shall have no greater distance than eight feet (8') between the faces. All billboards with faces at an angle shall have no greater angle than thirty-five degrees (35°). (Ord. 644, 12-13-99; Ord. 679, 5-29-01)
