Item No: 5A <br />Meeting Date: May 18, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Planning Case MU2016-001 <br /> <br /> <br />To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br />From: Jon Sevald, Planner <br />Re: Consider Resolution 1048-16, a Resolution recommending approval of a <br />Conditional Use Permit for a Dynamic Display Sign at 2848 Co Rd H2; <br />Planning Case MU2016-001 (CU2016-002) <br />Date: May 18, 2016 <br /> <br /> <br />Introduction <br />Messiah Lutheran Church would like to replace their existing 8’ X 4’ ground sign at the <br />corner of Co Rd H2 and Knollwood Dr. with an 8’ X 5’ multi-colored Dynamic Display <br />sign at the same location. The existing sign encroaches into the 30’ sight triangle, and <br />is therefore a non-conforming structure. <br /> <br />Dynamic Display signs are a permitted use in the B-2, B-3, B-4, and Commercial PUD <br />districts (Section 1008.10, Subd 9(c)(1). Such signs for schools, churches, places of <br />worship or other institutional uses require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in other <br />districts (Section 1008.10, Subd 9(c)(2). Further, if within a residential district, such <br />signs are limited to the use of amber colored lights (Section 1008.10, Subd 9(c)(2)(b). <br /> <br />Messiah Lutheran Church has applied for three permits (CUP; Variance to setback; and <br />Variance for non-amber color). The permits may be discussed together, but must be <br />acted upon separately (separate Public Hearings). The City Council will conduct the <br />Public Hearing for the CUP. The Planning Commission, acting as the Board of <br />Adjustment, will conduct the Public Hearings for the Variances. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />A Dynamic Display sign features an animated message area using an internal lighting <br />source (e.g. LED, LCD, CRT, Plasma). Within Mounds View, Dynamic Display signs <br />(excluding billboards) may be found at: <br /> <br />CVS Holiday Station City Hall McDonald’s The Mermaid <br />Walgreens Super America Cenex Abby Carpet Sysco <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />M E M O <br />
