Item 08C <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />The City Code allows churches up to 100 sq ft of Ground Signs. The existing Ground Signs <br />total 111.6 sq ft, and are non -conforming. The sign to be replaced was installed in 2000. <br />Nonconformities ..."may be continued, including through repair, replacement, restoration, <br />maintenance, or improvement, but not expansion"....6 The proposed sign will reduce the <br />nonconformity, therefore, a Variance is not required. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />N/A <br />Financial Impact: <br />N/A <br />Planning Commission Recommendation <br />The Planning Commission recommended approval (Resolution 1153-22). <br />Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval. <br />A Public Hearing Notice was published by the Shoreview Press on October 25, 2022, and <br />mailed to property owners within 350' of the subject property. <br />A resident submitted an email opposing the dynamic sign due to a number of reasons, including <br />its brightness. The Church has offered to shut the sign off after 10:00 pm. The Planning <br />Commission's recommendation does not include this restriction. <br />In 2016, the City Council approved a similar CUP for a dynamic display for Messiah Lutheran <br />Church, 2848 County Road H2. The City has not received any complaints regarding brightness. <br />Respectfully, <br />Jon Sevald, AICP <br />Community Development Director <br />ATTACHED <br />Aerial Photo <br />Site Photo <br />Resolution 9647 <br />Email chain: Steve Hadeen (neighbor), Matt Duffy (contractor), Jon Sevald, Oct 31 — Nov 6, <br />2022 <br />Drawings <br />Application <br />Application Complete <br />60-Days <br />120-Days <br />CUP <br />Oct 6, 2022 <br />Oct 6, 2022 <br />Dec 6, 2022 <br />Jan 6, 2023 <br />6 MN Statute §462.357 (Official Controls: Zoning Ordinance), Subd le (Nonconformities) <br />i ne rviuunus view vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
