<br />.Item No: 6A <br />Meeting Date: August 21, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Other Planning Activity <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: County Road 10 Corridor Discussion <br /> <br /> <br />The corridor is the City Council’s priority this year and the Planning Commission has been <br />asked to review the Zoning Code in order to better promote and accommodate <br />development along County Road 10. <br /> <br />The Commission has started by focusing on creating a PUD Corridor Overlay District and <br />discussing general development ideas to make the Corridor look better. One of those <br />ideas was changing the style and height allowances of the signage that is along the <br />Corridor to only allow monument style signs, and to reduce the 15 foot setback amount. <br /> <br />The Commission discussed sign code changes at the July 24, 2013 meeting and feels <br />that amending the sign code (Chapter 1008) rather than only having specific requirements <br />for the corridor, is a better option. The majority of the commercial signage is along the <br />corridor so it makes more sense to have the sign code be consistent for the whole City. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />Continue the discussion about sign code amendments. Staff has included several photos <br />of existing business signs in the city, along with information about how tall the signs are. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
