The second sign is proposed to be replaced. Multiple grounds <br />signs are permitted on lots abutting multiple streets, although the cumulative sign area is limited <br />to the combined allowable size (e.g. 100 sq ft divide between two ground signs).' <br />Dynamic Signs cannot flash, blink, or resemble traffic signs or create a traffic hazard. The sign <br />must include an ambient light monitor able to adjust the brightness between daytime and <br />nighttime. The sign shall display its message for a minimum of 8 seconds. The sign shall only <br />advertise information and activates that are located on the premises (e.g. cannot advertise <br />community events not held on the property). <br />Analysis: <br />Permitted <br />Existing North Sign <br />Existing South Sign <br />2 <br />Proposed South Sign <br />Static Dynamic <br />Static Dynamic <br />Setback2 <br />15' <br />> 15' <br />15' <br />15' <br />Height3 <br />8' <br />4.5' <br />? <br />8' <br />Area4 <br />50 SF 50 SF5 <br />75 SF <br />36.6 SF <br />14 SF 21 SF <br />100 SF <br />111.6 SF <br />35 SF <br />1 Mounds View City Code §161.038(A)(6)(a); (Specific Sign Type Standards and Requirements; Ground Signs) <br />2 Mounds View City Code §161.038(A)(2); (Specific Sign Type Standards and Requirements; Ground Signs) <br />3 Mounds View City Code §161.037(C) (Ground sign height, by district). NOTE: this section of the Code includes a <br />table of maximum ground sign height permitted in each district. Ground Signs are not permitted in R-1 or R-2, <br />but for certain uses, including churches and places of worship (City Code §161.038(H)(3)(b)(1). Therefore, Staff <br />is interpreting the maximum height in R-1 to be 8', consistent with ground signs permitted in R-3, R-4, and R-5 <br />districts (as opposed to 16' in Business/Industrial districts). <br />4 Mounds View City Code §161.039(A)(2) (Signage allowances for specific land uses; "Ground signage not to <br />exceed 100 square feet, subject to §161.038(A)(5) of this chapter." §161.038(A)(5); "No permit shall be granted <br />for the location of any ground sign having a sign area of more than 40 square feet within 100 feet of any single- <br />family residence." The proposed Dynamic Display is about 110' to the nearest residence, measured from sign to <br />house, and about 72' measured from sign to resident's property. <br />Mounds View City Code §161.038(H)(3)(d) (Specific Sign Type Standards and Requirements; Dynamic display <br />signs) <br />The resounds View vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
