<br /> <br />Item No: 6A <br />Meeting Date: October 2, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Planning Commission <br />From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br />Item Title/Subject: Sign Code Amendment 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 and August 21, 2013 <br />meetings and feels that amending the sign code (Chapter 1008) rather than only having <br />specific requirements for the corridor is a better option. The majority of the commercial <br />signage is along the corridor so it makes more sense to have the sign code be consistent <br />for the whole City. <br /> <br />The proposed added changes are underline and highlighted in blue, and deleted <br />language is stricken and highlighted in red. There is already language for nonconforming <br />signs, which are signs that don’t meet the City Code after it’s amended. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Review the proposed sign code amendments. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
