Ft <br />Analysis: <br />Staff researched sign regulations from cities with zoning districts and traffic counts similar to <br />Mounds View Boulevard, finding that other cities permit Wall Signs significantly larger than <br />Mounds View does. If Mounds View increased wall signage from 100 sq ft to 200 sq ft per <br />occupant, this would be reasonable. <br />Regulation 2022 <br />Allowed at The <br />Bear Lot <br />Ground Sin <br />Wall Sin <br />Ground Sin <br />Wall Si n <br />Area <br />Height <br />Area <br />Area <br />Height <br />Area <br />Arden Hills <br />100sf <br />16' <br />80sf <br />100sf <br />16' <br />80sf <br />Blaine <br />180sf <br />14' <br />10°/%4 or 200sf, whichever smaller <br />180sf <br />14' <br />200sf <br />Coon Rapids <br />200sf <br />20'-36' <br />40sf or 10% up to 200sf <br />200sf <br />30' <br />200sf <br />Fridley <br />80sf <br />25' <br />1 15X of � wall len th5 <br />80sf <br />25' <br />1 233.3sf <br />Mounds View <br />200sf <br />16' <br />100sf <br />200sf <br />16' <br />100sf <br />New Brighton <br />64sf <br />20' <br />40% of wall area, or 200sf <br />whichever smaller <br />64sf <br />20' <br />200sf <br />Roseville <br />200sf <br />25' <br />1.5sf /1 sf of wall length <br />200sf <br />25' <br />363sf <br />Shoreview <br />50-150sf <br />10'-20' <br />5%-10% of wall area max 500sf <br />60sf <br />6' <br />424sf <br />White Bear <br />Lake <br />35sf <br />10, <br />Single -tenant: 10% of front wall <br />area + 5% of side wall area, not to <br />exceed 200 sq ft, based on size of <br />building.

Therefore, Staff intends to further <br />research the City's intent of the County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District (2014). <br />Of the comparable cities surveyed, rooftop signs are prohibited. In reviewing Minneapolis' sign <br />code', Roof Signs are permitted in specific zoning districts, with a maximum 5' height above a <br />flat roof or parapet. Projection Signs are permitted to exceed the rooftop, 2' per story up to 10' <br />above a flat roof. Example, rooftop "Wells Fargo" sign across from US Bank Stadium (as seen <br />from the sky). <br />The proposed amendment allows for iconic statues (Projection Signs) up to 10' above the roof <br />height. Ten feet is consistent with the maximum height permitted for rooftop equipment.$ <br />Projection Signs are included within the 200' sq ft Wall Sign calculation. <br />4 Front wall area (MV Blvd side) = 4,296sf area (source: p.A3.1 Building Elevations, Mar 6, 1998) <br />5 Wall length (MV Blvd side) = 242' (source) = p.A2.1 Floor Plan, Mar 6, 1998). Building height = 18' <br />e Ground Sign #1 = 144.2sf area (permit #2017-00012), 26' ht (Res 5042). Ground Sign #2 & #3 = 2X 42.7sf.
