ain thou DAT E : A P PRO A gy April 16, 1987 T O : Planning Commission Members FROM : David M. Childs, City Manager I T EM : SIGN VARIANCE PENNY CERVANTES FOR EQUINOX APARTMENTS, 2808 SILVER LANE The sign ordinance allows one freestanding sign for a multiple - dwelling complex not greater than 50 square feet in sign surface area with the total sturcture (including sign) not to exceed 150 square feet in area and- not taller than- 10 feet in height. - The applicants currently have 3 signs of 2 X 4 in size. They propose to update these signs and add one additional sign near the Hardee's Restaurant south entrance. The applicants would be allowed to update the existing signs without a variance if they were the same size and location. They want to add one new sign, however, and they also wish to relocate the sign on Silver Lane as shown the sketch. Our records show that the proposed location is on the City right-of-way and thus is unacceptable. Whatever the location, a variance is needed to add the new sign near the Hardee's entrance. Total square footage requested in the 3 freestanding signs is 48, which is below the maximum of 50 square feet. Special circumstances exist due to the layout of the Equinox Apartments with several entrances and no real "main" entrance. In addition, the complex is really divided into two "sub- complexes" and is thus fairly difficult to identify with one sign. No calls have been received either for or against this request. The proposed signage should enhance the building, however, the Silver Lane sign must be located back away from the right-of-way (approximately 15 feet from the curb on the north) . and it should be far enough back from the driveway to the east as not- to obstruct visibility for traffic in and out. :cjk4.16.87 J
