<br /> <br />Item No: 6A <br />Meeting Date: October 16, 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 /> <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 last few Planning Commission <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. Staff has drafted Resolution 993- <br />13 with the discussed amendments. The proposed added changes are underlined and <br />highlighted in blue, and deleted language is stricken and highlighted in red. There is <br />already language for nonconforming signs, which are signs that don’t meet the City Code <br />after it’s amended. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Review the attached resolution with the proposed sign code amendments. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Heidi Heller, Planning Associate <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Resolution 993-13 <br />
