STAFF REPORT DATE: December 8, 1992 TO: Planning Commission FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant ITEM: COMPREHENSIVESIGN PLAN- 3813 STINSON BOULEVARD BACKGROUND The applicants,Mr. James Sarna and Mr. William Vogt, are submitting a comprehensive sign plan for a strip mail (7,500 to 75,000 square feet). The comprehensive sign plan consists of three elements: (1) wall signs, (2) replacement pylon sign, and (3) ground sign for a strip mall. Wall Signs: (No drawing provided). The same wall signs that currently are in place will remain. The current wall signs are nonilluminated, black lettering at a height of two feet. Replacement Pylon Sign: (Refer to Detail A). A variance was granted for size, number of signs, and ground clearance' height. The variance allowed a sign that is 208.7 square feet, has four price signs - a smaller gasoline brand sign - a strip mall identification sign, and six feet of ground clearance. The applicant proposes a Conoco sign type B6 that is 219.96 square feet, as the property is significantly setback and the need to advertise three grades of gasoline. Under the new sign ordinance, the number of price signs and price sign size is not a consideration (new total sign surface area allowed is 150 square feet). The new sign ordinance allows eight feet of ground clearance (the same requirement as traffic signs). The Conoco sign will have a red background with white lettering. The sign will be illuminated.. Ground Sign for a Strip Mall: (Refer to Detail B). The new sign ordinance allows a ground sign for strip malls with a total sign surface area of 150 square feet. The proposed sign area is 128+ square feet (including the upper triangle area). The ground sign will have a white or tan background with dark brown lettering. The sign will be illuminated. RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the Comprehensive Sign Plan to the City Council on the following condition: The replacement pylon sign shall not exceed 208.7 square feet, which most likely means that Conoco sign type B5 shall be used instead of the proposed Conoco sign type B6.
