Planning Commission Planning Case No. 464-96: 2375 Highway 10 November 6, 1996 Page 3 Signage The existing signage includes the following: • existing pylon sign 10'x 10' on 26'high supports; area= 100 sq.ft. • existing wall sign 23" x 26.5'; area= 50.8 sq.ft. • used car sign, ground mounted 8' 6-1/2" x 5'=42.7 sq.ft. • miscellaneous small directional signs The total signage on the site is 193.5 square feet. All of the signage has approved permits. The B-3 district allows for 100 square feet per business occupant,and one general pedestal sign not exceeding 340 square feet. Only one pedestal sign is allowed per property. The current signage is within the allowances in the Code. The applicant is proposing two additional monument signs: one at the northernmost driveway on Highway 10 and one at the easternmost driveway on County Road H2.

The total signage on the site including the new signage would be: • existing pylon sign 10'x 10' on 26' high supports; area= 100 sq.ft. • existing wall sign 23" x 26.5'; area= 50.8 sq.ft. • used car sign, ground mounted 8' 6-1/2" x 5'=42.7 sq.ft. • two new ground mounted 8' 6-1/2" x 5'= 85.4 sq.ft. • miscellaneous small directional signs Total Signage= 278.9 sq. ft. Total Permitted = 100 sq. ft. of signage per tenant; 340 sq. ft. pylon sign=440 sq.ft. The signage on the site is well within the total signage area allowed. Square footage has been redistributed to the monument signs from the allowances for tenant and pylon signs. Staff feels that this approach is acceptable and makes the signage package more functional. Staff also feels that this redistribution requires approval of a variance which would have to be scheduled for the Planning Commission's December 4 meeting, due to notice requirements: I
